fediverse

We have a bunch of instances hosting basically the same images multiple times. Using IPFS we could increase the availability of images for users with almost no cost to instances. I have heard rumors that pict-rs can’t be easily scaled up due file system based storage and would need a rewrite....

This was born out of a couple of comments I left on peoples posts of them asking for a clear explanation of key fediverse concepts and them saying the explanations made things a lot clearer for them....

That was pretty useful option on reddit and Im missing it on lemmy.

i use it for pixelfed

Is this feature requested / planned / exists?

Imagine the following:...

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

Alternative to lemmy by tedu of OpenBSD fame. It uses ActivityPub and is actually compatible with lemmy. Here is an example instance:...

So fediDB does show the combined numbers for lemmy/kbin....

I’m not into the idea of centralizing all of the communities on one of two instances so am always trying to find new instances. Earlier I stumbled across lemmememes.com but it appears to be broken and is in fact running outdated software, so now I’m trying to find something like lemmy.love or just a general memes or love...

Hey all! As I’ve been branching off more and more into the Fediverse I’ve been looking at Masto alternatives and all of them are great. I like most quite a bit more than Mastodon for the UI and featureset. I want to selfhost one, and Akkoma’s lightweight nature and rich features attracted me....

There should be a universal community search engine for the Fediverse where you type in a community description or keyword and the service returns a list of all similar communities across all of the instances. It should be called Feddle (the Fediverse Google.)

I am an old internet user. One of the things that used to drive me nuts was when all these corporate products like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, etc. would change their entire UIs on a whim without any user feedback. I am a big fan of the pre-material design language UIs that did not contain any shiny/glossy elements of...

Does the name need to be like the URL, or just what you wanna call the community? There’s a little help icon next to the text box, but tapping it doesn’t seem to make any help text show up....

Everything works great there locally, but I can’t subscribe to communities on other instances and can’t see my instance from lemmy.world....

When you step outside the fediverse and try to talk to others about it on corporate platforms, chances are you’ll either get, “Yeah that’s too complicated” or “Isn’t it full of [insert bad people here]?” or some variation thereof, at least if they’ve heard of it at all. A lot of this comes down to communication...

I found this interesting and was wondering how some of the larger instances handle the issues they outline such as...

I joined the fediverse like 2 weeks ago. I’m trying to find the answers to all my doubts reading discussions around, watching videos etc, but there are still some questions I’m looking an answer for. Here they are:...

Hi, I was redirected here after asking about this topic...

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.

Hi, I just realized that my previous attempts to join the fediverse via Mastodon or Lemmy where just blocked by my choice on the mail provider. I never got any confirmation mail neither in the inbox nor in spam, tested with multiple servers, mask addresses. Just right now tried it with my Gmail account and got the mail...
