fediverse

Can we all stop the in-fighting for a minute and realise how awesome the platform we are on is?...

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

Hey Fediverse,...

I know there is revolt as a FOSS alternative to discord but it’s not federated.

Is there a federated alternative to Stack Exchange?

Is there some application like a wiki in the fediverse? A place to gather and edit information together about a specific topic.

Is there a Fediverse option for hosting fanfiction, or maybe web novels/serials/etc? Like an AO3 alternative, basically. I looked around but couldn't find one, the closest thing that kinda works are the blogging platforms like writefreely. If there isn't, do you think fanfiction would be a good candidate for federation?

Why isn't it so popular compared to mastodon? I just found out about it and it looks pretty mature imo, it's only popular with japanese people.

This blog post by Ploum, who was part of the original XMPP efforts long ago, describes how Google killed one great federated service, which shows why the Fediverse must not give Meta the chance

A response to Daring Fireball’s recent thinkpieces about Fediverse admins wanting to block Meta’s new ActivityPub platform.

Rebuilding this site has been a labor of love. So many things are happening in this space, and it’s growing in every direction like crazy.

Ok, they could use pixelfed instead, but IG/PF are not the best fit for holding a project (for example your artistic/therapeutic/whatever...

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....

Ian Betteridge (of the “Betteridge’s Law of Headlines”) opines on the recent Meta (Facebook) / Fediverse controversy.

Lemmy has multiplied it's number of users (maybe more accurately accounts) in just few days. How much do you think is the percentage of bot accounts? Is Lemmy having problem with bot farming?

Anyone tried this?

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?

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....
