Deutsche Freunde des #Fediverse
In diesen Tagen mit unsicherem Wetter könnte es nützlich sein, Wettervorhersagen direkt in eurer Timeline zu erhalten! 🌦️

#FediMeteo (https://fedimeteo.com) ist ein Projekt, das Daten von #OpenMeteo verarbeitet und sie land- und stadtweise im Fediverse, auf der Webseite der jeweiligen Stadt und über RSS veröffentlicht.

Alle 6 Stunden aktualisiert und veröffentlicht ein freundlicher Bot die Wetterdaten.

Wie funktioniert es?
➡️ Folgt der Seite eurer Stadt im Fediverse.
➡️ Wenn ihr noch keine Vorhersagen seht, folgt ihr wahrscheinlich noch niemand.
➡️ Beginnt, ihr zu folgen, und beim nächsten Zyklus erhaltet ihr die Updates!
🔗 Im Folgenden der Link für Deutschland und die Liste der derzeit unterstützten Städte.

Friends from Canada on the #Fediverse / Amis du Canada sur le #Fediverse

In these days of unpredictable weather, you might find it useful to get the forecast right in your timeline! 🌦️

En ces jours de météo incertaine, vous pourriez trouver utile de recevoir les prévisions directement dans votre fil d’actualités ! 🌦️

#FediMeteo (https://fedimeteo.com) is a project that fetches weather data from #OpenMeteo and publishes it — country by country, city by city — into the Fediverse, on each city’s page and via RSS.

#FediMeteo (https://fedimeteo.com) est un projet qui utilise les données de #OpenMeteo pour publier les prévisions météo — pays par pays, ville par ville — dans le Fediverse, sur la page de chaque ville et aussi via RSS.

Every 6 hours, a friendly bot updates and posts the weather report.

Toutes les 6 heures, un petit bot sympa met à jour et publie la météo.

📌 How does it work?
➡️ Follow your city’s account in the Fediverse.
➡️ If there are no posts yet, it just means no one is following it yet.
➡️ Start following, and from the next cycle, updates will appear in your timeline!

📌 Comment ça marche ?
➡️ Suivez le compte Fediverse de votre ville.
➡️ Si aucune publication n’apparaît encore, c’est sans doute que personne ne la suit pour le moment.
➡️ Commencez à la suivre et, au cycle suivant, les prévisions arriveront dans votre fil !

🔗 Here’s the link for Canada and the list of currently supported cities.

As a pacifist, what I love most about the Fediverse is how it feels like a shared search for peace. We have Caturday, when everyone posts cat pictures every Saturday. There's Mosstodon, which is all about sharing beautiful photos of moss and nature. And we have SilentSunday, where people post calm outdoor and nature photos. Even with all the chaos in the world, the Fediverse has a way of calming my mind.

For those who want to watch yesterday's live chat on Fireside Fedi, here’s the link to the full video. We talked about the BSD systems, FediMeteo, snac, the BSD Cafe, the Open Source world, the Fediverse and... spaghetti

The lack of an algorithm sometimes makes me lose track of my timeline. And that’s okay.

Because in return, as I scroll, I come across boosts and posts from people I don’t know. Real people - not bots, not paid influencers pushing a product.

I see stunning photos taken by someone with just 10 followers - photos I’d never see on a commercial platform. I read opinions, ideas, and advice from everyday people, like me, passionate and eager to share their thoughts with others.

This is what the Fediverse is about: communication, sharing, dialogue - not numbers.

#Signal adoption is really going well in the #Netherlands, these last few months! Found this lying on the coffee table in a church, yesterday—instructions on how to install Signal for the parishioners. Every day I get notifications for more contacts who've joined.

Getting my friends off #Meta and on the #Fediverse is going... less well. But I try not to let perfect be the enemy of good.

Old post, but still relevant – maybe even more relevant today than it was in 2023.

#MyNotes #OwnYourData #Fediverse #Mastodon

3 THINGS I'm grateful for when it comes to the #Fediverse:

1: I (almost) never see any AI slop. I'm subscribed to @404mediaco and I'm constantly horrified by their articles on AI slop - so common on Meta platforms. Not here. So #ThankYouFedi.

2: I'm never force-fed content by people I don't follow – so common in other places where algorithms rule. My time & attention are treated with RESPECT.

3: People here protect the privacy of children / don't post their pics. Consent is BIG. #ThankYouFedi

Machines speak in crowds,
burning power just to lie.
I want someone real.
