Can we all stop the in-fighting for a minute and realise how awesome the platform we are on is?...
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.
This blog post by Ploum, who was part of the original XMPP efforts long ago, describes how Google killed one great federated service, which shows why the Fediverse must not give Meta the chance
Lemmy has multiplied it’s number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

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)....
My experience with the Fediverse has only been through Mastodon, through which I struggled to find a community I really gelled with. Either it was supper overwhelming with meme posts or NSFW, or it was too chill to the point of nothing. Or, it was hyperfocused like FOSS/Linux and became uninteresting after awhile.

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?...

The content of the reddit post:...
I am wondering about the different fediverse software options and what would be best for various usecases....
Why isn’t anyone talking about this? It looks like Meta wants to compete with Twitter with a new Instagram microblogging app which will probably be compatible with Mastodon...
