The official Mastodon app really needs to add support for the "Local" timeline.

It was (presumably) left out because on larger servers it's an overwhelming firehose and seems useless.

However, on smaller servers it's a really important way to build a sense of community.

Instances like https://social.chinwag.org put a lot of work into making their local timeline pleasant for their members, and they have withdrawn from the https://JoinMastodon.org directory in protest at the lack of Local support in the official app. This is a bad sign, it shows something has gone wrong in relations with smaller instances.

Small servers are really good for Masto, because the more small servers there are, the harder it will be for any amoral billionaires to try to buy up the network.

If you agree that the Local timeline should be added to the official app, please add thumbs up to the relevant issues on GitHub:

Registro delle opposizioni: dal 13 aprile entrano in vigore le nuove norme, mentre a partire dal 31 luglio il registro verrà esteso anche a tutti i numeri di cellulare. Multe fino a 20 milioni di euro e fino al 4% del fatturato annuo per le imprese che violano le regole

@Gargron Mastodon should move on from [[boolean thinking]], could like/follow relationships carry floats or ints? :)

I want to follow some people more than others, in the sense that their posts should be ranked higher in feeds.

Diamo il benvenuto a due nuove istanze mastodon italiane!! 🎉

Privacy error: https://privacy-error.it, è un'istanza dove si parla di privacy digitale, sicurezza su internet, software open source e informatica, gestita da @rik

e si aggiunge l'istanza di Ukraine Help: https://masto.emergenzehack.info/@UkraineHelpIT su cui verranno inseriti i bot automatici con le richieste di aiuti per i rifugiati ucraini. L'account principale (con meno messaggi giornalieri) rimane questo: @UkrainehelpIT

I’ll say it again. Blogs are the best.

I’ll go one step further, personal websites are the best.

@loweel ActivityPub has enabled more than a dozen independent software implementations to cooperate in the largest, to-date, decentralized social network. And if it's "a mess" because it takes a developer a bit longer to implement properly, then it's more than worth it, because that's a thing that happens once per implementation and just shouldn't count in the grand scheme of things.

It's also preposterous to assume another protocol would be simpler and maintain the same applicability.

@Gargron Indeed. Bluesky should just adopt ActivityPub and be done with it.

@kenobit leggendo i commenti sembra che siamo in un centro di riabilitazione. Tutti che stanno abbandonando, smettendo, riprendendosi. Tutto ciò è meraviglioso.
Non so bene dove si andrà a parare e/o quanto durerà, per ora godiamoci il momento e il livello segreto.
