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?
There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.
Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

Lionir elected to prevent any potential data leaks by shutting down Beehaw until the issues lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are identified and resolved
FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites....
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....
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.
Hey I just created awesome-lemmy based on the well-known awesome lists....
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.

for the longest time a lot of images posted to reddit were really posted on imgur (until they started hosting it on their own, too). is there a fediverse’d imgur we should be using to complement lemmy? its docs say it shouldn’t be used for large images and videos....
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. It looks next step will be...
I never got into mastodon because I couldn’t connect multiple instances. I like this a lot about Lemmy so far (just here for a few minutes though)....
At the moment the internet is flawed, do you think the fediverse is the solution?
What’s stopping us from using the api to post all of reddit here in a massive one-time merger?...
I am wondering about the different fediverse software options and what would be best for various usecases....
I’m not sure if this is appropriate to post here, but this may have a significant impact on The Fediverse if it causes migration?
Today, Medium is launching a Mastodon instance at me.dm to help our authors, publications and readers find a home in the fediverse. Mastodon is an emerging force for good in social media and we are excited to join this community.
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....
Hi, Lemmy! So I made two mistakes. But I’d like to inform Lemmy, that there is a free speech version of the Lemmy code being used to throw racial slurs around. That instance is called goatpen.co I advise you not to go there, as you will come across racial slurs on the front page....
