"In #federatedsocialmedia, localisation allows users to engage with people who share common regional experiences and concerns. This alignment supports better contextual understanding of speech norms, and the amplification of #localvoices often overlooked on global platforms.
#Regionalservers can also serve as hubs for civic discourse, activism, and community support, making them vital for democratic engagement and #culturalpreservation."

"…many #publicinstitutions want to move away from Facebook and Twitter, but feel locked in. They know those platforms are toxic, yet all the people are there. But what if we stopped treating #theFediverse like a chaotic free-for-all and started showing how it can also work for structured, “responsible” #publishing? #WordPress already has millions of users. The #ActivityPubplugin is mature, maintained, and already working. All it takes is will, and a little guidance."

"Let me be crystal clear before we begin: I say all of the below with love for #thefediverse.. Deep, stubborn, open-source-loving, billionaire-eschewing love. I want the #OpenSocialWeb to win. But wanting it isn’t enough. If we want this thing to thrive we have to face the #userexperience sins head-on—and maybe even laugh at them a little along the way."

www.timothychambers.net · The Seven Deadly UX Sins of the Fediverse Web Experience (To Fix)So, confession time: I was recently helping a new client get set up on the Fediverse—guiding them through their first steps into our glorious decentralized galaxy. And seeing it all again through fresh eyes? Reader, it was brutal. So much of what should be table stakes for any social media UX in the year of our Lord 2025 still is missing or deeply broken still. I know progress has been made and a good fight, fought.

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies #theFediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

"Rossini’s video followed a keynote presentation on day 2 of #FediForum by Christine Lemmer-Webber... She made the point that the apps that came to dominate in the Web 2.0 era (such as Twitter and Meta’s Facebook) were centralized, and that #theFediverse aims to return to the peer-to-peer internet that preceded Web 2.0.
#LemmerWebber also noted that “we can’t succeed without #joy.” In other words, the web should be fun, as it was when it started in the 1990s."

"This new #payment system allows for ways to financially support artists on #theFediverse, and the levels of support resemble a hybrid of what both #Bandcamp and #Patreon offer. Not only does this feature include line items for digital media, but a new mechanism for access and distribution. Additionally, the flagship instance of Bandwagon.fm will be taking 0% of any money #musicians make."

"Federating #Ghost means publishers no longer have to choose between owning their work and reaching an audience. You post once, on your own domain, and it travels everywhere.
While centralized networks are coming apart as battles rage between the most powerful people on earth who own them, #thefediverse represents an #alternative path.
It's an answer to the question: What if nobody owned this? The same question that #TimBernersLee posed to the world, 35 years ago."

"Fediverse statistics site #FediDB, operated by PixelFed and Loops creator Daniel Supernault, now has an #onboarding tool to help people #getstarted with #thefediverse. It asks the user a few simple questions: first to select the type of content they are interested in, such as microblogging, video or forums. Based on that choice, it recommends various platforms. Based on the platform choice it asks for a few simple filters, such as region and community size, before presenting the user with a list of servers to choose from for registration."

"In this episode of the #FediverseFiles (2024), ‪‪@docpop‬ talks with @bart Decrem, the co-creator of #Mammoth, an #opensource #Mastodonapp for iOS.

Doc and Bart discuss how the #walledgardens of the present are finally getting some real competition from a better, and more open social web. A return to the original promise of the web. That anyone can find a home, their own place on the internet, and connect with whomever they want without getting trapped within a single platform thanks to open protocols like #ActivityPub and open platforms like Mastodon. Whether it’s through a newsletter, a podcast or a publisher’s website, Bart’s goal is to get a million websites and a hundred million people onto #thefediverse."

"Local community organizers are looking for alternatives to centralized #eventplatforms like Meetup.com. While some communities have moved to standalone #WordPress solutions with #eventsplugins, they miss out on the network effects and discovery features that make centralized platforms valuable.
Building upon the existing WordPress #ActivityPub #eventbridge, we’ll create a “Community Event Starter Kit” that makes it easy to host events in #theFediverse.

"So what can you do now?
For immediate participation, the best bet is to start using and supporting #theFediverse platforms that exist, even if they are still copies of the #dotcons. They work, they are functional, and they serve as a stepping stone toward something better. But don’t stop there, push beyond them. Get involved with projects that are trying to break out of these patterns. Contribute to discussions, support developers, and help to fund & create the #bridges we desperately need."

#Ghost, "used by several notable publications including Casey Newton’s Platformer, 404 Media, David Sirota’s The Lever, Tangle, Jason Calacanis’s Inside, SFist, and others… is now connected to #thefediverse.
…the company hopes to more deeply integrate users’ social web profiles with Ghost memberships, but for now, they operate independently from one another. Other coming features include tools to block, report, and mute people or add images or media to notes and replies."
