fediverse

I believe that the Fediverse can and should be more than a niche thing for those that reject Big Tech....

Old habits die hard, but there’s Reddiquette which needs to be revived, and some which needs to die....

Two posts, two different instances, two different sets of comments. Ok, there are pros and cons:...

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

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...

FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites....

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?...

With the vlemmy situation ongoing, i feel like it would be useful to put this here (i did not make either of these tools)...

The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate....

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?...

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.

Or have I misunderstood entirely?

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)....

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....

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?

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....
