The lack of functional discovery features on Mastodon is so nice. One of the worst experiences on Bluesky is making a post and then 18 hours later completely random people start Discovering it. And they're almost never happy to see it, nor do they remotely understand the intent or context. Make a post for your friends on Bluesky and wake up the next morning to a bunch of messages from mystery people along the lines of "why did you post this??". And I just want to know well why did you read it??

When you can't host it yourself

Hosting your own social media can be liberating but also painstaking and costly. With the Fedi Monster we share expenses, servers, skills, and you can enjoy your instance that we keep running smoothly. The monster's core idea is to enable you to carve a space for yourselves in a complex and vast network; without relying on a predatory corporation.

We offer many options and a very flexible service, trying to strike a balance in community customization and security and cost for all of us. Contact us if you have specific needs, and we'll see what we can do.
Who and What we are

An anarcho-communist collective of fediverse instance administrators, server caretakers, programmers and other workers, dedicated to providing a reliable, affordable, and ethical hosting service to many kinds of online communities.

We will not host instances and communities that promote or support capitalism, fascism, classism, imperialism, war and militarism, nazism, white supremacy, religious supremacism, police states, are directly affiliated with states, or more at our discretion. and the monster's pronouns are it/them.

A tool for exporting data from and importing data to Fediverse instances. Requires that they support the Mastodon API as implemented by GoToSocial. Intended for use with GoToSocial, but should work with other Mastodon-like instances, including Mastodon.

Publish short texts and links, and socialise in the Social Web (a.k.a. the Fediverse).

All by renting a 🏡 web space, uploading a single file and you're set!

You can do this yourself without the help or permission of others (But feel free to get advice and assistence).

Description

This pull request overloads scheduled_at to allow creating statuses with creation times and ULIDs backdated to a previous time in scheduled_at, with the following caveats:

• Backfilled statuses aren't inserted into home or list timelines on the instance, and don't generate - - - Backfilled statuses aren't pushed to other instances through federation (but may be federated normally later through boosts, searches, etc.)
• Backfilled statuses may only mention or reply to the account creating them
• Backfilled statuses can't contain polls

An easy and stress-free way of choosing a Fediverse server

Fedi.Garden is a small human-curated list of nice, well run servers on Mastodon and the wider Fediverse. All of them have opted-in and promised to obey specific standards of reliability and responsible moderation.

Look, I’m done. I poured years and endless hours into establishing myself on walled garden services administered with varying degrees of competence and benevolence, only to have those services use my own sunk costs to trap me within their silos even as they siphoned value from my side of the ledger to their own.

The only thing worse than having wasted all that time and energy would be to have wasted it — and learned nothing.

In the findings, we get into…

Why we think the fediverse’s structure can allow for particularly humane and high-context moderation—and which of the cultural, technical, and financial gaps that our participants identified must be filled before the network can achieve its potential.
The interrelated governance configurations that make a server more or less manageable, and the different ways servers in our sample approached those configurations to serve their various communities.
The biggest gaps and annoyances in available governance tooling—spoiler, it’s mostly moderation stuff, but it also includes some fascinating things related to shared/coalitional moderation and better communication between servers.
What kinds of future threats are most on server operators’ minds, and which things they’re not particularly concerned about.
The things that keep volunteer server runners on the fediverse, give them hope, and make them feel excited about possible futures.

Jortage is a communal project providing object storage and hosting, with more on the way. Our model is to pool together hosting expenses of our members to allow pay-what-you-can usage and to reduce everyone's costs overall.

Our first project, the Jortage Storage Pool, designed for fediverse instances, has been fairly successful and has saved 20+ instance admins huge amounts off their storage fees, and often allowed them to move off slow and frequently-down cheap providers onto our system powered by a CDN.

An anarchist introduction to federated social media

(also an interesting approach so site search)

MrBotchi is federated microblogging platform for single-user.

Grid layout, pinned contents, works for microblogging as well as blog posts & images posts.. maybe the closest thing to a decentralised Tumblr so far?

Epicyon is an AGPL licensed ActivityPub protocol compliant federated social network server suitable for hosting a small number of accounts on low power systems requiring minimal maintenance, such as single board computers. It's the ActivityPub equivalent of an email server, storing posts as human readable JSON on file, rather than in a database. It also uses only a small amount of RAM.
