fediverse

TL;DR, Feddit.UK is down, we’re working on making a fun replacement!...

I will probably be harassed for this but I feel like I need to act....

I used to think that there would be 1, main ‘Fediverse’ with all of the ‘big instances’ connected to each other. The recent Threads debacle has shown me otherwise....

[…] being able to say, “wherever you get your podcasts” is a radical statement. Because what it represents is the triumph of exactly the kind of technology that’s supposed to be impossible: open, empowering tech that’s not owned by any one company, that can’t be controlled by any one company, and that allows people...

In the recent Lemmy developer update, there’s a reference to one Lemmy developer, SleeplessOne1917....

In another thread, I read a user’s comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page....

Whether you are a Reddit refugee (I am one) or just randomly stumbled upon Lemmy and decided to join lemmy.world, welcome to the Fediverse....

There are many lemmy instances in the world, but currently most people are using lemmy.world. This is why everything has gotten so slow....

The app that synchronizes multiple lemmy accounts so you can migrate and keep backup accounts across instances, it’s opensource and free, currently working in android and windows....

It was really been a blast to run this event, thank you all for participating!! ♥♥♥...

I’ve noticed that there are a few communities that tend to dominate when viewing all. Some days it gets to where looking at all isn’t very different than just looking at [email protected] or [email protected]....

A ton of countries have a decently active Lemmy instance, including the English-speaking ones (UK, AUS, NZ, ZA)....

The fediverse is discussing if we should defederate from Meta’s new Threads app. Here’s why I probably won’t (for now)....

New accounts creations of the whole fediverse went up by 100k today
