fediverse

We recently chatted with two of the devs involved with Bonfire. Honestly, they have some really amazing ideas about building a modular Fediverse platform that developers can build on for their own apps.

Bridgy Fed made a splash earlier this week by announcing its latest progress in connecting the Fediverse to Bluesky and Nostr. Sadly, not everyone was welcoming.

Hi friends, I managed to get a few services running (Mobilizon, Mastodon, PeerTube etc.), and I’m just now realizing that by default none of these federated networks are subscribed to anything?...

The app that synchronizes multiple lemmy accounts so you can migrate and keep backup accounts across instances, it’s opensource and free, currently working in android and windows....

For context: I recently set up a Funkwhale instance for Communick subscribers, where people can upload their music collection, stream on mobile/web and share with their friends. That’s useful already and can be thought of as a replacement to the original Google Play Music, but I guess that those with large music collections...

We sat down and chatted with Shawn Grigson from Oliphant, who gave us a fascinating and detailed view of what crowdsourced community moderation looks like....

It’s been inaccessible for roughly 24hrs right now and I’m having a hard time finding any group talking about it. Was there a change recently, or some kind of an explanation posted?

Harry Potter Fandoms will be a part of the Fediverse one way or the other. It’s better to shape this development rather than being overwhelmed by it....

I read on reddit that on Lemmy you can see users’ upvote/downvote history. I therefore expected to be able to see upvote/downvote breakdown by user for my own comments. But couldn’t find this. Does this feature exist or is that a myth?

[…] being able to say, “wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that’s supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that’s not owned by any one company, that can’t be controlled by any one company, and that allows people...

Mastodon is a great platform. I have an account there, and I have been using it as a twitter replacement for several months. I have been using nostr for around two months. I have also read fairly deeply into how Mastodon and Nostr work. I think nostr is better. Here’s why....

At the end of 2023, we ran a census on lemmy.ca. Analyzing the data took a little longer than I thought it would, but the results are now available!...

Before you start throwing 💩 , hear me out…...

Many Lemmy instances have “feddit” in their name. Is that just “federated reddit” or am I missing something?

It’s been a while since I’ve last posted about this package and quite a lot has changed since then....

The docs only mention to create an account alias to the old account. However it doesn’t clarify what to do next, as on the account alias page the migration should be done on the old account. I have not found the setting to do this next step.

I was having some issues finding myself in the search on other instances and wanted to see if I’m doing something wrong or if somebody has advice to fix it. Long story short, I’m a fan of Nostr so I’m usually on there. It’s bridged to the fediverse, so that usually gives me my microblogging fix on both sides of the...
