anyone have a link handy of that graph someone made of how much of the fediverse is hosted on OVH, AWS, etc?

I have spent the last two days working on making good quality SVG versions of the logo/symbols for #fediverse projects and I feel like it was worth it. I think the hard/less fun part of this project is getting them out there for all to use. I am pretty unfamiliar with submitting to Wikimedia Commons that is probably the best place for them to all live

#Mozilla just announced they are joining the #fediverse :fediverse:

"In early 2023, Mozilla will stand up and test a publicly accessible instance in the Fediverse at Mozilla.Social"

they will start with Mastodon, but are "looking forward to working on the challenges that crosscut the Fediverse"

I just learned that @maffsie has patched the very frustrating situation with how account links are handled in Mastodon 4+

@skaverat kindly pointed me to the patch file: https://commit.pup.cloud/maff/queer.party/src/branch/master/patches/4.0.0_4-revert-captive-links.patch that looks to already be applied to https://queer.party

I am not a programmer and don't have the skills to apply this patch myself to an instance of Mastodon but I would love to hear how it goes if anyone else tries it.

the CEO of Flickr, who is now active here at @d0n, is wondering if #Flickr should implement #ActivityPub and become part of the #fediverse!

so we just had the biggest hourly signup ever (according to @mastodonusercount) right as twitter is having some issues with downtime #FediNews

TIL the mastodon instance https://c.im implemented #misskey's "is a cat" feature and @BlackAzizAnansi (someone who just moved here with a rather large following on twitter) has it enabled

we just had a peak influx two hours ago of 8k new accounts in an hour! the the onslaught has sped up!!!

Greta Thunberg (@gretathunberg) just joined the #fediverse and announced it to their 5 million followers on twitter!

#mastodon's official patreon just reached $12k a month!
The goals of this amount have been set as:
Multiple developers for the main project
Multiple developers for official iOS/Android apps
Multiple UX designers
Hosting of mastodon.social, mastodon.online, joinmastodon.org and related services

so for new people who want to #contribute financially: your local servers can always use help, and other software that makes up the #fediverse almost always accept donations!

the #fediverse / #mastodon is on the front page of CNN right now
https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/05/tech/mastodon/index.html

this influx might be bigger then we realized...

#mastodon is the number two trending thing on US twitter rn. probably part of the reason for the crazy influx we are having

You can now move from followers from a #Mastodon account to a #Pleroma account (and vice versa) if the Pleroma instance is on the Develop branch.

Merged here if you are interested in the details:

the #fediverse is on the front page of techcrunch at the moment

https://techcrunch.com/2022/10/31/mastodons-microblogging-app-saw-a-record-number-of-downloads-after-musks-twitter-takeover/
