A federated or FOSS variant of IMDB?
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?
Lemmy can subscribe to a.gup.pe groups?
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....
Massive centralization is helping Fediverse
A bit paradoxal but it looks that all central platform (twitter, reddit, facebook…) are helping the spread of Fediverse. Recently we saw the impact with Twitter on Mastodon, myself I’ve discovered Lemmy even if I wasn’t a reddit user. And before that Facebook first spread friendica and diaspora.

Introducing Decentralized Social Icons (wedistribute.org)
As we’ve been building out our site, we’ve wanted to showcase the icons of various projects and protocols. However, there’s been a real lack of any kind of icon font for that purpose…Mastodon is pretty much the only Fediverse project to be featured in FontAwesome, and the ForkAwesome project has been dormant for a long...
Mastodon rolls out built-in bylines for journalists in the fediverse (www.theverge.com)

dansup: "Still working hard to ship Groups this weekend! …" - Mastodon (mastodon.social)
Looks like PixelFed Groups are coming along nicely.
Is there a good Lemmy community for comparing amps, headphones, speakers, complaining about Audacity, etcetera?
Share your fediverse accounts
A short description would be appreciated
Does the concept of the fediverse act as a template for original apps that couldn't be done with non fediverse software?

PubKit Officially Launches Closed Beta (wedistribute.org)
PubKit is a spinoff project from Pixelfed, and is used by the project’s lead developer to actually develop Pixelfed. It has some pretty great ideas about mocking up entities and data, testing data streams, and working with different server implementations to see where pieces might differ.

Defederate from Fanaticus.social (kbin.social)
Technical question: how can I find out what type of server (Mastodon/Pixelfed/Firefish/Peertube/etc) a site is running on?
While working on Fedimojis, I’d like to check that the link entered by the user is actually a Mastodon server, to avoid bugs or loading thousands of emojis from Pixelfed instances that don’t distinguish between local and external emojis....
