@Stem

I don't know, maybe @yunohost themselves can offer some advice?

@bencomp @mobilizon @Framasoft

Framasoft contacted GetTogether to suggest collaboration, but apparently they're headed in two significantly different directions, so the projects remained separate.

I think Mobilizon will be more like Facebook Events, while GetTogether is more like MeetUp?

It's the last few hours of crowdfunding for #Mobilizon, a free open federated alternative to Facebook Events:

https://joinmobilizon.org/en/

You can follow it here:

@mobilizon

It's already achieved its funding goals for events, groups and ActivityPub federation.

Further funds will go to mobile apps, UI development and advanced maps.

It's backed by @Framasoft , the free software organisation that backed PeerTube and many other alternatives.

You can view all of a person's posts filtered by hashtag by adding "/tagged/" to the end of their public profile address, then adding the hashtag.

For example, here is a link to all of switching.social's posts tagged #MastoTips:

https://mastodon.at/@switchingsocial/tagged/mastotips

This can be very useful for artists wanting to link to a portfolio, or writers wanting to link to articles about a topic.

You can also add these to your public profile page by going to Preferences > Edit Profile > Featured Hashtags

@vanyok @rf

Had a similar request at the end of last year, there didn't seem to be any?

@aab @balogic

Ah, yes, Retribute! It's quite new but the person who makes it has a good track record doing @funkwhale

Check it out 👍

@balogic

I'm not sure... payments are always difficult, there don't seem to be any obviously good solutions.

They're not self-hosted, and they're more like Patreon than Kickstarter, but the nearest I can suggest are @Liberapay (https://liberapay.com) and #OpenCollective (https://opencollective.com).

(I'll boost your post in case others have more appropriate suggestions.)

@jonathansampson @how

Hi Sampson!

Here's my feedback: why does Brave refuse to cut its ties with the head of Palantir? Do you enjoy taking money from the head of a surveillance organisation?

It's the equivalent of an anti-smoking charity being secretly owned by Philip Morris.

I'm guessing you will brush this off, but who a company is owned by is who ultimately controls the company.

@Tchambers

Just to make clear, following an account definitely helps federation happen 👍

If you want an account to be more visible on your instance, follow it.

@Tchambers

As far as I know, if you follow an account your instance will automatically show the latest posts from that moment onward.

However, I'm not sure how often instances update stats (followers, posts etc) for accounts you follow.
