fediverse

Are there any paid services for either Lemmy or Mastodon? Something where, given it is a subscription service, you would expect them to stick around long-term?

I read on reddit that on Lemmy you can see users’ upvote/downvote history. I therefore expected to be able to see upvote/downvote breakdown by user for my own comments. But couldn’t find this. Does this feature exist or is that a myth?

With Threads/Meta heading for the fediverse, and Tumblr looking at ActivityPub, how would you feel if Reddit decided to add support and federate Kbin & Lemmy?...

To explore instances (including Beehaw) without restrictions, I created this instance. To be listed on join-lemmy.org, my instance should have at least 5 active users, according here. So would any 4 people consider signing up? The instance host is lemy.lol....

I found this interesting and was wondering how some of the larger instances handle the issues they outline such as...

Regardless of the negative aspects, Meta joining the Fediverse will definitely make the numbers of active users explode. This will probably bring the network and its concepts to many people and also a matter of public debate.

I notice often people might cross post something and say (for instance) cross posted from lemmy.ca/post/1916492 (random example which is the link that I just followed)...

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

TLDR: This is a long post, so a shorter question you can respond to is:...

A blog post I made about my experience on Kbin, what I like about it, and some of the challenges I still face in using it. Any feedback would be appreciated as someone who is still new to blogging. Thanks.

Personal websites often give an email address for contact, as a mailto:[email protected] link. And the address is often obfuscated in a variety of ways to avoid its harvesting by spam bots....

I’m trying to figure out how to get the comments of a post given a link to it using ActivityPub....

Is this a singular occurrence for me, or is it prevalent across the instance?...

I get the idea of instances, like you can make your own and this is good for privacy. But some lemmy instances are much more popular and this in fact makes it another Reddit. If there are separate instances for niche topics, why not make it another community inside a larger instance?

I’ve wanted a badge that shows the instance uptime and couldn’t find any, so I created one. It’s available at uptime.lemmings.world/{your-domain}.svg and gets its data from fediverse.observer....

We have a bunch of instances hosting basically the same images multiple times. Using IPFS we could increase the availability of images for users with almost no cost to instances. I have heard rumors that pict-rs can’t be easily scaled up due file system based storage and would need a rewrite....

I use alexandrite to switch between different lemmy instances and change the default post layout to card style. When I first started using lemmy, the I found the difference between the reddit and lemmy in the post feed to be jarring as I was used to a card style layout....

Someone linked a site that lets you search all the Lemmy communities but I lost the link. IIRC it presented all the communities in a tile based layout.

Hi all. Very happy to see Lemmy’s success so far. I’m interested in contributing to Lemmy’s growth....

Not sure if this is the right place, or if it’s been done before but:...

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....
