In a world shrouded in mystery and enchantment, nestled amidst rolling hills and dense forests, there existed a small city. This quaint settlement was unlike any other, for it was enveloped by a mighty castle, its towering spires reaching for the heavens.

Following on from my initial primer article on the very basics of what the Fediverse is, this next article concentrates on what Lemmy is, explaining in very simple terms how to choose an instance that’s right for you, how to find and join Communities, what to expect, how federation works on Lemmy etc....
Hi! I’m looking to publish a blog that can be discovered through interactions on the fediverse, and potentially displays replies as comments. I had set up WriteFreely and, though it is missing the replies feature, it seemed pretty well-made. However, when I tried to publish my post, pressing “Move to [blog name]” made it...

Libp2p or similar stack could be used to provide the phone instance an address, caching could be distributed among peers. Of course, as long as other servers also support libp2p....
