Does anyone know what this thing is? Some kind of decentralized, open source, anti-establishment, etc platform aiming to be an alternative to twitter, but we plebs aren’t allowed to see or participate in the development process or even see any source repositories yet....
We have bookwyrm.social, which does an excellent job at replacing the need for goodreads (which is owned by Amazon). But is there an alternative to imdb.com?
Lionir elected to prevent any potential data leaks by shutting down Beehaw until the issues lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are identified and resolved
How do you feel about meta hypothetically pressing the phase 2 button, which updates threads to have a reddit-like mode that federates and uses lemmy content as free seed content?...
It will be interesting to see more traditional BB forum software interconnect with other networks. All the gaming forums that will be able to cross post…
I received an email about threads and Mastadon a bit ago. The thing is I deleted my Mastadon account a hot minute after I created it. The email has no way to unsubscribe from it https://i.imgur.com/dyrNcAB.png...

I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here....
This is a comprehensive guide that I wrote for people new to Mastodon, and people interested in trying it out. It’s more of a “field manual” than anything else, but it attempts to highlight some of the most important things new users should know about, while introducing them to the bigger concept of the Fediverse.
Additionally, In order to not overwhelm the largest Lemmy instances, I opted to register with a smaller one. Should I apply the same logic to mastodon.social and the other large instances?...

Or have I misunderstood entirely?
Can someone help me with how peertube P2P works? I can understand how ActivityPub is used for all the "social" parts but I'm a bit confused about the actual video player....
Hey, i’m a software developer and i’m considering trying to build a site using ActivityPub, but i have a few concerns about it. My first concern is that if the platform is open source someone can host a malicious version of it, where certain requests may be ignored (such as deletion)....
I know about mastodon and Lemmy, are there and other alternatives to bug sites in the fediverse?
The issue with e-commerce is mostly the same as that of social media, there are only a couple of platforms hence they can dictate everything for the users. So do you think the fediverse could also benefit e-commerce or could there be something resembling the fediverse but for e-commerce?
The lemmyverse sounds perfect, but it ignores alternatives like kbin etc. It would be better if we didn’t end up with the situation we have with Mastodon where people assume Mastodon is the fediverse....
I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished. Here is how Indivudals can do it on mastodont as an example to follow....
We really shouldn’t take this Meta thing lightly....
What’s stopping us from using the api to post all of reddit here in a massive one-time merger?...
