Fediverse

This is Fosstodon's official stance on the whole Facebook joining the Fediverse debacle.

Interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon and the Fediverse...

With its latest update, PeerTube now supports remote transcoding (in shared servers etc). This is huge and can help with the large amount of computing power required to trandcode 4k videos.

Seeing stuff about reddit being posted to 10 different technology boards, plus reddit-themed ones, then reposted further just makes this whole idea a mess. Reposts have to be consolidated into a single comment thread.

Attached: 2 images I'm not kidding, @pixelfed has silently shipped Live streaming support over a year ago. I don't think it's ready for prime time yet, that's why I haven't advertised it that much. I'm working to ship this within the next month 🚀 https://docs.pixelfed.org/running-pixelfed/optional-features/livestreaming/...

New research from my team on the #TwitterMigration: This is our 3rd quarterly update on which platforms are growing, new entries such as #BlueSky, #Substack Notes, #Nostr & all public data on Meta's #project92 Includes latest on the #RedditMigration, New polling, new posting data & more. Welcome any notes or feedback & boosts!...

Imagine a world without platform lock-in, where no ban or billionaire could take down your social network. That’s what ActivityPub has planned.

A growing number of instances (mainly of Mastodon so far) are signing an 'Anti-Meta Fedi Pact', pledging to block any instance owned by Meta in the fediverse....

Instance and Community Explorer for Lemmy

Rather than try to act like a link aggregator where people submit links to articles and images and that submission comes with a comment thread specific to the fediverse instance in which it was submitted, what if each news site, image host, blog, whatever was itself the instance and the reddit-style instances federate with...

Tracking the growth of Lemmy + Kbin

The growth of Lemmy and Kbin continues with the #redditmigration. Flickr is considering ActivityPub support, and new proposals to help people join the fediverse.

I had been having trouble getting meaningful results from the fediverse on Google, and after seeing this post, it seems I'm not the only one. So, I created a site that helps search the fediverse in your search engine of choice (it currently supports Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and Dogpile)....

I have two questions mainly:...

I’d like to explore a project for NLP based search on the fediverse. But I’m a fediverse beginner and am not sure if it’s possible to index fediverse content....

The real history is much messier—and more inspiring.

I'm just curious, since I tend to get attached to my accounts but I also like having access to all information so I don't want to use a defederated instance. If, say, kbin got overrun by bad actors and was defederated by everyone else, is the only option to jump ship? Unfortunately I don't have the capability to selfhost or I...

I wondered how this would go. It wasn’t even close.

I've heard you can do a google search and append say kbin.social to get results just from kbin, but if I wanted to treat the fediverse's content like reddit's, is there a way to do the google search on just everything that's on the fediverse?...

IDK you guys might be interested in the fedi-wide music competition (inspired by Eurovision season) - voting is just DMing the bot... I'm pretty sure even the L/k accounts can do it via message (but I'm not even sure how to access writing one.... I've been receiving them fine though).

news from Lemmy

So I was thinking of a few ways to help create a bit of direction in the chaos... These are probably already in the works or intentionally NOT implemented, so I'd like to hear why or why not. These are just a few thoughts of mine....
