Title, pretty much. I’m in a couple of niche communities, and thought I should expa d into more generalized communities. All things tech are of interest, really....
@raphael
> for extra points, maybe publish them to a Lemmy community?
It would be good if we could have one TIL community across the whole fediverse. Lemmy immediately seemed less useful to me when I learned that there can be a totally disconnected TIL community on every Lemmy instance. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, for a critical mass of people to converge on a community, as they can on a subReddit.
finally moved off beehaw and to pawb.social for my home #lemmy instance
i really like beehaw's community but i dont want it to be my home instance given they've defederated with most of the active corners of the fediverse. hopefully this gets me more active on lemmy since i'm slipping back towards reddit lol
I’m pretty happy with how #moderation tools for #PieFed are coming along!
Moderators can:
delete & edit anything in community
ban people from community, and unban them.
review reports about content in that community
mark a report as resolved / ignored.
When a report is resolved or ignored, all reports regarding that content are also resolved. So if something receives 150 reports then mods won’t need to click 150 times to resolve all reports. Ignored reports stop all future reports from being accepted.
The person who created the community can appoint other moderators.
Reports federate to and from #Lemmy so if a PieFed user reports some content that came from a Lemmy instance the moderators on the Lemmy instance will be notified about the content being reported.
There’s still more to be done with federation of bans, a moderation log, etc. But it’s shaping up nicely!
So, @eatyourglory and I were discussing Lemmy and he had a good question/idea. Could Lemmy communities technically be subdomains? Like instead of Lemmy.world/c/example, it could be example.lemmy.world?
Would this be something that could be theoretically built into Lemmy or is there some kinda technological limitation, making this not a thing..? I think it's a neat idea.🤷♂️🤔
What does it mean to federate your Flipboard profile? In the simplest terms, it means that whatever you curate (aka share) on Flipboard will be "syndicated" out to the fediverse with no extra effort. @miaq tests it out and breaks it down.
I'm not OP, but #Flipboard seems like a sort of a link aggregator (called "flips"). You can keep your own links (publicly or privately) and follow other people's curated links, and comment on them.
A little bit like a #Reddit or #Lemmy - except the links are emphasized more than the conversation.
I didn't know how to federate my links, though. So this article is interesting!
It's so crazy to me to think that I was on Xhitter for like 4 years and had a total of about 120 followers, most of which were spammers messaging me about "stream graphics".
I've been on Fedi for less than a year and have 5x that amount of followers and probably only enough spammers to count on one hand. I love this place.
The Sublinks team has written up a little survey, which we feel is both thorough and inclusive. It covers a wide range of topics, such as user privacy, and community engagement, along with trying to gauge things that are difficult when moderating.
Et si on rédigeait un article de presse sur le fediverse et qu'on le publiait un peu partout dans la presse ? Pour le moment on a pas une image super positive car 3000 serveurs c'est compliqué, que l'ui est austère...ça me gave.
Le tout en passant sous silence ce qu'on reproche aux réseaux sociaux capitalistes : cambridge analytica, transphobie, déni du rechauffement climatique...Et ça fait pas bouger plus que ça :bugcat_what:
Pourquoi ne pas faire une tribune pour inviter le gouvernement à suivre l'exemple de la commission européenne et des institutions allemandes qui sont sur mastodon ? :)
Pourquoi ne pas imaginer un immense dossier de presse sur les réseaux sociaux : ferme à clic, les modo de facebook, le contenu violent, le genocide des meymar puis on aborde le fédiverse avec l'interview des modos, des admins, des hebergeurs...et on présente quelques instances françaises, francophones.
Ça me brancherait bien comme aventure et qu'elle soit portée collectivement. Pas facile mais mon reve serait d'aller à la gare et de lire plusieurs grands titres sur le fédiverse. Et de donner envie à d'autres personnes de nous rejoindre. :)
Will be my 1-year anniversary on Mastodon and the fediverse in June. Been that long since I left Reddit.
But I still feel very much like a noob. For example, I have a hard time grasping why I can’t sign into my Mastodon profile (https://lemmy.world/u/Hyphlosion@donphan.social ) on lemmy. There’s obviously a profile of my posts, so why can’t I sign into it on lemmy and use it?
Dear @potus, I am excited to see you joining the fediverse, but I question your decision to join Threads.
Please consider committing to #OpenGovernment by creating @potus this will allow you to reach all #Threads users as well as the millions on #Mastodon#Misskey#Friendica#Pixelfed#Lemmy and more with just one account and without favoring a commercial endeavour that still has the power to censor you.
Anyone have a guide to using #bookwyrm they like or have found helpful?
I've had a few friends sign up and mention they were a bit confused about getting started, finding people, finding/adding books, etc. Ideally something geared toward users who are familiar with the fediverse but still a bit new to it. #askFedi
@peoplelikedogs I would reccomend the guided tour on every #bookwyrm instance (found in the footer) as that was perfect for me the first time. Just follow up on what it says to continue the tour, and you should be good. If you have any more questions i would ask the admins/mods of the instance, or do this (asking for help), on online platforms like #mastodon or #lemmy.
Um grupo de extrema direita que ficou mordido com o posicionamento que tomamos em relação a ditadura militar e a liberdade de acesso ao lazer e conhecimento iniciou hoje ataques de DDoS contra o nosso servidor.
Estou indo atrás de reforçar nossa infraestrutura e não vou abandonar esse projeto de descentralização e democratização da informação.
Thinking back on my pre-#Fediverse experience, when "social media" took off, my engagement was little different to the shitlords who enjoy their status on those media. Economics says you get what you incentivise for.
But since starting this account, and others on other Fediverse sites (#BookWyrm, #Lemmy, #Pixelfed, etc), I've really got into the groove of being positive, ignoring or downplaying the negative.
It's how I want the Internet to be. Be (as in YOU) the change you want to see.
What are some interesting communities on Matrix worth checking out?
