@Sbarry8520 has been building a house for their family after a storm destroyed their previous house recently. They have been mostly funding it through donations here on the #fediverse!
I just sent €10 and would love to see us all chip in and help get this project completed! The amount they need we can probably get together in the next 24 hours without much trouble.
@gcrkrause is collecting money through paypal and will do the work getting the money into The Gambia, so dm them for the address.
"Facebook Core Data Science" Research Scientist @danieljiang seems to be following people around here on the #fediverse. Hello and welcome to your employers only true "competition"
Wow this is new! https://fediverse.observer #fediverse
#Mastodon is in the process of adding post editing (with history) as opposed to delete and redraft, which causes many issues https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/16697 #fedidev #mastodev #fediverse
Apparently when one signs up for a #Hubzilla account, if you want to interact with the rest of the fediverse you must first install the Activitypub Protocol app. I am now on Hubzilla here: @wakest
(#fediverse quirks I wouldn’t have assumed...)
In #fediverse news today: both #Hometown and #Fedibird changed their reporting info from #Mastodon to their fork names.

Some renewed discussion of methods for bridging the #fediverse and #SSB https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-db/issues/202 @cryptix @staltz @powersource @adz
Gustav-Landauer-Bibliothek Witten is an #anarchist #library in Witten #Germany.
You can read about them on their website in german: https://projekte.free.de/glb/ or in english on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Landauer_Library_Witten
They have a large presence on the #fediverse: https://ruhr.social/tags/GLBibW with accounts on #Bookwym with listings of over 1000 books: @GLBW@bookwyrm.social and host a podcast on #Funkwhale: @GLBW@open.audio!
a sweet little video about leaving youtube for #peertube and the #fediverse by @craftykat just made the front page of hacker news: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28585817
@onan maybe the first step is to open issues in all three of these projects and propose federation. They may not have ever heard of the idea or know that the #fediverse exists at all.

I just finished reading this massive thread about standardizing “groups” on the #fediverse and how we want them to work in the future: https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/pixelfed-groups/1984/36
The thread is a massive discussion between @humanetech @dansup @sl007 @mike @heluecht @grishka @nightpool @tchambers @yala @weex
I tagged them here in case others who do not partake in the socialhub forum have followup questions or concerns regarding the shaping of the fediverse, as this is a participatory space!
#Hubzilla 6.2.1 has been released! (Hubzilla is #fediverse software that supports many types of social activity)

Thanks to @mario for the announcement
A freshly redesigned interface was just announced for #GnuSocial! The #fediverse’s oldest project is alive and kicking!

whats the biggest Danish #fediverse instance?
Twitter has publicly launched their #Bluesky discord and theres ton of people joining it right now cause it was just boosted by Jack. I got them to set up a #fediverse channel and many folks are there discussing the fediverse in relation to the future of twitter. I think its important to make our voices heard there, whatever they may be. Right now there are way too many crypto people trying to push that direction. Come along for a ride!
ran across this image looking for something totally different and sort of like it as a branding idea for the #fediverse
Welcome @Mediapart to the #fediverse!
"Mediapart is an independent French online investigative journal created in 2008 by...former editor-in-chief of Le Monde. Mediapart is published in French, English and Spanish."

ongoing #fediverse saga:
so #misskey just did some partnership/funding thing with a blockchain startup out of japan called RSS3 that seemingly has nothing to do with RSS
I am glad to see fediverse stuff get funding, but it will be interesting (and worrisome) if this will be another attempt to integrate blockchain stuff into the fediverse
