fediverse

Discussion topic for you all, I’m curious to hear everyone’s thoughts on this!...

Everywhere I look there are people advocating for defederation from this and that! Do you even understand what you’re suggesting? Do you get what’s the point of decentralized social media and activity pub?...

An interesting article I saw (from 2019) describing the potential intrinsic tendency for decentralized platforms to collapse into de facto centralized ones....

It’s so funny seeing a large group (almost all) of the people in my feed being so excited about this new social media thing that they managed to get in through invitation on Instagram....

Hello! I recently set up a small instance running on pleroma which was my first time setting up something like that. I’m currently thinking about abandoning it, wiping the computer, and doing everything over again, this time with all of the knowledge I have now so Ill mess less things up, a dramatically better site name, as...

I just read this point in a comment and wanted to bring it to the spotlight....

A lot of people dislike it for the privacy nightmare that it is and feel the threat of an EEE attack. This will also probably not be the last time that a big corporation will insert itself in the Fediverse....

Aether is a reddit alternative not dissimilar to Lemmy in that it is distributed and open source....

From what I understand, Threads will be joining the fediverse, and Bluesky is going to be federated. Will I eventually be able to access both from my Lemmy instance? I’m also still trying to wrap my head around the whole concept so I’m not even sure if I’m asking my question correctly

I used to browse Reddit 90+% of the time from my phone through the RiF app, so after June 30th, here is what I did and what I recommend as a starter pack for others in the same situation:...

I know that many people are concerned about “Threads” privacy policy and are all screaming “WE WILL BLOCK THREADS”. I honestly can’t see how it’s going to gather any personal information since Lemmy, mastodon etc. doesn’t collect any information at all. Like, how can you gather information about user, if he...

Has anybody considered the idea that boosts from non-Meta properties to Threads could legally be used to build ad profiles? We already know they do that sort of account association with non-fedi accounts....

Perhaps this is a dumb question, if so sorry! I don’t want to move from here, but I do like the old-school layout over at mlmym.org

What’s stopping me from doing this? Here we go:...

I’m aware that many Soapbox instances are somewhat controversial. Is this to the extent that any Soapbox instance would have the same reputation?

So I’m really starting to consider starting a few small communities just to help grow the communities. I have never moderated anything and I am just curious on what to expect. Things such as tools to use or things to look out for?

Lemmy vs kbin witch one should in chose terms of privacy and content amount?

Found it on Twitter.

Within the first hour of threads going live, about a dozen of those im following on ig have joined (and began posting). When it’s fully federated, could this be the entry level platform the fediverse needs to push it into average use? I have a slight feeling it’ll be a BeReal type scenario where people use it for a few...

Found this post super informative as it relates to Mastodon, and thought Lemmy might also benefit from this perspective. I’m not sure I share his optimism, but his points seem sound to dampen some of the alarm bells over Meta joining the Fediverse.

I made this tool to help self-hosters, new admins, or smaller instances have more global and updated content on their instances....

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