RE: https://mastodon.online/@ercanbrack/116756297944126863 One UX issue, when users link to their #collections on web UX, it links to it as a full path url... which makes sense, but that forces any other users who click on it from outside that server into a "remote server interactions hell" issue. is there any potential future work around on that? cc: @MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social @imanijoy@mastodon.social

Oh, I guess I need to wait for everyone's instances to upgrade before collections are actually a thing. Here I was like maybe I'll try to create one, but I can't quite add anybody yet. Looking forward to the system being in widespread use, though! Finding people to follow has been such a struggle. #mastodon #collections

I really like the new #mastodon #collections - I can't wait to be able to add #pixelfed accounts too. and I'm wondering, I thought, it will work with #loops account already @dansup@mastodon.social ? But even I have the setting set to "permission required" I can't add myself .

The Yellow Milkmaid Syndrome. "The Milkmaid’, one of Johannes Vermeer's most famous pieces, depicts a scene of a woman quietly pouring milk into a bowl. During a survey the Rijksmuseum discovered that there were over 10,000 copies of the image on the internet—mostly poor, yellowish reproductions. As a result of all of these low-quality copies on the web, according to the Rijksmuseum, “people simply didn’t believe the postcards in our museum shop were showing the original painting. This was the trigger for us to put high-resolution images of the original work with open metadata on the web ourselves. Opening up our data is our best defence against the ‘yellow Milkmaid’." https://pro.europeana.eu/post/the-problem-of-the-yellow-milkmaid #art #collections #museum #openmuseum

I think the upcoming #Collections for #Mastodon are great because they solve a major challenge for #Fediverse newbies: How to fill their feeds. One frequent complaint for Fediverse newcomers is that their timeline is empty, because unlike with the commercial platforms there is no algorithm to fill them. But if you point some appropriate collections their way, this could change quickly. So if you write some "Introduction to the Fediverse" articles in the future, be sure to include pointers to some of your favorite Collections! https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/04/designing-collections/

I think that once #Collections are up and running and have become well-established, and once people have curated some good #folklore and #mythology - themed Collections around here, I will write a "Folklore on the #Fediverse " page for my website. I've long promoted a free and open approach to folklore research (which is why I have put all my translations of German folk tales under a Creative Commons Zero license), and thus it is in my best interest to promote the Fediverse as a great place to hang out for folklore enthusiasts. And I remember what a massive boost Collections were for Google+ until Google killed the platform, so I hope Collections will do wonders for the popularity of the Fediverse. (As a reminder, I want the Fediverse to grew much larger than it is currently so that it can supplant commercial social media platforms - most of which are now among the primary tools of fascists, and thus a dire threat to the long-term survival of human civilization.) https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2026/04/designing-collections/

The initial release will be a starting point, while we learn from your feedback. The early focus is on creating Collections, with search and additional discovery options to come later. There are a few choices we’ve made (on size, following, etc) that we expect to revisit.

If you've ever used Pinterest and wanted a federated version, I have great news! I'm refactoring Pixelfed Collections, with the ability to add items other than your own posts, like any url or remote post. Public or private collections with less limitations and much easier to use. Imagine being able to share media or urls to the Pixelfed app, and selecting which collection to add it to, or create a new one. You're going to love this 🔥 #Pixelfed #Collections #Pinterest
