wtf is happening?
Why am I signed out every time I open this? Why can I hardly post anything anywhere? It’s like a dice roll.

What is going on with Kbin (kbin.melroy.org)
I almost feel like it's October last year, when I pled for improvement on all fronts regarding the Kbin development strategy. Now it seems development has ceased once again and there hasn't been chat on the matrix channels for over a week. Update: that's two weeks now (including his blog) and over a month of no visible...

[Duscussion] Post licening to kneecap threads putting ads next to our content.
Ive seen that pixelfed and peertube have the ability to add a licence to content. I think this would be great for everyone so we can get ahead of threads and have collective bargaining power when they inevitable put our content between ads....
App to schedule posts on Lemmy (schedule.lemmings.world)
I’ve made an app that makes it possible to schedule a post in Lemmy at an arbitrary time. It’s available at schedule.lemmings.world and can be used by people from any instance....
Do any mobile apps have 'mark read once scrolled past posts' yet?
I’ve been a fan of Memmy for the most part, but post Apollo i’ve still been out of sorts with any platform. I really miss marking-read once you scroll past posts on my phone....

Spreading of the 100 biggest fediverse account (wehavecookies.social) German
I just saw, that fedidb now has data for the biggest fediverse accounts, so I did a little plotting with it. Here is a graphic of the scattering of the 100 biggest accounts by the instance they are on. 38 of them are on mastodon.social https://fedidb.org/popular-fediverse-accounts (the data is in the alt text) #mastodon #chart...
Instances or networks that focus on forums and conversations instead of link aggregation?
It seems like any platform that features link aggregation is soon overrun by bots and self-promoters trying to drive traffic, and pages and pages of link posts versus pages and pages of people talking....

Debunking the Top 10 Myths About Mastodon (wedistribute.org)
Hey there! Figured I’d share here since my main instance, Lemmy.ml, seems to be really broken right now. I published an article today focusing on some of the myths and misconceptions Mastodon users have spread over the last few years, with some critical analysis and debunking....
Instance Protectionism in the Threadiverse happens because of the Prisoner’s Dilemma (protecting one's own instance is currently more sensible than increasing overall discussion quality) (lemmy.world)
As a moderator of a Lemmy instance, you currently have two options to take: pushing users first to your local content or content from all instances you federate with. These options come with the costs seen in the picture. The moderator of another instance has the same choice. However, in this scenario, they will both always...

Mastodon handles lemmy communities a bit strangely, doesn't it?
I know that communities don’t translate well to Mastodon, I just find it a little odd how it seems to be a firehose of all comments in a community when viewed in Mastodon. I was expecting it to “repost” posts submitted to the community and have comments in the replies to those posts. Just something odd I was thinking...
I just had an idea that people smarter than me have probably had long before I heard of Lemmy.....but I don't see it implemented, so I'm sharing it anyways!!!
Ok, so one of the bigger problems I see on Lemmy is the fact that I subscribe to dozens of different communities, but my feed is always the same. News news news technology technology technology....
Are there any innovative platforms in the Fediverse?
I’ve explored a few platforms within the Fediverse, but most of them seem to be inspired by and mimic existing mainstream social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. While this familiarity can be comforting, I can’t help but wonder if there are any truly innovative and original platforms out there that offer a...

How does an instance of Lemmy, especially a larger one like lemmy.world pay for costs involved with running a Lemmy instance in a sustainable way?
Are any of your friends on the fediverse too? If not, have you tried to get them to join?
I’ve been telling a lot of people about it, but everyone’s a skeptic. I’ve heard a lot of people saying that they’re just going to wait to see which Reddit clone comes out on top before switching. Most of them haven’t heard of the other parts of the fediverse like mastodon. I’d like to leave fb/instagram, but like...
