We would love to see hyperlocal Mastodon (or other fediverse software) instances. See https://www.empathyforward.org/2025/12/community-based-fediverse-instances/ for more thoughts on it. Of course, there are responsibilities.

We’re working on a service that can help manage the list of blocked and limited servers to make it easier to create a welcoming community. We are also considering adding some spam detection abilities as well.

What other services would help you create a great Mastodon community?

Have there been any statements from fediverse admins on how they'd handle certain people, organizations, or government agencies that have generated controversy on Bluesky in the past, or, say, today?

Anyone put their site behind Cloudflare? It seems like a simple process with just A records. Is the performance and security worth it? I'm looking at the free plan for their CDN/Reverse Proxy/DDoS services.

Is there any important data that needs to be persistent in the redis database for Mastodon?
In other words - do we need to migrate the database between redis versions or can we nuke it and start all over again?

Wieso taucht dieses 3 Jahre alte PeerTube Video bei mir in der Timeline auf? Sowas hatte ich neulich schon mal und @ivory meinte es wäre bestimmt weil ich einem hashtag folgen würde, welches wohl auf der original Plattform wäre, Mastodon aber nicht anzeigen würde?! Jetzt habe ich mir den Beitrag im Web angeschaut und dort sind keine Hashtags verwendet worden. Wie man sieht wurde es auch nicht von jemanden dem ich folge geboosted!Also warum?!

But of course, this comes from my knowledge of doing moderation on an instant messaging platform. Are there more advance tools that exists that would allow preventative measures in content moderation? #fediadmins #fedimods #askfedi

Hello #swarmintelligence of the #Fediverse, how do you solve the problem when you want to install new software on an already known domain?
So in my case from #Lemmy to xxx (I'm not sure yet what it will be, maybe #Friendica). Because if the instance keys no longer match, communication will be rejected.
Mastodon introduced the self-destruct command for this, but Lemmy doesn't have anything like that.

🦉 PSA - with earthstream.social disappearing I almost lost Owls in Towels, but they are reconstituted at @owlsintowels

Recommend #FediAdmins / #MastoAdmins purge the earthstream.social domain, no self-destruct was sent as far as I can tell.

@meljoann oooo, I really like that you can create lists and host them wherever you want too. I've been using GoToSocial for months and I had no idea this feature was a thing :3

I know it's been very slow and not inclusive enough, but seeing fedi slowly adopt new moderation features has been nice. I'm thankful for the marginalized people who have demanded these features for years. Without them, none of this stuff would exist. Good on GoToSocial for prioritizing this in beta too :blue_heart_sparkles:

It will also be interesting to see if it can work with FASP, so that mastodon admins can also setup a service to relay them.

@AlsoPaisleyCat Maybe it would be helpful if instances manually approve new accounts (or use another form of verification — on our site, for example, you have to provide an account number before it gets activated). Yes, that might mean you’ll soon no longer be “one of the largest instances in Germany,” but instead a valuable part of our communication movement. #fediadmins

It was always bound to happen, but it appears that Bluesky’s CEO is currently pulling an elon and targeting users who call her out or who label others as transphobes.

Attached is an example of the latter.

#fediadmins , there are a lot of scared queers on that site that may be looking for a home on a fediverse instance… please try and be welcoming of any migrators over the next few weeks

Boosts appreciated to get the word out. Let’s build some more community 💜

@Lorker

sonst Versuch doch zumindest deine Posts mit Hashtags wie #fediadmin #fediadmins leichter auffindbar zu machen.

vielleicht kann die Community dir helfen, deine Fragen zur zu den Bots und potenziellen Föderationsschwierigkeiten zu beantworten
