well well well…

I said a few days ago I will change the face of the Fediverse… This wasn't a lie!

I introduce you to Indra, a brand new ActivityPub server made by me and myself!
(I got help about AS/AP specs/behaviour from nice people )

For 3 weeks, I worked night and weekend.
It's pretty basic and rough (no client interface, basic Server to Server communication, don't try following me, it's not implemented yet lol)

I'm proud to announcing it today

Sure, you can already fetch the very federated post:

Please don't bully my server too much, I'm not even sure it won't explode during flight lol

Project's website: https://indra.social
(it's almost empty )
Source code: https://codeberg.org/indra/indra

sure you can boost/share/renote/announce/whatever this post

further info:
I made it in the same spirit as Pleroma (❤️ :pleroma_fox_tan: ) something light and multipurpose
Instead of being a big monolithic server (like almost all ActivityPub projects), I target it being modular with bricks you plug-in to add functionalities or behaviours

Laughing, screaming and crying all at once.

Hello World! Just changed servers from Mastodon.art, loved it over there but I would like more blend in my feed. I’m a designer/photographer/painter that was the biggest fan of Twitter until recent changes.. now it’s time for something new. Follow me if you like random #art and #photography with a dash of #blackmastodon seasoning. Attached is a character I recently created named “Bug.” #introduction

I guess it’s a good time for an introduction

Hi! I’m Bailey. I’m genderfluid, trans, and non-binary. I’m a bi lesbian (yes, we exist) and poly

I like to do pretty much all fiber arts, write short stories, write and play ttrpgs, play retro games, and I’m a bit of a retro tech enthusiast

I’m deeply hopeful to start making zines now that I’ve finally collected enough cast-off office equipment to publish at home

Hello #bookstodon! I am the author of OBVIOUSLY, ALIENS, a funny novel about aliens coming to earth and the mismatched duo who have to help them. I’m currently working on a new #sff novel about a pilot who has to work with her ex-boyfriend to save a lost teenage girl.

Timed muting of accounts is an amazing feature of #Mastodon. I'm trying to get a 'clean' timeline, but I don't want to directly unfollow or fully mute some accounts, just because they are tooting a lot about a certain topic that I might not be interested in right now. Muting them for a few hours or a day allows me to cleanup my feed, while not hiding future content that I might be more interested in.

This Saturday is the grand opening of the Grothendieck Institute https://igrothendieck.org/
The Institute's goal is partly to promote topos theory and its applications, partly to study the still unpublished writings of Alexandre Grothendieck.

Ah, writers of the 18th century 📜 Why would you simply say 'brothel' when you could say 'seminary for initiating youth in the mysteries of the Paphian Queen' ... ?

If you are interested (and I was curious), here is a list of the all-time most popular (i.e. followed) profiles on Mastodon (this list rotates every 5 minutes): https://getstarted.social/interest_group/all-time-most-popular/

Here's a note by the creator, @adam, who says that he did *not* scrape user profiles, but he used pre-existing lists of Mastodon users: https://mastodon.adamgeitgey.com/@adam/109313972852991428.

If you want to remove yourself from his project, here's a link to his profile, so you can contact him to ask to be removed: https://mastodon.adamgeitgey.com/@adam.
