GoToSocial seems like a promising alternative to Mastodon. It’s written in Go (👍 in my opinion), lightweight and pretty good documented so far. It’s still “alpha software” but seems to make great progress. In the past, I self hosted a microblog.pub instance and then after some time without any Fediverse profile other than my blog, which has ActivityPub support as well, signed up at Fosstodon to be able to reply to blog comments from the Fediverse. I already set up an instace of GTS, but will probably wait to use it … ⌘ Read more

@prologic@twtxt.net That is why yarn is better then something like activity pub. Everything over on activity pub tries to work with Mastodon not because its better but because its the most popular. Twtxt clients on the other hand tries to work with the yarn additions because most of the additions improve things even for twtxt users.
@prologic@twtxt.net I never tried out any of the other clients except jenny with mutt. The best thing about yarn vs something like Mastodon is that its more promoted of the specification of twtxt files instead of server part. Twtxt can be hosted on some free static site host or some git server even so its really low resouces. Just a basic text file. As far as I know yarn is mostly just a web ui around twtxt and an extnetion to the specification to add some more usability and modern things. Anyone can join decentrilized network by having a twtxt file somewhere. If you want to support the specification of twtxt then that is really something most projects don’t do and they promote the server software mostly.

JMP: Togethr: Soprani.ca Social
Last week we launched a sister product from the same team that brings you JMP: Togethr. Why are we launching a second product? Why now? What does this have to do with the mission of JMP in particular, or the Sopranica project in general?
Togethr is a managed hosting platform for small Fediverse instances. It is powered by the ActivityPub protocol that powers Mastodon, PeerTube, and so many others. While there are sev … ⌘ Read more

You guys/gals over at micro.blog see any new users join over Twitter™ buyout debacle from Elon Musk? 🤔We haven’t seen any join Yarn.social (yet) but allegedly ~30k joined Mastodon? ⌘ Read more
Mastodon 3.5 finally supports the Update ActivityPub activity. GoBlog supports sending updates for quite a while already, but only Pleroma showed the updated posts and not Mastodon. That would have been useful recently, when I posted “Spaces!” but wanted to post “Tabs!” and updated my post. 😅 ⌘ Read more
I’d like to see more attention put into carving out a subset of Mastodon’s functionality that would allow you to host your fediverse node on a static site, à la blog feeds powered by RSS/Atom. Mastodon 3.5 | Hacker News

Finally I have implemented a kind of trash in GoBlog. When I delete a post, it is first marked as deleted and can be restored within 7 days. Unfortunately the integration with ActivityPub is not that easy. ActivityPub allows to Undo a Delete activity, but Mastodon doesn’t support that, just like Mastodon doesn’t support Updates. 🙄 ⌘ Read more
Someone in #twtxt on libera.chat asked a question and pinged everyone, and then left. The question was “is twtxt compatible with mastodon?” The answer is no. It isn’t.

I’m back on twitter, kind of. I’m only using it to mirror posts from my mastodon account: [[https://twitter.com/yesthiswaspaul]].
Oooooh idea! I should use this for microblogging! Far superior to Twitter or Mastodon! ;P

@vain@www.uninformativ.de the truth is, i never “got” or liked twitter. i think it’s way too noisy and a terrible way to have a conversation, what with the character limit and all. and then mastodon came along and i thought it would be different, but then it became too twitter-like. i get what you mean about twtxt and discoverability, that is one of its drawbacks.
@vain@www.uninformativ.de i don’t think mastodon is a good idea but then again i never really understood the twitter format and its appeal, so there’s that.
@prologic@twtxt.net Yep! installed it yesterday. I like the simplicity of twt. I am quite happy with how little memory the pod seems to use. Mastodon and the “lightweight” Pleroma don’t work well in small VMs.
