After more than 2 years on mastodon.design, I’ve decided to move my account to social.lol. One of the main reasons was the defederation of some instances, which cut me off from a lot of creators and designers I wanted to stay connected with. Huge thanks to the mastodon.design team for hosting […]

welcome to Squircle Jail idiot

wanderer, a self hosted trail logging app, has added federation via ActivityPub. You can now follow, like and comment on trails shared from other instances. https://wanderer.to/ #activitypub #fediverse

Working on the Pixelfed layout (early MVP). Curious to hear your thoughts: which version do you prefer, and why?

🤯 https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/pull/3943

This app really intrigues me, especially considering who would use it and why, given that social media platforms already exist https://9to5google.com/2025/06/08/google-pixel-vips-update/

mastodon lacks rss feed support

Earlier this year, I had the occasion to design a new logo for the video sharing app @loops 😊 Turning the play symbol into a Möbius strip-like design reintroduces the notion of “loop” into the icon. I also created several animated versions, playing with the […] [Original post on mastodon.design]

I subscribed to @medium like two days ago, and I’m already in love with it Minimal app, super clean, and packed with great content. Kinda wild to see how good it is 😍

My designer friends, what are your impressions of Contra? Now that read.cv is gone, I’m looking for a new home to showcase my work https://contra.com

We’re exploring what a truly ethical, open, and human-centered social platform could look like — and your voice matters. Whether you’re a creator, a casual scroller, or just curious about alternatives to Big Tech — we’d love to hear from you. https://tally.so/r/nWQREv Let’s rethink social […]

The days of Goggle Docs are ending. Welcome to the age of Docs. Developed by France, Germany, and the Netherlands, Docs is a crucial step toward digital sovereignty. For too long, a few private entities have controlled vital digital infrastructure, leaving governments dependent on corporate […]

Things I wish #mastodon had that I'm missing very much after spending time on Bsky: In order of importance: 1. Feeds. Which over here would be lists with WAY more options. So follow multiple hashtags, keywords and people. And lots of filtering and sorting options. 2. The ability to see all […]

Say hi to my new design intern 😽

try not to be confused: extreme level

Designer wanted! We're looking for someone to design a logo and icons for Open Infrastructure Map. This is a paid contract. More info & how to apply: https://github.com/openinframap/openinframap/discussions/216 #OpenStreetMap #design #webdesign

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

You know, the #UX of #Mastodon would be that much more friendly if only those "Hide" and "ALT" buttons didn't get in the way of every image in one's feed. So often these days, images have text in them -- and wouldn't you know it, the text is often blocked […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

I've been trying Beeper since this morning and all I can say is that it will surely be my best app of 2025, its secure, open source and it can be self-hosted, truly amazing 🤯

The Fediverse should totally be more silly. Play around with the format more. Do shit that might not make sense on corporate platforms but that are human and weird and just some fucking fun. https://icosahedron.website/@halcy/114184973143804131

Telling people to “host your own” when some big company closes or buys a service is very similar to the princess who, when learning that the peasants had no bread, said: “Let them eat cake.” Hosting your own is a solution for the gifted and wealthy few, for many it’s blatant cynicism. a […]

thanks for the shoutout 🫶 https://mastodon.design/@Admin/114094770121921158

I love it! Envisioning the Future of iOS Design. https://iosvisionos.framer.website

Bluesky introduces reply controls. This is a tough UI design as there are quite a few ways to combine restrictions. Easy to make it too complex and then no one uses it. This level of control is making its way into the fediverse as well. Bonfire and […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Valentine’s Day for my dude #plushtodon

to be honest I really like the first two: - the first one to discover local and public feeds - the second one to show that an account is federated https://owo.cafe/@stage7/113034396992621267

🚀 Mastodon Alt-Text generator Important improvements to the script! 📸 1️⃣ Replaced status and media_ids[] with a more robust update function. 2️⃣ Improved HTML tag handling with smart cleaning to preserve line breaks. 3️⃣ Added an infinite loop with a 60s delay to continuously analyze […]

With all due respect to their work, I'm honestly not a fan of the timeline font used on Tapestry iOS app. I try to change it to the system font but it requires premium subscription 🫠

Meta is an evil company. Now it's filtering, and in some cases banning, discussions -- and users -- mentioning Linux. https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/facebook-flags-linux-topics-as-cybersecurity-threats-posts-and-users-being-blocked

I can't agree more with u @adam Let people choose what instance they want to block https://notes.neatnik.net/2025/01/framing-federation

We received a lot of strong applications for our Senior Front-end role at @Mastodon, but @inga_nomads and I would like to see more diverse candidates in our initial pool. Do you know of any communities (forum, Slack, Discord, newsletter…) with a diverse audience and a focus on front-end […]

reminder for all programmers, database admins and UX designers that people's birthdays can and do legally change (mine did: the government accidentally assigned me one year old at birth)

to all therRead.cv folks who built their portfolios on the platform: with it shutting down in a few weeks, where are you planning to move your portfolios?

it's an honor to contribute to the pixelfed redesign, huge thanks to @dansup and @pixelfed for their trust and support ! https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/113828234980174208 #fediverse #pixelfed #uidesign #uxdesign #freelance

I’m really enjoying Surf, Flipboard’s new app that brings a fresh and original approach to social browsing. I started testing it yesterday (huge thanks to @miaq), and I’m absolutely loving how easy it is to use by simply connecting my Mastodon account […] [Original post on mastodon.design]

I think most instances should limit thread federation instead of immediately blocking the instance. This approach could allow users to make choices rather than relying solely on the admins’ opinions RE: https://indieweb.social/@tchambers/113806744756292355

[nsfw] this is not safe for work

im absolutely convinced that creating a googleplus alternative in the fediverse would have an insane potential. I would totally love to design and iterate on it, I would just need frontend & backend devs 🙌 if you wanna talk abt that, please reply to this post or email me at [email protected] […]

#imo users should have the option to decide whether they want to see threads content or not

The Material You redesign of our Android app came out quite early in the year but it's another highlight. I maintain that it must be one of the most beautiful apps on Android. The design is so clean. It makes me wish I had an Android phone.

@mosseri just announced that #threads users can finally follow fediverse accounts. Which means you can now reach 200M people from your Mastodon account without ever using Threads yourself. True decentralization happens on the fediverse!

hi and welcome, threads folks! can you see my posts over there ? 🤓

I think it's going to be more important than ever that #mastodon and the #fediverse are not centrally operated out of the US like almost every other social media platform out there.
