We have a light, dark and a AMOLED theme. Which one do you prefer?

Reply to @apps@toot.fedilab.app fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe (2026-09-13 06:58:44) @apps I think it has potential, especially with events, but regardless, it's nice to see these experimental platforms, it can provide useful ideas that can be incorporated in the mainstream ones.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @apps@toot.fedilab.app (2026-09-13 06:25:55) I would like to share my experience of building #FediHood.
While I still think that building timelines around you is an interesting enhancement for the #Fediverse, I think I was wrong about the way I did it.
Many people are interested, but not enough to create another account just for that feature. They want it with their current account.
I am happy to see #Pixelfed implementing it, and that is the way it should be done.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @apps@toot.fedilab.app (2026-09-13 05:39:28) Next week will be dedicated to #Fedilab, with the release of 3.44.0. The goal is to fix the issues flagged as high priority, especially those that are also enhancements. Then I will start adding support for #FediHood.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @HailsandAles@metalhead.club (2026-09-13 01:51:01) Saw a couple blog posts the last few days from people saying they’re not using Mastodon anymore because Mastodon users hate everything. My timeline is full of music, art, hobbies and joy. There’s no algorithm. Curate a better timeline you rubes

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @vernissage@mastodon.social (2026-09-12 14:38:44) A lot of new people have joined #Vernissage recently - which is wonderful to see! ❤️ But I haven’t noticed many new patrons.

If you enjoy the platform, please consider supporting it on Patreon. Nothing online is truly free: Big Tech pays the bills with ads, addictive algorithms and your privacy. #Vernissage has none of that - but hosting still costs money.

I’ve also added new Patreon tiers for anyone who’d like to support the project even more. Thank you so much! 😊

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @pixelfed@mastodon.social (2026-09-11 20:01:50) Pixelfed v0.12.10 is now available 🔥

The release doesn't list all the changes, we ran out of space, refer to the changelog for the full list of changes 😎

https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/releases/tag/v0.12.10

#pixelfed

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @apps@toot.fedilab.app (2026-09-12 02:05:32) #Fedle received several fixes.
- Spanish now treats Ñ as its own letter, and its dictionary has been improved.
- It also fixes federation issues for #Misskey and #Sharkey.
- Announcements and results now have a dedicated tag per language, like #Fedle_es, #Fedle_en etc.

#Fedle is a daily word game on the #Fediverse.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @apps@toot.fedilab.app (2026-09-12 05:41:18) RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/117246306213045632

I swore not to speak about #FediHood any more, but what #Pixelfed is doing is great news for #ActivityPub.
Pixelfed already sends the location as a Place object with latitude and longitude, so FediHood can read it and put markers on a map.
Local timelines used to mean one instance. Now they can mean people actually around you.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @apps@toot.fedilab.app (2026-09-12 05:00:56) Leaving Google is really a matter of patience. They first told me it was not possible because of UntrackMe, which has been suspended.
Then they asked me to open one ticket per app for GDPR compliance:
- an old version of Fedilab they removed
- a Mobilizon app
- TubeLab
- Fedilab (current version)
And the suspended one, because I can't delete them myself.
They first replied that it needed further investigation, then that I should not open so many tickets while they had asked me to 🤪

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @julian@fietkau.social (2026-09-12 03:56:00) Had a pretty calm day 1 of Berlin #FediDay, got to meet @lavaeolus, @mkljczk, @liaizon, @_elena and @tommi and probably some people I've forgotten. 🙂

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @xChaos@f.cz (2026-09-11 22:04:10) We just received about 60 (?) fake account registrations - this time not even trying to pretend any identities, just kind of DDoS.

What it interesting, that this time, they did not use known #TOR exit nodes and the IPs are not known by existing blacklists. Instead, the attack seemed to came from pool of IP addresses owned by Japanese companies and from Japanese mailservers...

We need to figure identity of operators of this botnet. Let's setup some place to share the IP addresses used by botnet. If we want to keep #Fediverse and #Mastodon registration open, we must federate our blocklists too...

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @fediforum@mastodon.social (2026-09-12 00:35:18) Looking at registrations so far for the upcoming FediForum October 6-7, there are quite a few people new to the community. At least people who have not been at FediForum before. Welcome!

Did you know you really don't need to be an expert to have a good time at #FediForum? Feel free to join us!

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @christin@lsbt.me (2026-09-11 14:24:10) Dear #Fediverse and #Mastodon admins

currently there is a massive wave of spam registrations everywhere in the fediverse.

For mastodon, I have a solution that works for me:

Create new file /etc/nginx/conf.d/lsbt-registration-spam.conf:

map "$request_method:$uri:$http_user_agent" $block_lsbt_registration_spam {
default 0;
~^POST:/api/v1/accounts:Python/3\.[0-9]+\ aiohttp/ 1;
}

Add to the server block in /etc/nginx/sites-available/mastodon:

location = /api/v1/accounts {
if ($block_lsbt_registration_spam) {
return 403;
}

try_files $uri @proxy;
}

I've been using Pixelix for Vernissage for a while now and I have to say, they've made a lot of improvements to the app in recent weeks. They've implemented virtually all of Vernissage's features and implemented some views really cleverly. The only thing missing is the AI functionality.

Reply to @cheeaun@mastodon.social fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe (2026-09-09 12:59:24) @cheeaun it's what I have localized, I guess it should be Save Position or something like that
