mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06Your morning read, already waiting. The links worth reading, chosen by the people you trust on Bluesky and Mastodon — in your inbox before you open a single timeline.
Murmel doesn't ask you to scroll. It scans your Bluesky and Mastodon feeds, finds the links your network actually shared, and delivers them as a calm daily digest. Read once. Close the tab. Done.
"The timeline was designed to keep you. Murmel was designed to inform you." #Fediverse #Bluesky
📢 Last Friday, we launched a completely revamped version of Murmel - a v2.0 of sorts. It is a complete rewrite, and not just a an incremental update. We took this path, because we learned a lot of valuable lessons on the way, and the hardest one was that v1.0 would not scale teh way we wanted it.
Thus, v2.0. The bigest upgarde is that you now Mastodon AND Bluesky support, and up to 3 feed feeds to include in your digest.

A few of you have been asking to see how one of our email digests looks like. We thought, why don't we just show it to you right away, without the need to sign up. So, we took our Top Stories page, and turned it into a live digest preview.
What you see is what you will get once you sign up. Plus, it will be a 100x better, because it will be based on your own network.
Here’s the deal: credit card verification keeps Murmel focused on genuine users, not bots or spam accounts. This way, we can deliver reliable service to the #Fediverse community without clutter or distraction.
There’s a lot to read online—Murmel saves you time by delivering only the stories with real traction. Ideal for busy researchers, scientists, and journalists who just need the essentials. #mastodon #fediverse https://murmel.social
If you are a journalist, academic, or just an "information junkie" suffering from digital burnout, Murmel is designed for you. You can stay fully informed without the 4-hour daily scroll through a magazine-style web interface or a simple daily email digest.

Modern AI platforms often scrape content without consent and provide summaries that bury or omit credits to the original site. This "extortive slop mall" model effectively erases the writer's authority.
Murmel serves as an "antidote" by providing a high-signal filter that preserves the integrity of the original work and restores the direct connection between the creator and the audience.
The funniest thing we’ve recently heard about the new Murmel - it won’t pass Google’s “Toothbrush test,” because you only get to use it once a day. People read their morning daily digest, and forget about social media until the following day. 🙈
What do we do? Do we add more engagement hooks, so that people come back more often, or stay true to our core values?
