What is a Fediverse Galaxy?

As more and more instances are providing multiple services under the same management, we need a term to talk about this type of arrangement. A Fediverse Galaxy is a collection of federated software that is provided by the same admin or collective.

@christian @fediverse @stux I am not sure what exactly you are questioning? just that some admins have more then one mastodon instance?

@liaizon

I'm not questioning anything. I'm just wondering if "galaxy" is the same thing in the Fediverse as "relay family" is in the Tor world.

The Big Social score so far:

  • Twitter: burning
  • Reddit: detonated a bomb under itself
  • Meta: rumored to join with a new app
  • YouTube: videos were always 2nd to "native" ones on the other networks, but they could trivially open an firehose (and maintain their preroll ads while doing so)
  • rest of Google: never found organic success and don't have a bet in the game apart from wanting to index everything

No predictions here, just stating the obvious. @fediverse

I don’t want meta in my fediverse :/

They will grab all non tech users and put them in their walled garden.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. No, we don’t want that, and we definitely don’t want them slurping Fediverse data!

Mastodon establishes non-profit in the US, while Germany revokes their nonprofit status

while Germany revokes their nonprofit status

For unknown reasons, and those tax authorities are pretty well know for revoking it wrongly.

Mastodon CVE Report

Didn't expect the mastodon CVE report/account would kinda end up being about platform diversity on the fediverse (TLDR: only mastodon really had the problem, which was huge)

@skullgiver

The point though is that not all platforms had the problem, which means platform diversity would have lessened the significance.

I love that I'm seeing more and more posts to Lemmy from Mastodon.
This one feature finally ties Lemmy in with the rest of the fediverse by providing the lacking feature: making top level posts. Lemmy (along with friendica!) will lead the way in making "groups" and forums in the fediverse, accessible from any platform you choose.

@JackFromWisconsin indeed! great to see Lemmy improving its compatibility

This happened quickly…Lemmy is now the second biggest platform next to mastodon!?!

"My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy" -RedReader

RedReader is a Reddit app with over 100k downloads on the Google Play store

"I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API."
