fediverse

With Meta starting to actually implement ActivityPub, I think it would be a good idea to remind everyone of what they are most likely going to do.

Tl:dr: Remember the human, even if the project doesn’t work, it wasn’t as useless as it may seem, resources consumption may be concerning...

I think there’s a need for a social media platform that allows users to create multiple customizable feeds tailored to their specific, fluid interests over time....

If you think Lemmy is a bit too quiet today, that’s probably why....

I made the choice of hosting some Fediverse software on a domain name I own, however that piece of software (Akkoma, upgraded from Pleroma) has since become unacceptably unstable, and I’d like to switch to something else. I read that if I’m already federating with other servers, I shouldn’t switch software on the same...

Anyone here into cryptosystems? Electronic voting? I would be interested in a solution to the following problems or some variants....

Greetings! I joined the Fediverse near the beginning of this year. Mastodon was the first platform I joined. Since then, I have been enjoying my experience, and recently, I joined Lemmy and found myself using that site almost as much as I did with Reddit (before the mass exodus)....

I’m thinking of spinning up some streaming for a couple of games in the near future, (I always do massive 400+ hour factories in Satisfactory) and was wondering if there’s a place or software to stream on that’s not Amazon, Google, Microsoft, or Meta? I’m not looking for revenue or massive followers, this would just be...

Hey, if there are any folks here involved in friendly forks of fediverse software - Do you use any fancy merge strategies to merge upstream changes into your fork? What's your mileage?...

So, Lemmy is sometime missing content. I don’t regret switching from Reddit to Lemmy but, expecially for niche communities, the content isn’t always here....
