Hello #Fosstodon! Our instance now supports both IPv4 and #IPv6! This should also include federation with IPv6-only instances. This has been our most requested feature on Fosstodon, so we’re super excited to add this support to our community.

2026-06-25 15:19:06 UTC

We’ve enabled the new email newsletter feature for all Fosstodon supporters! Once we have a good idea of how much this feature might impact our monthly operating costs, and we’ve determined the cost remains within our budget, we will roll this feature out to all users on Fosstodon!
If you have the supporter tag on your account, you can use this feature now. If you’d like to become a supporter you can visit https://hub.fosstodon.org/support

Hello again. We’re going to be holding off our defederation from .cloud until further notice after their team started taking moderation actions and announced server updates. There are ongoing discussions with their team about these issues and the future of the instance.

Again we encourage you to reach out to any accounts you follow on mastodon.cloud and ask them to migrate their accounts to an active server.
This is not only to allow them to continue to participate in the fediverse community but also for their own security, as mastodon.cloud is no longer a secure platform.

Secondly, their Mastodon software version has not been updated for an extended period of time and has known security vulnerabilities. We do not want to risk any exploits with those vulnerabilities that may affect our users.
An instance that is unmoderated and insecure poses a risk to other servers it federates with. The Fosstodon team did not take this decision lightly, and arrived here after months of observing these issues.

2026-04-19 15:22:51 UTC

There are comments asking us to elaborate so here are some more specific reasons why we will be defederating.
Firstly, mastodon.cloud’s admins have been unresponsive to us regarding large volumes of spam accounts and other coc-violating content registering to their server.
Their admin and moderation team are seemingly no longer active. With the server still in open registration, this allows more bad actors to create accounts without moderation and affect the experience of federated servers.

Hi all, we've made the decision to defederate with mastodon.cloud, due to the unfortunate neglect of the server. Mastodon.cloud was already limited by Fosstodon. We will complete the defederation in 72 hours. Please reach out to accounts you still follow on mastodon.cloud and encourage them to move, while you can still contact them as the defederation will break your follow.

We’re super excited to share we’re now on @nprofile…mvm4!
Our repositories will still mirror to GitHub, but we will be active on Codeberg. Give us a follow!

@npub1m26…2jhh That's very weird. I've never heard of anything like that. I put up a thread to the community and I'm looking for responses to see if anybody else has noticed it. When I did my test I didn't have Qutebrowser maximized or tiled in any way.

@npub1m26…2jhh OK, I'll see if I can see anything in the logs.

@npub1m26…2jhh I did a quick test of an image upload in #Qutebrowser here on Fosstodon, and it didn't have any issues that I could see. Is it giving an error message of some kind?
