fediverse

Hi all,...

As a new user to all these sites, I’m confused about they interact with each other. For example, on Lemmy, I can view a Mastodon account, but I can’t view that account’s posts. This makes sense, as sorting your home feed by “all” could hypothetically result in your feed getting flooded by popular Mastodon posts....

for instance on free software, linux, bsd, … ?

I’m not into the idea of centralizing all of the communities on one of two instances so am always trying to find new instances. Earlier I stumbled across lemmememes.com but it appears to be broken and is in fact running outdated software, so now I’m trying to find something like lemmy.love or just a general memes or love...

Does this exist here and are there active communities?

I’ve been loving Lemmy and mastodon and feel they are coming along as good replacements for Reddit and Twitter. Outside the fediverse, I occasionally enjoy posting dumb little video shorts and I put them on TikTok, Facebook and Insta because I have friends, family and followers on each. (TikTok, Gen-Z, my daughter…Facebook,...

So I have set up my own Mastodon instance and it’s empty. What should I do to fill up my instance with content? And how do I do that other users of Mastodon on other instances see my “tweets” on my instance?

With several Lemmy instances using the .ml TLD I’ve seen people mention others being risky as well. Which should be avoided?

If an instance were to leave the fediverse do we loose all its data? Say for example iPad Lenny.ml domain was seized or was forced to shutdown so we loose all communities from that host? Do we not see any posts? Can we still post to it? Seems like a big flaw if we have multiple large instances that can shutdown a significant...

My other instance has been down for two days and I’m not sure where to go to see updates/discussion etc....

I know we have distressingmemes on lemmy.world, but there is currently one post. Do we have any other equivalent?

Was there some sort of assurance that nothing was going to happen when the contract expired, and this expectation was changed? Freenom hasn’t been registering domains since Jan 1....

Hello, I can’t log on sh.itjust.works. ils it down or something?

Can’t post images because they’re too big so here’s imgur: imgur.com/a/Fm52ZTB...

Or is it just me ;p

The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint… there are just so many choices, just like how when someone asks how to join the Fediverse people will response with “which instance?”...

I put my name and password and it acts like I’m signing in and then… I’m not....

Should we create a second activitypub, the general goals would be to kick Meta/Mastodon out of the workgroup, mastodons goal seems to be to drive EEE by ushering facebook so they can “improve” activitypub. I feel like we need to splinter off an continue development without meta

I wonder what is going to be the future of all of these ActivityPub-based services....

Hey, rookie programmer here, I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this but what’s the use of this language specifically ?

Across this vast Fediverse, I have encountered a trend of people answering questions with esoteric programming language speaking in tongues that I don’t understand, including under my own posts. I am a Boomer when it comes to coding and I am only 27. I don’t even know where I would start to learn it because programming is so...

Does anyone know of a Fediverse alternative for Snapchat?...

A specific one, or at least that support it ? Didn’t find anything on play store or fdroid.

Sorry, I am really new to the idea of the fediverse. So, it is about standartisation for social media protocols so I can interact with users on another side that uses the same standard. Does this mean if I post something on lemmy I can find it on Mastodon, or is it only certain features? I guess I dont understand how this...
