Just wondering

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....

super interesting talk on activitypub/fediverse.

최근 Reddit 사태를 겪으면서 ActivityPub 기반의 분산형 서비스인 lemmy와 kbin이 인기를 모으고 있는데 이런 서비스가 한국에서도 잘 쓰일 수 있을지 여러분들의 좋은 의견 부탁드립니다.

Thanks to the recent asshattery of Reddit and its douche CEO, open-source alternatives are blowing up. kbin is a Fediverse platform built with Symfony, API Platform. and Schema Generator 3 by Ernest Wiśniewski. And it’s the one to migrate to if you don’t want to support the c*nts leading Reddit.

Just discovered this recent talk on the Fediverse, and I think it is very instructive! Very cool to see where it's come from, and where it's going....

I'm currently posting this in @kbin@kbin.social. Does that mean this magazine is considered a "user" or "person"?...

Here is what we know about it so far:...

I'm really excited to jump on the Activitypub/Fediverse train, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around how it works. Kbin is federated (or its supposed to be, apparently DDoS protection is hampering that?), but I'm not sure how I can sign up with my Mastodon account. I already have one, @ArchieBAntlers , and apparently...

In the aftermath of a chaotic Twitter takeover, many people have moved away from centralized social media platforms to a new set of social platforms that are open-source, decentralized, and user-centered—like Bluesky, Mastodon, and Nostr. This shift highlights a pressing need for more trustworthy civic spaces. But civic-minded...

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...

Discourse ActivityPub currently allows you to establish a Discourse category as an ActivityPub “Actor”. This means that any other “Person” in the ActivityPub network (such as a Mastodon user) can “Follow” the category on their ActivityPub service....

We are going to need an Activity Pub 2.0 which fixes the major pain points in the eco system. It must be backward compatible with 1.x, but will introduce new, more scalable, extensible, interoperable ways of doing things for a larger federation and ecosystem. Systems using 1.x can signal it, and those using 2.0 should accept 1.x...
