Phew, that was hard! Finally have a Huginn workflow for syndicating Mastodon favs and boosts back to my personal site, from where I post (using #IndieWeb #webmentions).

Here's the scenario diagram: https://storage.5apps.com/basti/public/shares/180111-1545-mastodon-webmentions.png (blog post and Huginn gems coming soon).

"6 reasons why Mastodon won't survive" from April 2017: http://mashable.com/2017/04/05/mastodon-wont-survive/#kPr8akjqpaqV -- featuring 6 reasons that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. Meanwhile, the fediverse has been growing slowly but steadily, day by day, with people deleting more and more birdsite accounts.

Our little Mastodon instance is now federating with more than 1000 other instances/servers. It is literally a thousand different Twitters all talking to each other. Long live the fediverse! https://kosmos.social/about/more

Any other admins or users of Mastodon, GNU Social, postActiv or other Fediverse software at #sha2017 interested in meeting up during camp?

Had a great time cycling to OpenTechSummit and back with @jancborchardt@mastodon.social yesterday. Realized I should do way more social rides.

Anyone else in Berlin into cycling (fast-ish), and interested in a group ride this weekend or sometime next week?

Started using Mastodon/The Fediverse™ on April 6. Less than two months later, Twitter feels like a cheap, ad-ridden cable TV channel.

Random thought: what if Mastodon/OStatus instances would (optionally) be IPFS nodes, storing all their assets in IPFS and having other instances sync and re-distribute them? What if instance admins paying for AWS or similar could be replaced by community-financed, instance-specific pinning nodes, which retain all content that wasn't accessed recently?

Someone made an RSS-to-Mastodon service/program: https://toot.berlin/@blindcoder/180582

For people stuck on a certain corporation's ad-based service, here's the reply to my Autocrypt question: https://mastodon.xyz/users/HerraBRE/updates/114191

Sorry that I'm commenting on this all the time, but we're now approaching 1000 Mastodon instances. ONE THOUSAND. https://instances.mastodon.xyz/list

Current #fediverse status: 541 active Mastodon instances online, with 181,061 accounts. Unreal. https://social.lou.lt/users/mastodonusercount/updates/19865

Thanks to @nxd4n@mastodon.social, this toot was posted automatically from my Known website. Or as the #IndieWeb cool kids like to say: I'm now POSSEing my toots.

I wrote about how to cross-post from Twitter to Mastodon via IFTTT, but here's how to do it the other way around: https://medium.com/@pimterry/sync-your-mastodon-back-to-twitter-3c72f2bc8626

I tooted about how you can cross-post your tweets to a Mastodon account using nothing but IFTTT: https://kosmos.social/@raucao/3377

The character limit on #mastodon is such a relief! No more trying to cut like 10 characters with every other status.

If you're looking for a #mastodon instance to join, we've been testing and tuning https://kosmos.social for a while now. Signups are open.

https://instances.mastodon.xyz/ is now tracking more than 300 Mastodon instances. And that's not counting any other gnusocial/ostatus servers. \o/

The #mastodon fediverse is growing steadily, by about 500 users per hour: https://social.lou.lt/@mastodonusercount
