Ha! First time I pushed the Assign button on my flohmarkt for the first article finally sold (out). All people interested in the #deskhop pcb and parts received a message that I sold them all.

I hope that the #flohmarkt #fediverse will grow until there are enough people to exchange goods and services locally and generally quickly find the things I'm looking for or find someone interested in the stuff I do not want anymore, but that might be of value for someone else.

Maybe the upcoming #yunohost integration will enable some more people to run an instance of their own.

The Fediverse isn't just sharing links to other platforms, it goes a lot deeper than that. Fediverse discussions and interactions happen across multiple platforms. This happens so seamlessly, you may not even realise it is happening.

For example, I replied to a PeerTube account's post from Mastodon, and my reply appeared on PeerTube (see screenshots).

The significance of the recent #Ghost announcement is people on Mastodon etc will be able to interact seamlessly with Ghost blogs.

spannend wird die Auswahl der Shorts der einzelnen Parteien sein, mit denen dann das #Fediverse aus #YouTube, #TikTok, #xtwitter usw. geflutet wird.

Sehr gerne! 🙂

Viele im Fediverse 🌻 freuen sich über die Mitwirkung der Hochschulen aufgrund ihrer hohen Expertise im IT-Bereich und auf anderen Gebieten. In unserem Appell an die #Hochschulrektorenkonferenz (#HRK) heisst es:
„Mit der Unterstützung beim Ausbau von #Fediverse-Diensten wie #Mastodon können die Hochschulen einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Stärkung unserer #Demokratie und zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft leisten.“

The third party Android app Fedilab (which lets you use Mastodon, PeerTube, Pixelfed, Friendica etc) is now free on Google Play, and continues to be free on F-Droid too. If you haven't tried it yet, this might be a good time:

➡️ play.google.com/store/apps/det…

➡️ f-droid.org/en/packages/fr.gou…

(It was previously paid on Google Play and free on F-Droid.)

There's a review of the app on the fedi.tips website:

We've created another image for our campaign.

Share it where you can to help #universities make more use of the #Fediverse 🌻 and say goodbye to #X / #Twitter - just like many others already did.

Just had an account designed to boost toots into Threads.net boost one of my toots.

I have #nobridge in my profile; and was pretty sure my insance blocks #Threads. This is hostile no?

Edit:

Appears to be threadsrelay@sekretaerbaer.de

I reported it, but also tagging @mods

Appears to be a #Friendica instance.

Episode 227:A tutorial on Mona for Mastodon, the most powerful, accessible way to do Mastodon on your iPhone, iPad and Mac

This special episode is devoted to Mona, a Mastodon app for iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. It has exceptional VoiceOver accessibility, and during its development, the developer has consulted extensively with the blind community.

PeerTube is the Fediverse's video platform. You can follow and interact with PeerTube accounts entirely within Mastodon if you prefer, or you can sign up on a PeerTube server if you want.

I run a website to help people explore and use PeerTube:

➡️ fedi.video

The website also has an account boosting interesting PeerTube videos at:

➡️ @FediVideo

There is a long thread full of nice PeerTube accounts to follow at:

When it comes to #tracking users, the focus is often on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, etc.

The European data protection group noyb @noybeu filed a complaint against #X / #Twitter last year for violating the #GDPR:
👉 noyb.eu/en/gdpr-complaint-agai…

As determined by noyb, the company collects sensitive data such as political views and religious beliefs by monitoring clicks, likes and responses to posts on its own platform.
Felix Mikolasch, data protection lawyer at noyb: “After we filed our first complaint in this matter, the EU Commission has already confirmed to stop advertising on X. However, to put an end to this in general, we need enforcement against X as a platform used by many others.”

In our petition
👉 openpetition.de/Unis4Mastodon
we pointed out the #DataProtection problems with the major platforms and thus recommend the use of #Fediverse services at #universities.

A few questions about your #fediverse experience and a brief Q & A about how things are going so far, if I may:

¹ How has administration of your #fediverse instance served you so far?

² Have you felt that the investment has been worth the overhead so far owning your own data and providing your reporters 1:1 interactions with the public when you own the server platform for applying your rules and values as a applied to the #fediverse?

³ How has this experience differed from other Social Media platforms that you have zero control over vs. the #fediverse ?

⁴ Do you see #interoperability tests with other decentralized networks as a future engagement point in your roadmap & also as a valuable data point to compare with other centralized zero control by you platforms currently?

Thanks! Answer at your leisure. I have no deadline for anything.

Cheers!
