Roundtable 1: Your timeline on your terms (11 May) https://app.hi.events/event/7451/roundtable-discussion-your-timeline-on-your-terms-mastodon-discovery-week-2026 I'd love to see some casual users who primarily use social platforms to find and enjoy posts from others (whether it be for news, entertainment, community, or all of the above). Both people who passively build their feeds over time, and those who love making use of advanced filters, lists, etc. are encouraged to attend.

Roundtable 2: A place for thriving discourse (12 May) https://app.hi.events/event/7469/roundtable-discussion-a-place-for-thriving-discourse-mastodon-discovery-week-2026 If you emphasize the 'social' in social network, I need you on this day in particular. We'll be talking about replies, threading, and DMs, so whether you're someone who leans into public conversation or someone who prefers closed interactions, your voice is invaluable here.

Roundtable 3: A playground for self-expression (13 May) https://app.hi.events/event/7470/roundtable-discussion-a-playground-for-self-expression-mastodon-discovery-week-2026 Perhaps you're a visual artist, a creator of short comedy skits, or someone who just loves making polls. You're probably in the composer a ton, and there are things that could be improved there. Seeking everyone ranging from hobbyist posters to folks managing content for their own professional brands or accounts for other orgs. We want to know what will inspire you to keep creating on Mastodon.

Roundtable 4: An internet for everyone (14 May) https://app.hi.events/event/7471/roundtable-discussion-an-internet-for-everyone-mastodon-discovery-week-2026 I don't believe the Fediverse is a homogeneous place, but there's a lot more we could do in terms of supporting global communities. I particularly want to make space for people who identify as a member of the global majority, as we/you have been historically excluded from access to decision-making power in tech. Neurodivergent folks, users with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ family also strongly encouraged to join.

Roundtable 5: A platform with flexible protections (15 May) https://app.hi.events/event/7472/roundtable-discussion-a-platform-with-flexible-protections-mastodon-discovery-week-2026 This day will likely be more moderator-heavy, but your perspective matters here if you fall on the other end of consequences for content restrictions, too. Adult content creators, for example, are encouraged to attend (reminder: your insights will be fully anonymized). Folks who want better ways to filter their own timelines to avoid certain content will also lend a lot to the discussion here.

@imanijoy When will ppl know, if they've got a seat at a table?

@imanijoy I doubt I will be able to attend. But as someone I think you would think is the demographic you’re looking for, I’ll say that it would be huge for mastodon/lemmy/pixelfed to be packaged up to be easily added to softacious. Or in some similar way, made easy to spin up a server when you don’t have route access from your web host provider. Right now the technical barrier to spinning up your own personal server is way too high. For any of the AP platforms.

@imanijoy @Yehuda Maybe you could suggest a few non-technical users from your server that could provide an angle, which would otherwise get lost?

@imanijoy I'm a "Non-technical user", and I'm in! ;)

@imanijoy Hi, this issue recently came up from someone I follow: there's no nuclear block option- you can block a user, but their replies still show up in the thread for anyone who follows you. There's a PR here to address this, but it's still open with no clear path forward: https://fietkau.social/@julian/116502656500681117

@imanijoy @mayintoronto I looked at this event, and was a bit confused: is active roundtable participation *in-person* only? If so, you may be unintentionally excluding folks who don't travel for various reasons (including disability) but who would like to contribute.

@imanijoy YES THIS tech nerds (i'm one) need to step back from this. We need more casual people to join the fedi

@imanijoy@mastodon.social Non tech here. Well, I missed it. Guess I’m not following the right hashtags or people. :|
