If you're on littleFedi, do you know how to stop a feed from auto-updating? It's driving me nuts. I'm trying to read a post and it disappears because multiple new posts shove it down. Is there something in the settings that I'm missing?
I should add that littleFedi isn't Mastodon so I don't have that setting under Appearance.

This is the first genuinely operational littleFedi instance.
It has been online since 1st July, is single-user (just me), and runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered by NetBSD, directly on its SD card.
It consumes just under 1W.
Its database is this size:
-rw------- 1 little wheel 109289472 Aug 26 15:14 littlefedi.db
That is, just a little over 100 MB. Yes, MB.
Its average CPU load is extremely low.
It is perfectly usable both from the web interface and from Mastodon API apps.
I have 179 followers and 169 followings, and it doesn't bat an eye.
I promise myself to use it more, and I will.
You don't need Big Tech to communicate with others.
You don't need an expensive data center to exist online.
Because we are people, and the bits are just extensions of our voice.
EDIT: littleFedi allows to transform posts into blog posts, having its own SSG (Static Site Generator). The one generated by this post is reachable by clicking here.

I have been on the Fediverse since 2017, and I am impressed by how it has evolved, with all the amazing projects around where everyone can find their safe place.
We will never agree on everything, but I really think we hold something that can't be taken back. The power to users.
Now that I work directly on ActivityPub projects, I really see how free we are.

There are now more than 700 users on #FediHood, and I've added new topics.
You can tailor your timeline in three ways:
- The distance from your city
- The topics you want to see
- The languages
Topics are more powerful than hashtags (in the context of the project) because:
- They avoid typos
- They work whatever the language
- One mute covers everything, unlike hashtag variants
It also fully supports the #ActivityPub Events used by #Mobilizon.

I started working on private groups in Mitra. Beginning with version 5.10.0, you can follow private communities on Lemmy 1.0 beta (test instance: https://voyager.lemmy.ml/), post to them and leave comments on posts.
Local private groups are not supported yet, but I hope to finish this part soon.
I will also try to make Mitra at least partially compatible with Shoot - an instant messenger built on ActivityPub that has private groupchats based on FEP-1b12.

Hollo security updates: 0.8.11 and 0.9.14
If you run Hollo, update to a current patched release now. Fedify has disclosed two vulnerabilities, one of which affects Hollo: CVE-2026-77632, a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Fedify's authenticated document loader.
Hollo relies on the authenticated document loader when it fetches remote documents such as actors and public keys with a signed HTTP request. Affected Fedify versions checked that the initial URL resolved to a public network destination, but did not apply the same check when that URL returned an HTTP redirect. An attacker who controlled the public URL could therefore redirect the signed request to a loopback address, a link-local cloud metadata service, or an RFC 1918 private address.
An unauthenticated attacker could reach this path by sending an inbox request with a signature whose keyId points to an attacker-controlled public URL. Fedify has to fetch the key before it can verify the signature, so even a bogus signature is enough to trigger the request. The demonstrated attack is blind SSRF: the internal response is consumed while resolving the remote document and is not automatically returned to the attacker.
The fix validates every redirect target before fetching it. Hollo's existing ALLOW_PRIVATE_ADDRESS option still permits private destinations when an operator explicitly opts in, such as for a closed federation or test environment.
The other disclosed vulnerability, CVE-2026-69132, concerns unbounded circuit-breaker state in Fedify 2.3.0 through 2.3.4. Hollo's supported 0.8.x and 0.9.x release lines use Fedify 2.1.x and 2.2.x respectively, so this issue does not affect them.
For full technical details, see the Fedify security advisories for CVE-2026-77632 and CVE-2026-69132, and the Fedify security announcement.
All Hollo versions in the supported 0.8.x and 0.9.x release lines up to and including 0.8.9 and 0.9.12 are affected by CVE-2026-77632. The fix first appea

Subject: More on Nicolium
For: #selfhosting and/or #Fediverse power users
I've tested and tweaked #Nicolium, a front end for Pleroma and other Fediverse back ends. With the tweaks in place, it works well for me. I'll share some of them in patch form at a later date.
Features include hashtag follow, emoji reactions, borders on focused posts, Markdown, WYSIWYG editor, real-time chat, draft posts, URL cleaning, direct messages, enhanced interaction policies, theme editor with export support, image ALT-text button, profile avatars inline next to mentions, and different ways to handle load or display of new posts.
There is also a multi-column Deck feature, but that is more of a work in progress.
The attached screenshot shows what my tweaked Nicolium presently looks like. The panel at the top is one of the tweaks. I added it to hold link buttons for different purposes.
To see a larger copy, in Chromium or Firefox derivatives, left-click on the image. To see a full-size copy, right-click on the image, select Open in New Window, and resize the new window.
Trick for advanced users:
The screenshot shows a /tags/ URL in the location bar. FYI The combination of Pleroma [as back end] and Soapbox or Nicolium [as front end] displays URLs of this type in response to hashtag operations, but the URLs don't work if you reuse them.
If you encounter this issue, URLs of this type can be made to work by adding the following location block before other location blocks in your "nginx" or "angie" server ".conf" file:
location ~ ^/tags/(.*)$ {
return 301 /tag/$1;
}

Nights like tonight where I won't get home now for another 2 or so hours and probably won't be doing a lot of my main consulting work tomorrow has a pretty significant impact on my own finances.
