New blog post: How to implement a basic ActivityPub server https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/

honestly i'm so very sure i've lost a lot of friends due to lack of migration tools, im shocked that people can lie to themselves and think that migration tools not existing isn't this huge deal

coz its a Really Big Deal y'all, like, that's the one necessity if you're gonna make federated social media

not having migration tools = not federated

Okay, so where's the Fantasy epic where the cliché prophesy is twisted to serve the bad guy and the good guys have to defeat the chosen one to save the day?

Oh wait, that's Star Wars.

Oh hi, I'm new around here. I draw stuff. Especially #naked people because clothes are too mainstream.

Can I run a #Mastodon instance for my family without remote fellow/federation? Where can I configure this?

Very glad pleroma is expanding with more features daily. Hoping PixelFed and other activitypub compatible servers grow as well. I'm glad that the fediverse is so diverse in terms of people, software choices, and opinions. Plus it feels like I'm actually talking to real people on here. Pretty much what I'm trying to say is, fedi changed my life in a positive way overall and I'm glad I'm here.

@zatnosk We agree, the UI & UX has to be pixel perfect before a stable release!

everyone's all like YEAH ELEPHANTS but mastodons aren't actually elephants

it's kind of like going, I dunno, YEAH BEARS about Firefox

I'll do my master thesis in Sweden, Lund more precisely, in November. I'd like to live in Sweden on my own during one month before starting my thesis (1st october to 1st november). I'm looking for a place/roomate/squat/anything to live around Copenhague/Malmö/Lund during that time. A queer place would be the best but I'm open for any offer /advice/contact etc...

thank you !

I'm starting to enjoy programmers streaming their coding sessions on Twich / YouTube.

There's a lot you can learn from watching someone working on a piece of source code, voicing their entire thought process.

My personal favorites so far are "Fun Fun Function" and "JustForFunc". If you already discovered interesting channels, please share them with me!

@InspectorCaracal keep working on them no matter how cool the other ideas that occur to you sound. No matter how much you think they suck right now. No matter how much this big scary part of the project that you have to get done before doing the fun parts looks like a thing you’d rather avoid. Just pick some little trivial part of the big part and do something; if every part looks intimidating then just find the dumbest little part.

Just keep chipping away at it a little bit every day, or at least most days. Never beat yourself up for taking a while. Never promise to deliver it at a certain speed, or on a certain time. Though aiming for a certain speeds can help; my official promise to my readers on “Decrypting Rita” was “aim for two pages a week, don’t fret if life gets in the way” and I made that most weeks. But sometimes shit happened and I was able to just put the comic aside, or take forever on a page that needed it.

All you have to do is decide to forswear all other projects. (Except maybe for the occasional short one just to take a break, it’s complicated.)

Know when it will end. Or at least where you want it to end when you start; it may show you a better ending as it evolves. Or there may simply be an obvious structure to fill, as there was when I drew my Tarot deck.

Promise yourself that this is the one you want to finish. Keep working on it. Eventually it has enough inertia that it’s easier to keep going than to put it down.

CWs for DMs are still great btw.
