Hello #fediverse! Thanks to my new DFF grant, I'm now looking to hire a PhD student to join me at AAU in Aalborg to work on "usable decentralization", i.e. on making distributed and federated cloud services accessible to the everyday user. For more details, see link below, and please don't hesitate to DM me with questions!https://www.vacancies.aau.dk/phd-positions/show-vacancy/vacancyId/895183#HCI #academia #getfedihired #decentralization #AAU #Aalborg #Denmark #selfhosted #selfhosting

Are you running a server on the Fediverse, either Mastodon or some other type?Would you like it to be listed on the human-curated server directory at https://fedi.garden/fedi-gardens-full-server-list ?Is it compatible with all seven points at https://fedi.garden/about-this-site ?If the answer to all these is yes, please message my other account at:️ @FediGarden Let me know a little bit about your server in your message, or send a link to your About page #Fediverse #FediAdmin #MastoAdmin

Can any instance operators offer an explanation as to why federating with Mastodon from an instance not running their software tends to be more difficult?I've noticed lately that when viewing a profile from a Mastodon instance, their post history tends to be incomplete or otherwise missing. Any posts that are made recently tend to have a significant delay or don't show up on their profile at all.I know that you can view the content from the remote instance in question for a complete profile, that you need to do so however does seem to be a failing on the part of the server software to properly federate and populate posts.#SelfHosting, #FediAdmin, #Mastodon, #MastoAdmin, #ServerAdmin, #SocialMedia, #AskFedi, #FediMeta, #Fedi, #Federation, #Fediverse.

February is the Black History Month here in the US, and a great opportunity to recommit to making the fediverse (and beyond!) a safe and welcoming place for Black people. Let's continue to lift up their voices, celebrate their joys, and if you see trouble, step in and help out. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackFedi #BlackMastodon #fediverse

I’m one ally with a tiny voice.TurtleIsland.social, an Indigenous‑run server, has a bigger one, yet it’s invisible on Join Mastodon. It meets the covenant and supports safe Indigenous spaces. Help amplify this so it can be found. Boosts appreciated!@Yehuda @joinmastodon @Mastodon @Gargron @fediverse#Fediverse #Indigenous #InclusiveTech

Important announcement, especially for BSD Cafe friends who don’t have a local account.Over the past few days I noticed that, when browsing some public pages on our Mastodon server (especially the federated timeline, meaning posts coming from other instances as well), certain content could appear without a CW and in some cases it was pornographic, illegal, or generally not suitable for a general audience.The problem is that this was visible even to users who were not logged in, which effectively made BSD Cafe a gateway to that content. Also, some media files are cached on our server, so it could look like BSD Cafe is the source of it.For this reason I had to make a decision: I have disabled the ability for non-logged-in visitors to view posts coming from other instances.This way, anyone visiting BSD Cafe without an account will only see BSD Cafe local content, helping us avoid potential issues, including legal ones.Some of you (from other instances) thought you had been blocked because you could no longer see your posts here, but that is not the case: your posts are still fully visible to local users, as usual.I have also re-enabled (at least for now) hashtag browsing, since BSD Cafe is one of the most well federated instances for BSD-related content and it would be a shame to lose that. However, I may reconsider this decision if it leads to problems.Let me know if you notice anything unusual.#BSDCafe #BSDCafeUpdates #BSDCafeAnnouncements #BSDCafeServices #Mastodon #Fediverse

#PSA #FediTips reminder to the #Fediverse that you can #block certain topics from your timeline, so they're either behind a warning or don't show up at all. This is is great if you have an account where you don't want to engage with distressing subjects: I have another account with several hashtags blocked as "politics".If your instance runs a #Mastodon interface, you can find this in the "Preferences" screen, under the "Filters" tab.My main recommendation is that everyone who isn't doing #moderation do this with #FediBlock, but people who follow that hashtag may also want to block other things.The Fediverse is built to be friendly and healthy, not to upset you: we don't need to drive "engagement" metrics for investors here.
