When the new Mastodon design was released, I knew I would need a more powerful interface as I manage multiple accounts and there was no official support for that. So I worked on it periodically, when I had time, and now its 80% ready, with basic support and […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Someone asked me to given them an overview of the Broader Open Social Web. (I.e., the Fediverse (ActivityPub, etc), plus others — ATmosphere, Nostr, etc.) I guess I am creating a presentation.

What I would really, really love for #Ghost: the ability to embed my #ActivityPub posts / replies / reblogs into a sidebar within a Ghost theme. I don't anticipate this being officially supported anytime soon, but it might be possible to do client-side rendering in JavaScript as a workaround?

It seems as if Meta/Facebook is going to merge accounts across Facebook, Instagram, etc. Threads wasn't explicitly mentioned, so wonder if that will come along with Instagram. I wonder if this will affect identity at all. #facebook #instagram

RE: mastodon.social/@pixelfed/117234465… I found a clever and efficient way to handle translations offline, with 59 supported languages and built in language detection. We also cache translated text using Tanstack Query, and use your device language to check only visible […]

A little scoop before Oct 7, when ICANN publishes 1,000+ applications for new top-level domains: one of them is .bsky! It's a long road (18 to 24 months), but if it goes through, handles like alice.bsky become possible.
