So on [email protected] I saw a lot of bots posting links to obvious scam websites (enter personal details and do "human verification“ to win an iPhone). What’s the best way to get the attention of a moderator or an admin (because I don’t think this sub is moderated at all) to remove these posts
Germany once again leading the Mastodon Migration
Full text search has been merged in #Mastodon main branch, and will be in the next (and final?) 4.2.0 beta 🎉 It is opt-in, so it will take some time to be filled with people content as they enable their profile to be indexed, but this was one of the most wanted Mastodon features for some time. We plan to deploy it to...
Honestly, when it comes to the Fediverse, I find that seeing these posts on my Mastodon Account is really useful!...
When joining or returning to a service with potentially hundreds of servers, it's possible to get mixed-up about what part of the network you joined on. Pixelfed has a handy new feature to put you on the right path again.
A brand new messaging app is coming to the Fediverse, and it's all thanks to the creator of Pixelfed.

Unsure if this fits here, but the tool's been quite fun to look through. It lets you look at specific Fediverse software and instances, see graphs for their growth. And there's even a whole section for the Threadiverse (Lemmy & Kbin)
I understand in any Foss project federated delete can be turned off by forking the project and removing it but I feel like for the vast majority of instances they won’t do that. I noticed Lemmy does not support federated delete leaving me unable to delete post from other instances. Is this planned?
As the Fediverse continues to grow, new challenges arise in community management and user safety. A new organization seeks to make it easier.

The decentralized Instagram alternative is a great option if you want to back up your feed, focus on photo-sharing, or cut loose from Meta's empire entirely. And making the leap is surprisingly easy.

Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they'll no longer be able to receive them on X....
There’s a crucial difference between federatable and federated.
Hey there!...
