Great article on @iftas and IFTAS Connect...

"IFTAS Connect offers a comprehensive suite of resources, as well as internal communication tools for the community. This launch is a big first step towards ramping up the organization’s efforts to provide high-quality offerings to admins and moderation teams. Rather than simply being a platform, it’s a community effort to share insider knowledge and provide information, guides, and mentorship...."

Iceshrimp: A #csharp fediverse platform

Was just told (by @Subversivo ) about this: https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp.net

#Iceshrimp are rewriting the whole thing (a JS/Node #misskey / #firefish fork) in C# with Blazor for the frontend.

Cool to see. Should handle the performance issues that have plagued the *key forks and maybe provide a new general branch of fediverse platform.

What lang/stack isn't represented on the fediverse now? C++, Kotlin?

Since Mangane is unknown to most of you here’s an explainer.

There are three main microblogging flavours of the Fediverse:

1. Mastodon, Glitch, Hometown, etc.
2. Misskey, Firefish, Sharkey, etc.
3. Pleroma, Akkoma, etc.

For atomicpoet.org. I used to use Pleroma but I’ve migrated to Akkoma. The Pleroma/Akkoma flavour is quite unique in that, not only is it perhaps the most resource efficient—it allows you to use different front-ends.

This is where Mangane becomes interesting because it is an incredibly user-friendly and attractive front-end developed by @clovis. And, in fact, I think it provides the most user-friendly and attractive UI/UX on the Fediverse.

Three servers that use Mangane are:

• bdx.town
• social.wedistribute.org
• atomicpoet.org (this one)

Why am I so enthusiastic about Mangane? Because not only is it good-looking and user-friendly, it provides excellent rendering for text-formatting. And its management of reposts (both regular and quoted) is spectacular.

Anyway, I’ve been testing Mangane for months. I’ve been using it on a live server for two weeks. I’m pleased with the results.

Friendica and Bluesky's AT protocol

@fediverse

Friendica has always stood out for being able to manage multiple communication protocols, surpassed in this only by Hubzilla (a software that I have never been able to appreciate, however).
It would be nice if Frindica could integrate Bluesky's AT protocol as well. Do you know if there is any feasibility study on this new frontier?
