Good ideas don't always speak for themselves, sometimes they need to be packaged or presented in the right way. Good news about a Loops collaboration with Bandwagon, Funkwhale PeerTube, and Vidzy. (Source: https://discord.com/channels/446875483016134658/1293170905505337344/1320630111753474109 ) #DeSo #Bandwagon #Fediverse #FunkWhale #Loops #PeerTube #SocialMedia #Vidzy GoldFish, Loops, and Vidzy are Fediverse platforms geared towards short-form video. Akkoma, Mastodon, Misskey, and Pleroma are Fediverse platforms that allow the uploading of short-form video, but are NOT necessarily geared towards them. Pixelfed has a Mascot. How did I not know this. Pixelfed's mascot is a Red Panda. (source: https://github.com/pixelfed/brand-assets )   📚 Mastodon History Back in February 23rd, 2016 — Mastodon first described itself as: “Mastodon is a federated microblogging engine. An alternative implementation of the GNU Social project.” The history of Mastodon is tied to GNU Social. https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/fa33750105389110a3395ca19167f789d21a149e/README.md https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/tree/fa33750105389110a3395ca19167f789d21a149e #DeSo #Fediverse #FediverseHIstory #GNUSocial #Mastodon #MastodonHistory I created my first Fediverse Starter-Pack / Follow-Pack using fedidevs.com A Starter-Follow-Pack of people who make the technology of and for the Fediverse. (It is currently incomplete, as I could only add Mastodon accounts. And the starter-follow-pack won't let you add anyone whose profile is NOT "discoverable". I also probably forgot people to include.) What would a simple catchy slogan for the Fediverse be? What would a simple catchy slogan for Decentralized Social-Media (DeSo) be? (Reply with your slogans.) "Want to build your audience? Consider the fediverse" https://digitalcontentnext.org/blog/2024/06/11/want-to-build-your-audience-consider-the-fediverse/ "The decentralized nature of the fediverse offers a compelling alternative to traditional search and social. Importantly, this approach helps media companies retain their direct relationship with audiences." 🚨 POLL 🚨 Have you tried Soapbox before? Soapbox is an alternative front-end for Mastodon, Pleroma, and I assume also AKkoma. https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox (Also, if you have any thoughts about Soapbox, please (also) leave your thoughts about it in the comments.)

I run my instance with it as well as the Rebased backend. Solid stuff. Great resource utilization and very simple setup.  @reiver could I answer "yes" even if I never ran a server that used it, but instead, interacted with a server that did?  I might be biased, but for me this is the best MastoAPI-compatible web client. One of the reasons is that it's the only client that supports some Pleroma-specific (like birthday reminders and explicit mentioning) and Rebased-specific (like Mobilizon-compatible events) features.
#SpaceHost should start e-mailing invites, to those who joined the waiting-list, for #Firefish starting today. Probably in the next 2 or 3 hours. We try to space out the e-mails — and not send it to everyone on the waiting list all at once. So some people on the waiting list might receive their invite next week, or the week after that, etc.

#SpaceHost is now giving money to the #Lemmy developers on a monthly basis. If someone hosts a #Lemmy instance with #SpaceHost — #SpaceHost will give a portion of the net revenue to the Lemmy developers on an ongoing basis. As more people host Lemmy servers with #SpaceHost , the amount we will be able to give to the Lemmy developers will increase. ( #SpaceHost will do the same for every other open-source Fediverse software we host, too.) .     |

You couldn't pay me a million dollars to use loops with it's current license in place. Anyone who uses it is being played for a fool.
