RE: https://www.manton.org/2026/08/11/introducing-the-microblog-pds.html
Manton from Micro.blog is now hosting an independent personal data server.
We're having an show & tell for the #CoSocialCa working group about running a PDS in Canada https://luma.com/3mplrg3i
-
Also you can totally join @[email protected] who are up and running today!
#CoSocialCa started out with a Mastodon server, there's a not very well used Castopod, and are working on Pixelfed and Bookwyrm, all with a "Canada only" tech stack.
It's driven by co-op members who volunteer. -
For the #CoSocialCa co-op, @[email protected] and I put together a working group to host a PDS in Canada.
Very much still in beta, but will be an option for paid-for Canadian account hosting.
Thanks @[email protected] for working with us on hosting this initially out of their Toronto data center space.

Hello #CoSocialCa!
@gov and I are hosting a show and tell of a beta service for members, an atproto PDS.
We still have some docs to write and it is not ready for everyone to use, but we've done initial setup and are ready to share and take questions.
More in the members forum https://members.cosocial.ca/t/atproto-pds-show-tell-august-13th-2026/870
Come to the member show & tell next Thursday to learn what the phrase "atproto pds" even means!

Welcome, @allisong ! I hope you enjoy the community at #CoSocialCa.

@cosullivan I'm sorry Mastodon isn't working out better for you. If I understand your post correctly, you're looking for suggested instances.
I'm pretty happy with #CoSocialCa, myself; it's small enough that I still follow the local timeline in full. And because we pay for membership, it's sufficiently funded for proper sysadmin services. Haven't had any problems with harassment either, but maybe I've just been lucky.

RE: https://cosocial.ca/@ArtisanalPortents/116852226391726342
It’s on #CosocialCa so whatever it is, it must be Canadian. I was puzzled at the bold-face effect and (relatedly) why you can’t search for any of the “portents”. Sleazy #Unicode trickery FTW I guess.

Picture that @evan took of me just before the panel I was moderating at #DWebCamp.
Look at that big #CoSocialCa sticker!

@coop Not a problem. I was keeping my eye on the version, so I knew, but it was a seamless transition overall.
Thanks for all you do.

@coop Any idea when #CoSocialCa will upgrade to Mastodon v.4.6? I'm looking forward to some of the features therein.

@fname There have been events I've learned about through Mastodon, but I think this one I heard about first on the radio.
I wonder what will be the next big driver of Mastodon use in Canada? X/Musk does something that drives away users, or governments? Catches on at last in the EU? Bluesky blows up? #Loops goes viral? Facebook shuts down? Threads makes sharing the default? I see growth in #CoSocialCa, but it doesn't feel as if the Fediverse is growing overall, https://fedidb.com/ .

I apologise for praising the PM and thereby crashing the instance.

RE: https://cosocial.ca/@mick/116052103701438909
Unfortunately, I've gotten sick! 🤒 Gutted that I won't be able to be there, but incredibly grateful that @Django / @[email protected] can be there to talk about #CoSocialCa in my place. I hope the event goes well!

If you’re looking for something Fedi to do in Edmonton today, our very own @dawn from #CoSocialCa will be on a panel with @chad to talk about the new book from @rwg “Move Slowly and Build Bridges: Mastodon, the Fediverse, and the Struggle for Democratic Social Media”
Check it out here: https://library.macewan.ca/about/library-spotlight/alternative-social-media

Recently joined #CoSocialCa and I'm loving the feeling of being on a co-operative social media platform. But it doesn't solve my main challenge with social media - I never seem to feel I have something worth posting! Hopefully I find my groove in this community.

I don’t know if this is a #CoSocialCa server issue or an #IceCube issue but the trending feed has been bare of late. 5-6 stories and then nothing else loads.
