Remember "ephemeral" toots (posts automatically deleted later)? Not sure if this feature will find its way into the main Mastodon codebase. Did you know #Hubzilla has had it for a while now: posts and messages may be created with an expiration date. There are also encrypted comments (secured with a passphrase). Handy!

diaspora* community members Gibberish.org created an #XMPP chat room for newcomers to the Federation to talk, ask questions, and get to know one another. Join it if you have questions about #diaspora or are looking for people to connect with 👇

Anyone subscribed to Fediverse website via RSS may get extra copies of posts.
I messed up the updates a bit. Sorry about that. 🐾

If you know someone fluent in #Python or #VueJS or those who want to learn, please, invite them to join and help improve The-Federation.Info stats: https://github.com/thefederationinfo/the-federation.info/issues

Will be great if it starts crawling all existing nodes, for more relevant data.

@lain Hi! Is there somewhere a list of avaliable clients for Pleroma? Something like this: https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Using-Mastodon/Apps.md or this https://gitlab.com/distributopia/gnusocial-clients ?

It would probably be useful to add such a list to pleroma.social. Would someone from #Pleroma team like to create one? I can also do it, however would be best if someone actively using Pleroma maintains it :)

#Friendica has a themed instance

Please, more personalized servers. It's just some friendly description, personalized background. But for users it may mean more than that. It’s the #community they choose.

The discussion about securing direct messages in macroblogging Fediverse networks was short. Clearly, the negative outcome is not technical challenges (which I hoped to discuss) but the unanimous opinion federated networks were not designed for this. Regretting. But with due respect.

From now on, this account will broadcast only news related to Fediverse networks. In case it goes silent, updates will still be pushed to the website and RSS feed.

Can anyone recommend an ok-ish #RSS reader for Linux (non-web)? It's time I switched to something better. Ideally, with an opportunity to favourite posts.

Distribution of nodes and users per platform (according to the-federation.info stats, which started to count all Fediverse networks).

https://socialhome.network/content/1570586/daily-statistics-from-the-federation-g

#Mastodon is in the lead (47.8% nodes / 87.6% users)
#diaspora comes in second (9.9% nodes / 11.1% users)

Numbers are still an approximation.
