fediverse

i migrated from mastodon to firefish recently, and now i’m thinking of moving back to mastodon on account of the shit mobile support firefish has. is this possible?

So, I’m new to the fediverse and Lemmy, and I’m still trying to wrap my brain around it all. I’m sure people have talked about this, but by far my biggest issue so far has been finding communities. I specifically didn’t want t to join a large instance, but that has led to issues of finding communities. I often need to go...

Today I learnt that at beehaw.org you don’t really have to break any instance/community rules to have your comments removed by the admin. In their wiki page they wrote over the top, corporate-sounding articles about how “Beehaw aspires to be a diverse place” where “everyone plays an important role in that mission”, how...

I was recently inspired by this post made by @mookulator to get the subscription statistics for a list of Lemmy instances....

I posted a bit ago on a different account, and yeah here we are. I actually set it up!...

I’m looking for an automatic way to search for an instance that blocks another instance. Instead of manually checking the blocked instances of multiple instances until I find the one that blocks the instance I don’t want to see, I’m wondering if there is a more efficient and automated method to identify such instances.

An in-depth report reveals an ugly truth about isolated, unmoderated parts of the Fediverse. It’s a solvable problem, with challenges.

Artemis was a promising mobile app for Kbin, with a dedicated community, a rapid pace of development, and a high level of polish. Then, the developer disappeared.

Hi folks! Today I have asked myself if I could login with one (no, not google or apple or micosoft) account in all the (30 I think) forums that I have to use as a FOSS admin. Nextcloud Forum, Ubuntu Forum, Mint forum, Makemkv Forum, Papermc Forum, linux.org, etc....

On Mastodon, Followers-only posts are only visible to your followers – and to admins of any instances your followers on. But if you haven’t turned on “approve followes”, anybody who’s logged in to an instance you haven’t blocked can follow you and get access to your followers-only posts....

To really own your content, I think you need to host it yourself. The fediverse makes it possible.

How should I do this?...

I’ve wanted a badge that shows the instance uptime and couldn’t find any, so I created one. It’s available at uptime.lemmings.world/{your-domain}.svg and gets its data from fediverse.observer....

Just passing on a tip from FediTips I didn’t know about. Using the format...

The last couple of days I experienced something that I never felt since I’ve been using Fediverse services. For the first time since half a year ago, I felt like actually being sucked into the Fediverse. I only realized it a couple of days later that I hadn’t looked into Twitter and that’s the crucial point: didn’t even...

I’ve been running my self-hosted one user Pleroma (like Mastodon) instance. When I discovered Lemmy I started following some communities from it and also posted some comments....

Possibly a dumb question, but is there, or could one of the extra smart people here build, a federated marketplace to allow for direct buying and selling without the middle-man enshittification of ebay, reverb, and the like?

Very nice improvement and I hope more fediverse software starts supporting this. tl;dr popular videos are also uploaded by the viewers, thus lowering the server load, similar to Bittorrent, but all in the browser.
