vit.am is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
#HolosDiscover is a search engine dedicated to the #Fediverse. It does not scrape content, because it speaks #ActivityPub and respects each user's choice to opt in or out.
The most respectful alternative, open to all and full of content to explore.
Hey everyone,
@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.
They are:
• حنان محمود (@hananmahmoud)
• umyahya2026🇵🇸 (@umyahya2026)
Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).
Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
https://gaza-verified.org/donate/
Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.
💕

Der Fediverse-Workshop im @kursif geht in eine nächste Runde
Am 16. Juli leite ich nochmal den Workshop „Das Fediverse – ein selbstbestimmter Raum im Internet“ im KuRSiF.
Veranstaltungstext:
Die US-Amerikanischen Tech-Größen versammeln sich hinter Donald Trump und die sogenannten „Sozialen Netzwerke“ wie Instagram, Twitter/X oder Facebook ziehen mit. Das bedeutet konkret Einschränkungen in der Moderation und dem Fact Checking. Damit werden Desinformationen und Fake News die Tore geöffnet und der politische Diskurs droht weiter zu verrohen und in Populismus überzugehen.
Was es mit dem Fediverse auf sich hat und welche Rolle Mastodon darin spielt, soll in diesem Workshop erklärt und erfahren werden.
Wo? KuRSiF (Oskarstr. 1)
Wann? 16. Juli 2026, ab 18:00 Uhr
Anmeldung: Bitte per Mail oder Nachricht anmelden
Maybe it's time Mayor Olivia weened Toronto from maga-infrastructure the way Europeans are doing, and, as they and the City of Ottawa have done, embrace the #Fediverse?
it's summer and winter and a good moment to boost all those #introduction posts, particularly of the people who joined in the past 6 months!
The #fediverse is strong and let's give all the newcomers a warm welcome!
Happy weekend everyone🙋 Thank you to everyone who has supported our water well fundraiser💪
Because of your kindness, we have already passed 50% of our goal! We hope to begin the water well project next week, but we still need help raising the remaining funds.
Every donation brings us closer to water well ownership 💪, gives our crops a chance to survive, and stops our dreams from fading inside us.
Please share our fundraiser if you can it also makes a huge difference. Together, we can turn hope into reality. https://www.gofundme.com/f/water-well-at-eco-youths-farm/cl/s?utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp20_t1&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link&lang=en_US
Coucou! This is just a first post announcing Nuages to the world.
Nuages is an ActivityPub app, connecting to your favourite servers that support the Client to Server API.
Follow us to get our latest updates, we’ll be officially launching the app in the coming weeks 😉
#ActivityPub #c2s #ActivityPubAPI #Fediverse
#activitypub #ActivityPubAPI #c2s #fediverseHas anyone already developed something like a '15 day plan' to try the Fediverse, specifically targeted at helping communities/interest groups give it a go via a series of quick and easy steps?
I'm thinking something like this to help facilitate the beginnings of a migration:
Day 1: Browse the home feeds of these three servers suited to our shared interest(s).
Day 2: Choose one of those servers and register an account.
Day 3: Follow at least ten other accounts; here are 25 suggestions.
Day 4: Browse your new home feed.
Day 5: Browse your live feed (own server).
Day 6: Like a post.
Day 7: Boost a post.
Day 8: Reply to a post.
Day 9: Write an #Introduction post.
Etc etc.

More bitching about (American?) lefties: Some people work really hard to eliminate binaries when talking about gender and attraction, but bake it into many other things. Every post that says things about "Americans", "Republicans", "White people", "Men", "Children", etc. assumes a binary: If you're in this group (by the definition of the writer), then you share all of the characteristics the writer attributes to the group. I get the desire for a punchy, uncomplicated hot take (and I have been guilty of this), but it's not valid or true. Americans aren't remotely one thing, ever; we're a bunch of cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, doorknobs, and squids shoved in the same bag. White people, men, women, children, autistic people, etc.: Similar situation: There is a lot of diversity. In many domains there is more diversity of whatever-you're-talking-about within the group than between that and other contrasting groups. Even Republicans (as much as I hate to admit it) are not the same; they're a bit of a different situation because conformity (i.e., "unity") via authoritarianism is valued so strongly in conservative groups that diversity of thoughts, attitudes, etc. is suppressed and then not displayed, but there are still differences (OK, I regularly say "Republicans" as a global stereotype on FB, trying to punch through the noise of blandness... I'm guilty of this).
Comments like "The constitution was [description]" or "America is basically..." etc. do the same thing: they attribute one set of characteristics to something that is inherently not one thing. No matter what your hot take is about the Constitution or immigration law or the US justice system, you're wrong unless you fold in the fact that these are multidimensional mishmashes of the intentions and actions of many different people and groups.
Most of us have generous character limits here on the #fediverse, and I think many of us pride ourselves on at least trying to do critical thinking and careful analysis of complex things. There is no exception for things "everyone agrees" are "merely [whatever]".

@edgeofeurope Rob, I’m not arguing for prudery, nor treating all nudity as pornography. Non-pornographic art, medical information, and education are obvious examples where nudity can be legitimate.
I’m specifically arguing that Mastodon-branded generalist instances should not host pornography. I am also talking about preventing pornography from reaching people who did not deliberately opt into it by joining, following, or browsing adult-oriented servers and accounts.
A free society can defend sexual freedom while still expecting explicit adult-only content to be properly contained.

Some of the world's brightest minds have the knowledge and skills to heal our #planet yet many spend their talents creating technologies for conflicts instead of solutions for humanity.
Imagine if that same innovation was used to restore nature, fight hunger, and build peace.🤔
The world needs wisdom that serves life, not destruction.
#️⃣ Hashtags im Fediverse – weniger ist oft mehr
Mir ist aufgefallen, dass viele Hashtags ganz unterschiedlich nutzen. Manche verzichten komplett darauf, andere hängen unter jeden Beitrag 20 oder 30 Hashtags. Deshalb heute ein kleiner Blick hinter die Kulissen. 😊
Ein Hashtag ist nicht nur ein farbiges Wort mit einer Raute davor. Er ist gleichzeitig ein Thema, unter dem Beiträge gesammelt werden. Viele Menschen folgen bestimmten Hashtags, um genau die Inhalte zu sehen, die sie interessieren.
Jeder zusätzliche Hashtag bedeutet aber auch:
🔹 Dein Beitrag wird in einem weiteren Themenbereich eingeordnet.
🔹 Er wird auf vielen Instanzen zusätzlich indexiert und verarbeitet.
🔹 Menschen finden deinen Beitrag möglicherweise über diesen Hashtag.
Mehr Hashtags bedeuten deshalb nicht automatisch mehr Reichweite. Im Gegenteil:
Zu viele Hashtags wirken oft unübersichtlich und erschweren den Lesefluss. Außerdem verlieren die wirklich wichtigen Themen zwischen vielen weniger passenden Schlagwörtern an Aufmerksamkeit.Manche Menschen empfinden Beiträge mit sehr vielen Hashtags als unübersichtlich oder stumm schalten solche Inhalte sogar. Wenige, gut gewählte Hashtags helfen oft mehr als eine lange Liste.
Für die meisten Beiträge reichen 3 bis 6 gut gewählte Hashtags völlig aus. Entscheidend ist nicht die Anzahl, sondern dass sie wirklich zum Inhalt passen.
Ein Beispiel:
📷 Ein Foto vom Sonnenuntergang über der Elbe braucht vielleicht nur
#Fotografie #Natur #SächsischeSchweiz
Mehr ist in vielen Fällen gar nicht nötig.
Hashtags sind also keine Dekoration und auch kein Wettbewerb. Sie helfen dabei, Menschen mit ähnlichen Interessen zusammenzubringen – genau dafür wurden sie geschaffen.
Wie handhabt ihr das? Nutzt ihr Hashtags bewusst oder eher nach Gefühl? Ich bin gespannt auf eure Erfahrungen. 😊

Please boost if you can't donate. Every share helps.❤️ I really need your help🙏🙏🙏
We are still trying to buy gravel and it’s the only thing which’s stopping us from continuing our work and secondly the rain is almost close.
I still need help and if we can get some funds we can try and buy gravel so that we can continue our work and complete backfilling before it rains heavily.

The numbers behind the previous post, for the curious.
Same fio and sysbench setup on both boxes, Debian 13, direct=1, libaio.
Random read 4K, the workload databases actually live on:
1.41M IOPS on the 2025 box against 822k on the 2027 one.
RAM bandwidth: 64,038 MiB/s against 11,906. That is 5.4x.
Single thread CPU: 4,504 against 4,147 events/sec. Same EPYC Genoa on paper.
And here is my favorite part. The old box ran all of this while carrying my entire production: Mastodon, Postgres, Valkey, a pile of Docker containers, 17 days of uptime.
The new box was empty and idle.
The loaded veteran still won almost everything.
#SelfHosting #VPS #Benchmarks #fio #sysbench #Homelab #MastoAdmin #Fediverse
Sometimes newer is not better. At least not for the things that matter to you.
I benchmarked two OVH VPS in the same Zurich location. My current 2025 model with a 500 Mbit network against the newer 2027 model with 1 Gbit. Same AMD EPYC Genoa cores, same provider, nearly identical sysbench CPU scores.
Then the surprises started.
The older box pushes 6,612 MiB/s in memory tests, the newer one 932 MiB/s. That is 7x.
Random 4K reads: 1.32 million IOPS against 832k.
And the old model is even about 1 EUR cheaper.
For a Mastodon instance, databases, and Docker workloads, memory and disk beat extra bandwidth every time. So the shiny new VPS gets demoted to reverse proxy and backup duty, and this instance stays exactly where it is.
Benchmark before you migrate.

MY EVER PATIENT GOLDEN! #mastodon #fediverse #photo #photography #outdoors #dogsofmastodon #dogs #pets #goodnight
Hi guys! 🙂 I’m moving this conversation away from Burnout Café’s @admin account and over to my personal account. The admin account is meant mainly for administration, moderation, and service information.
It was me who wrote the posts about #pornography, #moderation, #mastodon, and the #fediverse.
I stand by my policy arguments, but I accept that one phrase was badly chosen. I should have referred to pornography generally, not homosexual pornography specifically.
I am not saying that gay people or gay sexual content uniquely endanger anyone. That is not what I believe.
My view is that Mastodon-branded generalist instances such as mastodon.social, mastodon.online and mastodon.world should not host pornography, regardless of orientation, and should do more to prevent unexpected exposure to pornographic material federated from elsewhere.
Content warnings and hashtags frequently are not being used, notably when posts are federated from other instances where they don't apply the same rules as mastodon.social and mastodon.online.
So pornography without any obfuscation can reach people - including minors - who did not knowingly opt into adult content.
Pornography can be hosted on other servers in the Fediverse, but I don't believe it should be on servers that are operated by the Mastodon project, or that are likely to be perceived by newcomers as Mastodon-branded entry points.
Burnout Café’s server rules show the kind of lower-shock, non-pornographic general space I am trying to maintain.
I support LGBT+ people living openly, safely, and equally.
My argument is about pornography policy on major Mastodon entry-point instances, not about opposing LGBT+ rights or expression.
People are free to disagree with me. I am also free to argue for stricter moderation.
I am happy to discuss the actual policy issues: consent, containment, age-safety, public timelines, federation, and the role of Mastodon-branded generalist instances.
I am not interested in turning the debate into a trial of motives.
Mal so nebenbei etwas feelgood-Lobgehudel auf das #fediverse: Wisst Ihr eigentlich zu schätzen, was für 'ne tolle Community das hier ist? Fast eine Art Christiania des Internets.
Die Frau und ich saßen gestern auf der Terrasse und befanden beide, das wir keinen Bock mehr auf unseren Job haben. Wir fühlen uns aus der Zeit gefallen. Wir geben immer alles für unsere Arbeit, erzählen keinen Bullshit und ziehen niemals jemanden über‘n Tisch. Klingt toll, ist aber offensichtlich nicht mehr (1/)
Anders als andere SoMe sorgt also das #fediverse dafür, dass ich nicht komplett zum Zyniker werde.
Es scheint noch Menschen da draußen zu geben.
Nur mal so an Euch Alle 😘

UPDATE 11/07/2026
47.50/818 after over ten days without movement, thank you — 770.5 to go. 5 days left to cover up the rest.
The owner of the apartment I rent already started harassing me yesterday; she always does that whenever I'm late paying the bills, maintenance fee, and yearly rent. So at least $350 is needed before the 16th before she comes banging on my door with building security to harass me again.
At the same time, I honestly can't put off my meds and my actual needs to have proper, healthy food from the groceries portion of the basic monthly essentials anymore after surviving with scraps without meds for the past six months, I really need them.
So idk, between dying from hunger and being unmedicated, and potentially being homeless after being harassed, I'd rather be alive while I'm homeless. So $468 (for meds and groceries) it is 👍🏻
If you're able to help, please do. You can give directly or amplify this as far and wide as possible. Every bit of support makes a difference right now.
Thank you, thank you 🙂↕️

Nothing which is easier when you don't create it.
Farming is not easy but eating is easier.
I don't know why it is that the cheapest thing on this planet earth is food.
While the farmers spend a lot of time while trying to make it.

The importance of trees is to avoid bad weather conditions like droughts and carbon dioxide levels.
