Soon “ failed because it didn’t replace ” will be replaced with “ failed because it didn’t replace ”.

But that’s not the point. The point is that millions of people across the planet are exploring based communication now. THAT is the big opportunity and success.

is super cool once you see it in action.

For instance, you can visit the new StarTrek lemmy server here: https://startrek.website/c/startrek. Looks like a reddit sub with posts, threaded comments, upvotes, &c.

OR you can follow the same server on Mastodon ‪@startrek‬.
Every thread and comment shows up as a boosted post.

Cool, right? Now, say you find a comment that you want to reply to. Post through your favorite Mastodon app, and that feeds right back to the thread on the server! 🤯

Wow! Yet again, added 100,000 accounts within 24 hours!

And it's about to reach 500,000 users!

What's most impressive about this? It's managed to do this without any assistance from the tech press -- with zero Silicon Valley-style hype!

For Reddit alternatives on the Fediverse, I prefer over . Here's why:

  1. Navigation: The top navbar on /kbin seems clear and precise, while Lemmy seems noisy

  2. Posts: There's clear separation in /kbin with boxes, while Lemmy posts are not segmented and therefore bleed into each other.

  3. Discoverability: Even though /kbin is used by drastically fewer people than Lemmy, it seems easier to find people across the Fediverse who discuss topics

There's lots of talk right now about how alternatives such as , and fit into the overall picture of the , with some calling these link-aggregation sites collectively the "Threadiverse". But how does fit into the mix?

Much like a link aggregator, Pinetta allows users to collect and comment on various things like links, text, images, video, and so on. In that sense, it will interact almost seamlessly with federated link aggregators. The main difference, of course, is in the user interface. Pinetta will have a number of modes that users can choose to display content:

  • As a "feed" chronologically or ranked based on most engaging posts (based on favourites and boosts);
  • As a "grid" similar to how displays images in profiles;
  • As a "masonry" layout - much like how displays pins by default;
  • As a "mood board", which will allow users to arrange pins visually to their liking in a freeform 2D layout.

Like what you're reading? So do we. Give us a follow and star our repos on Codeberg to keep up with development!

Half of is about to go dark (tomorrow).

We have Fediverse-friendly alternatives here, and , maybe others ...

And they're about to experience a weird version of the Reddit ... perhaps Mastodon and the whole Fediverse, too.

Servers, moderators and admins may all be overwhelmed.

Eine kleine Anleitung dazu, wie Ihr von #Mastodon, #Friendica, #Hubzilla usw. aus mit #Lemmy kommunizieren könnt

Lemmy ist eine ist eine Art Forensoftware im #Fediverse: Man kann Foren (die in Lemmy "Communitys" genannt werden) abonnieren, Links teilen und an Diskussionen teilnehmen. Ausführlicher haben @Tealk und ich es hier beschrieben.

Du kannst zum einen #Lemmy -Accounts folgen, dann erscheinen die Beiträge in Deiner Timeline und Du kannst darauf antworten, sie teilen usw.
Zum anderen kannst Du auch von Mastodon etc. aus Beiträge in Lemmy-Communitys erstellen.

Einer Community folgen:
Am einfachsten ist es, den Accountnamen vollständig in die Suche zu tippen bzw. eben die URL zu kopieren ins Suchfeld. Das gilt sowohl für Communitys (z.B. [ät]fediversede@feddit.de) als auch für Lemmy-Accounts (z.B. @caos ist mein Lemmy-Account) als auch für einzelne Beiträge in Lemmy (z.B. feddit.de/post/964225 ist ein Beitrag in Lemmy).

Beiträge in Communitys erstellen:
Beiträge in Lemmy-Communitys kannst Du erstellen, indem Du den Communty-Account taggst (deshalb habe ich oben [ät] eingefügt, weil sonst der Beitrag in dem Forum landen kann.
Das ist im Prinzip genauso wie bei Friendica-Foren: Wenn der Account mit @ getaggt wird, teilt er den Beitrag und der Beitrag erscheint dann auch im Forum.
Das ist zum Beispiel ein Beitrag, den ich von Mastodon aus erstellt habe im Testforum von feddit: feddit.de/post/772628

Von Mastodon und Calckey etc. aus ist nur zu beachten: Der Beginn des Posts/ der erste Absatz wird der Titel des Foren-Beitrags, da Mastodon kein Überschriftenfeld hat.

Im ersten Absatz bitte keine Hashtags und keine Links verwenden, die werden in der Überschrift nicht richtig angezeigt!
Also am besten den Beitrag so beginnen (s. Bild 1):

Das ist meine Überschrift (möglichst aussagekräftiger Titel, am besten hier keine Hashtags)
@community
Das ist der weitere Text, Link etc.
ggf. ein Bild (nur im Ausgangspost wird ein Bild von Mastodon nach Lemmy übertragen)

Nach interessanten Foren/Communtys suchen könnt ihr entweder auf einer Instanzseite oder übergreifend auch hier oder hier im neuen "Lemmy Explorer" (s. Bild 2).
Dann URL ins Suchfeld und dem Account folgen.

Wenn Du eine interessante Community gefunden hast, kannst Du deren URL in das Suchfeld reinkopieren, um dem Community-Account zu folgen (s. Bild 3) oder das Handle des Accounts in der Form @communityname eingeben (in Friendica etc. auch mit !) .

Die vergangenen Beiträge werden dann oft nicht angezeigt, aber die, die dann in Zukunft kommen, erscheinen in Deiner Timeline.
Was nicht geht von Mastodon etc. aus, ist eine eigene Community zu erstellen. Dafür braucht es einen Lemmy- oder kbin-Account. Sonst geht eigentlich fast alles (bis auf Bilder in Antworten, die werden m.W. nicht föderiert, siehe im Detail hier).

Wenn Du vielen bzw. sehr aktiven Communitys folgst, kann es v.a. in Mastodon etwas unübersichtlich werden. Einen übersichtlichere Ansicht gibt es, wenn Du es auf die Seite der Community selbst ansiehst, also extern im Browser öffnest.
(Edit: die Original-URL von Beiträgen versteckt sich z.T. hinter dem #Fediverse -Logo)

Es gibt auch noch andere öffentliche Gruppen im #Fediverse z.B. Friendica-Foren und kbin-Magazines, mit denen es ähnlich funktioniert.

Ya'll do realize you can customize what you can/can't see on kbin/lemmy, and your experience is about about how you make it right?

I've just seen a lot of post recently complaining what they see on their front pages such as news, politics, endless memes, etc. But you do know if any of those subs bother you or seem excessive, you can filter the subs so that they don't appear on your front page anymore. Filter memes and 196, and about 70 percent of the memes...

tristan, to kbin

Lemmy.ml (the Lemmy developer's instance) is blocking all requests from /kbin nodes based on user agent alone. Admins in their Matrix room haven't answered multiple requests as to why. This is creating cascading failures for /kbin server owners because Lemmy.ml continues to send outbound requests to /kbin servers while not allowing them to communicate in return, and entirely defederating /kbin instances would honestly be more effective. https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/104218/Lemmy-ml-is-blocking-all-requests-from-kbin-Instances

Three months ago I submitted a post to the sub-reddit called 'Building a better /r/rust together' wherein I hailed as a fitting successor.

Today we have 3 moderately active Rust spaces on the threadiverse. To counteract community fragmentation we need the ability for groups (Lemmy community or magazine) to follow other groups.

Help needed from fedi-curious Rust developer out there: Implement FEP-d36d for Lemmy!

Stubborn holdouts of the increasingly off-putting Twitter/X and Reddit commonly point out how their open source alternatives don't really offer any cool new features.

You know what will never happen? Twitter and Reddit being in direct, seamless interaction with one another. With groups FEP-1b12, & friends are at the precipice of a brand new social networking experience defined by app symbiosis.

Friendship is the “killer feature” of the ! 👯
