fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @apps@toot.fedilab.app (2026-07-24 03:22:22) I've started improving #Fedilab, especially some old annoying bugs, such as issues with certain instances not working over WiFi, or the app being slow to load timelines due to too much cache.
I recently got some reports, but most of them are missing the attachment (crash report). That's my fault: the ACRA lib is outdated. After that, I'll start fixing the issues reported on Codeberg.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @MakerTube@mastodon.social (2026-07-24 01:40:07) Based on prior discussions, a storage based subscription plan for MakerTube could look like this:

- free until 2GB
- 10GB/mo 3€
- 100GB/mo 5€
- 250GB/mo 10€
- 500GB/mo 20€
- 1000GB/mo 35€

The plan is to enable it for new users in the near future and move existing users over later this year.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @gotosocial@gts.superseriousbusiness.org (2026-07-23 23:31:15) DID YOU KNOW: In #GoToSocial, if you go to your account settings and change your layout to "Gram-style", you can set the web view of your profile to show an instagram-like grid of photos to visitors.

This is handy for folks that primarily post photographs or other media and want to highlight that when people visit profile account on the web :)

We wrote this feature quite a while ago but not that many people know about it! ---Attachments--- image: https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/fileserver/016VP4S3BP3QSJBACEQ6J1VFDX/attachment/original/01KY7NNWZ7V2DB3K87Q54FDDY9.png

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @amd@snac.amd.im (2026-07-23 03:23:08) This little #snac instance has been running for a little more than a month now. I'm following 500-odd people and a bunch of hashtags from the mastodon.social feeds.

Storage has grown to 1.7gb, memory and cpu utilization are still negligible.

This is easily the lightest weight fedi host I have run to-date, and I've run just about all of them.

I'm still hestitant to move to it full time, but it is pretty appealing.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @kranzkrone@quasselkopf.de (2026-07-23 20:47:42) [Decentralized, federated platform for dog owners]

I haven’t been able to get this idea out of my head for a while now. 😩😁

Why are there centralized platforms for dog owners—but no open, decentralized alternative? 🤔

What if clubs, animal shelters, dog training schools, or local communities could run their own instances while still being interconnected, based on ActivityPub, similar to the Fediverse? 😃

Possible features could include:
🐶 Dog profiles
🚶 Walks & meetups
📍 Dog parks & local spots
⚠️ Poisoned bait and hazard alerts
🔎 Missing & found dogs

The focus would be on data sovereignty, local communities, and open standards instead of a centralized platform. 😉

Attached is a preliminary concept diagram to make the idea more tangible.

I’d be interested to know:
Would you use something like this, or even help build it? ⁉️ 🙄

"The report said a 15-year-old should be able to access only what it called “ethical” social media, such as Mastodon."

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @silverpill@mitra.social (2026-07-23 02:41:29) Proposal: Replace gateways query parameter in 'ap' URIs with @gateway, which can be used multiple times

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/890

Before:

?gateways=https%3A%2F%2Fserver1.example,https%3A%2F%2Fserver2.example

After:

?@gateway=https%3A%2F%2Fserver1.example&@gateway=https%3A%2F%2Fserver2.example

Query parameters are often used to specify collection filters. The @ prefix will make it clear that gateway parameter is special.

fedicat@fedicat@pc.cafe boosted: @_elena@mastodon.social (2026-07-22 15:52:20) Good morning Fedi friends,

I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.

My way of coping?

Teaching people how to self-host their own Fediverse profile (using the superb #GoToSocial) via #YunoHost.

I don't know if Mitra qualifies as such, but I guess it is time to move to a self-hosted forge.
