Risk Matrix for Algorithm Decision Systems by Kraft and Zweig - To which category belong post-curation-algorithms in the Fediverse? (lemmy.world)
(Scope for agency loss means that its comes at low cost to switch to an alternative and intensity of potential harm means the amount of harm that is inflicted on the individuum if the algorithm is bad (e.g. for lethal automatic weapons it would be very high))...

LEGEND OF LARRY: Into the Fediverse (fedifiction) (lemmy.world)
In a world shrouded in mystery and enchantment, nestled amidst rolling hills and dense forests, there existed a small city. This quaint settlement was unlike any other, for it was enveloped by a mighty castle, its towering spires reaching for the heavens. And within those stone walls, a mad king reigned, his iron grip extending...
New Article on FediPrimer - What Is Lemmy? (fediprimer.org)
Following on from my initial primer article on the very basics of what the Fediverse is, this next article concentrates on what Lemmy is, explaining in very simple terms how to choose an instance that’s right for you, how to find and join Communities, what to expect, how federation works on Lemmy etc....
[Question] ActivityPub Blogging Platform
Hi! I’m looking to publish a blog that can be discovered through interactions on the fediverse, and potentially displays replies as comments. I had set up WriteFreely and, though it is missing the replies feature, it seemed pretty well-made. However, when I tried to publish my post, pressing “Move to [blog name]” made it...

If a comment is in a gray box in your inbox, does that mean it was deleted?
Not sure if this is the best place for this. If not, I apologize. I just want to understand Lemmy better.

Several Lemmy iOS apps look to have left TestFlight!
I’m currently trying Voyager. Initial impression is that it seems like a great app.
With Postmarks, social bookmarking is back -- but this time it's built on the fediverse | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)
Instance graveyard website
Is there a website that shows a list of dead instances and how long they were alive and why they died? I think that would be a cool website. It could be for Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon, and everywhere else in the Fediverse!
Is anyone having problems viewing images on Tusky?
Lately Tusky is taking quite some time to load images for me, can it be the app or maybe the instance that I’m in?
Introducing yet another AutoMod for Lemmy (github.com)

The Living Web: Will there eventually be a protocol on top of (or as a part of) ActivityPub to run distributed LLMs on instances, with the LLMs feeding on the data generated by the Fediverse? (lemmy.world)
Last year, the corporate-dominated web came alive, much thanks to the help of corporate-owned social media platforms - how long will it take until the open sections of the web do so?...
What are your favorite Lemmy instances?
Group Convergence (blog.erlend.sh)
Groups as both a formal ActivityPub spec and general concept deeply invigorate me. I previously wrote about group-to-group following (FEP-d36d) as the missing glue layer to successfully transition /r/rust to the threadiverse....
Recommended Pixelfed Instance?
I want to create a Pixelfed account but I’m not sure which instance to choose. I’m in the US, so I was just going to pick the default and largest option, but I know spreading out the instances is one advantage to the federated network, so it then makes sense to choose a smaller one....
Any chance to have a separated [PORN] tag to avoid blocking all kind of NSFW posts?
Many NSFW have nothing to do with porn. Sometimes are horror contents, some times are crude images, some times are just lazy people who don’t know of the Spoiler tag. Can we have a quick and easy way to filter off all the (very funny but not alway wanted) Porn posts without locking out those other contents???
