Fediverse

Links are not the only thing keeping big news publisher from high engagement on tweets; there are lots of factors. But this analysis shows that the way that most big news publishers, with the exception of Fox News, really haven’t changed the way they tweet, even as the platform’s incentives have changed.

Arguably fediverse adjacent but it seems relevant enough to me.

Publicly Run Social Media – A Solution for Europe?

Let’s party ! Spread the word to the threadiverse ! :3

From the post:

Catodon is a new Sharkey/Misskey fork.

Profiles are the primary way for people using Mastodon to ‘meet’ one another on a deeper level – beyond a threaded conversation or search results. You might have noticed that the overall design of Profiles hasn’t been explored in a while, and in the meantime, we’ve heard requests and challenges from people who use Mastodon every day.

tags.pub is a new service under development by the Social Web Foundation. It is a global hashtag server – it lets you follow a hashtag across the Fediverse. There’s lots of information on the tags.pub home page, and I (Evan) did a talk about tags.pub at FOSDEM 2026. This blog post answers some basics about…

An article making the case that the Fediverse is a fantastic communication platform for public institutions - because of its openness, transparency and reach.

#Madblog now comes with support for federated author replies and reactions too. All from #Markdown files, as usual.

The latest episode of the Europeans podcast (@europeanspodcast@mastodon.social) features a really nice interview with Eugen Rochko (aka “Europe’s anti-Elon") where he goes into his thoughts about Mastodon, the Fediverse, and his own position in all of it. It’s a really interesting discussion, and an excellent example of how one can talk to people about the Fediverse without making it sound incredibly intimidating.

I have been considering some areas to focus my efforts in the advancement of the development of the fediverse, and in my research, I feel that there are a series of gaps that could be beneficial for the strength and functionality of decentralized platforms.

Hello all!

The past weeks I have worked on setting up a new Piefed based Fediverse instance: https://nord.pub.

After hosting RetroLemmy.com for close to 3 years, we are proud to announce we now have also opened up a PieFed instance called Retrofed.

A Reddit thread by a former therapist with practical psychology tips on convincing people to move.

Hey everyone, the attached link is my write-up about the plans for a new community I am trying to get established. Since I know a lot of people don’t actually follow links to read articles, I’ll copy and paste some stuff here:

Hi everyone :)

If you’re considering moving away from Discord then PieFed may work for your group! Take a look at this comparison.

Effective reddit advertisement and discussion on r/degoogle, r/buyfromEU, and a Canadian subreddit (forgot the name) boosted piefed.social and piefed.ca primarily. I’d like to see more of this if people know viable subreddits, and help spread the load too across many servers. Currently piefed.social has about 50%+ of all piefed users. This is too much long-term.

Hi everyone, Thank you so much for the good vibe :3

I was looking up radio free fedi. forgot it went away.

And i repost the same post so lemmy user can see us. Sorry for the duplicate. 😅

A big thank you to those who contributed to making this release, translating, writing documentation, providing emotional support and promoting PieFed! None of this would happen without you all.

Today the first of Feb is Global Switch day, Spread awareness of the Fediverse in your communities.

Pretty good write-up calling out European politicians in particular for calling for increased tech sovereignty in Europe, but not putting their money where their moth is by actually using the European alternative that already exists.

I’m a big proponent of getting people off closed platforms and algorithms that manipulate our feeds. I took a big swing writing this one and hope people enjoy it. Feedback is welcome!

The host Search Engine, PJ Vogt, and the host of Hard Fork, Kevin Roose, discussed their thoughts about a “new kind of Internet” possible with the Fediverse. They also talked about the challenges of the somewhat technical barrier to entry.

The following is a copypaste from a Mastodon post by @frida@camp.smolnet.org that I’ve linked above.

Andrew Young’s post on the return of med-mastodon

Enquiring minds want to know!

The Fediverse is doing great, apparently.

This whole thread

Apparently, according to the creator :

Update post by Bandwagon.fm, a federated music platform, about their new data migration feature, 2025 highlights and the roadmap for 2026.

And then

PMs are very much an afterthought…

Anyone use it before? Any recommended creators?

This is our biggest release yet, including more finished tasks than any of our previous ones. Below is a summary of the highlights:
