Following Lemmy Users on Mastodon

Hi All, I’m new to the Fediverse but I’m slowly learning about it and it excites me. It has shown me that there is more than the big services to be enjoyed....

Lemmy Community Boost (LCB) (boost.lemy.lol)

The description section on the website may be grammatically incorrect. I can fix it with your suggestions.

Mastodon features

I’m curious as to you guys opinions. It could be Mastodon itself or a Mastodon client. What features would you like to see that are not currently available?

Instance / Server evaporation

In the Fediverse, what is the solution to instances or servers going missing?...

Is there any project that is actively archiving the content posted to all Fediverse projects?

I’m not sure how practical/sustainable of a project this would be, but I feel that it could possibly be a useful project in the future if instances begin to purge old content due to storage constaints. The archiving service could store all the data using Object storage to archive it in read only. That way, at least people can...

Account portability

Some more spitballing from a noob here, but I wonder if much thought has been given to account portability between Lemmy instances, or even Fediverse apps in general....

BlueSky invite

If anyone has a BlueSky invite, feel free to DM me. Elon Musk is making Twitter worse and he is limiting how many tweets people can view.

Risk Matrix for Algorithm Decision Systems by Kraft and Zweig - To which category belong post-curation-algorithms in the Fediverse? (lemmy.world)

(Scope for agency loss means that its comes at low cost to switch to an alternative and intensity of potential harm means the amount of harm that is inflicted on the individuum if the algorithm is bad (e.g. for lethal automatic weapons it would be very high))...

Any Lemmy apps which allow swiping between posts? (kbin.social)

I'm looking for an app which allows me to open a post and then just swipe to the left to see the next post down. So far I've tried Jerboa, Connect, and Sync and all seem to want to perform actions on whatever comment you happen to swipe on rather than move the entire post/thread.

Does an instance not take into account local time zone vs instance/server time? (lemmy.world)

I noticed when I sort by new, some of the posts are in the future. Is that just an issue with .world (my home instance) or something broader?

Fediverse is 100% Decentralized or not? (lemmy.world)

Somehow, I feel like the federated network is still centralized, because there is still censorship; it’s just distributed across more servers....

How to find new communities to subscribe to?

So I’ve got my own instance running, and I’m stumped as how to go about finding new communities if it only shows communities I’m already subscribed too....

To those who are concerned about datamining by Meta through Threads

This has been repeated several times now, but an important reminder: Meta doesn’t need Threads to mine your data. Lemmy has been designed to be very easy to scrape due to its open APIs. Don’t worry yourself: Meta can, will, and is already scraping all of your data from the past and the future. They may not be able to see...
