Soon, you'll be able to buy music on the Fediverse.

Bandwagon, the music-sharing platform built on Emissary, has seen a lot of success over the past few months. The site has grown to a catalogue of over 300 different musicians, spanning a wide range of different sounds and genres. After refining search and discovery features, project lead Ben Pate has decided to focus on introducing a payment system for music sales.

Dear Fedi friends,

I'm really proud to share with you a video I made: "Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media" https://news.elenarossini.com/fediverse-video/

In this 4-minute video I explain what the #fediverse is to people not familiar with it, mentioning some of its great features and benefits (interoperability, no ads, no surveillance...) and I set it in contrast to the world of Big Tech social platforms. I argue that, with the rise of Big Tech oligarchs and the current political climate, there has never been a better time to join the fediverse.

I hope you will enjoy this video and that you will find it useful (maybe as a tool to introduce your friends, family, colleagues, school administrators, local government officials to it).

The fediverse has truly changed my life, making me a better, more empowered digital citizen. I am endlessly grateful for it, so this is my contribution to the cause ❤️

I am also incredibly thankful for the work of @samaaberg and @patel.riyen who helped me bring my vision to life with their amazing cinematography skills and their assistance throughout the process, providing brilliant feedback to the script / edits from the POV of fedi newbies.

And I was also moved by the generous help of people of the Fediverse who volunteered to translate the script into many foreign languages: @jan @fritjof @erikkemp @sknob @severin @clabru @tarcisiosurdi @hongminhee @danielcasanueva @ainali @nacly

Lastly, I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to premiere the video last week at #FediForum - thank you @j12t and @anca

The video is up on my self-hosted PeerTube instance (thank you @yunohost) and for now it is unlisted as I have no idea how my VPS will hold up. I also included an alternate location in the blog post.

I hope you'll enjoy it! It's been a real labor of love (a month of full time work on it)... I see it as my love letter to the fediverse 💌

Edit/update: THANK YOU for all the people who volunteered to have their avatar show up in the last shot. There were 750+ submissions and only 135 spots - sorry I couldn't include everyone 🥲

Really nice to see all the progress Ghost has made towards full integration with the fediverse, which will officially launch with their 6.0 version next month.

"This launch, though, feels bigger than most, because ActivityPub is more than a protocol or a fancy feature; it’s a statement that the open web still matters."

There is a new tool called Splinter which makes it easier to create Mastodon threads. You enter the full text and it splits it up and posts it as a thread automatically (it also has options for manual splitting).

More info in the announcement post at:

➡️ https://social.hastily.cc/@neiman/114591328088507928

The Splinter tool itself is at:

Techy people can self-host Splinter if they prefer, the source code is at https://codeberg.org/neiman/splinter and its author is @neiman

#Fediverse currently: "Are you a brave dev? Yes, then go for it and hack & slash something together that with luck becomes modestly successful. And enjoy your thing, you lucky bastard" 😅

Fedi must become a heterogeneous interoperable social network where service development is way easier, more inclusive, where services compose / orchestrate / choreograph into solutions that serve people's needs. Add missing social layers full of building blocks, to this technosphere techstack we currently have.

I'm just going to post this here so you all what know what happened if I pretty much disappear.

I have been using #Mastodon for at least a couple of years now and have been constantly frustrated by the user interface in the web client. When I first came onto Mastodon I read that boosts were encouraged because this help propagate posts to servers. Never understood why that didn't happen automatically but oh, well. So I started boosting and found that everything I boosted showed up again in my timeline. Not only that, I started to notice that I was seeing multiple duplicates of other people's posts, even the ones I had not boosted. Apparently Mastodon has no way to keep track of what you're already seen! Or if it does, it's not filtering those posts from the timeline. And then there is my other frustration, that in many cases as you move around in Mastodon you lose your place in the timeline, and getting back to where you left off reading would not be nearly as hard if you weren't scrolling though multiple messages you've already read.

Please note that I only read Mastodon posts on my #Linux desktop computer. I NEVER use a fucking phone to read anything, I HATE modern phones. I'm fine with computers but every phone I have ever used seems incredibly difficult for some reason, although I know part of it is the text size is usually too small for older people. And I only use the Mastodon web site; I have tried alternatives and just don't like any of them, and none of them solve the problems I mentioned above. So I am NOT looking for suggestions on alternative Mastodon readers (and especially not ones that require a payment). What I want is for the Mastodon developers to fix their damn web client so you don't see duplicate and repetitive posts. But I have been shouting about this for two years and I might as well be the proverbial old man shouting at clouds because they obviously either aren't listening or don't care.

So I decided to give #Bluesky a serious try. What actually put that idea in my head was someone on here wondering why people would use corporate social media with its inevitable enshittification when they could be using the Fediverse. And I had the immediate thought, that at least some people probably don't use the Fediverse because the usability sucks in ways that the corporate social media doesn't. I love the content of Mastodon, if only I could only see any given post just once and once only!!!

Anyway to my surprise I found that a good 80% to 90% of the people I follow on Mastodon are also on Bluesky, and in many cases they are posting the same content there as here. The difference was that I could scroll through the last 12 hours or so of Bluesky, seeing pretty much identical content to what I see here (as far as I could tell) in well under 30 minutes, while doing the same thing here would take considerably longer because of all the duplicate posts. And because MOST Bluesky users are using the same site, you don't find that messages fail to propagate in the way that happens in the #Fediverse. I have NOT got completely into Bluesky, and I have not yet tried to post or boost there (although since boosting, or whatever it is called there, isn't really necessary to help propagate posts among servers I probably won't do as much of that there) but unless the experience there turns out to be much worse than what you get in the Mastodon web client, I may just drift over there. And if I happen to find a free Bluesky client that I like that runs on desktop Linux (Ubuntu/Flatpak, no snaps or paid apps) that would be icing on the cake.

This is not yet a final "goodbye, I am leaving" post, I may never do one because there is always the chance I will get ticked off at something Bluesky does and start using Mastodon again (especially if they fix their usability issues). But I just can't spend sometimes as much as three or four hours of a day scrolling through multiple duplicates of the same damn posts, it's not good for my physical or my mental health. This may be a case of "the grass is always greener" but I guess it is time for me to seriously try Bluesky.

Just in time for summer!

I would like to sell this #bicycle. I'm in #Portland #Oregon #PDX

It is a 26" Nishiki hybrid city #bike.

Asking US$150. Just want to make back what I put into it for new parts. I have a spreadsheet if you'd like to see a breakdown of the costs.

I'd really like to be able to fund my next project soon.

Available exclusively on the #fediverse for just 3 more days. On June 1st, 2025 I will be putting it up for sale on Craigslist.

Boosts are appreciated.
