Good day folks!
This is probably an odd request, but as the owner and operator of TubeFree.org I want the platform to be as open as possible. But only speaking English I'm VERY limited in reviewing videos.
Does anyone know a translator that could help with persian? Or a tool?
All of the tools I'm finding don't support it and I have someone that uploaded some videos in Persian.
It appears to be a debate or discussion about Iran. I'm absolutely compelled the to leave the video up, but I would love to know the discussion.
ANY help is appreciated. Including if you think you know a friend of a friend or a tool that might work.
Thank you so much!
YOU! Yes YOU reading this!
Thank you so much for spending your time and energy here.
Whether you are building the next great thing, talking with friends, creating a silly podcast, posting pictures of a dog, being a cat that hosts servers, or whatever.
YOU are making a difference. You are HERE. And we're all better off with YOU here.
So thank YOU!
Are there any fediverse developers working on the ability to see a website and then have a link I can click to share that article directly?
I just saw an article from @gamingonlinux@mastodon.world , gamingonlinux.com/2026/07/go... , and then had to go find the post to boost it.
Ideally there'd just be a button on the website I can click and it points me to the article on my Bonfire.
I wanna say someone was working on something like this. Just can't remember who. 😁
Maybe Maho Pacheco?

I like the new tabs.pub. Just had a thought.
A user on my Bonfire is experiencing an issue with Federation. When I've been posting from here, I see that tags.pub has been boosting my content. I like that. A bit noisey, but whatever.
HOWEVER, since I now know that my FiresideFedi user isn't federating, I wonder if you could add like a @ping@tags.pub when doing a #ping or something similar, so that we have external servers that verify our connectivity. Maybe not just a ping, but a PONG or response or something. I think this could help with understanding connectivity.

Absolutely LOVED this video by John Mauriello of Design Theory.
He's looking for folks to talk to him about ways to make this enshitifcation hellscape better. He talks about all of the problems, @pluralistic@mamot.fr books and is explaing this to his almost 1 million followers.
And he WANTS to talk to people. EVERYONE please reach out! The more we can become a chorus and not just a drowned voice, the more likely we can speed up our revolution.

I know lots of folks are talking about Monthly Active Users when it comes to health of the Fediverse.
We use that to compare social medias and even ourselves, a social network, to each other.
I argue we should be focused on user engagement. I know LinkedIn has "impressions", but idk what that means.
So I wonder if there's a good way to generate this. Someone posting is the highest, commenting, subscribing, liking, disliking, and follow on down. I guess that would be a statistical model? But with diminishing returns. One SUPER ACTIVE ANNOYING poster does not a network make, but "media" it does.
I don't have a clue how this would work statistically. But I theorize, that while we're smaller MAU, our user engagement is significantly higher when population size is accounted for.
Is there any data anyone knows of to back this up or disapprove it? I'm pro small.social though, so maybe I'm wrong. Any data scientists in the Fediverse? :-D #data #dataIsBeautiful #fedi #fediverse #science
