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 noticed that when I view this post for example on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/post/291005 and on dataterm.digital: https://dataterm.digital/post/54221 that both of them are the same post but with a different number of votes and comments....
EDIT: I know many people have a knee-jerk aversion to anything crypto, but this is not a scheme to make money. I would be happy to see this done with fiat as well, but IMO this is much easier to do with smart contracts....

I know about mastodon and Lemmy, are there and other alternatives to bug sites in the fediverse?
Hello everybody. I’ve been browsing the Fediverse for a few months now and I’m loving it but there’s a not-that-small issue I’m having with Pixelfed...
I think Tumblr has a pretty unique style in terms of how it works. Even though it’s completely centralised, it already almost feels like it’s federated. So is there an actual fediverse platform that’s similar to it?
Hey, I am relatively new to the federated web and I only use lemmy currently. But I love the idea of an alternative social web ecosystem that is not ruled by big corporations. To see how the fediverse has developed in 2020 I decided to look into the stats (stats go from 2nd January 2020 til today) over at...

I feel like Bookwyrm has proven the idea of a federated review platform. Could this be extended to local business reviews?...
It would be extremely funny
Is there a federated alternative to Stack Exchange?
I've been having a look at https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy and taking note of the servers where total users is orders of magnitude larger than active users, but I was wondering if there was a comma separated list that we could import into our ban-list....
If you ran Lemmy or kbin locally as a single user instance with no hosted communities and it was not live all of the time would you miss a lot pushed data? Would this data be pulled later? Would this cause de-federation?
With the current reddit migration happening I’ve remembered when Tumblr promised they were gonna add support for ActivityPub “ASAP”....
Hi! I have a 2 cores/2 GB VPS with very light use, right now....
for the longest time a lot of images posted to reddit were really posted on imgur (until they started hosting it on their own, too). is there a fediverse’d imgur we should be using to complement lemmy? its docs say it shouldn’t be used for large images and videos....
Live video streaming, i mean
I have been trying to get access to my feed for most of the day, and I am just getting timed out messages and no feeds. Anyone else part of this instance? Can you confirm if it is alive....
I am looking to just dip my toes on a couple of other platforms. What I am finding while trying to choose an instance for Funkwhale (or Friendica, Pixelfed, etc) is that there is very little in the way of descriptions for finding something to match me and I would just be choosing at random....
