Fediverse

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

Example of a broken/stale sync: https://lemmy.world/u/debby@hear-me.social shows no activity for 6 months, despite her actual Mastodon profile (https://hear-me.social/@debby) having posts as recent as an hour ago.

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.

When discussing Fediverse, you sometimes hear the idea that you shouldn’t need different accounts for different platforms. The “why can’t I comment under Youtube video with my Twitter account”. In Fediverse it already works to some extent. You can comment under PeerTube video with your Mastodon account, and you can participate in Lemmy thread with your Mastodon account. What is this functionality called? Does it have specific name? It’s probably not “single sign-on” and not “federation” from what I understand. And to what extent is it implemented? Is there some way to participate in Lemmy thread with your PeerTube account? Is there any progress being made on implementing the initial idea of using any Fediverse account with any other Fediverse platform? What is the name for the problem of implementing or mapping the platform-specific functionality? As in, neither Mastodon nor PeerTube have the interface for upvoting and downvoting posts. Wouldn’t it be easiest to implement Fediverse-wide SSO (as in, log into Lemmy interface with your Mastodon account) instead of figuring out some funky mapping and patform interactions?

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

lemmy logo is a sad rat. Imo better design needed:

Making a post to test the new threadiverse community support on fedihood.social, the ActivityPub fediverse's new geocentric microblogging platform!

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 logged in, answered one question, and now can’t upvote, reply. Upon clearing cache and cookies, I can’t log in on either browser.

When you choose a Lemmy home instance, you’re trusting somebody else’s infrastructure with your account, posts, comments, and uploaded media.

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!

I’m building a fanfiction archive and I was wondering whether I should add federation just to the forum or to the whole site and if I add it to the whole site whether or not ActivityPub would be a good fit, like is it possible using ActivityPub to share the load of hosting the files across different instances or is that something unrelated and it’s only useful for typical social interactions?

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.

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

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.
