You don’t get rid of all your things when you move house 🏠 So why should you when you move to a new social platform? This is one of the reasons we love the Social Web. You get to control your space and you get to keep your stuff, no matter where you go! If you’re interested, we’re happy to chat 🙂

Climate and energy expert, @costasamaras.bsky.social is one of many thought leaders who have bridged their Bluesky account to the fediverse.

As we see Threads open federation to more territories, more people are connecting across the social web!

You can connect too by following @ap.brid.gy

Hi! Is there a way to include reposts from users on a list? I'm trying to build a Feed of users bridged from the Fediverse but importing them as a List doesn't import their reposts which is essential. Thanks!

Threads API is the big news of the week. But what if Mastodon's fedi:creator footnote tells a bigger story? While the Threads API takes us down a well worn path, re-centring the #Fediverse on blogs, podcasts, forums and curation takes us somewhere new. See you there!

Hi Belen, we understand concerns around Threads. Ideally, we'd get posts in front of Threads users & control what comes back. Hopefully people will start to understand the benefits of the social web & migrate to healthier spaces like this!

"Later this week, @newsmastfoundation.org will also open up its API to developers, which means your preferred Mastodon app could integrate with Newsmast’s Communities ... This plug-in server architecture is an idea of how things could work differently in the world of decentralized social media." 👀

A typically chaotic day in British politics. With a #GeneralElection set for July 4th we're ready for fresh energy 🥂

We exist to promote Fedi & the social web so we'll be paying close attention to digital policy moves and how we can raise awareness of the social web, whatever the result. #Politics
