  • MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.

    It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

    What makes it different:

    • snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
    • Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
    • EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
    • Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
    • Markdown posting for snac
    • Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
    • Blocking and moderation tools
    • Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

    Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

    It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

    Important note:
    MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

    The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

    Stay tuned.

  • @Zoufalec @mastoblaster @napierge Thank you for your feedback! The multi-account feature should be working correctly, but I will do some extra checks on my end. As for the rest, this is the very first beta of a new app, and the TestFlight phase is meant exactly for this: to help development and fix things that aren't working yet.
    I'm taking note of your comments and will work to improve everything.

  • Hi #fediverse and #ActivityPub developers!

    I'm currently working on interoperability testing for #Hollo and #Fedify, and I need a #Bonfire account to test federation with their implementation.

    Since there aren't many open public Bonfire instances available, I was wondering if any Bonfire instance admins out there would be willing to grant me a test account? It would be a huge help for improving interop! Let me know if you can help. Thanks!

  • @stefano @mastoblaster @napierge
    I installed it, tried it, and uninstalled it. 1. I was unable to add more accounts. 2. Switching to "federated" in the timeline is complicated; you have to click on it and then select it. 3. Incorrect display of toots. Incorrect display of media, incorrect display of threads in replies.
    I didn't try anything else. Maybe it will improve over time, and then I'll be happy to use your app.

  • @nabeards @mastoblaster both the accounts are fine - as I'm reading both of them 🙂

    Running a community in the Fediverse means balancing openness with safety. Every year, @iftas takes the pulse of administrators, moderators, and community managers with their Annual Needs Assessment. This survey helps identify what’s working, where support is needed, and which tools can make a difference for those keeping decentralized spaces safe.The 2025 survey is now openTake part in the IFTAS Needs Assessment (5–10 minutes).Take the survey now(If you haven’t seen them before, you can also take a look at last year’s report)Last year’s responses represented moderators of over 4.3 million accounts across ActivityPub platforms. With WordPress now the largest group of federating instances, it’s especially important for our community of hosts, site admins, and moderators to be heard.Moderation in WordPress: From Site-Wide to Personal ControlsWe recently introduced a major update to the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress: personalized and site-wide moderation tools.Site administrators can now set domain, keyword, and actor-level blocks that protect the entire site.Individual users can fine-tune their own experience with personal blocks, managed directly from their profiles.Content is checked against both global and personal rules—so moderation works at every level.These improvements directly address needs raised in previous IFTAS surveys, making moderation more discoverable, flexible, and effective for WordPress communities in the Fediverse.Your Input MattersIFTAS uses the Needs Assessment to guide tools, policies, and advocacy that reflect the real-world challenges of moderators—especially those in under-resourced communities. The more representative the responses, the stronger the outcomes for everyone.If you’re running a federating WordPress site, please consider:Filling out the survey yourself.Sharing it with other admins, moderators, and community organizers.Reminding folks that it’s anonymous, quick, and impactful.Take the 2025 Fediverse Needs AssessmentTogether, we can keep building a safer, healthier Fediverse—one that reflects the needs of its communities.
