I will finish #FediHood by adding device verification and key sharing for #E2EE. Currently, if you switch from a computer to a smartphone, you only see encrypted messages.
Once it's done, I will go back to #Fedilab.

"Four states β California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey β are seeking up to $1.4 trillion in penalties and product changes under consumer protection laws that they allege were broken by Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. They say Meta also violated the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by hoovering up data about children."

... so there are a bunch of places that I know about but I can't add to the collection right now, because of the Mastodon server not being at 4.6.x yet or their settings being set to the (privacy-conscious!) defaults and excluded from Collections and discovery.
You should follow them all anyway!

Mastodon tip that I saw someone post recently: you can use the search term "in:library" to specifically search among your own posts, likes and bookmarks.

On August 8, a new batch of 60 free and open source projects was selected for the NGI Zero Commons Fund. This is the outcome of the fund's 11th round.
Here is a description of all 60 projects: https://nlnet.nl/news/2026/20260808-60-new-projects.html
On August 11, five newly selected projects were announced in the NGI Taler and NGI Fediversity pilot programs. You can find them here: https://nlnet.nl/news/2026/20260811-5-new-projects.html
We're looking forward to see the results of these important contributions to the digital commons.

When I joined Mastodon end of 2022, I had no followers and was not following anyone, it was so new, I had no idea.
There was a 'timeline'. New to me.
I saw @georgetakei posted something and that I could check the profile, and hit' Follow'. He was the first one I followed.
Suddenly, @rianvisser followed me. And I could click on 'Follow' to follow back!
@fubaroque was the third to follow me, and along with @ionica as nr 4, @Herman as nr 5, and with @Farmahond and @tjaap in these early numbers after that, I really had actual interaction. With real people!
And you're all still here! I love it.
Jaap: good work with all the electrickery πΉ
Thank you all for making me feel welcome! π
This has been a fantastic experience for me: I was way too shy for Twitter/X, and didn't like Facebook's 'look at me all shiny and fab', their screaming ads, and tracking.
You all managed to change my mind about humans, too! I really liked other animals so much better than humans back then. Okay, I still think I prefer animals but the scales have changed πΈ

Tom, the creator of @apps and @HolosSocial has started a new project:
It's called Fedihood
https://FediHood.social
It connects people by location, and topic, so you can find people near you by topic.

Quick, Bluesky is down, tell your friends about your favorite fediverse server!
Don't confuse them with techy jargon, unless they care about that stuff. Just tell them why you picked the server you're on, and that they can sign up and follow and talk to people on other servers.

I'm writing a small tool that helps you find your most liked/boosted toots or threads, from an archive of your Mastodon account!
I wanna use it in combination with https://codeberg.org/blinry/threadcat, to find popular threads to turn into blog posts.
1) What features would you like to see in a tool like this? It already supports CSV and JSON export, any other formats? What statistics would be important for you per toot/thread?
2) I'm still thinking about a good name. tootstat? topthread? bestpost?

Snowdrop is now available on iOS via TestFlight: testflight.apple.com/join/2KngGNBu
Feel free to report bugs through TestFlight's reporting system, make a GitHub issue, or reply to this post. Known issues:
- "Error: Exception in http request: Error=DomainNSURLErrorDomain..." on login screen, just ignore this
- The oauth callback may not work through certain browsers like Orion. Make sure to use Safari and it should work
- Emoji picker may not show emojis on GoToSocial
Also, it takes a while for Apple to review new builds (up to a few days), so updates aren't going to be done for every commit, only when big things are fixed or when we publish a release.
