Pixelfed Groups Are Coming to the Fediverse "Very Soon" (wedistribute.org)
Pixelfed, an alternative to Instagram, has matured over the years. One of its biggest, most powerful features is about to touch down - federated groups. And it will be compatible with Lemmy and Kbin.
Fundamentally, what is lemmy?
In essence, what woud you say lemmy is? A way to have all your old forum subscriptions in one place in the form of communies?...
Where can I get the data about Lemmy subscription patterns?
I have a fair amount of experience with data visualization, analysis etc and thought it would be a fun project to try to visualize the Lemmy network, specifically which instances have strong links to one another via subscriptions from users in one to communities in the other....
Would there be interest and support in potentially building an art focused lemmy instance?
I’ve noticed a lot of people complain that niche communities aren’t really all that present here or are difficult to find. Having some consolidated in specific instances is very helpful for discovery as well as spreading the federation around....

If you’ve heard that people have problems with the head of mastodon (gargron) this recent little incident might be an example. (github.com)
The link is to a GitHub discussion, where gargron shuts down a discussion because he’s made a unilateral decision and then locks the thread to avoid debate....
fediverse platform for a schools community network
I am looking to host a fediverse platform for a community of non-tech people. These people use mostly ig and some still fb. These people are from a network of schools which are ideologically aligned with libre software and decentralisation. It will include adults and also teenagers, who mostly use IG. This is part of a plan of a...
Single-user Mastodon Instance is a Bad Idea (mull.net)
Sublinks Aims to Be a Drop-In Replacement for Lemmy (wedistribute.org)
Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps...

We Distribute is launching a Fediverse-themed podcast, but we don't know what to call it.
Hey! So, TL;DR, we’ve been putting in a lot of work to make a podcast for the Fediverse, to go along with our news articles. There’s just so much cool stuff happening, and we feel that a podcast format can capture aspects of this that regular articles can’t....
Nostr vs Mastodon
I’ve been using mastodon for a month or two now. I never used twitter but thought I’d try it out for fun since I love this new fediverse experiment....

The Trouble with Forking Mastodon (wedistribute.org)
A lot of people have talked about the possibility of forking Mastodon to get the many improvements their communities need. Making such an effort successful is another discussion entirely.
Teacup.social siezed by German Officials?

How to save culture from the algorithms, with Filterworld author Kyle Chayka (www.theverge.com)
Seven years later, Kyle’s argument is that AirSpace has turned into what he now calls Filterworld, a phrase he uses to describe how algorithmic recommendations have become one of the most dominating forces in culture, and as a result, have pushed society to converge on a kind of soulless sameness in its tastes.
