fediverse

I just want to praise wefwef. On iOS it is a great app alternative which you can add to the homepage....

There are many lemmy instances in the world, but currently most people are using lemmy.world. This is why everything has gotten so slow....

How do people go about finding moderators they trust for a community? I could find someone who posts a lot and then ask them in a private message, but maybe there is some other way. Do people mainly mod people they know personally? I kind of want to find someone who is in a completely different time zone so they would be awake...

I do not want my posts from anywhere on the Fediverse on FaceBook....

I recently noticed I can’t find source code for pixelfeds official android app, is this intended?

I joined the fediverse like 2 weeks ago. I’m trying to find the answers to all my doubts reading discussions around, watching videos etc, but there are still some questions I’m looking an answer for. Here they are:...

Will I still see contents from people who are from servers that don’t defederate from Meta’s Threads?

I get the impression that we’re headed for the same issues that pop up when we put all our eggs in one basket with Reddit/FB/whatever. People flock to the largest instance, and someday that instance could go down due to cost or the host losing interest....

I made this based on the gripe about some of the silent failures with federation. Might help users choose other servers. Might help admins troubleshoot. Open to comments and criticisms!

Trying to follow the advice and sign up to a closer instance and found the most active one in the UK (as far as I can see anyway)....

After a week on Lemmy/kbin it strikes me that one of the major oncoming problems that the Fediverse has is the fragmentation of communities across multiple instances that were formerly centralized in reddit. While this fragmentation into instances has significant upsides, it shifts responsibility for finding and subscribing to...

You know how people looked at the dumb decisions of #StocktonRush and said don’t get in the #Titan ?...

Hi, I just realized that my previous attempts to join the fediverse via Mastodon or Lemmy where just blocked by my choice on the mail provider. I never got any confirmation mail neither in the inbox nor in spam, tested with multiple servers, mask addresses. Just right now tried it with my Gmail account and got the mail...

I’d like to login on an instance that doesn’t block other instances and I get to decide what and what not I want to see

I would really like the ability to create my own algorithm. For example, I follow communities for my local sportsball team and memes. Memes, I really just want to see what’s “hot” for the last day but my sportsball I want to see everything posted for the last week....

A prediction market on whether or not a major news publisher will commit to the Fediverse before July 2024.

Since the Fedidverse is all connected, should I have one account for accessing both Lemmy and Mastodon or have separate accounts for each one (as I do now)?

I’ve seen a few posts today mulling over possible solutions to some of the issues caused by Lemmy’s explosive growth in the past few weeks. I’d like to walk through the situation as I see it, point out a few differences I’ve noticed in the federated model vs. what users of other social media may be used to, and offer a...
