fediverse

Hi, I was redirected here after asking about this topic...

Hi everyone, I have some technical questions regarding federation. Answers backed by documentation would be perfect....

Hosted on peertube by the biggest instance in the fediverse, the event of the year takes place on the day of the first big twitter migration and is traditionally kicked off by someone telling a really bad joke and then declaring “let that sink in”. But seriously - Would we be already able to realize this this year? Would be...

I never saw anybody complaining about Sync or its pricing. But I’ve been inundated with bad memes about how it’s wrong to criticize Sync....

Hey, if there are any folks here involved in friendly forks of fediverse software - Do you use any fancy merge strategies to merge upstream changes into your fork? What's your mileage?...

*Not a major issue - just curious...

Groups as both a formal ActivityPub spec and general concept deeply invigorate me. I previously wrote about group-to-group following (FEP-d36d) as the missing glue layer to successfully transition /r/rust to the threadiverse....

ACFM hosts step back from their screens to survey the totalising modern phenomenon that is The Internet, dredging up their early interactions with a primitive web and explain how the dream of free and open communication was displaced by closed networks of e-commerce and data harvesting.

for instance on free software, linux, bsd, … ?

Like two text fields, with the server/instance field autofilling:...

Hey all! As I’ve been branching off more and more into the Fediverse I’ve been looking at Masto alternatives and all of them are great. I like most quite a bit more than Mastodon for the UI and featureset. I want to selfhost one, and Akkoma’s lightweight nature and rich features attracted me....

What the title says. I have mastodon and pixelfed, while it is nice to see posts from both services in network feed, im not interested as much in the mastodon posts. Its not a dealbreaker, but would be nice if i can switch off the mastodon posts. I dont know if it matters, but im using pixelfed.de instance.

Hey there, I finally decided to try out Pixelfed and made an account on an Instance close to me (really nice instance-finder imho). Yet, the instance itself is rather small and when I open the global feed, Pixelfed turns into a mastodon-client basically since all it shows are Mastodon-Toots. Also, all “Discover” Features...

Instead of categorized instances (where communities are related to each other’s interests) (but I have seen people who don’t like the idea stil it’s ok), I have another idea of an “Admin’s Choice/regional/neighborhood” feed aside from my “subscribed”, “local” and “all”....

Quick, pros and cons

Is there any way to download Fedilab for free outside of the F-Droid repository? I know they have the code on Codeberg but I could not find an APK file on there

Will a service built on activitypub be able to view posts made using the AT Protocol by default and vice versa? Or will that functionality have to be developed?

For now, I can only visit a community from another server by searching or opening a post from that server, if I open it in the post’s original server or if I open their site, I’ll be in another lemmy instance and I’ll have no account there, so I can’t really interact....

Is there a way that users could cohost an instance? If there isn’t, I think that would be a great feature to implement. Having a situation where instances slow down or even occasionally disconnect will be hard on any community. I feel like it could eventually cause people to prefer using instances owned by large and well...

I registered with some smaller instances in case of server issues and defederation (beehaw) with lemmyworld. I noticed a community [email protected] that I follow from Lemmy.world is not viewable at all on lemm.ee or midwest.social for some reason. It does not come up in search and if I manually go to it’s empty. If I go to my...
