Fediverse

A slew of bad internet bills are being pushed through the US Legislature. Can we look to the Fediverse to carry activist causes?

Twitter under Elon Musk’s chaotic reign has seemingly created an opportunity for an alternative microblogging service.

To all #readers and lovers of #books (and here there is a sea!) I point out the federated...

For those who aren't aware, Kbin Cafe is a Kbin instance I run. Cross-posting our stance on Threads for visibility....

The next 2 weeks...any predictions/bets on what it will be then?

Noticing some people levying that against people bringing up complaints about their experience here. It's not the spirit which I hope will prevail. Also, lazy cop out in a discussion.

Something here felt different, and I think I realized what....

Create and moderate communities, meet people with similar interests, and develop your passions.

Threads, Meta's new microblogging platform, is updating its terms to focus on data collection from "Third Party Users".

I discovered severe lapses in how the Tusky project's donations (received via OpenCollective) were being handled. When I reported those t...

Twitter isn’t the only social network around — here are some others.

Also, since back when I last looked for youtube alternatives, many that seemed good turned out to use things like NFT and the sort, I feel compelled to ask:...

Here's my prediction, but I'd like others to contribute their predictions as well. I think it's important that we make ourselves aware of signs before they start showing, and that we have a record to point to if things play out exactly as we predict....

Meta will not launch its new Twitter rival, Threads, in Ireland or the EU for the foreseeable future.

The rapid rise of Lemmy and Kbin, dubbed the 'threadiverse', have altered the dynamic in the fediverse. A look at how this changes the structure and the dynamic of the fediverse at large.

I've heard you can do a google search and append say kbin.social to get results just from kbin, but if I wanted to treat the fediverse's content like reddit's, is there a way to do the google search on just everything that's on the fediverse?...

I do love the fediverse but man...what I wouldn't do to live in the fetaverse

Interesting bit of news for the threadiverse. All three of these are fairly large lemmy instances

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

Listen, do you have lists of lists? Listless for efficiency? The Lister Calckey plugin is made for you. Quickly add users to a list right from a note in just two clicks and improve your efficiency quotas by…some large boring amount. Or just try it for fun....

Differentiation in the Fediverse is starting to play out in more and more pronounced ways. For most users in the Western world, it is tightly linked with Mastodon. But the Japanese Fediverse community is growing extremely rapidly, mainly using Misskey. It has grown in less than half a year from 75k accounts to 325k accounts.

Mastodon-the-software is used by far by the most people on fedi. The biggest instance, mastodon.social, is home to over 200.000 active accounts as of this writing. This is roughly 1/10th of the whole Fediverse, on a single instance. Worse, Mastodon-the-software is often identified as the whole social network, obscuring the fact...

Recent moves by Eugen Rochko (known as Gargron on fedi), the CEO of Mastodon-the-non-profit and lead developer of Mastodon-the-software, got some people worried about the outsized influence Mastodon (
