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.
Lemmy is to Reddit as ____?____ is to YouTube.
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....

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,...
How do I search for an instance that blocks another instance?
I’m looking for an automatic way to search for an instance that blocks another instance. Instead of manually checking the blocked instances of multiple instances until I find the one that blocks the instance I don’t want to see, I’m wondering if there is a more efficient and automated method to identify such instances.
Easy Way to see a list of defederated instances for each instance?
What’s the best way to see the list of instances a given lemmy instance has defederated from?
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....
why does the fediverse not serve the authentication problem?
I still have many different accounts on matrix, lemmy, mastodon, etc. and although you may communicate somehow, it doesn’t work properly.
Diaspora* - is it any good?
I just read up on it and it seems good, at least in theory. How does it compare to Lemmy, would you say?
Looking for Firefish documentation specially for the Antenna feature
I want to know how to use the Antenna feature of Firefish to customize my feed and see more relevant content based on the topics I like, how to follow lemmy communities, how to post on lemmy and vote posts/comments on lemmy from there. Is there a documentation where I can learn about that?
If I want to create backup communities in a different instance, is there a way to mirror the original communities in the new instance?
Say I want to use Peertube to preserve videos forever, focus on resilience.
How should I do this?...
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...
Looking for fediverse platform for a minimal corporate website.
Some friends have websites. I encourage them to do. But they have them only to publish contact info, opening times, and a couple of photos of their business. What would be the best fediverse platform for this? Of course being able to post/toot news every now and then, is also a good feature.
Relaying of Mastodon hashtags to Lemmy instances
Does something like this exist? As far as I can tell, setting something similar up would require:...
Would it be possible to have more algorithms?
I mean we can sort by new or hot or active etc. But can we add more algorithms that people can then choose. For example id love to be able to have an algorithm that allows me to rate communities so I could say rate a meme community 1 and a chess community 10 so I only see the best of the meme community and most of thr chess...
Does anyone know what is happening to lemmy.film? It seems to have been down for a few hours

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?
Is it possible to migrate back to an old account?
i migrated from mastodon to firefish recently, and now i’m thinking of moving back to mastodon on account of the shit mobile support firefish has. is this possible?
Links between lemmy/kbin communities
I wonder why I haven’t seen any communities so far that link to related communities in the sidebar....
Is there a guide somewhere to how well Lemmy / kbin / Mastadon / etc interact?
As I understand it, the main fediverse softwares all implement ActivityPub in a little bit different way, and so don’t fully overlap with one another in terms of how well you can see content from one on another and in what ways you can interact with it. Is there a summary anywhere that just has a quick breakdown of what...
Is Lemmy getting flairs
Title. I remember community flairs from the red betrayer and they where immensely useful to me to determine info about others configurations etc. are they something lemmy has discussed adding? If not why?
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?...
