These days I searched and try to understand more about Mastodon alternatives, and see Pleroma and Misskey (and his forks) are more lightweight than Mastodon, and saw some people says Mastodon has some security vulnerabilities....
Im pretty satisfied with Lemmy, but one thing i wish you could do is browse instances. Like i wish there was a way i could almost emulate being on my programming.dev account and see all that instances communities while im logged into this account. Afaik theres no easy way to do that without visiting some aggregator website. It...
Sora is a really cool iOS fediverse app that supports Mastodon, Misskey, Firefish, and Bluesky all at once. It’s slick, has some incredibly innovative features, and is a delight to use....
Bluesky will be opening up Federation this year. There are a lot of Fedi devs that are also working with Bluesky’s Atproto. The podcast and site is not only about the Fediverse but the social web.
For those that were #Artifact users I will share some alternatives in the meantime. This app is not prime time ready just yet but has HUGE potential. You can simply log in with your Mastodon account. apps.apple.com/us/app/…/id6462796101...
Yeah, I truly enjoy Feeeed. It’s cool. There was one that a Fedi dev had but unfortunately I don’t think he’s working on it anymore and it’s no longer available
This podcast has been a long-time coming. Damon, Laurens, and I have been hard at work interviewing all kinds of people building for the Fediverse, and after hours and hours of interviews, we’ve finally started publishing episodes....
As of right now, you can follow either Lemmy accounts directly or follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon relatively easily if you know what you are searching for. This is really cool because you can read (and participate to !) discussions without having tu use a Lemmy-specific app or account. The wonders of the fediverse !...
This is nonsensical to me. Why make a big raucous about Threads and others, go through all of these private and secure measures to then have two accounts, one actively on the side or the Fediverse you so called need protection from? That’s some real privilege
That’s not oppression and that’s offensive to suggest such a thing. You and others are making a big deal about blocking Threads and safety. People having an expectation to hold you to account is not oppression in the slightest. Facebook & Twitter are poor examples because they are well over a decade old thus people have built communities and relationships on those platforms. You and others have stated how those that want to federate with Threads due to relationships, communities and interests that are on Meta’s platform isn’t worth the compromise. Yet, you’re saying it is in fact valuable, so valuable you’ll have an account on this “unsafe” platform. That is hypocrisy not oppression
What if Meta’s hidden objective behind the Threads-to-Mastodon initiative is a play on app.net? And, what if threads.net is a measured step towards what could be the greatest pivot in all of tech?
This has a lot of nonsense. It gives too much credit while vague regarding LLaMA2. It failed to mention a lot of Open Source work Meta has done lately. It was only from a US point of view and not how the EU has been a thorn in Big Tech’s side. Mastodon has 1.6 MAU and many users have multiple accounts. Mastodon is too small for Meta to care about. Those startups Meta squashed were doing innovative things Meta never seen applied before. When it purchased Instagram and WhatsApp there were many millions of active users. Meta as was many Big Tech companies a part of the W3C when AP was being planned and backed out. The Fediverse is about as old as Facebook so Meta has seen this before, Mastodon hasn’t done anything new on this front. Outside of that there are some interesting considerations
I came across this blogpost regarding Mastodon. I would love to get you guys thoughts. This is from earlier in the year, the authors thoughts may have changed but not likely. Some points make sense others not so much. https://artifact.news/posts/p/4808379356679562208?s=6007865051323234948
Opinions on which microblogging federated platform is currently the most stable yet developed one ? I am currently hosting a gotosocial one, but the federation is sometimes a little iffy, so i am in need of some help on deciding what would be the best one to host while being compatible with most of the fediverse.
I used to think that there would be 1, main ‘Fediverse’ with all of the ‘big instances’ connected to each other. The recent Threads debacle has shown me otherwise....
In a Mastodon level this is not true. Blocking Threads.net prevents you from sharing your content with them and for their content to show up. Pixelfed has also enabled user level Authorised fetch which will prevent Threads.net from attempting to fetch that users content
If @mastodon becomes thread-like, I'll leave social network forever. I'm done with meta wanting to control everything, chiefly the freedom of speech in a network used to communicate. I mean, really? The upsidedown World.
I’ll wait for you to read it again. You said there’s less users than that uses Mastodon and that’s not even true. You clearly skimmed passed that part, then commented in odd fashion. When it’s too that failed as you provided false information. Even if you don’t use the article I provided find a recent source that’s not from the summer. Even then at its lowest the numbers was still higher than Mastodon which has 1.6 m MAU

Lemmy interoperability with Mastodon
As of right now, you can follow either Lemmy accounts directly or follow Lemmy communities from Mastodon relatively easily if you know what you are searching for. This is really cool because you can read (and participate to !) discussions without having tu use a Lemmy-specific app or account. The wonders of the fediverse !...
The free fediverses should focus on consent (including consent-based federation), privacy, and safety (privacy.thenexus.today)
Interesting project I came across

The Fediverse is working just as intended.
