fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe (2026-05-16 03:43:24) We just released Bonfire Social 1.0.3 🔥


Blog post with all the details: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...


It comes with dozens of bug fixes and UX improvements, plus:



Federated comments embeddable on any web page.



Deep Ghost integration: SSO, membership tier sync, and automatic article import.



New dashboard widgets: spotlight, polls closing soon, top discussions.




#CalmEmpowerment: a new design pattern that starts with a few sensible defaults, offers a middle layer of common adjustments, and reveals the full options only when you need them. Boundaries and post permissions got this treatment first, more to follow...





Modular community rules: a first step in bringing research and co-design with students and researchers at @hci@micro.blogs.princeton.edu into Bonfire, so governance becomes something communities can better define and share, and that others can fork and adapt.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @admin@fedimeteo.com (2026-05-15 16:07:07) FediMeteo updates are distributed every 6 hours. If a city appears empty on your instance, it doesn't mean the service is down - it just means no one on your instance is following it yet.
Simply start following the city, and you'll receive the weather conditions and forecasts with the next update.

Please note that since updates are sent at regular 6-hour intervals, it may take a little while for the first message to arrive.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @cR0w@infosec.exchange (2026-05-15 10:07:29) Occasional reminder to donate to your Mastodon admin if possible. They're enabling us to hang out here and shitpost without ads and weird corpo crap. :heart_cyber:

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @hongminhee@hollo.social (2026-05-15 13:09:13) Hollo 0.8.0 shipped less than a month ago, and 0.9.0 is already shaping up to be a bigger release than I expected. New frontend design, Passkey support, WebFinger domain separation, a media proxy, full FEP-044f (Mastodon-style quote posts) compliance, and Traditional Chinese docs. More details when it's out.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @dumpsterqueer@gts.superseriousbusiness.org (2026-05-15 00:02:56) now that relay support is implemented on main, we got to close an issue from Nov 2022 today :) https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/1123

If you haven't checked out Vernissage (a federated photo sharing platform), I highly recommend it. Beautiful photography, each instance can have a curator and the feeds are stunning.

You can (but don't have to) include photo metadata stats if you're a fancy professional, too.

The app is well designed too, some lovely design choices I've not seen elsewhere.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @timbray@cosocial.ca (2026-05-15 06:21:03) Idly wondering how badly it stresses the Fediverse fabric when someone with a lot of followers uploads a 75M video.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de (2026-05-15 04:49:11) Have you ever wanted a Codeberg t-shirt? Maybe a polo shirt? What about a towel or a mug? A barrel bag?! If that's the case, we put together a list of places where you can get them from: https://merch.codeberg.org

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @vernissage@mastodon.social (2026-05-14 19:44:57) Today we released #Vernissage 1.37.0 🎉

You can now follow hashtags: photos marked with followed tags will appear in your private timeline. Status details also show common hashtags and clearly highlight tags you follow.

The iOS app with hashtag-following support has been submitted to Apple for review and should be available soon.

This release also includes notification improvements, minor fixes, documentation updates, and other refinements.

Thank you for your support! 😊 ---Attachments--- image: https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/116/572/518/957/098/226/original/b4bf6539fd31875f.png

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @stefan@stefanbohacek.online (2026-05-15 01:24:05) A few months ago I shared a guide on how to make a website in (about) five minutes with as little code as possible.

And if that's still too much code, here's a follow up with almost none.

Hope you'll enjoy!

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @mkljczk@pl.fediverse.pl (2026-05-15 00:03:42) i will probably release nicolium 0.3.0 soon, do you think the changelog is large enough?

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @mkljczk@pl.fediverse.pl (2026-05-15 00:08:02) i started doing releases more often and now i’m even doing patch releases that are not just branched off develop. it’s fun.

Reply to @siliconsjang@siliconbeest.sjang.dev fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe (2026-05-14 16:05:26) @siliconsjang I'm making a testflight build now with initial support, it's mostly a matter of checking for the software name in the nodeinfo and defining a platform class with the supported features:

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @hongminhee@hollo.social (2026-05-14 13:55:32) A friend of mine, @siliconsjang, released SiliconBeest v1.0.0 today. It's a #fediverse server built on #Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2, and Queues, using Fedify.

I like the starting point: after watching fediverse servers go down together during Cloudflare outages, they thought, why not just run on Cloudflare directly?

They're aiming for something cheap enough that a small instance can stay on Cloudflare's free plan, and a somewhat bigger one can fit in the $5/month tier. It's still early; a lot is missing, and Mastodon/Misskey API compatibility is more of a long-term goal.

I'm glad to see Fedify put to use for something like this. Worth checking out.

The source code is on GitHub under AGPL 3.0.

If you haven't signed up for a session, I highly recommend it. It's professional, participative and friendly. I was glad to be there; I felt like it mattered.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @cheeaun@mastodon.social (2026-05-14 10:43:33) Not bad, for now.

Still just a card, not full implementation yet (collections page, "remove me" buttons, edit, delete, update, etc).

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @sitharus@cloudisland.nz (2026-05-14 09:13:37) Hey lazywebs, where’s a good place to learn how people who use accessibility settings and devices on phones actually use them?

I want to make sure the app I work on is as accessible as I can make it. Everything I can find says “use this and it’s accessible”, but when I try the accessibility tools the result is… well garbage.

So I want to find how who people actually use these tools expect them to behave so I can properly set up the app.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @apps@toot.fedilab.app (2026-05-14 05:09:39) Concerning #Fedilab, with close to 8 million messages indexed, I think #HolosDiscover now has enough content to be worth integrating.
Full API support would allow pinning tailored timelines and interacting with new content. This would be particularly useful for small instances.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @apps@toot.fedilab.app (2026-05-14 04:29:27) #Holos is a new social network working with #ActivityPub. This is not an app where you can connect your Mastodon, Pixelfed or PeerTube account.
There is no web version and no API because the ActivityPub server runs on the device itself. That's the whole challenge behind this project.
If there is more engagement, I plan to build a desktop version and even sync between different devices.
