linuxusers.in is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Now that Tapestry is finally an App Store reality, join us for a sneak peek into what went on behind the scenes of our successful product launch as well as some exciting news about what lies ahead. #TapestryApp #Fediverse #OpenWeb

So, basically the platform you stopped to use increased the incoming traffic and even makes the half of the "Mastodon" traffic in the last days? Doesn't this show how important this source is and how much potential there still is?
Next, I'm wondering why "Mastodon" is defined as "Mastodon". #Mastodon is one of multiple solutions in the #Fediverse and I'm more than pretty sure that many people are not using Mastodon, rather than #snac / #snac2, #GoToSocial,... It's like setting "Internet Explorer" as a synonym for browsers.
Hello #Fediverse, I need y’all’s help. I am looking for good English language news profiles that are non-US based that cover US news.
I am looking for news sources that are ideally more objective/less bias than US based news sources.
Also, if you know of any good #meme accounts, holler at your boy.
Three weeks ago we were getting ready to go to #FOSDEM. We didn’t realise just how good the experience would be.
Now we’re energised, excited, and getting started on a whole range of ideas that came out of the event. More on that soon 👀
For now, enjoy this little snapshot of Brussels and our @fosdem experience.
Huge thank you to @_elena for getting a photo of the team 📸

Good morning, friends of the #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse
While managing some usual IT problems, I'm relaxing my mind and soul with some good music.

Need a list of welcoming #fediverse #servers that are not based on US soil. If anyone has that. Thinking it might be important moving forward.
The Fediverse is more than just Mastodon!
PeerTube is the Fediverse's video platform, sort of an alternative to YouTube. You can follow and interact with PeerTube accounts from Mastodon etc and when a PeerTube account publishes a video it appears in your Mastodon timeline. If you reply to a PeerTube video it appears as a comment, favourites become likes, follows are subscriptions etc.
You can find out lots more about PeerTube at:
➡️ https://fedi.tips/peertube-video-hosting-on-the-fediverse
Would you awesome people send me your lists of preferred #fediverse users please? I am a #STEM, #Arts and #music girlie; please send me any favorites you have.
Also, is #BlackMastodon a thing? #BlackFediverse might be better. Let’s go and see.
Heads-up: I updated my #Fediverse stock photo, adding #Friendica (since there have been so many discussions about it as an alternative to Facebook). Here we go: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Fediverse_smartphone_apps_%28photo_by_Elena_Rossini%29.jpg
A routine reminder that this is to illustrate articles about the Fediverse and it shows popular software as alternatives to Big Tech platforms.
special thanks to:
@matt who touched up my screenshot to improve the appearance of Friendica & Lemmy
@nacly who told me that Wikimedia Commons supports versioning
Absolutely loving my Social Media life these days.
As I say to many, your mileage may differ. I think it all comes down to who you chose to engage with, and the topics you reply to.
We all have the choice to be on certain services and not on others. We should all abide and respect the choices others make in this regard.
My main Social Media area these days is the Fediverse, particularly through a GoToSocial ActivityPub instance named Polymaths.social. Wonderful software, instance, admin, and neighbours!
Since 2009 I was on a Mastodon instance named LinuxRocks.online. It started off really well with good chats on the local timeline. However, over the past year certain people and their followers came in, the local chats got strained, and quite painful at times, and I knew I needed to move on. I was friendly with the owner, and moderators, but the time had come.
To access Polymaths.social I use Phanpy on a browser, and Tusky on my Android Phone.
For browser access I did use Semaphore for a while. Very clean and effective, but Phanpy is like KDE vs Mate. To me this is a good thing. I do use Semaphore at times to check on Follow Requests and to currently "Delete and Redraft" as needed.
Telegram is a large part of my life. I use it to talk with many friends, including Arianna and my Sister Catriona, podcrawl and Linux groups, as well as my own Christian group.
I'm still on Facebook, and yes I question that daily.
For now I am there.
As I said at the start, this is my choice, and I am there for really good friends, family, and groups.
A few weeks ago I activated my Instagram account, which had been set up for no follows and privates, just so I could view content as needed.
I was getting so many requests from good friends if I was on there, and ok... "caved in", but my involvement is relatively minimal. Mostly posting my own photos and commenting on those of friends.
Well, that's my online life, and it is good.
Feel free to reply back with questions, and DM as needed.

Elena its great! Btw, I also enjoyed your blog post about why and how you created this #Fediverse photo. We need more photo material for communications.
So inspiring 🤗 Thanks for your work and commitment.
Question: do I update my #Fediverse stock photo with this screenshot (it has the shortcut to #Friendica too)?
Disclaimer: Friendica & #Lemmy do not have official apps, so these are iOS shortcuts to URLs (of instances).
A reminder that this stock photo is for articles about the Fediverse, so it’s the most vanilla, KISS (Keep It Simple) version imaginable for people not familiar with the Fediverse. My *real* Fediverse folder has Ivory, Mona, Phanpy, Surf and Voyager.
Let me know your thoughts!
The #Fediverse is free, free of censorship, federated and full of great content!
Also the Fediverse - instance admins randomly blocking whole instances just because a single user feels offended of a post by a single instance user. Blocking whole instances is just a finger snip away, censoring unwanted content and parenting users of instances. Defederating just because of… ok no clue :) Using content warner for any possible content just to annoy or aeemmm make it more interesting to other users. Thanks, I’m old enough :) Seeing all the spam because it’s just a thing of 5 minutes automation to create randomly new instances on different domains (or subdomains from dynamic-ip hosters) and to fill the network with automated content.
Sometimes, pros can easily switch into cons… luckily more and more single user instances are raising up for exactly this reasons and can still easily federate by using relays…

@_elena i have absolutely no idea about film-making but isn't it possible to hire some professional to do the talking? I'm sure the #Fediverse will gladly chip in some $ for this (and other expenses of this project).
#EleFediVideos update 🎬
Yesterday I had a eureka moment and realized that, for my Fediverse video to be impactful, it needs to have a real person on screen carrying the message. Who? Me - I guess 😱
I've been making videos for AGES and I always happily avoided appearing on screen. I LOVE my privacy. I shudder at the thought of having to sit down, look at my face on screen & hear my recorded voice over and over.
But #Fediverse I love you and I'm willing to take one for the team.
Let's go 🙈
And it’s a wrap for my first #FOSDEM - which was glorious.
It was incredibly inspiring and energizing to hang out and exchange ideas with so many Fediverse champions.
I’m also super grateful for the words of encouragement and nice feedback re: my series #TheFutureIsFederated.
This community is amazing ❤️
Onwards and upwards #Fediverse! 🚀
Good morning, friends of #BSDCafe and the entire #Fediverse.
Sunday begins wrapped in the silence of the mist, a prelude to a bright day.
