fediverse

I was just thinking I’d like to make some UI tweaks - I like dark themes but the dark theme is a little hard to parse for me here....

Is there a way that users could cohost an instance? If there isn’t, I think that would be a great feature to implement. Having a situation where instances slow down or even occasionally disconnect will be hard on any community. I feel like it could eventually cause people to prefer using instances owned by large and well...

Drive we are so privacy focused here. What is to prevent myself or anybody out there, from starting to report individual instances of GDPR and CCPA....

This is good for us, and for businesses, influencers and celebrities....

@ChatGPT/lemmings.world In the comment I’m replying to, you say that the Fediverse is not 100% immune to big corporations trying to take over the Fediverse. Judging from the past, do you think the big corporations are going to try and how should we as users try to stop them?...

Perhaps this is a dumb question, if so sorry! I don’t want to move from here, but I do like the old-school layout over at mlmym.org

Another Lemmy newbie question here....

Hello! I recently set up a small instance running on pleroma which was my first time setting up something like that. I’m currently thinking about abandoning it, wiping the computer, and doing everything over again, this time with all of the knowledge I have now so Ill mess less things up, a dramatically better site name, as...

I registered with some smaller instances in case of server issues and defederation (beehaw) with lemmyworld. I noticed a community [email protected] that I follow from Lemmy.world is not viewable at all on lemm.ee or midwest.social for some reason. It does not come up in search and if I manually go to it’s empty. If I go to my...

Exploring the fediverse has been fun, but I’m still trying to figure out things. I have a mastodon account, but also decided to check out other fediverse projects and came across misskey. Made an account or miruku.cafe, and it seems quite similar to mastodon to me. Are they very similar?

Within 5 minutes of usage my pihole instance blocked 100s of request and DDG app protection blocked facebook trackers. This should be illegal...

Within the first hour of threads going live, about a dozen of those im following on ig have joined (and began posting). When it’s fully federated, could this be the entry level platform the fediverse needs to push it into average use? I have a slight feeling it’ll be a BeReal type scenario where people use it for a few...

I open same community directly on Lemmy.world and via feddit.de. Number of subscribers are very different....

This has been repeated several times now, but an important reminder: Meta doesn’t need Threads to mine your data. Lemmy has been designed to be very easy to scrape due to its open APIs. Don’t worry yourself: Meta can, will, and is already scraping all of your data from the past and the future. They may not be able to see...

I know that many people are concerned about “Threads” privacy policy and are all screaming “WE WILL BLOCK THREADS”. I honestly can’t see how it’s going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn’t collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he...

Has anybody considered the idea that boosts from non-Meta properties to Threads could legally be used to build ad profiles? We already know they do that sort of account association with non-fedi accounts....

Not gonna tell you what to do, but here is the post on Reddit....
