fediverse

Where did it go? 😥...

I'm one of the people who has very recently tried Lemmy and decided to drop Reddit. Initially because I will no longer be able to use SyncForReddit, but now also because I just like the vibe a lot more here than Reddit....

You can tell they’re kinda into it

Kolektiva was founded as a direct result of anarchist and antifascist projects being kicked off of Facebook in 2020...........

coming from reddit

From 3000 daily active users on June 1, 2023 to 47500 on June 26, 2023....

Active users as of June 25, 2023:...

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...

Granted, the warning says clearly "If you deselect Undetermined, you will not see most content", which places the onus on the individual user, as apposed to logic built into Lemmy on which posts/comments can be viewed, while also leaving it to each user to have to weed out alternate languages for their views which are...

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.)...

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?

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....

Am I crazy here?...

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...

From 3000 daily users to 41000 active daily users!...

Fedidb.org recommends people who view their statistics on their “Threadiverse” tracking page that people should not use graphs and numbers from the total users due to the surge of bot-accounts, and should instead use the monthly active users. This puts the “Threadiverse” at 87,089. Lemmy with 37,197 and Kbin at 44,136....
