New developers are already helping big time

I'm learning about the Fediverse and am confused about how federation is supposed to work. I understand that there can be communities with the same name in different instances, with different content. But I also understand you can subscribe to another instance's community. For example, there are sysadmin commnunities at...

From 3000 daily users to 41000 active daily users!...

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?...

Sometimes, developing a new app, platform, or concept for the Fediverse can seem like a minefield. Here’s some rules of thumb on how to maintain goodwill with the community, and ideas of how to do it.

You can now create shields.io subscriber badges for Mbin!...

Vivaldi (the web browser) is hosting a community talk together with AllThingsTech about “Why does being on the Fediverse matter to us?”. You can listen along to it via. audon.space/u/@Vivaldi....

PubKit is a spinoff project from Pixelfed, and is used by the project’s lead developer to actually develop Pixelfed. It has some pretty great ideas about mocking up entities and data, testing data streams, and working with different server implementations to see where pieces might differ.

Looks like another microblogging service promising Fediverse integration.

For the last two days, there seem to be dns/secure connection/insecure connection issues when attempting to access fedia.io, sometimes the home splash page comes up, most oven over the last 48 hours or so, browser shows could not connect error....

Does every PeerTube instance store all other instances’ content metadata (title, description, comments)? Would federating virtually with YouTube (through a YouTube frontend like Piped) give a too high ammount of data to store on other instances?

The good news is that there are some straightforward opportunities for significant short-term safety improvements. If fediverse funders, developers, businesses, and “influencers” start prioritizing investing in safety, the fediverse can turn what’s currently a big weakness into a huge strategic advantage....

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...

For our third episode of Decentered, we talked to Ryan Barrett, the creator of Bridgy Fed! Ryan has a lot of experience in working with a variety of decentralized social web protocols, including IndieWeb, ActivityPub, AT Protocol, and Nostr, and has a lot of interesting thoughts on making them talk to each other.
