fediverse

Imagine federation as a spectrum where on one end everyone has his own instance (server) and on the other end one centralized server....

Do we know any more about the plans of Tumblr for when it will join the Fediverse?...

Lemmy world was growing at a decent pace leading up to July 1st, then had a big influx following the API deadline. However the last week in particular has seen a decline....

Title

Sorry, I am really new to the idea of the fediverse. So, it is about standartisation for social media protocols so I can interact with users on another side that uses the same standard. Does this mean if I post something on lemmy I can find it on Mastodon, or is it only certain features? I guess I dont understand how this...

I wonder if the admins are using a k8s setup with CF? This way they have the CF protection and can spin up or down as needed when they get many requests. Thoughts anyone?

I’m often seeing links to posts on Mastodon and, when I click on them, they open in a Mastodon instance different from mine (I mean from the one where I have my account). This means that I cannot reply, boost, etc, that post....

I downloaded fedilab from fdroid and it looks on the surface as though it can access instances of the fediverse as well as lots of other stuff - like I can see lemmy.world and lemmy.ml but not lemmy.ee but I’m not sure how to see individual communities - unless there’s a post I can see to follow....

Hi,...

I notice often people might cross post something and say (for instance) cross posted from lemmy.ca/post/1916492 (random example which is the link that I just followed)...

According to lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats...

Some people asked if there is an app that supports / combines all of the fediverse. While Fedilab “only” supports Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed and Friendica i thought i’ll leave this here as it might be interesting for one or the other.

Not the best news in this report. We need to find ways to do more.

I want to respond to writing prompts, but from a separate account. That way, if someone enjoys a story, they can scroll through my (alt account’s) history for more writing without needing to dig through all of the dramatic, vitriolic, shit-stirring my main account will be regularly diving into....

My apologies for the probably stupid question, I’m still trying to get a grip on the interoperability between services in the Fediverse. I have both a kbin and a Lemmy account, still checking which fits me the best. If I’m on one of them, can I follow a magazine when being on Lemmy, or the opposite?...

I looked on search-lemmy.com and couldn’t find this answer, so I figure I’ll ask here....

Title, basically. Back on Reddit, there was a way to add a user as a friend. It made it easer to identify people (Apollo would highlight friends differently), as well as to see what they’re up to across all communities. There was even a feed for all posts by all friends, which was really useful.

Is there any way to download Fedilab for free outside of the F-Droid repository? I know they have the code on Codeberg but I could not find an APK file on there
