So this is my very first interaction with littleFedi. I'm amazed by how well it looks !

So let's keep this post simple and share its website: https://littlefedi.org/

#littlefedi #fediverse

LittleFedi asks in the compose field:
"What is worth sharing?"

Interesting question 🤔

Other clients ask, e.g.:
"What's on your mind?"
(you don't want to know, really 😁)
or
"What are you doing?"
(nothing really, watching my timeline fly by)

Another question could be:
"Have you really thought about what you are about to share with the public / whole wide world?" 🤔

Typische Familienkutsche in #Taiwan und nein, das ist keine Ausnahme, eher die Regel wenn ne Familie unterwegs ist.
Kein Land hat eine derartig hohe Scooter-Dichte wie meine Wahlheimat.

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in die neue Woche. Alles wird gut!

Alt...

Eine Aufnahme aus dem Straßenverkehr in Taiwan, die eine vierköpfige Familie auf einem einzigen Motorroller zeigt. Zentrales Motiv: Ein dunkler Motorroller wird von einer Frau im roten Oberteil und mit orangefarbenem Helm gesteuert. Vor ihr am Lenker sitzt ein kleines Kind, während hinter ihr ein zweites Kind und ganz hinten der Mann im schwarzen T-Shirt und hellblauem Helm mitfahren – alle tragen einen Helm.

Hej, I'm Florian, or Flo for short (only my family calls me with my full name).

Born 1977 as a gay person, and raised near Lake Constance in the south of Germany.
After my parents got a divorce and my father met another woman, we moved to Dresden, when I was 15.
Lived here until I started my apprenticeship in 2000 in Lindau (Lake Constance), so moved back again.
After being self-employed (ebay seller and creating simple websites), which unfortunately wasn't sustainable, I took a job in the security branch, however only got contracts for one year (three times), until I moved back to Dresden in 2010 and lived here ever since.

Since 2018 I have a dog, which you can see in my header picture, when we took a walk along the river Elbe.

Currently unemployed (since May '24), IT-support (thanks "AI", which overtook my profession, I guess).

Interested in too many things, like minimalism, barefoot shoes, cycling, music, interior design, and much more.

I was a twitter "power user", from 2009-2022.
Created my first account in the fediverse on mastodon.social in 2018, however only used it sporadically.
Since the end of 2022, I exclusively use the fediverse and experienced different network software (mastodon, akkoma, pixelfed, and now littlefedi).

That's it as an introduction for now 😀

PS: English is my first foreign language, so please bear with me in case of errors.

#introduction #littlefedi #fediverse

cross-posted from: retrolemmy.com/post/41731951

Hi,

A little while back we introduced old.retrolemmy.com. This is not really interesting on its own, but I wondered if we could also get it running on Retrofed. And this was successful by way of a proxy. The cool side effect the proxy had is that lemmy-only apps now also work if you enter old.retrofed.com in your preferred app.

This made the idea of preservation come up, and @Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com wondered if the proxy could be modified to also work on lemmybb and translate to older API versions. And after a while I got forum.retrolemmy.com to work with lemmybb - an old software for lemmy last updated 3 years ago - that makes the fediverse look and work like an old phpbb forum of older days. Most functions are working and functioning as intended, but there can still be some bugs here and there. Some we could probably fix, but some can also be attributed to the older software and it’s quirks.

If you notice any bugs, you can message me, or reply here.

Also, this project got pretty big, but if you want to use it yourself, its at Github. It has full 0.17, limited 0.18 and full 0.19 support for the frontend, and lemmy(current) or piefed for the backend.

This thread is posted via forum.retrolemmy.com

Edit: Known limitations:

• No 2fa. As this was only added in lemmy version 0.18.x
• No last reply date/time. This can be enabled, but will call a ton of API calls for every page load, making the site unusable.
• 500: Internal Server Error -There is a real, pre-existing bug in lemmyBB’s own code, where it makes a direct fetch, but doesnt handle a missing header gracefully. Unfortunately unfixable without changing the lemmyBB code (and that’s against the idea of this project)
• Old posts are at the top instead of new ones - This is because the posts are stickied in the community, making them always be on top. This is especially visible in the “General” community. The new posts are under the stickied posts.

Tiny reminder that it's important
to boost posts on Mastodon!

Liking only will not help a post being seen more. Boosting will! ✨

Boost the posts you want others to see. Add hashtags to your posts to help others find them.

This is the Fediverse way

Ode to the Fediverse

Come gather, creatures, near and far,
From forest, burrow, moon, and star.
With feathers, fur, and scales in tow,
And quirks that make the whole place glow.

Some chirp, some howl, some hiss, some squeak,
And yet kindness is all they speak.
A thousand charms, a thousand ways
To brighten up each other’s days.

Now bring your paws, your wings, your claws,
Your odd ideas and curious flaws.
Come as you are, be wild, be weird
For every kind of strange is cheered!

So welcome one and welcome all,
Come find your kin, both great and small.
A place where every kind’s diverse,
In what we call the fediverse.

littleFedi media management

Are you worried that your low-power device will be overwhelmed by external media caching?

Don't worry, we've already thought of that!

littleFedi offers 4 media management options:

• "No caching, no proxying": Media is fetched directly by the user from the originating instance.
• "Proxy only mode" (like this instance): The instance proxies requests so media is always served to the user through it. The originating instance will never see littleFedi users' requests.
• "Lazy caching mode": Requests are proxied and then cached locally, so subsequent requests are served directly from the local cache.
• "Full caching mode": Similar to Mastodon, it fetches and stores media locally as soon as it is processed by the instance.

For both caching modes, you can store media locally or use an external S3-compatible service. Moving between storage types is supported natively, without needing external tools like rclone.

New littleFedi build on littleOne

littleFedi 26.08.09 - the changes in this build compared with the previous
deployment.

Followed hashtags in the main navigation

Your followed hashtags are now one click away: a Hashtags entry (with a
hashtag icon) has been added to the desktop navigation bar and the mobile
account menu, pointing at /tags. The label is translated in every supported
language.

Blog posts show a link back to their permalink

Posts that have been published to the blog now carry a small Blog chip in
the status meta line. It links to the post's readable permalink
(/@user/blog/<slug>/) and works on timestamps and boosts, so readers can jump
straight from the timeline to the polished blog version of a long post.

Status meta line reworked

Every marker on a status - visibility, language, blog chip, expiry - is now
rendered as the same uniform chip in a single wrapping flex row, instead of a
mix of right-aligned inline boxes. Posts that carry several markers read as one
neat line rather than a ragged stack. The Ink and Roost themes were adjusted to
match.

Robustness: orphaned-account posts no longer break the page

Previously a post whose author account no longer resolves (a purged account, or
a partially hydrated cache entry) could fail the whole timeline render. Now any
status - including the target of a boost - whose author is missing is silently
skipped. Covered by a new test.

Icon updates

• Catch-up view and its navigation entries now use a VHS icon instead of the
  old sparkle (thank you for the suggestion, @shom@littleone.littlefedi.social ).
• The "redraft" action gets a proper undo icon.
• The Appearance and Blog appearance settings sections get a palette
  icon.
• New hashtag icon for the navigation.

Blog theming fixes

• Proper spacing restored for non-paragraph content in the post body: headings,
  bullet/numbered lists, horizontal rules and code blocks now breathe instead of
  collapsing against each other.
• A post with a single attachment now renders a full-width figure (the old
  grid left a small thumbnail stranded at the left edge).
• The "View or reply in the Fediverse" link is now consistently styled.
• Ledger theme: long code lines scroll inside their block instead of
  breaking out past the reading measure.
• Marginalia theme: the thread link, replies and pager now align to the text
  column on wide screens, and print output was cleaned up.

If you publish a blog, regenerate it so the fixes apply: Settings → Blog
appearance → Rebuild blog now. The blog's style.css is assembled at build
time, so it only picks up these changes when you rebuild.

#littleFedi #littleOne #Fediverse

To say I am excited about #LittleFedi software would be an understatement. What I am seeing from @stefano and the team breaks new barriers for entering in, and participating in, the #Fediverse. Can't wait to test on a self hosted Pi at home. If successful, I shall migrate my long established Mastodon cloud instance to it and serve all from home on local hardware.

☀️ Hitze, 🛋️ Wochenende, 🥱 Langeweile – was macht man da?

Genau: Sinnfreie Statusseiten mit eigenem Design bauen. 😄

Da sich unser tolles Werkzeug #UptimeKuma ja so *hervorragend* designen lässt (Ja! Das war dezente Kritik. Dennoch: Danke für dieses tolle Stück Software! ;) - musste ich für die Optik mit der API ran.

Für zwei von drei Welten gibt es nun kleine eigene Statusseiten die zwar schon bestanden und auch weiterhin bleiben, aber eben im eigenem Kuma-Design.
Beide greifen auf die API ihres jeweiligen Origins zu:

🌐 #AWsite – mit eigener Subdomain:
https://status.weindl.biz

🌐 #FEROX – bekommt einen Pfad:
https://ferox.cc/status

Einzig #AWiT bleibt vorerst beim Kuma-Standarddesign. AWiT bekommt aber in absehbarer Zeit ein komplettes Redesign, sobald die Vereinsgründung abgeschlossen ist.

Nun aber: Weil ich heute durch einen anderen Post auf den Geschmack gekommen bin, heißt es jetzt #Couchen und #DemolitionMan in OV schauen. 📺

Sanfte Grüße 🌙 und wer Probleme mit seinem Bidet hat -> die 3 Muscheln benutzen!

Some pretty clouds and pinkish sunset sky reflected in a weed-filled small lake. There are some dead trees on the far side and bright green grass that's reflected in the water, along with the clouds above.

Waehrend #Taiwan gerade von den Auslaeufern von Taifun Dolphin erwischt wird und es echt kuebelt wie Otter, hab ich mir eine Apfel-Zimtschnecke bestellt und ich finde, ihr solltet wissen, wie lecker die war 😊

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Sonntag. Alles wird gut!

Eine Nahaufnahme einer saftigen Apfelzimtschnecke in einer weißen Gebäckschachtel. Zentrales Motiv: Das gebackene Schneckengebäck liegt auf einer braunen Papiermanschette. Es hat eine goldbraune Teigstruktur und ist in der typischen Spirale gewickelt. Details & Glasur: Die Oberfläche ist großzügig mit einer glänzenden, klebrigen Zimt-Zucker-Sauce überzogen. In den Rillen und Zwischenräumen der Teigspirale sind kleine Stücke von gebackener Apfelfüllung und Nüssen zu erkennen.

Kein Algorithmus der mir sagt was ich fühlen soll, keine Werbung die meine Träume kennt. Nur Menschen, die Sachen posten weil sie Lust drauf haben. Das #Fediverse ist wie ein Dorf mit vielen Häusern, aber ohne Vermieter. Ich bleib hier.

Getting ready for the opening remarks and panel in the Earth Sciences Building. Come learn more about the fediverse! If you’re reading this, you already know at least a bit, but I’m excited for this panel.

Photo from the seats of an auditorium with slides visible showing “Beyond the Walled Gardens: What the Fediverse is and why you belong here”

Great day at #Fedicon yesterday. I met lots of new people from the #ActivityPub community. I've always thought that #XMPP and the #Fediverse are ideologically well-aligned, and that our developer communities should talk to each other more. In that regard, it was a big success.

I had a (very) minor medical issue this morning so I arrived 2 minutes after the #FOSSY keynote began.

Fun part is I walked in just as The GOAT #Fediverse person, @evan, was listing his long résumé — his work is essential & a catalyst in many ways to what we now have in #ActivityPub, Fediverse, & #Mastodon.

I am so excited that #FediCon is cohosted with #FOSSY26 and I very much hope that continues for many years to come.

#FOSSY2026

👏👏👏👏

On the Fediverse panel, @evan just said on the #Fediverse panel at #FOSSY26 : “This may not be a popular thing to say at #FOSSY, but we have to welcome proprietary implementations of #ActivityPub.

You'll be surprised I applauded loudest.

This is a principle that Social Workers call “meet your client where they are”. You can't help them if you *never* meet them.

Early #USENET erred badly because it was a computer geek monoculture. We must not be that here.

📰 Wochenrückblick KW 31 / 2026

Der Wochenrückblick kommt diesmal mit etwas Verspätung. Inzwischen ist schon wieder Freitagnacht – manchmal schreibt eben das echte Leben den Terminplan. 😊
Die vergangene Woche hat wieder einmal gezeigt, wie nah Freude und Sorge in der Sächsischen Schweiz beieinanderliegen.

Nach einem Regenschauer zeigte sich Königstein von seiner schönsten Seite. Über den Elbhängen hing noch der Nebel, während sich langsam wieder die Sonne ihren Weg bahnte. Ganz anders der Blick auf den Lilienstein: Das goldene Getreide ist reif und überall sind die Mähdrescher unterwegs. Die Erntezeit hat begonnen und die Felder verändern sich nun fast täglich.

Die Elbe dagegen führt weiterhin sehr wenig Wasser. Die historischen Schaufelraddampfer mussten ihren Fahrbetrieb wegen des Niedrigwassers einstellen. Zum Glück verbindet die Personenfähre zwischen Königstein und Halbestadt die beiden Elbufer weiterhin zuverlässig – ein kleines Stück Normalität in diesen ungewöhnlichen Tagen.

Besonders bewegt hat viele Menschen das schwere Unwetter, das am vergangenen Wochenende den Raum Rathen getroffen hat. Innerhalb weniger Minuten richteten Sturm und umstürzende Bäume enorme Schäden an. Ein Mensch verlor dabei sein Leben, weitere wurden verletzt. Auch die Felsenbühne Rathen, der Bootsverleih und der Imbiss am Amselsee sowie zahlreiche Wanderwege wurden schwer beschädigt. Die Hilfsbereitschaft in der Region ist jedoch beeindruckend: Viele Einsatzkräfte, Helfer und Freiwillige packen gemeinsam an, damit unsere schöne Heimat Schritt für Schritt wieder auf die Beine kommt.

Mein viertes Bild zeigt einen Hochsitz mitten im Wald – ein stiller Ort.
Diese 4 Bilder zeigen, wie kraftvoll und zugleich verletzlich die Natur sein kann. Sie schenkt uns Erholung, verlangt aber auch Respekt.

Mehr gibt es diese Woche gar nicht zu berichten. Manchmal erzählen schon vier Bilder mehr als viele Worte. Der Wetterbericht verspricht auch für die kommende Woche wieder viel Sonne und sommerliche Temperaturen. So schön das für Ausflüge und Urlaub ist – unsere Wälder, Felder und die Elbe würden sich inzwischen wohl über ein paar ausgiebige Regentage freuen. Bleiben wir trotzdem zuversichtlich, genießen die schönen Seiten des Sommers und hoffen, dass die Natur bald wieder etwas aufatmen kann. 🌾🍀

Eure Frau Kolumna aus Halbestadt 💁‍♀️

Advice to a junior sysadmin

Stefano Marinelli (creator of the excellent FediMeteo) is working on a new type of lightweight Fediverse server called "littleFedi".

It's still in its early days and under development, but the first test server is now open and Stefano is gathering feedback about it. More info in the quoted post at https://littleone.littlefedi.social/@stefano/a105002b-5749-437d-a3cd-da54dfa70395 and more detail at https://littleone.littlefedi.social/@stefano/4252ae6f-b949-42f8-a021-fd2b698f8b37

You can follow Stefano at @stefano@bsd.cafe or on his littleFedi account at @stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social

Stefano Marinelli - littleFedi » 🌐 2026-08-05
@stefano@littleone.littlefedi.social

Hi everyone, I'm Stefano

Also known as the BSD Cafe and illumos Cafe barista - @stefano@bsd.cafe and @stefano@illumos.cafe

This is the first post from littleOne (littleone.littlefedi.social), the first littleFedi instance open to outside users.

littleFedi is a new ActivityPub server, still in active development, written in Go and shipped as a single binary. It speaks standard ActivityPub, so it federates normally with Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma and the rest of the fediverse, and it exposes a Mastodon-compatible API, so most existing apps already work with it.

A few things about it that aren't the usual fediverse defaults:

• Catch-up instead of an algorithm. Timelines stay chronological, full stop. There's a separate /catchup page, visited on demand, that ranks what you missed using only signals this instance already has locally - who you follow boosted it, replies and favourites delivered here, hashtags you follow. No external popularity data comes in, nothing about what you read is tracked. It answers "what did I miss" without turning into a feed that decides for you.

• Static blogging built in. Any post can be marked as a blog post and gets published as a plain static page under /@username/blog/, with its own permalink, Atom feed, and no JavaScript or database hit per view, while still being a normal federated post underneath. A proper home for longer writing that doesn't need to compete with a timeline.

• Self-expiring posts. Any post can be given a timer and auto-delete on its own.

• Bubble timeline. A middle ground between local and federated: a timeline scoped to a set of instances you've chosen to group together, not just your own or everything.

• littleMesh. A way to federate without a public domain, certificate, or open port at all - meant for something like a Raspberry Pi behind NAT. Instances get an address derived from an Ed25519 key pair and reach each other through pinned relays that never see plaintext.

• No trends, no suggestions. These are intentionally left empty. Nothing here is trying to surface "popular" content or keep anyone scrolling longer.

• Security defaults taken seriously. Signed federation (HTTP Signatures), optional Object Integrity Proofs, TOTP MFA, audit logs, and full account export, migration and deletion if you ever want your data to live somewhere else.

This instance is here to test all of that with real accounts, not just a small group ones'. In the next few days I'll be reaching out to everyone who already told me they were interested, to set the first accounts up - an invite is coming. If you'd rather just follow along and see how it goes, that works too.

It's a test instance, so expect the occasional rough edge. If something breaks or feels wrong, tell me - that's exactly what this phase is for.

🌞 Moin ihr Lieben – endlich Wochenende!

Der Blick aus meinem Fenster verrät es schon: Auch heute erwartet uns wieder herrliches Sommerwetter. ☀️ Und das nun schon seit Tagen.

Ein bisschen mehr Wasser dürfte allerdings gern in der Elbe sein. Die historischen Schaufelraddampfer haben ihre Fahrten wegen des Niedrigwassers eingestellt – ein ungewohntes Bild für unsere Region.

Aber zum Glück gibt es noch genügend andere Möglichkeiten, die Natur zu genießen. 🌿 Ob ein Spaziergang durch den Wald, eine Wanderung durch die Berge, ein ruhiges Plätzchen am Wasser oder einfach nur irgendwo sitzen, schauen und die Gedanken schweifen lassen – überall gibt es Orte, die uns ein wenig Ruhe und Erholung schenken können.

Für mich fühlt sich dieses Wochenende außerdem schon ein bisschen nach Vorfreude an: Nicht mehr lange, dann gönne ich mir nächste Woche selbst eine kleine Pause. 😊

Und auch im Fediverse darf es am Wochenende ruhig einmal etwas entspannter zugehen. Nicht jede Diskussion muss geführt, nicht jeder Beitrag kommentiert und nicht jede Nachricht sofort beantwortet werden. Vielleicht teilen wir stattdessen einfach ein bisschen von dem, was uns Freude macht: einen schönen Ausblick, einen stillen Moment, eine kleine Entdeckung oder ein freundliches Wort.

Denn auch das gehört für mich zum Fediverse: miteinander teilen, sich austauschen und zwischendurch einfach gemeinsam die schönen Dinge wahrnehmen. 🌻

Ich wünsche euch ein schönes, erholsames Wochenende. Genießt den Sommer und passt gut auf euch auf. ☀️🌿

littleFedi: a Fediverse Server That Doesn't Need a Data Centre

I was fifteen, and there were no BBSes in my city. So every call was long distance, once a day, sometimes twice. I'd start the dialer and wait for that sound - the handshake, the negotiation, the hiss settling into a carrier - and then I was connected to a computer sitting in somebody's bedroom, a few hundred kilometres away. I was a co-sysop of a local board and a national moderator of a FidoNet area. None of my friends understood what I was doing, and they'd stopped asking to avoid an incomprehensible monologue. But I liked it, and that was enough for me.

Here's the thing about that computer in someone's bedroom. There was no data centre. No domain, no certificate authority, no hosting provider, no cloud. Just a machine, a phone line, and a person who'd decided to run it. If you wanted to reach it, you called it.

Now look at what it takes today to put a small server on the network so other people can talk to it. A public address, which most home connections no longer have. A domain, which you rent. A certificate, which somebody has to issue you. And, increasingly, a VPS somewhere, because the software won't fit on the hardware you already own.

We've added a lot of infrastructure between two people who just want to talk. That's what littleFedi is about.

What it is

A single Go binary. No Ruby, no Sidekiq, no Redis, no separate worker processes to babysit. You run init, answer a few questions, and you've got a working instance. It speaks ActivityPub, and it speaks the Mastodon client API well enough that existing apps just work.

It also runs on hardware that would make Mastodon - or even Akkoma - struggle. Most software in this space assumes a VPS with a few gigabytes of RAM and a database server next to it. We assumed a Raspberry Pi Zero W behind a home router. There's a low_power mode that tunes memory use, image decoding and thumbnail generation for exactly that kind of box, and it's tested on that kind of box, not just on a fast dev machine.

In spirit this puts littleFedi close to snac, which I've always liked a lot. Same conviction: a personal server shouldn't need a fleet of services behind it.

Federating without a public address

littleMesh is the part I'm most attached to, and it's the part that goes back to the modem.

Your instance generates an Ed25519 key pair. That key is its identity - the node's address is derived from the public key, so reaching that address means reaching the holder of that key and nobody else. No registrar, no certificate authority, nobody to ask permission from.

A small set of public lighthouse nodes help two instances find each other. Once they're introduced, the traffic runs over a second TLS session pinned to both node IDs. The lighthouse copies encrypted bytes back and forth. It never sees plaintext, and it can't impersonate either side. And if the two nodes can reach each other directly, they drop the relay after the introduction and talk peer to peer.

Which is, more or less, calling the BBS directly. Just without the phone bill.

The gateway into ordinary HTTPS

Mastodon and other regular servers can't resolve a mesh address on their own. There's no domain and no certificate for them to find.

That's what the optional HTTPS gateway is for. A lighthouse operator can run one alongside the relay, and it bridges the mesh into ordinary HTTPS for the rest of the web. The gateway has to terminate TLS to do that, so it can technically see the traffic passing through it. Which is exactly why it's a separate, opt-in piece and not something every node exposes by default.

It has two independent settings: one controls what the gateway lets ordinary internet visitors reach at all, and a second one applies again at the destination node. Left at their defaults, both allow only federation traffic - ActivityPub delivery, discovery, public media. Web login, API and media proxy stay closed unless an operator deliberately opens them.

Mesh peers talking to each other directly never touch the gateway at all. That exposure only applies to the bridge into the wider web. And all of this can be self-hosted.

Chronological timelines

Timelines are chronological. Nothing gets reordered by an engagement model.

If you want something closer to "what did I miss", there's a separate /catchup page you visit on purpose. It ranks posts using signals your own instance already has - how many people you follow boosted something, whether it continues a conversation you took part in. No external popularity score, no telemetry, nothing leaves the machine. You press "mark as read", it moves a divider, and that's the only thing it remembers.

Self-expiring posts

You can set a post to expire, with its own timer, instead of a fixed instance-wide setting.

This isn't a client-side trick that hides the post from view. The expiry goes on the same durable job queue that runs the rest of littleFedi's background work, so the deletion survives restarts and isn't lost if the process happens to be down at the moment the timer fires. When it does fire, the post is deleted and a real Delete activity goes out to everyone who received it - so it actually disappears from remote instances too, not just locally. Editing the post before then can push the timer back or cancel it.

Static blogs, with real threaded replies

littleFedi can take a Fediverse post and publish it as a page on a plain static blog, with its own Atom feed and permalinks that don't move even if you edit the post later. No JavaScript, no database hit on page load.

The part I find more interesting is that the replies aren't left out. If the author turns the option on, littleFedi pulls the public replies that were actually federated to the post, threads them the same way the timeline does, and bakes the whole tree into the generated HTML at build time. So a blog post can show a real comment thread, in the same static file, with the same guarantee as the rest of the page - no JavaScript, no live queries. Only public and unlisted replies qualify, obviously. Anything followers-only or direct never enters the picture.

Why it looks like this

This isn't minimalism for its own sake. It's about how many people simply can't run their own server today, because the requirements are too steep. The hardware, the ops complexity, or just needing a domain and a public address before you can start. We're trying to remove those barriers one at a time, while still shipping a real, federating, reasonably complete server: polls, quotes, scheduled posts, MFA, PostgreSQL and S3 if you want to scale up later.

I've written before about taking a semi-truck to buy salad. Hardware keeps getting more expensive and the software running on it keeps asking for more of it every year. That's backwards. If the machines cost more, the operational cost of what sits on them should go down, not up. Same with complexity: the default direction is to keep adding it, and we'd rather strip it out.

And there's the other half, which is closer to why any of us are doing this at all. It's the same thing that drew me to snac and to the way grunfink works on it, and the same thing that had me dialing a stranger's computer at fifteen. People building tools so that people can talk to each other. Nothing more dressed up than that. We'd rather show the servers running, talk about the Pi sitting in the corner, share a tiramisu photo if it comes up. The joy in this was never about the money it brings in. It's about what we end up building, humanly, because of it.

It's beta software, still short of a first release, and I'd rather say that plainly than oversell it. But it runs, and it federates. That's the part I wanted to write about.

@Codeberg I just received this email, titled “Your recent Mastodon post” from @dpk on behalf of the Codeberg “Presidium”:

***
Dear Aral Balkan

In your Mastodon post at <https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/117041803584140945> you publically criticized a repository that was hosted on Codeberg, despite linking to an issue thread in which it was made clear that the content should be reported through our usual internal channels for moderation. The repository in question was reviewed by the moderation team and removed. We understand that you suffered reputational damage as a result of this repository’s content, but this does not justify damaging the reputation of Codeberg e.V. in turn. The moderation team is still a volunteer operation and sometimes it takes a few hours for someone to be available to deal with reports or to ensure that consensus exists.

We therefore warn you not to make posts of this kind that could damage the association’s reputation in future. Acting against the interests of the association can be grounds for exclusion from the membership (§5 (5) of the by-laws). If you have issues with content posted on our site in future, please report it to our moderation team at abuse@codeberg.org. In general, reports sent to that email address will usually receive a reply describing what action was taken once the moderation team has considered how to deal with the reported content.

Kind regards
Presidium
***

So, I have a problem with this.

My post in no way damaged the reputation of Codeberg. It publicly asked them to do something about it and to state, publicly, where they stand on an issue. An issue, may I add, that has to do with real people facing actual genocide as we speak. Not to mention I thanked them for making the right decision (https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/117043586669877395). If anything, until this email, it made the organisation look better. Unless, of course, opposing certain genocides is something that damages reputations in Germany.

I do not agree with the public issue being closed either. An issue was reported and the response was not “oh, this is serious, we’ll look into it”. It was, rather, “you reported it wrong. Report the same thing at this other place instead.”

And that other place is an entirely opaque internal system where no one gets to see what decision-making process is employed.

This is not the transparency that should exist in a member-run organisation.

So at the end of the day, I am the one being threatened with being removed from membership while the person who is actively trying to harm genocide victims (https://codeberg.org/Linux-Is-Best/) is still welcome on Codeberg?

This is a very insidious form of bothsidesism and, I can only imagine, is to ensure that I keep quiet in the future and to create a chilling effect where we cannot discuss certain things publicly for fear of reprisals.

Well, that won’t be happening.

I am sick and tired of people who cannot provide a proportional response when asked to choose between people harming genocide victims on the one hand and those trying to protect them on the other.

If this means I cannot be a member of Codeberg, so be it.

Let me know if I’m not welcome there and I will leave.

And you can show the world that Linux-Is-Best is welcome and I am not. If that’s who you are.

A few days ago I asked if you would use an anonymous way to talk with people near you, built on the #Fediverse and #OSM (#OpenStreetMap). The poll is still open, but I already started, because I truly believe in this need. It is called #FediHood. Your account is anonymous, private messages are end to end encrypted, and it reuses the tools I already run in #PawFed and #HolosSocial.

@apps@toot.fedilab.app

I've sometimes thought about building a service combining #OSM and the #Fediverse, to talk with people in the same region.

It would be 100% anonymous: a dedicated account, with no link to your existing Fedi identity, and why not #E2EE for messages.

No exact location: posts are attached to the nearest town, so neither the server nor other users see your coordinates.

Anonymity could be what makes people comfortable enough to talk with people around them. Everyone stays in a safe place.

@iris_meredith @ludicity @lkanies

I do see things happening on Bluesky that I'm interested in, that don't flow over here. At times I've been a little bit tempted to get an account. Haven't 100% ruled it out.

The main thing deterring me is the prospect of it deteriorating in future like Twitter did. Do I really want to invest my time in Twitter 2?

Plus I don't really want to prop up another big-money central-control environment, which being here does not.

Of course there could be reasons that Fedi dwindles down in future as well. E.g. moderator energy might not be sustainable against the increasing DDoS-ish assault of LLM fake accounts.

For now I follow a select few Bluesky accounts via RSS: local Green Party, couple of locally-relevant politicians, etc.

Only disadvantage of doing it that way is occasionally I'd like to reply and can't. On the other hand, that's also a good protection against accidentally getting sucked in :-)

#Bluesky #Fediverse

I've been thinking about an emerging issue here on the #Fediverse, and I would like to suggest we solve it collaboratively.

Issue

Civilians in #Gaza are trying to provide food, medical treatment, and basic necessities for their families. They can't see upfront who would be willing to support them here on the #Fediverse. They can't stay silent either, just watching their kids and vulnerable family members suffer.

So they add long lists of recipients to their posts, and maybe also sent direct messages to a long list of people.

Some recipients feel helpless, because they're already donating. Some people get upset because they do not want to receive a stream of direct messages.

Suggestion

Let's use a ""#hashtag" (to be determined):

1) When you post a call for donations, write it without a long list of recipients, so everybody reading feels addressed by it.

Include the "#hashtag", to encourage boosts.

2) When you're willing to support civilians in Gaza who are in need, subscribe to the ""#hashtag".

No need to boost all of the posts you will see. If we are many, each of us boosting a single post a day will spread the message. If you don't think a post is a genuine call for help, just don't boost it. If you see malicious abuse of the hashtag, to harm its efficiency, report the abusers.

3) Whoever doesn't want to see the "#hashtag" can filter it.

Does that sound reasonable?

If you think this is a reasonable approach, please favorite and boost. Optionally reply with a "#hashtag" suggestion that:

• Signals respect for people and institutions in need
• Makes it clear it's about aid and donations for people and humanitarian institutions on the ground (not just generically about Gaza)
• Suggests boosts are also a form of help, if one can't donate (more)

I'll collect all suggestions from the replies on Thursday July 13th midnight UTC, and post a vote listing all of them, that will run for another week, to determine the most favorited one.

Hey everyone,

@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Shosho ahmad (@Shoshoahmsd)
• ahmedaziz (@ahmedaziz059)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

littleFedi works like a real app on your phone

A few people have asked me how to actually use littleFedi on mobile, so let's clear this up. I use MastoBlaster, for obvious reasons. But you don't need to build anything native - littleFedi is a Progressive Web App (PWA), and that means it behaves like a proper installed app once you set it up.

• You add littleFedi to your home screen like any other app
• It opens full screen, no browser address bar, no tabs cluttering things up
• It works offline for the shell of the app, so a dead connection doesn't just throw a blank error page at you
• You get real push notifications, even when the app isn't open
• Static assets load instantly on repeat visits because they're cached on the device

Just your browser doing what browsers are supposed to do.

Installing it

On Android (Chrome or most Chromium-based browsers): open your instance, tap the menu, and choose "Add to Home screen" or "Install app". On iOS (Safari): tap the Share button, then "Add to Home Screen". That's it - the icon lands on your home screen and from then on littleFedi launches like a native app, in its own window, with its own icon and theme color.

Notifications that actually work

This is the part people are usually most surprised by. littleFedi uses Web Push, so once you enable notifications from the settings page, you get real-time alerts for mentions, boosts, favourites, quotes, follows, follow requests, polls ending, and a few other events - each with its own icon so you can tell at a glance what happened without opening the app. Tap a notification and it takes you straight to the right place, or focuses the app if it's already open in another tab.

This works the same whether the app is in the foreground, in the background, or fully closed. The browser's service worker handles delivery even when littleFedi itself isn't running.

Why it feels fast

Static files - the JavaScript, the icons, the stylesheets - get cached on your device the first time you load the app. On every visit after that, they load instantly from local storage instead of going over the network again, and the cache quietly checks for updates in the background so you're never stuck on stale code. Your actual content - posts, notifications, everything tied to your session - always comes fresh from the server, since that's the stuff that has to be accurate and can't be cached.

If your connection drops entirely, you'll see an offline page instead of a browser error, so it's clear what's going on rather than looking broken.

No extra app needed

If you're on mobile and haven't installed littleFedi yet, this is really the way to use it day to day. It's lighter than many native apps, updates itself automatically, and you're not waiting on anyone to approve a release in an app store. Just add it to your home screen and it stays there, working like any other app on your phone.

Hi littleOne friends!

A couple of notes:

• Blog generation support needs to be enabled per user on this instance. If you're interested, let me know and I'll turn it on for you.
• Friends who have a blog now have a badge on their profile page, making the link immediately clear.
• It is now possible to send a DM to a user directly from the webui profile page.

Have a great day!

Het is tijd om wat concreter te worden met mijn plannen voor een @nrc_nl server. Nu vraag ik me af: vinden jullie het minder autonoom / soeverein en dus 'goed' als een toekomstige NRC-server niet op eigen hardware draait, maar in een (verantwoord en lokaal) datacenter? Daar neig ik nu namelijk wel naar. Laat het me weten. #NRCServer #ActivityPub #Fediverse @NRCfediverse

You want to leave the instance your account lives on. There are various reasons why you could make such a decision.

Maybe the admin made a call you disagree with or maybe the instance is shutting down.

What happens to your followers, your handle, and your posts then?

On the Fediverse, leaving is a move: followers transfer through the Move activity, your follows/lists/blocks export as CSV and JSON to re-import, and your posts stay behind (Mastodon can export an archive but can't import it into a new account). LOLA, the SWICG data-portability draft, is the effort to close that last gap.

In the ATmosphere, the four things an instance fuses together are split into separate layers, so most "switching" isn't a move at all - only relocating your data server is, and even then your DID keeps your handle and followers intact.

Neither is strictly better. They trade off identity continuity, content portability, and self-governance in different ways.
