fediverse

Hey Lemmy community!...

I want to create a Pixelfed account but I’m not sure which instance to choose. I’m in the US, so I was just going to pick the default and largest option, but I know spreading out the instances is one advantage to the federated network, so it then makes sense to choose a smaller one....

The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn’t quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.

(Scope for agency loss means that its comes at low cost to switch to an alternative and intensity of potential harm means the amount of harm that is inflicted on the individuum if the algorithm is bad (e.g. for lethal automatic weapons it would be very high))...

I’m currently trying Voyager. Initial impression is that it seems like a great app.

Welcome to Lemma - Your New Favourite App!...

Following on from my initial primer article on the very basics of what the Fediverse is, this next article concentrates on what Lemmy is, explaining in very simple terms how to choose an instance that’s right for you, how to find and join Communities, what to expect, how federation works on Lemmy etc....

I’ve created a Fediseer frontend that’s easy to use!...

Not sure if this is the best place for this. If not, I apologize. I just want to understand Lemmy better.

Is there a website that shows a list of dead instances and how long they were alive and why they died? I think that would be a cool website. It could be for Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, and everywhere else in the Fediverse!

Lately Tusky is taking quite some time to load images for me, can it be the app or maybe the instance that I’m in?

Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don’t know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???

I have built an AutoMod bot for my instance, lemmy.basedcount.com. The bot covers the following features:...

What I mean is someone sets up a new community, blasts it with a bunch of content to get things started, or sets up a new community bot that makes 20 posts and every other post in my feed is that community. Usually with 1 or 2 votes each and no comments. No matter what way I sort I see this....

I think this has negative effects on the threadiverse because it tends to keep user’s focus at lemmy.world and in general keeps users to stay in their bubbles

Groups as both a formal ActivityPub spec and general concept deeply invigorate me. I previously wrote about group-to-group following (FEP-d36d) as the missing glue layer to successfully transition /r/rust to the threadiverse....

Libp2p or similar stack could be used to provide the phone instance an address, caching could be distributed among peers. Of course, as long as other servers also support libp2p....
