The PR to make #Ecko live on Yunohost was just created. https://github.com/YunoHost/apps/pull/1270
🤞
If your Mastodon admin is thinking about changing their instance colour scheme, this article might be useful to them:

The folks at Yunohost have built something very special.
#Ecko is now in the apps catalog but marked as 'inprogress' while some final touches are put on.
Extremely impressed by the user friendliness of their app packaging community and how the various scripts give output that humans can read.
Spent a good chunk of time today editing video with Blender and it's been a challenge, because I think of the variable frame rate video coming out of my camera.
Working with FOSS can be hard but it's worth it because the value I'm creating along the way belongs to the community. Tempted to analogize but I'll just say I'm going to be very satisfied once I have my FOSS video editing pipeline.

#FedeProxy is the project that aims to bring code forges - #Gitea, #Gitlab - to the #Fediverse to unite coders, foster collaboration.
When mentioning to others often I hear the name is non-descriptive, so I thought of another one (maybe):

https://forgefriends.org
Associations:

@farshidhakimy @feditips Yeah, it's always the same long standing issues coming up.
So @weex, you're proposing gossiping. My idea relies on DHTs instead, but I'm always happy about other approaches as well as this problem isn't trivial to solve.
I am not that familiar with gossiping, some of the apparent problems I had with that approach are to many intermediate nodes as possible censors, possible load balancing issues, and no access to posts before the start of subscription. Also I am not

If you want to be able to follow hashtags in Mastodon, please put a thumbs up on the following issue:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/1096
If you're a developer, maybe you could contribute to the code to make this possible?
Following hashtags would be really useful for discovering new people to follow. New people would find interesting content more easily too. It would help Mastodon and the Fediverse grow 🌱 👍
I've released version 2.0.0 of my RSS to ActivityPub converter! This now provides functionality I'd hacked in to https://rss.friend.camp - it requires OAuth 2.0 authorization for someone to create a new AP account for an RSS feed.
I used to run this service "in the open" but was overwhelmed by spammers. Now the admin of a Mastodon (or Pleroma or any federated server that is an OAuth 2 provider) can provide this converter as a service solely to members of their instance.

c4.social was just updated to the first known deployment of Ecko, Magic Stone's newly named fork of #Mastodon. Registration is open if you want to test it out.
In the coming weeks we'll be working through issues in the tracker including making it work on Yunohost!
Watch https://github.com/magicstone-dev/ecko for updates.
@weex I'm curious as to what the ecko fork is going to be about, but it doesn't explain in the readme
Hello friends! A few announcements...
1. C4Social is now Magic Stone.
2. Ecko is the new name for our fork of #Mastodon.
3. Acropolis is the new name for our fork of #diaspora*.
These new names are part of a transition from an experimentation phase into something more like testing.
For updates, Watch our repos at https://github.com/magicstone-dev/ecko and https://github.com/magicstone-dev/acropolis.
Anyone else having trouble connecting to #matrix? Specifically matrix.org through the Element web client.
To whomever voted, I invite you to create an issue at the new org and repo location; https://github.com/magicstone-dev/ecko/issues 😮
Anyone want to help define or code an API for Mastodon to talk to a web-of-trust-based moderation server? https://github.com/weex/wot-server/issues/10
