fediverse

First, I’m sorry if this is not the right place to discuss this....

I’m excited to see the new meme browsing interface feature in PieFed. I expected PieFed to be yet another Reddit clone using a different software stack and without any innovation. I believe there’s an opportunity to take things a step further by blending the best elements of platforms like Reddit and image boards like...

If I have the right zoom level to make the text in the feed a sensible size, the font size in the threads is too small to read easily. Correct the zoom level in the thread and the font size in the feed becomes way too large....

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.

Most servers that I am interested on joining are hosted in Europe/US. The ping on those servers are usually 200-400 ms compared to big mastodon instances like fosstodon.org and universeodon.com (20-50 ms). Would this affect the responsiveness in a noticeable way?

For those that were #Artifact users I will share some alternatives in the meantime. This app is not prime time ready just yet but has HUGE potential. You can simply log in with your Mastodon account. apps.apple.com/us/app/…/id6462796101...

Opinions on which microblogging federated platform is currently the most stable yet developed one ? I am currently hosting a gotosocial one, but the federation is sometimes a little iffy, so i am in need of some help on deciding what would be the best one to host while being compatible with most of the fediverse.

One of the best features of Lemmy is that it supports a combination of image and text. I wish including the source link of a comic would be a standard practice on the fediverse, just like alt-text already is....

Quite some time ago I’ve posted about the tool, back then it only supported linking to communities, now it supports users and posts as well....

Let’s say I’m from instance A and use a community from instance B. Let’s say another user of instance C, that’s not federated with A but is with B, post in B. Can I see that post?

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....

unless im missing something, fedidb.org seems to only track this stuff over the course of the past 14 days....

I used to follow on Reddit:...

Is there such a thing as an application that attempts to talk with the various ActivityPub-implementing tools using their own implementation of ActivityPub?...

Mastodon Clone by Red Planet Labs...

I clicked on a link to the comment, then I keep pressing “show context” to see the comment one level higher, then I get hit with this screen…...

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....

for instance on free software, linux, bsd, … ?
