just added basic support for Pluraldawn indicators to nicolium. by basic i mean it only supports emojis as indicators and doesn't allow remote origins of avatars yet (so it always uses the emoji used for indicator). deployed to pl.mkljczk.pl. it can be enabled in settings->content->parse pluraldawn indicator emojis.

For the reverse timeline in #Fedilab, I should thank you for your patience.
At one point, I even thought I would not manage to make it work smoothly with all the options Fedilab offers.
Each time I fixed one issue, I was creating another one.

@apps I'm the same way, for a long time I felt I should do all the outgoing, networking stuff you're supposed to do, but now I've reached the comfort zone where I don't feel obligated to go outside my comfort zone.

I have been on the Fediverse for 9 years. For personal reasons, I always refused to put myself forward, even at meetups. Speaking publicly is hard for me, especially in a language that is not my mother tongue.
I know it might hurt my work, but I feel more comfortable just doing what I do, even if I miss opportunities.
If what I do helps others, I am happy. That is enough for me. Thank you for your understanding.

Message to #Peertube sysadmins: if you have some bots that are mass creating accounts those days, you can easily block them with this plugin:

Just be sure to use the latest version (0.1.3), as the previous one was not compatible with moderated registrations.

The biggest 5 Accounts are: @auschwitzmuseum, @vagina_museum, @obsoletemediauk, @deutschestechnikmuseum, @muzej
And the newest one is: @MuseeOrsay
You can find the full list here: https://mastodon-listen.playground.54gradsoftware.de/museum-EUROPA
On this, you can also many other lists. They get refreshed every morning.
Also, thanks to @neuSoM for asking directly for this list. This makes it always so much easier to create them. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

FediSuite 1.6.3
Your Fediverse Management Platform
FediSuite 1.6.3 is out. At its center is reach for public Fediverse posts. Likes, boosts, and replies show reactions, but not how many accounts likely saw a post. That's why FediSuite now calculates an estimated gross and net reach based on the FediWings model.
Gross reach counts possible visibility through the author and boosters. Net reach subtracts out double counting. If the same account boosts several parts of a thread, it doesn't get counted multiple times in the total. FediSuite treats threads as one connected post instead of artificially inflating each segment. These are the details that turn a nice-looking number into a useful one.
The calculation runs in the background for new and already imported posts. Older posts get their turn too, gradually. In the overview, the dashboard, and the top posts list, you can sort by net or gross reach. A badge links directly to the methodology page. It explains how the formula works, what it's based on, and where its limits are. Reach is an estimate, not an oracle. That's exactly why the explanation belongs right next to the number, not in some blog post nobody finds.
It's worth reconnecting your own Fediverse accounts in FediSuite, so that every post actually gets imported at full length. Then it takes a bit of patience: gross and net reach are only calculated after the historical import finishes, and then in small intervals. It can take an hour or two before all the reach numbers are available.
Along the way, 1.6.3 cleans up quite a bit: the time axes on the growth charts finally stick to the selected period, import progress shows its actual phase, and post rows can now be expanded. When fetching reach data, FediSuite now caps concurrent requests per instance at six. A full queue now drains much faster, without flooding small remote instances with requests.
There were also, of course, plenty of smaller changes and fixes under the hood:
Proper UI scaling from 720p

@christin@lsbt.me (2026-09-17 13:57:09)
Quick heads-up for other Mastodon admins: this registration spam wave isn't over yet.
On lsbt.me, we first saw a flood of API registrations using Python/aiohttp. The telltale signs were usernames following the pattern bp plus 16 hex characters, and the sign-up reason was always "Automated protocol deliverability probe". A narrow block on that user agent stopped the first wave.
Today, however, five new registrations came in with the same usernames and the same sign-up reason. This time the bot simply identified itself as Chrome 126. That's exactly why a user agent is only useful as a short-term filter. It's a header the client can set to anything.
The requests go to POST /api/v1/accounts. This endpoint lets client apps create a new local account directly in the app. No app needs it for OAuth connections to existing accounts. #FediSuite doesn't use it either. It registers itself via /api/v1/apps, obtains consent via /oauth/authorize, and then works with a user token. Regular sign-up through the Mastodon website is also handled separately via POST /auth.
So I've completely disabled API account creation on lsbt.me. Web sign-up, OAuth, and existing clients keep working as before. Anyone who wants a new account just signs up once on the web as usual and can then use any client.
If you'd also rather not offer this optional native sign-up path, you can add the following to your Nginx server block, before the general location / block. The example assumes the @proxy location that many Mastodon Nginx configs already include:
location = /api/v1/accounts {
limit_except GET {
deny all;
}
try_files $uri @proxy;
}
This returns a 403 only for POST /api/v1/accounts. The read-only GET endpoint remains reachable. As always, run nginx -t afterwards and only reload once the test passes.
