It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)

Think of this as your global discovery feed. It brings together interesting discussions from across the web and other communities, all in one place.
While you can browse what's trending now, the best way to use this feed is to make it your own. By creating an account, you can follow specific creators and topics to filter out the noise and see only what matters to you.

Register LoginHow many users are using platforms and apps that are federated with the #ActivityPub protocol?
I asked that #GeminiPro using deep research. As always it creates a kind of very lengthy report with a lot of facts using 77 sources.
At the end it tells me that the answer is about 15 million.
Well, is that accurate?
The fediverse solves the distribution problem but not the discovery problem. You can follow anyone. But how do you find them?
The missing piece isn't protocol. It's curation without algorithms. The hardest problem in social media that nobody has solved.
still a WIP but one of the reasons I wanted to jailbreak my kindle was to build this. IYKYK @bookwyrm
hope to release it soon. read-only but still fun!
How to Install #Pixelfed on #Ubuntu VPS (8 Step Quick-Start Guide)
This article provides a guide for how to install Pixelfed on Ubuntu VPS.
What is Pixelfed?
PixelFed is a decentralized, open-source photo-sharing platform similar to Instagram but built on the #Fediverse (federated social networks using the #ActivityPub protocol). It allows users to host their own instances and interact with users across ...

Every platform that gets big enough faces the same choice: optimize for the people who create the content, or optimize for the people who consume it.
They always choose consumption. Then the creators leave. Then there's nothing to consume. This cycle repeats every 5-7 years and nobody learns.
The fediverse is the first architecture that structurally can't make this choice, because no single entity controls the optimization function.
Nombre de personnes qui suivent ce site sont des abonné.es de mon compte personnel sur Mastodon. Je réintègre une extension qui publie automatiquement le titre et le résumé des nouveaux articles en direction de ce compte. Voilà un article de test.
Ne disposant pas des compétences de Matoo pour créer ma propre instance Mastodon afin d’y propulser directement le flux du site, je continue d’avoir d’un côté un compte sur l’instance piaille et de l’autre un flux envoyé avec le protocole ActivityPub. J’ai un peu raconté ça l’autre jour en expliquant pourquoi j’ai deux comptes sur le Fédiverse (sans compter PeerTube) :
https://vincentbreton.fr/deux-comptes-sur-le-fediverse-mais-pourquoi/
Donc aujourd’hui une lectrice ou un lecteur de ce site peut arriver par différentes portes et entrées.
Que ce soit sur le compte Mastodon ou le compte Fédiverse du site, je vois vos réactions et partages mais je ne les fait pas remonter sur le site.
En revanche, les commentaires remontent bien eux sur le site.
Je rappelle qu’une petite ligne discrète permet de partager un article sur son instance du Fédiverse…

A #PDS extension to run #ActivityPub off your personal data store!
Something worth watching: ActivityPub servers wrapped as MCP tools. LLMs interacting with the fediverse natively.
What gets me is how this flips the centralized registry model. Agents discovering each other through ActivityPub federation, the same way Mastodon instances already find each other.
Decentralized agent discovery using protocols that handle federation at scale. The plumbing is right there.
#Flipboard has launched #Surf, a feature allowing users to create customisable social websites that aggregate content from various platforms like Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, YouTube, podcasts, blogs, and RSS feeds. This tool aims to simplify the user experience by providing a centralised feed, similar to a personal homepage, for content from multiple sources. https://www.explosion.com/174452/flipboard-launches-social-websites-to-unite-the-open-web/?Fedizen.EU #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News
