A quick note on Nolto.
On 15 March 2026 its creator Jonathan Tensetti intentionally closed the service and deleted his Fediverse account.
What he built - Europe’s second decentralised LinkedIn alternative on ActivityPub - was gloriously vibecoded but effective. It showed, with hard data and testimonials, that the demand for a sovereignty-respecting professional platform is real.
I had been working in parallel: detailed research on technical choices, product mechanics, business-model viability under distributed/FOSS conditions, and how to test everything in practice for such a product. Nothing yolo — but nothing yet proven in production either. Jonathan precluded me by just yolo'ing the Nolto MVP. Thanks for that.
To move from proven demand to a solid, maintainable product I need proper capital, runway and possibly 1-2 additional people.
I'm looking for European-aligned funding - preferably from Germany, Poland or Denmark - networks that value independence and data protection without the usual bureaucratic overhead.
If you know the right people in those circles, please connect me with them before the current momentum fades.
Serious replies and boosts appreciated.

Dear #fediverse #queer #cycling community, I’m searching for people to accommodate me from Friday to Sunday @ #amsterdam 🏳️‍🌈🚲 Does someone has a free couch I could sleep on or knows someone who knows someone..? :)

Thanks to everyone who attended the #NOAW unconference, & @manfredzielinski & @douwe from the @gemeenteamsterdam for all their support!

It was a pleasure to be a harbour for a great variety of space ships in the #fediverse

Main takeaway:
We ALL want to see more public institutions on the #Fediverse & there are people working on it.

More to be followed.. Stay tuned!

Hey everyone,

@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Hussein shamia (@huseinshamia93)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

https://gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

One of the hardest parts about joining a new social network is the cold start problem. You sign up, you follow nobody, your feed is empty, and you bounce.

We've all been there.

Starter Kits are our answer to that.

Meet Fedibook!

The idea came from thinking about what it actually takes to get regular users onto the fediverse. Mastodon is great (i love it), but the follow-based model feels unfamiliar to some. Friends and Groups though — that's something everyone already understands.

So Fedibook is a fediverse platform built around exactly that, using ActivityPub. Think federated address book meets social network, with the kind of social graph people are already used to.

Current status:

- Friend requests across servers working
- News feed working, with visibility levels: public, friends-only, or local server only

Hoping to open up for early testing and feedback soon. Open source of course.

New instance, new #introduction. This is my second instance, and it feels rather like moving house: familiar & foreign at the same time.

I like to fix things and participate in our local #RepairCafe. I also play Bass Clarinet with our local concert band.

I am enthusiastic about the power of the #Fediverse, and hope to continue contributing to this funny, serious, familiar, and foreign place.

Ich appelliere an alle Rheinland-Pfälzer heute wählen zu gehen! Nutzt eure Stimme! Meine Frau und ich haben bereits per #Briefwahl gewählt und wir sind gespannt, wie das Ergebnisse heute Nachmittag/Abend aussehen wird.

Wer noch unentschlossen ist, der sollte sich ein paar Minuten Zeit nehmen und die Fragen des #Wahlomat durchgehen. Das kann durchaus eine Hilfe sein.

Hi #fediverse. We need to talk about something.

While talking to a colleague about lockpicking it came up that they have never picked a lock. Like, not even once in their childhood.

Another colleague listening in admitted they also have never picked a lock.

My hypothesis is that most people have at one point in their life picked a lock.

Have you picked a lock?

Please boost for scientific accuracy.

On the top panel you see the girl frowning and waving away while wearing a surgical mask and sunglasses, saying no to the word "covid". On the bottom panel, the same girl, this time smiling, is holding a crow on her index finger, next to her there is the word "corvid".

Just released v0.2.0 of ties, the self-hosted federated bookmark manager!

The big highlights are website archiving and full-text search functionality.

This has been in the works for almost half a year. A lot of thought has gone into making this smooth to use, robust and secure by default. I'm looking forward to hearing feedback!

So, an interesting issue came up in the #Fedify repo that I've been thinking about: #629.

You know how every #fediverse server uses schema:PropertyValue in actor attachment for profile metadata fields (like “Website”, “GitHub”, etc.)? Turns out, strict #AS2 validators like browser.pub reject it, because the AS2 spec says attachment should only contain Object or Link—and PropertyValue is a schema.org type, not an Activity Streams 2.0 type.

The thing is, we can't just drop the type like we did with Endpoints (#576), because Mastodon and others rely on seeing "type": "PropertyValue" to render profile fields. But at the same time, it's technically not spec-compliant.

I'm leaning towards writing a #FEP to formalize this existing practice rather than trying to invent a new type (like toot:PropertyValue extending Object), which would be a nightmare to migrate across the whole fediverse.

What do you all think? Has anyone else run into this? Would love to hear thoughts from implementers and spec folks.

So, an interesting issue came up in the #Fedify repo that I've been thinking about: [#629].

You know how every #fediverse server uses `schema:PropertyValue` in actor `attachment` for profile metadata fields (like “Website”, “GitHub”, etc.)? Turns out, strict #AS2 validators like [browser.pub] reject it, because the AS2 spec says `attachment` should only contain `Object` or `Link`—and [`PropertyValue` is a schema.org type][1], not an Activity Streams 2.0 type.

The thing is, we *can't* just drop the type like we did with `Endpoints` ([#576]), because Mastodon and others rely on seeing `"type": "PropertyValue"` to render profile fields. But at the same time, it's technically not spec-compliant.
