The news of Bluesky and the fediverse of the last 2 weeks, summarised with the most relevant points for Farcaster: - Meta degrades their fediverse integration, delaying posts by 15 mins before they get send over to the rest of the fediverse - Swiss government shuts down their mastodon server due to lack of engagement - A new foundation for the fediverse launches. It is supported by quite some prominent organisations in the fediverse, including Meta. Many independent fedi developers are pretty pissed off about this however, due to Meta's participation - the temporary DID system for Bluesky is now permanent as DID:Public Ledger of Credentials, paving the way for the next step in decentralised identity management on atproto links in next post

is there a feed that displays the top posts of the network of the last 7 days (or 24h)? this dashboard lists the top posts, but if I want to read them I have to open them individually. I want to browse them as a feed. Is that available somewhere? https://dune.com/queries/3194474/5338156

The highlights of this weeks news of Bluesky and the fediverse: - Bluesky now has 10 million accounts, and around 5.5m mau - Most growth comes from the Brazilian community after Brazil banned X (around 4m) - Mozilla.social, a mastodon server by mozilla shuts down after it never left closed beta - Mastodon gets a small grant to start building a Relay and Discovery system for the network - Bluesky now has video - A major viral moment (a politician hitting another with a chair during a tv debate) shows that the main brazilian community is happening on bluesky, but not on Threads https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-84/ https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-the-atmosphere/

its hard not to read it as the EC trying to pick a fight with Meta via the DMA, and that Meta has won and the EC has lost dont see how any app trying to get whatsapp interop will deal with the hard req of only allowing users in the EEA https://matrix.org/blog/2024/09/whatsapp-dma/

yo @dwr.eth since were talking about different decentralised protocols, this might interest you as well: Threads' fediverse integration has very low uptake, the mastodon.social server (which has a quarter of total mau in the entire activitypub world) has connected with 15k federated threads accounts

Bluesky is a brazilian network now, almost 80% of posts are in brazilian portuguse. its also the most active network for president lula, he gets significantly more engagement there than on threads (which has 10x follows) things need to settle down again to give a clear answer how this impacts user and dev culture

current state: - you can follow threads accounts from mastodon (and other fedi platforms) if they have fediverse sharing turned on - if you reply/like from mastodon this shows up again in threads - you cannot follow mastodon accounts from your threads account - non-reply posts from mastodon dont show up in threads
