Before the whole Reddit migration I was passively aware of the Fediverse, I thought I somewhat grasped the concept, and had created a Mastodon account, but never really used it....

I was thinking about how there are similar communities on different instances. In some cases that is desirable/ok but maybe it would be cool to have another option....

With the launch of Threads, there's been a lot of interesting talk about the safety and privacy risks it poses to people on the fediverse, if and when Meta begins federating. But it's also worth examining the risks to the social systems....

Please check my OG announcement post here and any suggestions or feedback is very very welcome, either let me know through the comments below or DMs....

I see a lot of posts on fediverse trashing reddit, Twitter, spez, musk and so on, and rightfully so. But like it or not, the mass majority of users on the internet still use these sites, and some of us still want to interact with the friends and communities we are a part of on those sites. And there's nothing wrong with that...

Come da soggetto, sembra che qualche malintenzionato (cough explodingheads cough) abbia carpito un accesso admin e iniettato codice JS poco... sano, diciamo. Le istanze sono giu' per ristrutturazione.

I'm getting really tired of trying to run away from big tech, only to be ensnared again by the greed and/or naivety of sites who ultimately cave to the whims of big tech....

Continuing the previous status update post. Checking back how well posts are being federated today. 🌐📡...

This may be useful for folks looking to expand their feed. I discovered this on accident and it completely revolutionized my experience on Kbin....

This may have been answered before, but I cannot find a definitive answer to this....

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....

If you are looking for assistance in trying to interact with pages found on instances other than the one on which you have an account, here is what I believe is available so far....

It seems that any Lemmy.world and Lemmy.ml hosted communities aren't any longer federating properly via kbin as I started getting 404 errors on all of them. Examples:...

You can now use Lemmy Explorer to easily look up Communities and generate kbin-friendly links!...

It finally happened: many Reddit 3rd party apps have officially shut down. With it comes an influx of users looking for a new place....

Let's get some disussion here , instead of links....

As we start to see more users join, it's inevitable to see trolls (especially low-effort trolls) making more of an appearance and trying to be controversial and noticed....

There are some new features, collapsible comments, magazine sorting, the settings page which has an app icon switcher as well as a couple accessibility options!...

I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string.
