fediverse

The US state of Louisiana requires social media companies to get parental permission for users under 16.

Will I still see contents from people who are from servers that don’t defederate from Meta’s Threads?

I wasn’t sure how to find the communities I’m interested in, so I quickly hacked together a scraper that makes a list of all the communities(1) of all the servers mine is federating to(2)....

I get the impression that we’re headed for the same issues that pop up when we put all our eggs in one basket with Reddit/FB/whatever. People flock to the largest instance, and someday that instance could go down due to cost or the host losing interest....

Exploring the fediverse has been fun, but I’m still trying to figure out things. I have a mastodon account, but also decided to check out other fediverse projects and came across misskey. Made an account or miruku.cafe, and it seems quite similar to mastodon to me. Are they very similar?

Hello Lemmy community!...

Lemmy.world grew from about 51k users when third-party reddit apps started to shut down to about 84.8k users at the time of this post....

It feels like they’re two different roles. It might be better to have user-orientated servers that prioritise federation of content and only have a couple of meta-style communities, and other servers which prioritise being the go-to place for discussion on a particular topic and less a place that manages a large number of user...

I’d like to login on an instance that doesn’t block other instances and I get to decide what and what not I want to see

To support decentralization and spread, should lemmy.world close registration at some point to prevent a performance overload due to too many users? Of course, if registration is disabled, there could be a hint placed somewhere near that from other instances you can interact with content on lemmy.world just like you had...

A prediction market on whether or not a major news publisher will commit to the Fediverse before July 2024.

I do not want my posts from anywhere on the Fediverse on FaceBook....

I made this based on the gripe about some of the silent failures with federation. Might help users choose other servers. Might help admins troubleshoot. Open to comments and criticisms!

After a week on Lemmy/kbin it strikes me that one of the major oncoming problems that the Fediverse has is the fragmentation of communities across multiple instances that were formerly centralized in reddit. While this fragmentation into instances has significant upsides, it shifts responsibility for finding and subscribing to...

Just my contribution to the Fediverse

By illegal I mean a lot of things It could either be piracy, black market, child pornography, etc.

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