fediverse

Imagine federation as a spectrum where on one end everyone has his own instance (server) and on the other end one centralized server....

Is there any way to download Fedilab for free outside of the F-Droid repository? I know they have the code on Codeberg but I could not find an APK file on there

I recently migrated my instance to another host which I freaked up and spent 6 hours fixing. I want to know if federation is working properly.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I would rather see the most upvoted comments at the top. I have my feeds sorted by Top Day so I see something different every day....

FediRedirect is a browser extension that redirects you to your favorite instance....

I notice that when I search for communities I see the same community has been created on multiple instances. I could subscribe to all of them but I’d much rather it be one larger community. Does any else see this as an issue or find this frustrating? If so, have you done anything that’s made it easier to deal with or have...

Hey there, I finally decided to try out Pixelfed and made an account on an Instance close to me (really nice instance-finder imho). Yet, the instance itself is rather small and when I open the global feed, Pixelfed turns into a mastodon-client basically since all it shows are Mastodon-Toots. Also, all “Discover” Features...

Hab die App eben runtergeladen. Sieht gut aus, feddit-Anmeldung klappte binnen Sekunden, sieht auch auf dem IPad klasse aus. Nur zum kommentieren bin ich wohl zu blöd, keine Ahung wie man das dort macht.

Another Lemmy newbie question here....

Sorry for reposting, but I think it is crucial to talk about this. Fediverse forward 🏁

I’m aware that many Soapbox instances are somewhat controversial. Is this to the extent that any Soapbox instance would have the same reputation?

Within 5 minutes of usage my pihole instance blocked 100s of request and DDG app protection blocked facebook trackers. This should be illegal...

I found this interesting and was wondering how some of the larger instances handle the issues they outline such as...

Reddit always suffered from multiple of the same subs, or it was hard to track down regional subs. a regional sub naming convention might help alleviate this issue. instead of just toronto make it torontocanada [place:country] for example?

Hello, is there at the moment any option to have lemmy, kbin and mastodon implemented in a single application? At the moment I am using wefwef.

I am new to Lemmy and am struggling with a usability issue that is making it virtually unusable. Every few seconds (I am assuming every time a new post is made) a new post pops at the top of the feed, no matter what my sorting method is. This causes any post I had open to close and for all posts to bump down which means I...

In addition to lemmy.world, the #2 real lemmy instance, lemmy.ml, seems to be growing as well....

Disclaimer: I’m no IT expert/man. I’m just wondering what structure these instances should be....
