I'm learning about the Fediverse and am confused about how federation is supposed to work. I understand that there can be communities with the same name in different instances, with different content. But I also understand you can subscribe to another instance's community. For example, there are sysadmin commnunities at...

I'm pretty new to the fediverse, and I find the idea amazing. But one thing concerns me though. How will server owners be able to afford to run servers with massive amounts of data coming through them? Theoretically speaking, if a Reddit migration were to happen how would server upkeep costs look like?

I’m currently on a mission to compile a list of health-related communities and overall maybe turn that community into something useful and available to everyone. (If someone wants to help, I’ll welcome it. This is just a quick and dirty start.)...

This may be a very stupid idea, and I know blockchain has a bad reputation for scams, but I was wondering how viable the Internet Computer blockchain might be for a Fediverse universal ID. From what I read on their website, data is much cheaper to host on their blockchain (something like 70 million times less than on Ethereum)....

It would be nice to see a feature or some kind of extension to redirect Lemmy links from other instances to yours so you can interact with them. Because you need an accound to interact and it’s on another instance....

On Reddit you could make a custom feeds with selected subreddits for when you wanted to focus on specific topics. Suuuuper useful for more niche stuff that gets drowned out by larger subs on the Home feed....

Anyone well known who wants to speak out about what’s been happening on reddit? Louis Rossmann? Apollo dev? John Oliver (one can dream)… or maybe former Reddit mods who were kicked out?...

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...

Am I crazy here?...

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

I started moving from Reddit to Lemmy a few days ago, and since then I’ve been forcing myself to spend time here and getting myself used to it. I quickly checked the list of popular instances and decided to join lemmy.world and not beehaw because I didn’t like their decision of defederating other big lemmy instances....

Good news: lemmy.world has overtaken lemmy.ml and now holds the top spot as the #1 non-bot lemmy instance....

Firstly, there is the unstoppable flood of new posts that are added while browsing "All". Although this doesn't happen when using the Jerbea app, it sometimes renders "All" unusable in the browser....

A lot of us come from reddit, so we’re naturally inclined to want a reddit-like platform. However, it occurred to me that the reddit format makes little sense for the fediverse....

I am pretty new to the fediverse, but have been sort of aware about its presence since elon took over twitter. I am having some trouble figuring out how to use other parts of the fediverse. For example, I came across a link to a post from beehaw, but was unable to comment on it. How do I do that?...

So, somehow I got lost in the internet woods and came across birdsiteLIVE - which is basically a bot that makes twitter accounts viewable on the fediverse with activitypub(it’s one way unfortunately, so twitter accounts won’t see any replies or anything like that)....

My apologies for the probably stupid question, I’m still trying to get a grip on the interoperability between services in the Fediverse. I have both a kbin and a Lemmy account, still checking which fits me the best. If I’m on one of them, can I follow a magazine when being on Lemmy, or the opposite?...

Calckey is a federated microblogging platform. More specifically it’s a fork of misskey which itself is an alternative of Mastodon....

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

Hi! I’m dropping by from another corner of the #Fediverse to say hello & welcome to everyone in the #RedditMigration....

This server isn’t the only one I’m running in the Fediverse :-) I’m currently running these:...

The way I see it, Lemmy and the Fediverse as a whole is a big step back to the golden age of the internet before social media became the cancer that it is today and the internet wasn't controlled by a few big corporations. A big part of that, to me at least, is that you could customize your accounts, home pages, profiles, and so...
