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:...
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...
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...
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?...
This post can reach not only #Mastodon & the #Fediverse, but beyond like #Bluesky. How far can it go? I have built a tool to aggregate, with what software and from which instance it is boosted (or faved). Please share far, to show where you're seeing this....

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.
Admin team of LGBTQIA.Social Mastodon instance received abuse email from Russian censorship agency, where they demanded to remove an account. The account in question represented a small group that ran a collaborative blog for LGBTQIA youth and adults in Russia....
Social bookmarking is a novel use case for ActivityPub and I’m super excited about it. I heckin’ love links and lists! I wanna use them for everything....
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?
