fediverse

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....

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....

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

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....

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?

I’m testing if people can see my instance. Reply with your instance.

Hey, I don’t know how the rest of you community mods are doing this....

Hello all! I am new to the Fediverse, and am currently exploring it all. Very exciting concept and future! So far, I am here on Lemmy (Reddit alternative) and Nostr (Twitter alternative). Which Fediverse software is the best Facebook alternative? Thanks in advance!

One of the things that sets Lemmy, and the collective fediverse apart from other platforms is its community. Recently, there’s been a large influx of new users (myself included; thus I apologize if this is not the right location for this post). A toxic trait associated with other platforms is the incorrect use of the downvote....

How do people go about finding moderators they trust for a community? I could find someone who posts a lot and then ask them in a private message, but maybe there is some other way. Do people mainly mod people they know personally? I kind of want to find someone who is in a completely different time zone so they would be awake...

I’m currently using Memmy and it’s giving me Apollo vibes but I’m open to testing out other apps ^^

I recently noticed I can’t find source code for pixelfeds official android app, is this intended?

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:...

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?

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...
