Today, I addressed issues related to voting in the code. However, I'm currently facing infrastructure problems. Still, I'm doing everything I can to have all the changes deployed to the instance by the weekend. The federation stopped working for an hour today, but all actions were successfully restored from the queues. Over the...
Todays quick update, as I want to fix the errors on the website as soon as possible, as mentioned more broadly here:...
The decentralized Instagram alternative is a great option if you want to back up your feed, focus on photo-sharing, or cut loose from Meta's empire entirely. And making the leap is surprisingly easy.
lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are down from what seems like a JavaScript injection attack
I've checked the fedipact signatories, but they all seem to be lemmy instances.
TLDR: Poor discoverability impedes the threadiverse's growth by making life hard for new users. Here are some suggestions on how discoverability could be improved....
Every time I look at reddit or twitter they're designed to be filled with the most vile or annoying posts imaginable to keep you scrolling and this place just... doesn't have that. It's relieving to not be inherently angry just scrolling through new posts
Just joined, and well, I'm thinking ill stay. Ive been looking for a good reddit alternative for a while now. devs, you've done quite some good work here.
Are Lemmy and Kbin ready?...
Defederation has come up in multiple different contexts recently in the Fediverse. Even more so, the way other protocols are developing is setting up more significant questions about future choices regarding federation as well.
Some hobbyist hackers have come up with novel ways to connect vintage computers to the Fediverse, and you can run the code yourself.
Graphics/UI and #ux are one side of the project, UX that is combined with functionality and design is a slightly different story. Looking at the project from the beginning I was wondering about the sense of mixing upvotes and likes. Of course, I know that this from the functionality of federated applications, but also in them...
The weekend tasks are taking longer for me, I found another bug that causes a 500 error, I'm still working on it.. This evening and tomorrow, I will be testing the changes on the kbin.social. If there are any issues, please mention me in the post or contact me directly through the contact form.
Another day has passed for me working on code refactoring and federation development. In the process, I'm also creating better documentation that can be utilized for other apps integrations. I also had a few formalities related to the project to take care of today, and there are more to address tomorrow....
Mastodon is interoperable, decentralized, operated by a nonprofit, lively, and, ACTUALLY, isn't hard to use. So why is everyone championing Threads as the main Twitter alternative?
Title ^ I'd like to explore Peertube but I don't know where to start.
And did you monetize your infrastructure? If so, how?
And got a straightforward no as a response XD...
I started using mastodon when musk bought twitter and kbin with all the reddit API shitshow. I like the idea of the fediverse but how does it have longevity?
Right now the user count Lemmys is comparatively tiny when held up against reddit - but the user count isn't the thing that makes a social media site, it's the engagement...
(...)
The instance list has a couple of recommended sites at the top. They are defined in this file and seperated by language. For most languages there is only one recommendation or none at all, so you can simply add yours by making a pull request....
In 6 days time much of Reddit will go dark. Users will flood to Lemmy until that crashes. @ernest are you planning to put any temporary extra server resources in place to hoover up a few thousand users?...
My email at the moment...
