Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeAssistant
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe home assistant bot.
Mention it in your homeassisitant posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the #homeasistant posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
There’s also @… - follow that and it will automatically boost everything you post with #homeassistant without you having to remember to mention the bot.
For those who don’t know, these bots exist because when you look for a a hashtag, your server only checks the posts that have been federated to it.
In order for a message to be federated to your server, the author (or one of the people boosting it) have to be followed by someone on your server. If no one touching the message is being followed, it’ll never get federated to your server and you won’t see it.
Hashtags are great for finding messages, but only messages that were federated to your server. They don’t help message propagation, but these bots will.

Bright Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn: A Cloud-Scale Star Formation Model Unifying Variable SFE, IMFs, and Stochasticity
Elie Cueto, Anne Hutter
https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.18868 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2607.18868 https://arxiv.org/html/2607.18868
arXiv:2607.18868v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: To investigate the origins of the high abundance of UV-bright galaxies at z > 10, we present a new semi-analytic model that bridges the gap between small-scale star formation physics and large-scale galaxy evolution by explicitly tracking discrete star-forming clouds within smoothly evolving dark matter potentials. Unlike conventional semi-analytic models, our approach naturally captures the stochasticity of star formation, allowing us to isolate how cloud properties, star formation efficiencies (SFEs), and stellar initial mass functions (IMFs) shape the star-formation burstiness of early galaxies. Clouds are drawn sequentially from a cloud mass distribution, assigned an SFE and IMF depending on cloud mass, metallicity, and redshift, and evolve under the influence of short-timescale stellar feedback. We identify three distinct star formation regimes arising from the interplay between cloud masses, densities, and feedback timescales: a stochastic, feedback-limited regime in low-mass halos with long quiescent phases; a bursty regime regulated by the cloud mass distribution; and a smooth, continuous regime in massive halos. Our fiducial model adopts a dynamic IMF, an SFE linked to cloud properties and the IMF, and massive, moderately dense clouds. Varying assumptions reveals that top-heavy IMFs and enhanced SFEs in massive clouds amplify burstiness, while altering the upper cloud mass or density normalisation is secondary. Among model ingredients, the IMF most strongly impacts the UV luminosity function (LF), while switching to a constant SFE boosts the faint end, and reducing the maximum cloud mass decreases the bright end. These results demonstrate that cloud-scale physics critically shape early galaxy UV luminosity distributions.

As long as Mastodon does UI stuff like this it won't be going broad appeal or mainstream.
(This specific message happens when you "bump" a post, i.e. remove existing boost and then immediately boost again, and you do it "too fast").
1. It should be called "reboost" in the message because the feature is called "boosting".
2. No one cares about the HTTP status code, it's just confusing to people who aren't devleopers.
3. The message shouldn't happen at all, i.e. the boost button must remain grayed out or unavailable while the post is considered boosted already (for example there could be a little indeterminate progress spinner to acknowledge you unboosted but while its not really unboosted).
4. The message should probably be shown where the error happens, if you have a big monitor you might miss it because it's n the screen corner.
5. The message should probably not just go away by itself before you had a chance to read it.
6. If you absolutely have to have errors like this (could be because user is on a stale page that shows the post as not boosted when it actually is), make the message more helpful (for example suggest to reload the page to see the latest).
7. Reboosting existing boosts is a relatively common usage pattern—possibly make it a feature and give the user extra information (like idk a warning about "You already reboosted this twice in the last week, are you sure you want to pester your followers again?")
This is of course only a small detail, but these UX issues quickly add up.

Hey Fedi! I will be in Malloca for a few days very soon. In particular in Pollencia, but I'll have a car and the island isn't big.
I hope to spend most of it writing in an air conditioned hotel room or reading by a pool or on the beach and there's a boat trip planned.
But I should also try and talk to people and explore what the island has to offer I guess?
Anyone local wanna meet for dinner or drinks? Any events in the first half of this month worth checking out? Or anyone ever been there and wanna suggest something particularly fun or educational or meaningful they enjoyed?
What's the oldest thing on the island? What's the coolest? Where are the best bands? Shall we organize a Fedi Meetup?

LEAVING META
WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR LIFE 💎
After my posting about Meta over the past two days, one thing became very clear.
A lot of people would LIKE to leave Facebook, Instagram, or both. But parts of their actual lives are all tangled up in them.
So don’t make leaving a purity test. Start somewhere. Remove Facebook from your phone and use it only on your laptop, or better still, only on your desktop when you genuinely need it.
STOP POSTING TO META. STOP FEEDING THE TIMELINE.
Move conversations with real friends to your email, text, Signal, phone calls, Mastodon account, or wherever works for you, away from Meta.
TELL PEOPLE WHERE ELSE THEY CAN EASILY FIND YOU.
If you run a business, start putting your email address and/or website URL everywhere you promote your business so Facebook is not your only front door.
Download anything you actually want to keep. Then, when you’re ready, deactivate or delete what you no longer need.
Maybe you keep Messenger for Aunt Doris. Maybe you keep Instagram because your local café apparently believes websites were abolished in 2014.
Fine.
The point isn’t ideological cleanliness.
THE POINT IS REDUCING YOUR DEPENDENCE.
Every conversation you move elsewhere is one conversation Meta no longer owns the doorway to.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ESCAPE THE META CAGE IN ONE HEROIC LEAP.
Just start opening the door.
