fediverse

I want to create a Pixelfed account but I’m not sure which instance to choose. I’m in the US, so I was just going to pick the default and largest option, but I know spreading out the instances is one advantage to the federated network, so it then makes sense to choose a smaller one....

I’m trying to find where in the Fediverse I can get my fill of short form videos....

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...

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

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?

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

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...

(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))...

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.

How do you find the admins for a kbin instance? When I go to a kbin instance website, I cannot find anywhere the admin usernames.

I want to create some filters for my Mastodon account to hide certain content....

**EDIT (2023-07-31T22:18:52Z):**I have realized that I was not clear in my original intent for this post – it could be interepereted to mean that I am asking whether or not you could access, for example, Lemmy through the Tor browser. This is not what I meant. What I was more alluding to was if it were possible to create a...

Man, I was all on board with this idea. Federated instances made so much sense to me. But it’s tankies all the way down, and it’s just not worth my time anymore. Hell, if the largest instance bans you seconds after you call out a tankie mod, where can you escape? Great idea, terrible execution. Everyone wants lemmy to grow,...

I recently made a new account on lemmy.blahaj.zone, because I’ve been harassed and doxxed on my old account and I wanted a fresh start with a more lighthearted online identity that I could be more open about my gender identity on. I’d heard blahaj zone was good for trans people, so I made my account there. And yeah,...

Is there such a thing as an application that attempts to talk with the various ActivityPub-implementing tools using their own implementation of ActivityPub?...

Mushrooms could maybe be a fruitful metaphor to make the Fediverse depictable in Solarpunk stories. What do you think?

I find something like this very interesting. Additionally, I hope that awesome-lemmy-instances will merge this feature since the low number of blocked users and consistent low latency are the two main things I look for when searching for a new instance.
