fediverse

Communities are sort of reachable from Lemmy, but it doesn't really work yet.

I like the concepts of both platforms, Deviantart and Wattpad, but both have been going down the tubes, and the argument can be made that they have always had a pretty big cringe problem....

I think Tumblr has a pretty unique style in terms of how it works. Even though it’s completely centralised, it already almost feels like it’s federated. So is there an actual fediverse platform that’s similar to it?

I assume this is mastodon.social. Small compared to twitter, but it's progress.

Note: in hindsight, half of this post is answering my own questions as I explore this rarer side of federation, but there are still some remaining questions which I have highlighted....

Over the years, I’ve been studying a handful of different fediverse platforms that bring a lot of interesting concepts to the table....

Does anyone know what this thing is? Some kind of decentralized, open source, anti-establishment, etc platform aiming to be an alternative to twitter, but we plebs aren’t allowed to see or participate in the development process or even see any source repositories yet....

Email is already nicely federated, but I think it’s time for a change. Services like protonmail claim to offer encryption between users, but you can’t host your own instance. It would be awesome if there was a spec somewhere for a federated email service that defines...

I love the Fediverse and I love cinema 🍿, I don’t think I am the only one…...

there is a website for social movie reviews https://letterboxd.com/ I wonder if there is an alternative on the fediverse for that.

Hi, Lemmy! So I made two mistakes. But I'd like to inform Lemmy, that there is a free speech version of the Lemmy code being used to throw racial slurs around. That instance is called goatpen.co I advise you not to go there, as you will come across racial slurs on the front page....

Genuine inquiry . Maybe I am not experienced enough with the various federated platforms but I am an avid user of matrix, and have dabbled in lemmy. From what I have seen is federation is on the path to decentralization but not fully there. It creates fiefdom, little kingdoms . Great yes you may find one that suites you better,...

Alovoa looking for contributors! Can you help us implement decentralization for open source dating app?...

I know of:...

A very nice app that displays the feed in the "post + comments" way rather than in a microblogging manner.

Hey, I am relatively new to the federated web and I only use lemmy currently. But I love the idea of an alternative social web ecosystem that is not ruled by big corporations. To see how the fediverse has developed in 2020 I decided to look into the stats (stats go from 2nd January 2020 til today) over at...

Quite some time ago I’ve posted about the tool, back then it only supported linking to communities, now it supports users and posts as well....

For those who don’t know, a.gup.pe is an independent service that brings group behaviour (somewhat like communities here) to mastodon. It’s kinda nice and quite a few use it on mastodon....
