fediverse

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....

The assumption is that centrally managed social media is bad because their algorithm is bad. But actually, they are bad because they are centrally managed and force one algorithm onto you. I’m not even advocating algorithm-by-choice. Even instance-specific algorithms would already work and would make the whole experience much...

A friend decided to give it a try and so I recommended getting the app, but they got stuck when trying to make an account since they kept getting...

I was wondering if there was a community where admins of different instances got together and chat in general about decisions for how they run their instances....

I’ve seen the controversy where lemmy.world defederated from 2 piracy instances. So since there is no one big owner what is stopping someone creating a instance that host CP or other illegal stuff?...

I’m very new to the fediverse, but I love the concept. I was really excited about the idea of setting up my own instance (because apparently I can’t just wade into the shallow end first).

Is this feature requested / planned / exists?

I follow the #americana on Mastodon and there is a some pretty good recommendations for music that come from the hashtag. Is there any way to elegantly boost a Mastodon “toot” to a Lemmy community?

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....
