Yep, it looks like there is a XSS vulnerability with Lemmy that has been widely exploited, allowing the attackers to steal cookie credentials including potentially those of the site admins.
Some other non-compromised Lemmy instances have taken themselves offline until a fix is available.
Kbin is not affected as far as I can see.
If you have a Lemmy account, don't use it at the moment!
A problem many have realized is that there are many /tech, /gaming etc. communities in different instances/servers. There is already https://fediverse.observer/ , so I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a service that periodically roams the fediverse, checks for example the last 100,000 submissions of each (or top 100 active...
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....
"'The threadiverse', aka #fediverse group servers like #guppe, #lemmy and #kbin are all based on the premise that each community is hosted on one instance, but users and posts can come from all over. So it's like any normal #phpBB-style forum, except you use your own user instead of having to register and check everywhere.
Makes sense to me, and I'm not saying that they should do it any other way, but this is exactly how mailing lists work."
Apart from running it well and keeping up to date (recent update seems to have gone well, with a nice example of instances and admins helping each other!?), some redditers seek the big instances?? Curious how communities will adapt.
Finally got an android phone to daily drive for a while. Wanna give some Material You love to #ArtemisApp. Checkout those colors and tab bar. Not just an iphone ripoff 😂 #android#kbin#Threadiverse
For anyone missing browsing Reddit on #Apollo, I strongly encourage trying out #Lemmy with https://wefwef.app added to your phone’s homescreen. The UI is nearly identical to Apollo’s, and at times I forget I’m browsing a web client instead of an installed app. Definitely made my transition to using the #Threadiverse easier!
How beautiful. 💕 A lovely send-off song for #Apollo users. @christianselig is all class. As many #Reddit users have said these past few weeks, fuck u/Spez. Mourning the loss of such a great app and the direction of Reddit. Long live the #threadiverse 💜
I have accounts in #Mastodon, #Calckey, #Kbin, and #Lemmy because I want to try all the things. But it’s starting to feel redundant. Especially between Kbin and Lemmy.
I’m trying to figure out a useful blend or system for interacting with all of them with the minimum number of discrete accounts and apps. A #medaverse#app/#platform, if you will.
Speaking of #lemmy Tomorrow Reddit shuts off 3rd party access so many of you will be going Hoshit! and looking for where people migrated to on the #threadiverse.
Lemmy and Kbin both look like crap compared to reddit right now (they weren't ready for reddit to implode yet) SO once you've signed up on an instance (same basic idea as mastodon) head over to https://wefwef.app
Believe the hype, y’all. @hariette and the team are building something special with @ArtemisApp. The alpha feels better than some finished products I’ve used recently. So much polish in every pixel of this thing. #artemis#threadiverse#RedditMigration#reddit
