John Mastodon was a computer programmer and avid social media user. He was frustrated with the centralized nature of most social media platforms, which meant that a single company had control over the content and data of its users. This often led to censorship, privacy violations, and manipulation by the companies for their own...
For those who don’t know, a.gup.pe is an independent service that brings group behaviour (somewhat like communities here) to mastodon. It’s kinda nice and quite a few use it on mastodon....
A large corporate shopping mall settles in a nice neighborhood with small local run shops and community centers. The new shopping mall says ‘if we settle here, more people will come, and you all will benefit’. A few years later all small shops are bankrupt and the community is destroyed. What remains is a barren corporate...
An Android app for Meta’s federated Twitter competitor was accidentally leaked, and people are already datamining it for clues.
Hey guys! I was wondering if Mastodon is down or something cause I’ve been trying to login and see all the content there but apparently it’s either really slow or it’s just straight not even working. I did check my internet but it’s working for me on all other websites. Just wanted to make sure!
Federated Code forges have been an ongoing development for some time, but their introduction could provide a way to connect many different projects and organizations across the web, using the ActivityPub-based ForgeFed spec.

This list on codeberg is one of the best I’ve seen.
A detailed look at the timeline behind Meta’s interactions with the Fediverse, how different parts of the network have reacted, and some insights on where things might be going.
I assume this is mastodon.social. Small compared to twitter, but it’s progress.
Hi guys, I’m changing my phone to one with less resources. Part a detox era, kind off. My question is, how convenient is to keep using fedilab and husky as main apps in a less powerful phone. Is that right? Is more convenient to go directly at main pages?

Hey I just created awesome-lemmy based on the well-known awesome lists....
I think there are good reasons to not let corporate interests join the space we built to escape them, but I guess every instance is free to (de)federate with whomever they want....
Hello everyone....
A post on kbinMeta states that “Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances.” More details here, but the theory is that – rather than defederating – lemmy.ml returns a 403 ‘access denied’ message in response to any inbound requests from a user agent with “kbinBot” in the string....
Can we all stop the in-fighting for a minute and realise how awesome the platform we are on is?...
I know there is revolt as a FOSS alternative to discord but it’s not federated.
