Fediverse

Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots....

We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past...

Okay, so right now government agencies, schools, and small business often use Facebook or Twitter for their web presence rather than start their own websites. For a few days there, while Twitter had the login-wall up and was rate-limiting, we had some serious problems wtih Amber Alerts, weather notices, safety notices and other...

The next 2 weeks...any predictions/bets on what it will be then?

Looking for the best place in the fediverse that is dedicated towards images and/ or posting art. Any suggestions?

I know about PixelFed, but I'm not interested in photo sharing social media style. I just want something that works like Imgur when you upload your images as private. Maybe PixelFed has that option?...

Biden’s Threads posts can show up in Mastodon clients.

The Dutch government has officially launched their own Mastodon server. In an accompanying letter, the State Secretary explains how this relates to the government strategy of supporting digital common goods.

My instance is quite liberal and not many instances are defederated. But there are some instances I don’t want to see at all, like containing NSFW content....

Concerning the current debate on Meta, I‘m a bit concerned over where I should make my home. I don‘t want corporations to intrude and ruin my just newly found space of freedom. They would just offer "help" and then centralise and privatise and infest it with ads, data collection and profit motive. I need to search for the...

The content hosted on Youtube cannot be 100% hosted legally. It is impossible to believe that you can find a full album of Pink Floyd hosted on Youtube and that's a legal thing....

Instance and Community Explorer for Lemmy

So, I'm new to the Fediverse as it seems that Reddit is a sinking ship. I've been trying to figure out how to customize my feed so I only see content from the Magazines that I subscribe. Like how you can customize your feed on Reddit to only show posts from subreddits that you were in....

There’s a crucial difference between federatable and federated.

In the typical web marketing infrastructure, a company signs up for an email account for private messages, Twitter/X account for microblogging, YouTube account for video sharing, and Reddit for forum discussion....

I realized that there are alot of inactive communities across the Lemmy and kbin instances. The beauty of decentralization is that we don't rely on a central instance, if a fediverse instance becomes the central one that hosts the majority of posts, then if that instance goes down, we lose alot.

I was thinking about how there are similar communities on different instances. In some cases that is desirable/ok but maybe it would be cool to have another option....

I'm getting started with my new band and as a recent reddfugee I was wondering if we could set up our web presence in the Fediverse. Now where would we do this? We'd like to upload songs, share news about concerts and stuff, and post pics from recent events.

So.. I get this on some of my subscribed communities on other instances. I get some of the content, but nowhere near all. Is there a ranking which preferences synching of other instances communities? The more popular ones never seem to have this problem.. Or is there just 'lag' between instances and it's something that will have...

I do love the fediverse but man...what I wouldn't do to live in the fetaverse
