fediverse

Still figuring out the fediverse, but I know that Mastodon users can (in an oblique way) post to Lemmy. Is there a way to have a Lemmy account and post to a Mastodon instance/section/thingie?...

Genuine inquiry . Maybe I am not experienced enough with the various federated platforms but I am an avid user of matrix, and have dabbled in lemmy. From what I have seen is federation is on the path to decentralization but not fully there. It creates fiefdom, little kingdoms . Great yes you may find one that suites you better,...

Crossposted this in case of takedown. Hope this isn’t breaking the rules....

Does anyone know what this thing is? Some kind of decentralized, open source, anti-establishment, etc platform aiming to be an alternative to twitter, but we plebs aren’t allowed to see or participate in the development process or even see any source repositories yet....

Old habits die hard, but there’s Reddiquette which needs to be revived, and some which needs to die....

We have bookwyrm.social, which does an excellent job at replacing the need for goodreads (which is owned by Amazon). But is there an alternative to imdb.com?

It will be interesting to see more traditional BB forum software interconnect with other networks. All the gaming forums that will be able to cross post…

FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites....

With the vlemmy situation ongoing, i feel like it would be useful to put this here (i did not make either of these tools)...

I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here....

For those who don’t know, a.gup.pe is an independent service that brings group behaviour (somewhat like communities here) to mastodon. It’s kinda nice and quite a few use it on mastodon....

I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished. Here is how Indivudals can do it on mastodont as an example to follow. hachyderm.io/Edit found this ,...

We really shouldn’t take this Meta thing lightly....

A large corporate shopping mall settles in a nice neighborhood with small local run shops and community centers. The new shopping mall says ‘if we settle here, more people will come, and you all will benefit’. A few years later all small shops are bankrupt and the community is destroyed. What remains is a barren corporate...

Federated Code forges have been an ongoing development for some time, but their introduction could provide a way to connect many different projects and organizations across the web, using the ActivityPub-based ForgeFed spec.

An Android app for Meta’s federated Twitter competitor was accidentally leaked, and people are already datamining it for clues.

Can we all stop the in-fighting for a minute and realise how awesome the platform we are on is?...

Fediverse game jams have been a thing for a while, but this one seems to have a decent amount of people interested in joining in. It could be a really fun way for a lot of creatives and programmers in the fediverse to work together and build fun experiences that reflect on themes of our shared space.

Lemmy has multiplied it’s number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?
