Fediverse Hot

Bring your photos and videos from Instagram to Pixelfed, with captions and upload dates preserved.

I'm really excited to jump on the Activitypub/Fediverse train, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it works. Kbin is federated (or its supposed to be, apparently DDoS protection is hampering that?), but I'm not sure how I can sign up with my Mastodon account. I already have one, @ArchieBAntlers , and apparently...

Meta gives more information about their upcoming microblogging service that uses ActivityPub. Linux creator Linus Torvald yells at a far-right user, and the resulting discussion leads to Mozilla potentially committing engineers to help build better blocking systems. PixelFed has many updates, including Instagram Import.

Hallo,...

This is how I thought it would work / How I think it could/should work....

Please check my post, I think everything I said is very valid, but I want this community to see it too, and help steer the discussion, I think reddit is doing this intentionally.

Some context: I was /u/Blackstar9000 on Reddit. You might know me from /r/TheoryOfReddit. Or maybe not—I ditched my account there a number of years ago. I've been on the Fediverse for about 6 years, primarily via Mastodon. Last October, I deactivated my Twitter account. I've been through a bunch of social media sites, and I've...

I wrote this a couple months ago, but I thought I'd re-share just to spread some personal thoughts about future features and focus.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I read ActivityPub standards and dug a little into lemmy sources to understand how federation works. And I'm a bit disappointed. Every server just has a cache andthe ability to fetch something from another known server. So if you start your own instance, there is no profit for the whole network until you...

I gotta say, I’m with Louis on this one, at least for subreddits that are more about entertainment than about providing essential services.

I know the posts and content are shared between instances, but if an instance is shutting down it would be useful if there was a way to migrate your user data / identity to another instance....

Die Plattform kbin bietet beides: Sie ist ein Link-Aggregator wie Reddit oder Lemmy und zugleich ein Microblogging-Dienst - hier ein erster Einblick.

It doesn't have much to offer, the code is a mess, but I know some people would really appreciate it!...

loath it or hate it you can't deny it... Reddit is quite a catchy name....

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?

Now that i'm getting used to being in Fedi long term i've started looking beyond Mastodon and Lemmy to the other services. And now i've started to see that some of the services, like Pixelfed, Friendica and others don't seem to have a public timeline. Seems specially absurd for Pixelfed since you WANT your photos to be visible...

(I wasn't sure if kbinMeta was the right place to post that, so I am posting it here instead)...

I'm new to the Fediverse. So far I've been very impressed by the interoperability between the different instance types. Here in Kbin, I can subscribe to communities on Lemmy servers and have them seamlessly appear as magazines in the Kbin UI. I can also follow users on Mastadon servers and see all their posts as Microblogs....

Specifically, communities from lemmy seem to show lower post/subscriber counts here than on lemmy, and don't display all of the posts?...

Kinda managed to attract a founder of FOSS note taking app (which got tens of thousands of users). He made his first post in this unofficial community...
