I created a python script to turn all my mastodon feeds into rss feeds. That way i can keep up with posts!
Its working well.
Things to note:
1. Some people post hundreds of times a day. Y'all ok?
2. A once a day pull is more than enough.
3. I need to create a "best of" collection and sort by media.
Overall its been a fun experiment!
Next up, hashtags!

My favorite Mastodon app, Fedilab, is no longer on Google Play, but you can still get it from F-Droid.
You can import your old settings, too. It's easy and only takes a few minutes. I'm not an experienced F-Droid user, but everything went smoothly...
Thanks for the great work! @apps

@apps they’re screwy that way, I think I couldn’t remove apps without updating them first which is just stupid. I ended up deleting my main google account to get rid of everything and they gave me one of those “sorry you feel that way” responses

@apps@toot.fedilab.app (2026-09-05 04:08:13)
So Google refuses to delete my dev account because they suspended #UntrackMe, an app that redirects Big Tech content to alternative privacy front-ends. Seriously?
Their advice: fix the "compliance issues" first. So I guess my only option left is to rename it TrackMe and have it redirect privacy front-ends back to Big Tech instead. That should fix it.
F*** Google!

Now you can add events to your calendar in #FediHood. The map has also been redesigned to display them all, and end dates have been added.
You can also subscribe to #Lemmy communities. You will get their posts in a dedicated timeline, with the ability to reply, vote and create threads.
You can already submit communities that target an area, they will be available to people near them.

#Fedilab lets you read timelines in reverse order (most recent messages at the bottom). I know "reverse" is not the right word, and some of you called it "natural" or "normal" order.
This feature, and especially its support across Fedilab with all its specificities, was really a lot of work, mostly in fixes. But I think we now have something stable. Thanks for your patience.

#Fedilab 3.43.3 has been published! It mostly brings fixes. The custom MarkDown support no longer breaks the instance formatting. It also fixes some mentions and links not opening inside the app. The lost position when coming back should be fixed for all timelines, including #GoToSocial.

Hi everyone. Yesterday, many #snac instances had a failure in the notifications area: accessing it was impossible. I have not much information about what the problem is, but it seems it's related to a specially crafted post that makes snac hang. If this is happening to you, and you have access to snac's disk storage, you can delete manually the files inside the notify directory of your user (they are a bunch of .json files).
Whenever I finally understand what is making snac fail, I'll publish a version that mitigates this.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yes chaos.social now has the mastodon default theme. No we do not plan to keep it this way.
Upstream changed a lot again and our old themes don't build, therefore we need time to adapt our themes to the new changes.
This is a work that needs multiple hours and sucks. So you will have to wait a little.
In other news, we are now on the latest version of the 4.6.x branch. 4.7.x has big database migrations that will take hours too so we decided enough work for today. #mastoadmin
