Products that do what Fedv.link – a way to share Mastodon links that can be interacted with does
One of the great, defining characteristics of the Fediverse is that it is on numerous, autonomous servers that all work together. You can follow other users on other servers — but sharing links to profiles and posts can be tedious. You can view the content on the origin server, but you need to be on the server hosting your account to boost, favorite, or follow. Much like how the mailto: link opens your preferred email application to let you email anyone, fedv.link links are designed to easily open ActivityPub posts and profiles in the end user's preferred server.

This is my attempt at helping those who are trying to ditch reddit but have not been satisfied with the content from Lemmy or haven't been able to find the corresponding communities. There are two sides to this project. The first one is that I have setup a Lemmy instance (alien.top) which is mirroring some of the reddit content from subreddits that I wanted to follow with the comments. The difference from most mirroring bots is that, instead of one single bot account mirroring all content, the system creates one account for each reddit user that is being mirrored. The other part of this idea…

This is an idea I've had for a while. Given recent events, I decided to finally implement it and see what happens. I assume if it gets any traction it will be banned. The bigger picture here is that Twitter's network of users and follow lists is potentially reverse-engineerable. Why not take that network graph and implement it in the Fediverse?

I’ve been building Oliphaunt, a native Mastodon client for macOS, as a solo project — designed to be fast, lightweight and feel right at home on the Mac. It’s not built with Catalyst or Electron framework. Key features: • Native macOS UI using AppKit with some SwiftUI integration (not a web wrapper) • Core Data for local caching • Responsive, keyboard-friendly interface • UX tailored for desktop-class Mac computers • Supports multiple accounts, cross-instance timelines and search You can try it via TestFlight (macOS 14+ Sonoma): https://testflight.apple.com/join/Epq1P3Cw…

Mastodon Quick Start In 280 Characters (Including This Title) 1) Pick a server at https://joinmastodon.org/ that admits new users. 2) Register account and confirm email. 3) Search for users or check out the "Trending" tab. 4) Follow and engage with users. Mastodon works like Twitter. ------- The whole guide including the headline are exactly 280 characters long :) The philosophy behind this is that it is more important to seize current ripples in the social media space and get people to check out decentralized social media than it is to have its principles understood. There…

There's a lot of great explainer sites and articles about the fediverse, but I wanted to make something that serves as a quick introduction for a more casual audience, and lets you dig deeper from there.
