Grouped notifications, notification filtering, better onboarding and a refreshed look await in this new release of our decentralized open-source social media software.
I wrote about this on my blog. I like the notion and points made here, but I also think we're not helping by re-inventing things that already exist, so I'm torn on it. I have been happy with the existing one.
WarningThis is a pre-release! This has not been as widely tested as regular releases, although it is still tested on mastodon.social and some other servers. If you update to this release, you will ...
The beta for the next major Mastodon release is now available for testing.
"new" == ~3 years old (but looking to move from alpha to beta in 2024 IIRC). It's a good server!
That's not what the story is here - this is an additional fund raising entity to support the independence of the platform. The post is very clear that Mastodon (the project) remains a European organisation
However, it’s also important for us that Mastodon is one of the few, if not the only social media platform that operates out of the EU, and we would like to keep it that way.
As part of our commitment to supporting the growth and operational capabilities of Mastodon, we have established a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity in the United States aimed at facilitating our efforts, including being able to receive tax-deductible U.S. donations.
Way cooler than the one I built a few months ago, but I didn't reuse parts of a Prusa! 😮
Hey all - Johannes Ernst and I are going to get the Fedidevs meetups going again, starting next Thursday March 7.
Main topic: FediTest early show-and-tell and ask for feedback. More details: https://fedidevs.org/notes/2024-03-07/
Have topics for future meetups? Bring them on!
Built and using it - lots of fun. https://dev.to/andypiper/getting-arty-with-a-pi-3dk9
There's also a really nice deep dive into the updates here.
In this massive update we've added search and removed friction. What's not to love?
Lots of small improvements across the user experience, and opt-in search, make this an important release.

I wrote a blog post about using Postmarks and contributing to the project https://andypiper.co.uk/2023/09/11/bookmarks-in-the-fediverse/
At the moment it is explicitly designed as a single-user implementation, although I'm sure it could be pivoted to become multiuser. I've simply set up my own on Glitch and it is working great! -> https://pipesmarks.glitch.me/
I do not know if it is on the Fedora roadmap, but I can recommend taking a listen to the most recent episode of Linux Matters, where the three hosts talked a lot about backup strategies, and also mentioned GUIs.
I've been enjoying the first couple of episodes of Strange Planet on Apple TV. I wasn't sure they could translate a comic strip into something that runs 20(ish) minutes, but it has had me laughing a lot.
Oh, and listening to Messy, the new album from Cindy Alexander. She did a super intimate (audience of 3, me being one of them) livecast the other night, it was really nice.
Also: they remastered the Lush albums? I'll have to check that out.
Reminds me a little of the Rook design. CoreXY right? Tell us more about it!
understandable! No problem, just thought it could be useful, but realise you should make those choices carefully.
You can use the Graze browser extension that will help with this.
Yeah, the decimation in the low poly app was particularly aggressive around the mouth! The original scan of course was not a huge resolution, and I had glasses on which was a mistake. Came out ok for my vanity purposes though :-)
I finally printed a 3D scan of myself, that was taken 8 years ago!
Printed an 8 year old hacked Kinect 3D scan of myself, now I finally have a printer to do it!
This is hilarious and I am here for it. They can't pay their bills, can't imagine they have funds to get a legal case together.
thanks for sharing, appreciate it 😀
I assume the community is using the Open Source Hardware Logo as it looks technical?
