Introducing the Lemmy Tagginator (github.com)

Facebook marketplace alternative
Hi, I’m fairly new to the fediverse. Is there any alternatives for Facebook marketplace out there?
Reddit Enhancement Suite for Lemmy
I always used old.reddit.com with RES on my desktop. I’ve started using old.lemmy.world now, and I love the familiarity, but I realize how much I miss RES. I wish there was something for the old.lemmy.world that offered the same enhancements.
Your communities might be a lot larger than you think!
The number of subscribers listed in the sidebar is only the number of users from YOUR instance that are subscribed. This might make you feel like a community is ‘small’ or ‘dead’ when it actually isn’t....
Would running a Lemmy/kbin instance on your phone be feasible?
Libp2p or similar stack could be used to provide the phone instance an address, caching could be distributed among peers. Of course, as long as other servers also support libp2p....
Is Mastodon’s strictly chronological news feed based on a wrong assumption?
The assumption is that centrally managed social media is bad because their algorithm is bad. But actually, they are bad because they are centrally managed and force one algorithm onto you. I’m not even advocating algorithm-by-choice. Even instance-specific algorithms would already work and would make the whole experience much...

What is the difference between YouTube and peertube?
I know some things about both, but im still confused for some reason. Like what is the difference between peertube and youtube, which is better?...
Laguna.chat has a lot of really racist communities
Just saw a post on reddit alternatives and there was a comment inviting users to laguna.chat. I went and checked it out and the trending communities list included, ‘jews did 911’, ‘killnirs’, ‘hitler was right’, and 'Fuck Nirs’. One of the user accounts was u/HangNi***rs....
I feel like all fedi software has problematic devs, Calckey
I feel like almost every single piece of software has some problematic dev that has racism, transphobia, or both. I recently read a post about the calc key devs and sighed *facepalm. It is honestly really annoying cause I want friends to use Fedi but than you can pull up a whole laundry list of problems with the devs and it’s...
Can someone take over KBin?
I’m having to register to Lemmy directly now, when I’m used to posting from KBin’s instance. But now the errors is getting so bothersome that I can’t even surf around currently on it. The 50x error comes up after everytime I post somewhere, like make a thread....
Why publishers are preparing to federate their sites - Digiday (digiday.com)
The Verge and 404 Media are building out new functions that would allow them to distribute posts on their sites and on federated platforms – like Threads, Mastodon and Bluesky – at the same time. Replies to those posts on those platforms become comments on their sites.
Bluesky backs a project that would let Mastodon apps, like Ivory, work with its network (techcrunch.com)

Idea for Fediverser: Community Ambassadors to reach out to the best reddit posters?
Let me start by thanking everyone that has joined fediverser.network and the ones who are already helping to categorize and create a map between subreddits and the recommended Lemmy alternatives. Y’all are amazing and I hope we can keep it up....
What existing organizations should start hosting fediverse instances? Which ones are already doing so?

Fediverser: bring content and users from legacy social media networks into the fediverse (github.com)
Mastodon is easy and fun except when it isn’t (erinkissane.com)
"After my last long post, I got into some frustrating conversations, among them one in which an open-source guy repeatedly scoffed at the idea of being able to learn anything useful from people on other, less ideologically correct networks. Instead of telling him to go fuck himself, I went to talk to about fedi experiences with...
