Trying out the new “Share on Mastodon” button to share this post. Excellent to see this functionality now available as it both enables the more rapid sharing of links… and the presence also promotes the use of #Mastodon and the #Fediverse.

A new Share button
We'd like to help you to Share to Mastodon, with a new tool.

The current #Mastodon #UX: I see dozens of toast messages "Oops! An unexpected error occurred." - like, all the time, anyway. It goes so far that I can't even see what I'm typing.

It's really fun how you can easily vibecode apps using Mastodon's APIs to analyse, summarize your timeline, lists etcetera For personal use i made an app to summarize the last 48 hours of posts in a specific Mastodonlist. Really useful/timesaver.
#vibecoding #mastodon

Es gibt ja immer noch sehr viele Leute, die hier einfach irgendwelche Links posten - ohne Überschrift, ohne Kontext, teils völlig kryptische Buchstabenfolgen die noch nicht mal im Ansatz Hinweise auf das Linkziel oder das Thema geben.
Welche Erwartungshaltung besteht da? Ich jedenfalls werde niemals auf so einen Link klicken oder sowas teilen.

FYI: If your #Mastodon #domainverification doesn't work, check if you do have upper case letters in your URL as this won't work as of this #bug report from 2022:

Uff. Dieses #mastodon wird noch richtig Arbeit.
Merke: poste keine longthreads, keine Predigten und nichts zur Energiepolitik wenn du in Ruhe frühstücken willst.
In dieser Reihenfolge.

Sad for all those accounts on #MedMastodon after the server disappeared. I hope this make it even more clear that #mastodon needs way to let users own the data and allow it to be easily ported between servers.
People don't feel safe on small servers or often don't understand…

Before I was on #Mastodon I thought most of the web and social media was in English. Clearly you knew it wasn't like that all. The ease of translating a post on the fly is a revelation / revolution. Thank you #translation

I recently had a PHP problem I was struggling with. Instead of using AI, I asked #mastodon.
I got a great answer and they kept helping as I continued to struggle.
In the end I learned and the community helped.
That’s the way it should be.

If you use an Android phone, which Mastodon client do you use? I currently use Moshidon after trying all the ones I could find a while ago but I'm wondering if I should experiment a bit more.

Ich wünsche mir, dass Posts mit Zitaten auf #Mastodon erst veröffentlicht werden, wenn das Zitat angezeigt werden kann.
Sonst fehlt der Kontext und bis der dann erkennbar ist, sind die Posts in der Irrelevanz nach unten durchgesackt.

#Mastodon needs a few tweaks to its notifications.
As stuff is working now, we get notified of replies, but only if our handle is included in the replies. However, not all instances/apps include the handle in the reply.

I love love LOVE Mastodon's short-term (24-hour) auto-expiring mute functionally. On days like these, when some people understandably are shouting about things that are very important to them, it means I can easily keep my timeline fairly unstressful without having to go around unfollowing or perma-muting folk.

I might offend some folks with this poll… but I think it's kind of the elephant in the room, my friends.
Q: Is the biggest problem with #Mastodon in general actually the moderation of its biggest instance: mastodon.social?
This is not directed at anyone personally, rather, it's directed at a toxic culture that I see innocent people/victims posting about over and over again.

Shit.
I got the bug thing again and now I can't use #Mastodon on the web. Refreshing does nothing.
There's a link to copy stuff to the clipboard and the stuff copied says "TypeError: can't access property "pending_requests_count", i.summary is undefined".
Most annoyingly, this happened while I was writing a post, which got lost.

Auf kleineren Instanzen versuchen sich immer wieder irgendwelche Marketingfuzzis einzunisten, die dann von dort versuchen ihren Müll zu verbreiten. Erst sind sie auf größeren Instanzen unterwegs, werden dort vermutlich gesperrt und probieren es dann weiter. Erlebt ihr das eigentlich auch?

It’s about this time of year I like to check my backups and download my archives.
One archive I download is the archive of my Mastodon posts. Pretty much the only one now I’ve left the corporate web really.
I also like to copy the contents of my public fediverse posts into my own diary within my vimwiki.
Keep it all in one place for easy and local search.
Here’s the script I use, it’s very short and just copies the content of every post in the archive into a new diary entry in the vimwiki diary.
If it finds something already there, it appends.
It checks if it’s already written this post into the diary to avoid duplicating it when you run it over and every again every month or year or whatever.
Paste it into a new text-file called toVimWiki.php, download and unzip your mastodon archive, and run the script with php, passing it the path to the archive’s outbox.json and the root diary directory.
My diary is honestly mostly just public posts these days. Ain’t much in it I won’t blab about on the internet for likes and lols.

I'm grateful to #Mastodon for still attracting interesting people. I have the chance to regularly interact with those who are genuinely interested in two-way conversations. Unfortunately, nowadays, too many people engage with others not to foster meaningful connections, but to seek validation and self-recognition. A big thank YOU.

Third time I got one of these:
"Due to a bug in our code or a browser compatibility issue, this page could not be displayed correctly.
Try refreshing the page. If that does not help, you may still be able to use #Mastodon through a different browser or native app."
One reloads and it works, but this didn't use to happen at all.

When i don't have time to read all the posts in a Mastodon list, i now use a Gemini App (made in Google AI Studio) to quickly make a summary and overview of the highlights, shared links etc.
Mastodon lists are a great way to organize your Mastodonfeed by the way.

In the past few weeks there has been a bot farm hammering small Mastodon instances with requests for what looks like emoji-related assets and the hashtag API.
More specifically, it appears this bot farm has now come for my Mastodon instance, because the number of requests has doubled in the last 24 hours, with a lot of the requests being API requests for a single JSON file.
Even more specifically, looking at data provided by my CDN provider, a lot of the bots appear to be using IP addresses associated with Tencent Singapore.

I wouldn't be asking the question if I didn't believe the question needed to be answered, so I believe an answer of 'yes’ is justified.
I see so many people saying that they leave because they get harassed off of the platform... by reply guys... or sexual harassers... or people who just believe Mastodon can only have a certain kind of content, or person… regardless of its mission as part of an open/free alternative to corporate social media.
A lot of it just seems like bad behaviour by what might be a small number of those 300,000 monthly users (let alone the 3 million accounts in total on that server).
I don't know if "more moderation" is the answer, but that's kind of the only lens I am seeing right now.

Good Morning #Canada
And #HappyNewYear. I have a suggestion for a #NewYearsResolution2026 that I hope you can participate in. At the very least, please boost the crap out of the idea, steal it and use it as your own or promote the hashtag at every opportunity.
During a random conversation with @crispius a few days ago, we sparked an idea on how to get people off of toxic tech bro social media and onto #Mastodon. What if all Mastodonians agree to convert at least one person into a Mastodon user in 2026. This could include supporting them to make them an active and loyal user. Help them find accounts to follow, finding their personal community, building relationships with followers, etc. It's a grassroots strategy for getting people to move to this platform.
We could use the hashtag #BringAFriendToMastodon to share ideas, strategies, or success. Perhaps ask your admin for help spreading the idea (shout out to @…). Maybe @… can assist in promoting this as well.

A Professor at Toronto Metropolitan University:
“The Government of Canada could easily decide that it was going to use LinkedIn or Instagram or wherever it posts, and journalists would switch to following them there because they want to access what they’re saying,” he continued. “There was zero audience for Truth Social when
Trump created and started using it, but the audience went to the politician. Carney and his government could take a principled position by leaving X and its horrible spawn, Grok, and his audience of journalists and politicos would go with them.”
“Apparently, our political leaders simply choose not to.”
