An EXTREMELY Simple Guide to Mastodon (for when someone says it's too complicated to catch on) (www.staygrounded.online)
PS- The "real" (non-joke) full guide for the Masto-curious is here.

Relaying of Mastodon hashtags to Lemmy instances
Does something like this exist? As far as I can tell, setting something similar up would require:...

Threads' New Terms and Conditions Affects the Fediverse (wedistribute.org)
This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise. Meta is moving forward with their plans for Theads and the Fediverse, and their adjusted terms reflect a new impending reality for Fediverse users.

Would you agree to algorithm-generated timelines if there were sufficient tools to check whether the timeline on an instance work as promised?

Mastodon's Next Major Release Enables Full-Text Search (wedistribute.org)
It’s hard not to overstate how much of a big deal it is that Mastodon is adopting this kind of search functionality. Mastodon still makes up a vast portion of the Fediverse....

Is Mastodon’s strictly chronological news feed based on a wrong assumption?

Why do people downvote for no reason? (lemmy.ca)
Every comment in this post got 1 downvote for literally no reason. Like… it’s a post about cats, nothing controversial at all. Do people just go around downvoting every post? Why?

Fedi-fanfiction: How would a society look like in which the fediverse is established as THE social media platform?
Please be creative! Will there be more communities? Will we refer to each other based on the instances we belong to? Will there be beefs between instances? Will there be doomed romances of two peoples meeting from different places of the fediverse?
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.

Is there a fediverse software that has "trending" posts?
I realize that Mastodon is specifically intended not to have any sort of algorithm, and I understand and appreciate that, but it’s not what I want, personally. I want to have the posts in my feed sorted by the ones with the most “engagement” as those are likely the most interesting ones.
Idea: fediverse of ecommerce. Time to dethrone amazon and ebay. What do you think?
Buying from an alternative ecommerce site usually sucks: you have to register for every website, enter your address, payment information and other information, they may leak data or store it improperly, you may not know the reputation of the website or business, you can’t easily compare products with other vendors and more....
What's the word for realizing to have been sucked into the Fediverse and actually forgotten that you are using the Fediverse? Fedi-Immersion-Shock?
The last couple of days I experienced something that I never felt since I’ve been using Fediverse services. For the first time since half a year ago, I felt like actually being sucked into the Fediverse. I only realized it a couple of days later that I hadn’t looked into Twitter and that’s the crucial point: didn’t even...
Do you think opensource + Fediverse will develop into some kind of political force/movement in the next years?

One advantage Reddit has over Lemmy
When it comes to subreddits, lemmy communities, and lemmy instances, the people enforcing the rules are the same people making the rules. To borrow from legal terminology, the legislative, executive, and judicial branches are the same. Mods and admins are judge, jury, and executioner. This gives them a lot of power and allows...
kbin subscriptions broken?
I haven’t been able to subscribe to any communities hosted on kbin instances. I can see the communities, but they stay at “subscribe pending” and the posts never show up....
You can be banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone for calling out transphobia
I recently made a new account on lemmy.blahaj.zone, because I’ve been harassed and doxxed on my old account and I wanted a fresh start with a more lighthearted online identity that I could be more open about my gender identity on. I’d heard blahaj zone was good for trans people, so I made my account there. And yeah,...

Lemmy for Mastodon - A new account dedicated to promoting the Lemmy communities and instances that make the most sense in your Mastodon feed (mastodon.social)
This is shameless self-promotion, but part of a working theory I have that Mastodon users have more to offer Lemmy than your average Reddit user. See my other post about it here: lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/2174573...
