I created a Sharkey instance... (sharkey.world)
Next to Mastodon.world and Lemmy.world I am also running Calckey.world. This was running Calckey, a Misskey fork. That was re-branded to FireFish (that’s the danger of running sites with the software name in the URL… :-) )....

Queer.af is Shutting Down, Due to Taliban (wedistribute.org)
When registering a country code domain, keep in mind where the domain is being registered. A shift in government or geopolitics can have serious consequences.

Scientific Study analyzing impact of Reddit Migration on Lemmy (www.jmis.org)
Sublinks Aims to Be a Drop-In Replacement for Lemmy (wedistribute.org)
Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps...

Lemmy Needs to Fix Its Community Separation Problem (popcar.bearblog.dev)
I made a blog post on my biggest issue in Lemmy and the proposed solutions for it. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Instances or networks that focus on forums and conversations instead of link aggregation?
It seems like any platform that features link aggregation is soon overrun by bots and self-promoters trying to drive traffic, and pages and pages of link posts versus pages and pages of people talking....

Why isn't there a Harry Potter-themed Lemmy instance yet?
It’s one of the first things I would expect from a site like this. I know that J.K. Rowlings views are very controversial to put it mildly, but:...

Whenever the AT protocol of BlueSky is set for others to deploy, won't it have similar problems as ActivityPub instances?
I feel like I may be missing something when it comes to BlueSky, or maybe both I and those trying it out are but in different ways. My understanding is that BlueSky is currently like the Mastodon Social instance is for Mastodon but of the AT Protocol under development, with the long term aim being that once their protocol is...

Has anyone defederated your instance? An update to the Defederation Investigator (defed.xyz)
A few months ago I released the Defederation Investigator, a tool to verify the federation status of Lemmy instances. With this new update, I’ve expanded it to support multiple Fediverse softwares, including:...

What is going on with Kbin (kbin.melroy.org)
I almost feel like it's October last year, when I pled for improvement on all fronts regarding the Kbin development strategy. Now it seems development has ceased once again and there hasn't been chat on the matrix channels for over a week. Update: that's two weeks now (including his blog) and over a month of no visible...
