After someone mentioned me without tagging me on the Return2Ozma thread drama, I decided to Lemmy search my name to see what else I was missing out on. I didn’t realize I was so popular with the “People who defend tankies” demographic of Lemmy! Apparently, I’m a brainrotted liberal debate lord (simultanously, without any...

Think of a publisher, and there's a good chance they'll have a Flipboard account. Now, we're in the process of federating them. Publishers — like just about everyone we know — have a hard time getting their heads around the fediverse and what it means to federate your Flipboard account, so @jejord has written this blogpost. In it, she explains the fediverse, what Flipboard federation looks like, the value of our Magazine feeds, and why we think all this is important. "The fediverse is potentially the One Ecosystem to Rule Them All, and is estimated to grow to 170M users by the end of 2024," writes Jessica.

At its core, the #FreeSoftware movement is all about establishing basic user rights to use, study, share and improve software for any purpose. This is a fundamental core value of #FDroid.

While we think our work is very important, it's no substitute for vigilantly demanding basic #HumanRights. That's why we want to support the #lgbtqiaPlus community by participating in #PrideMonth. Stay strong. Stay proud. :heart_pride:

Last Week in Fediverse – ep 71

Moderator communities, government petitions, and also how I think that PieFed latest small update is more meaningful that it seems. I also spend some time looking at Nostr and Farcaster, as there are interesting developments happening on those networks that are relevant for the fediverse. Let’s dive in:

The News

IFTAS, the Independent Federated Trust and Safety organisation, has launched IFTAS Connect, a ‘new community of practice designed specifically for Fediverse moderators.’ IFTAS has regularly held surveys under fediverse moderators, the Moderator Needs Assessments, and one of the most requested items was a better way to convene and communicate. With IFTAS Connect there is now such a platform, that features an extensive library, forums and a place for group discussions.

The Canadian House of Commons was presented with a petition to for the Canadian government to “enact policy and dedicate budgetary resources to enable the Parliament of Canada to provide an open, trusted, federated, social media presence”. Here’s the video of the petition being read in the House of Commons.

Newsmast wrote last week on the fediverse as a hub for the social web, and how they are integration people into their communities from across multiple platforms, including Threads and Bluesky. They posted a research report this week, Mapping the Social Web, that takes a closer look at where different communites are on different platforms. Some of the main takaways: Most communities are present on only one of two of the platforms, and only US Politics and Politics have strong communities on both Threads, Bluesky and the fediverse.

Link aggregator platform PieFed can now federate with PeerTube. Furthermore, PieFed is using its ‘Topics’ system to promote some PeerTube channels as well. PieFed’s Topics take an aggregation of different Lemmy/Kbin/Mbin communities and group them together under a certain Topic. For example, the Linux Topic now contains a collection of Lemmy communities such as !Linux, as well as @thelinuxexperiment_channel. I think this is something worth paying attention to, as it signals a shift in thinking about how the link-aggregator platforms can work: Platforms like Lemmy (or Reddit) work by having users push content into the platform and are thus fully dependent on user-submission. This addition by PieFed allows for a pull-method as well: PieFed now pulls content into their Topics from other platforms automatically by subscribing to them.

Darnell Clayton draws some more attention to Loforo.com, a Tumblr-like fediverse platform, and points out that it actually has quite a sizable community. The platform reports around 15k MAU, which makes it a top-10 instance in the fediverse by MAU, even though the service is virtually unknown. As I reported a few weeks ago, Lofoto has apparently been integrated with ActivityPub for a while, but never made any formal announcement about it, as for as I can tell. Clayton reports that it is likely that Loforo uses the Mastodon API to a significant extend, as logging into Loforo with a Mastodon client works, and fediDB lists Loforo as a Mastodon instance.

Hollo is a new single-user microblogging platform that is currently being build by Hong Minhee. Hong is also behind Fedify, an ActivityPub server framework, which just got updated this week as well. Hollo is build using the Fedify framework.

FediVision 2024 has concluded, the yearly song contest where artists that are on the fediverse can submit their songs. This year, 72 entries were submitted, and the winner is Misaligned Aardvarks by The Island of Nothing.

Some news from Farcaster and Nostr

Some news from the crypto-affiliated decentralised social networks:

I wrote about Farcaster this week, with the goal of answering the question: why is a social network with 80k daily users valued at 1 billion dollars? While the height of the valuation seems questionable to me, it is clear that Farcaster provides a social network that is indeed valuable for (crypto-focused) VCs. There are enough interesting ideas in Farcaster that it is worth paying attention to.

Talking about Farcaster and why I’m paying attention to what is happening there: Neynar is a company that builds tools that help people create products on top of Farcaster. Neynar announced that they raised 11M USD in a series A. What we’ve seen in the broader ecosystem of decentralised social networks so far is that Nostr has managed to punch above their weight (in terms of active users) with the amount of products being build for Nostr, and a major contributor to that is relatively easy to build other products on top of Nostr. This is in contrast with Bluesky, which has the least amount of developer activity, even though it has the largest active user base, with developers saying it is hard to develop for ATProto. A company that makes it easy for developers to build on top of the protocol can have a significant impact.

Jack Dorsey’s Block mentioned Nostr in their Q1 Shareholder letter, saying that “Creative endeavors will rely heavily on micropayments, something that’s been discussed since the dawn of the internet, and finally being realized at scale with things like “zaps” (transferring small amounts of bitcoin via lightning) on the NOSTR protocol.” Block says that they see an opportunity to build systems that connect the existing financial system with emerging systems, heavily implying Nostr’s Zap system. Rumour is that TIDAL and CashApp (both owned by Block) are working on integrations. Websites for both companies have a link that follows a standard Nostr reference structure: https://tidal.com/.well-known/nostr.json?name=TIDAL and https://cash.app/.well-known/nostr.json. Nothing is officially confirmed however, as far is I can tell this is the only reference to TIDAL and CashApp doing something with Nostr.

(EDIT 2024-06-03: another reference to Nostr in the TIDAL code base)

WeDistribute joined Nos Social’s Journalism Accelerator Program. Nos Social is a client app for Nostr. WeDistribute writes about why they are joining, and seeing value in expanding their writing to include Nostr: “different [networks] offer unique and novel approaches to solving common problems that every decentralized network struggles with. We’re all tackling different pieces of the puzzle, in an effort to make the Social Web a viable alternative”.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading.

Pixelfed Discovery is about to get supercharged!

Install a new server, and it will fetch trending posts and accounts, populate hashtags and synchronize followers/following lists and counts using our new service!

Already have a server? Opt-in to many discovery feeds, profile and hashtag suggestions and comment/avatar backfilling with fine grained config settings.

We’re also improving hashtag federation and public/guest access, enabling non-users to browse trending posts and hashtags!

🧭 🚀 ✨

I also feel the need to remind people that Pixelfed Groups are an opt-in feature, you will never see group posts on the main timelines (home, network)

Groups will have their own separate feed, and notifications too!

While Groups will support text-only posts, outside of Groups, the existing photo/video attachment requirements for top level posts apply.

Pixelfed remains focused on photo and video sharing, groups just extends this to support other mediums without an account on another platform

dansup, to Pixelfed
@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

There are a lot of new aspects that Groups bring to Pixelfed that are similar to existing microblogging platforms, such as:

  • Text only posts
  • Quote posts
  • Markdown support
  • Link cards
  • Polls

And more exotic features like:

  • Events
  • Anonymous Posts (if enabled)
  • Multi tenant/dual layer moderation
  • Realtime Group Chat

They add significant complexity, but we’re doing this properly, following best practices

It will be worth it, just wait and see 😎

I missed chatting with fellow fediverse developers regarding interop, specifically for our upcoming Groups feature!

It's a nice break from solo dev to be able to chat and catch up with other devs, especially my russian brother from another mother @grishka (maybe he will follow me back one day 👀)

I've also reached out to Lemmy devs and plan to get in touch with kbin/mbin and friendica/hubzilla devs soon.

Thanks to @NGIZero for funding the Pixelfed Groups feature, it will be a game changer!

(and ) begins phasing-out Manifest v2.

https://blog.chromium.org/2024/05/manifest-v2-phase-out-begins.html

This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as Origin.

Following 's example, may I instead recommend you switch to .

Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.

Happy browsing.

Iceshrimp: A #csharp fediverse platform

Was just told (by @Subversivo ) about this: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp.net

#Iceshrimp are rewriting the whole thing (a JS/Node #misskey / #firefish fork) in C# with Blazor for the frontend.

Cool to see. Should handle the performance issues that have plagued the *key forks and maybe provide a new general branch of fediverse platform.

What lang/stack isn't represented on the fediverse now? C++, Kotlin?
