Fediverse

As far as I know, the software used by Fediverse, a decentralized social networking site, makes information public due to its decentralized nature, and as a result, it’s often possible to obtain feeds of the latest information via RSS.

Content? Politics? Community? A cool integration you’re looking for? Maybe even a cool domain name? I’m not looking for tips as an instance owner, lol; I’m just curious.

Screenshot in a bit if I can send it at all

Based on this comment:

The domain https://fediverse.observer redirects to sedo now.

The administration of lemmy.ml routinely abuses its rule 1 anti-bigotry policy to conduct political censorship, deleting documented facts regarding the ukraine invasion, holodomor, and xinjiang abuses under false pretexts of imperialist propaganda, misinformation, and nazism while leaving pro-Kremlin talking points untouched.

In my opinion.

I really loved using it. It had a (imo) very nice UI and style.

Just wondering as im curious and im still learning.

Hi, thank you everyone who participated in the Threadiverse Vibrancy Challenge. The rules of the challenge were here, but essentially ten categories had to be claimed each with a unique post or comment.

This is a common support question that we get. It’s great that our platforms let users customize their feed to the extent that they can, but all this customizability can lead to confusion. Content can be hidden based on

AI-generated contributions are not accepted.

I was curious as to where some Threadiverse instances were hosted, as not all explicitly indicate this. Thought that I’d also mention this here in case someone else has an interest in same.

Mastodon is focused on posting on your personal account’s page and doesn’t really support groups AFAIK. Lemmy does have groups (communities) but doesn’t support personal posts. While I get that the two mimic their proprietary counterparts and this defines their functionality, as a self-hoster I’d like to host just one service that would combine the functionality of both Mastodon and Lemmy and potentially other Fediverse platforms.

Hey folks, I have several accounts across the fediverse (Lemmy, pixelfed, mastodon, bookwyrm), and I think it would be neat to have a single identity across all these platforms.

I went to post in !meemit@piefed.europe.pub today and it appears to be down, or gone.

Hi! I’m looking to collate/list community-funded Fediverse ISPs with multiple services. Some aggregate of servers that offer multiple services, not necessarily just Fediverse related, but at least one Fediverse service.

I have an alt account on there which I can’t access, and lestat says it’s down

To recap, the challenge is to make posts or comments each fitting one of 10 specific criteria. Original challenge thread: https://lemmy.ca/post/70151876

I made my admin account, but I can still accept /setup which looks like it will allow any random user to make an admin account as well.

Context for the unfamiliar, OpenAI agents were using a defunct german website to trade notes on how to succeed at benchmark trials.

I can see if accounts do it occasionally and organically but are accounts that exist solely to repost popular and recent posts from twitter/reddit/Facebook healthy for the Fediverse?

I’m planning to introduce Peertube to a fairly large group of people who are new to the fediverse. Which instance is the best in terms of how easy it is to get an account and watch federated content as well as having something to discover locally?

There’s a rule about online communities I want people here to understand: the 90-9-1 rule.

This is the announcement of the Threadiverse Vibrancy Challenge!

The Lemmy interface tells you if there are new unread comments on posts you viewed before. Does that mean Lemmy tracks all the posts you’ve ever viewed and when? Is that information public?

I still believe that getting access to sports news and commentary would be one of the sure-fire ways to get more people in the Fediverse. But even after all these years, Reddit, Twitter and Instagram obviously completely dominate the space.

Here’s an idea for my fellow Lemmings, Piefedians and others, about a fun little challenge we could run in the month of September, to encourage a greater variety of posts across our communities with help from people who usually lurk or only occasionally comment. Each person would score themselves on an attempt to make 10 contributions across some defined categories in a month. What do you think?

As far as I can tell from my venture into Mastodon’s feeds, the demographics of that part of Fediverse isn’t that different from what Lemmy has: the same political takes, FOSS stuff, “big corpos bad”, etc.

I thought it would be good if making a post with a URL alerted me if the same URL has already been posted to another community/ server. Then it could offer to make the body of my post a comment under that post instead.

#Tapatalk was a dominant app in the pre-social media days when discussions took place on all different forums and message board sites across the internet, not centralized platforms like today. Tapatalk provided a centralized way to subscribe to all those discussions on different servers, post and comment freely, without logging into each forum site directly.

I (and a lot of other people, I’d guess) read and write fanfiction.

The question is basically the title.

I’d like to call it Fedivision.

In my personal (unsubstantiated and speculative) opinion, the biggest hurdle to adoption for Lemmy and the fediverse is the lack of content in most topics outside of technology and politics. This leaves many people going back to Reddit, which shines at topic-specific content.

Hey - I accidentally replied to a top-level post when I meant to reply to a comment within a post within a Lemmy Community (c/homebox). I copied my comment over as a new reply and then deleted the original.

Hey all — just launched openmic.social, a general-purpose Lemmy instance with a specific mission: open discourse + transparent, restorative moderation.

I don’t like being gaslit. Even if you just write some crazy nonsense, or you wrote something no one likes. Maybe you really should not have written that. It should be stored locally. If you want it.

I’m getting a 502 Bad Gateway error for the last two days. Anybody else experiencing this? I can’t find anything online about the status of it.

I want to create a better now playing radio for the Fedivers, or help create it, and I’m looking for feedbacks

What I’m looking for is a simple FLOSS add-on for Firefox through which the address bar recognizes Fediverse-style account handles as such, i.e. it infers the URL that corresponds to that profile and opens it. (Or alternatively: It shows that handle on one specified instance, e.g. always from your Mastodon home instance.)

I’m using iOS and I can’t find any.

I just found out my communities had spam and low quality content posted on it, due to user reports not getting to me on Summit and even after seeing them I couldn’t ban or remove posts from the community using the client.

So far I use: Matrix, Friendica, Lemmy, PieFed. I also follow 1 or 2 persons on Mastodon, using Friendica.

With Reddit just announcing ai mods for sub reddits I think it’s finally time I fully give it up. I’ve been slowly trying to transition back into the fediverse but damn is it hard sometimes. Listen I have left leaning politics but does every other post have to be about some political shit on the all tab, I feel like I’m forced into this box that is my subscribed feed or I have to actively search out new communities because all is just a political circle jerk that I don’t care about. Not to mention the moment I came back I saw a fucking flow chart on the instances drama of the week. If I wasn’t so dedicated to dropping Reddit I think the average Joe would have left by now seeing all of this. And YES I have been trying to be the change I want to see if you check my profile I regularly post in meme subs non political just funny memes to be like “lmao” and people can move about their day. I’m not saying there ISNT other type of content on lemmy or piefed it just feels like the stuff that floats to the top is political

Just blocked lemmy.ml from my Lemmy account, and I swear to god it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done on this platform. My homepage feels actually clean now.

It’s been down about 12 hours

Hello. My younger sibling has recently created an account on a small Wafrn instance (we avoided the main one due to them being too young). However they’re now facing the problem that I faced back when I briefly joined a small Mastodon instance way back: there’s very few posts, and almost nothing is federated; it feels very barren so they’re not really using it and spending most of their time on Tumblr (which is what they want to avoid). What can be done to find more people to interact with and follow on smaller instances?

V0.2.2 includes:

PS: The discussion on this post turned mainly into a (one-sided) debate about whether the content of my contributions passes the Lemmy ideological purity test. So dull, yet so predictable. To be clear: I stand by everything I’ve written on Lemmy. Efforts at shaming will fall flat, as will pompous denunciations and attempts at dunking based on virtual sleuthing. I’m far too secure in my convictions to be bothered by a brigade of insufferably self-righteous progressives trying to one-up each other in their efforts to root out dissidence. To the (quite numerous) others who offered interesting feedback and kind words, thanks.
