fediverse

Is it just the momentum and word of mouth, or are there improved features as well?

How do you find the admins for a kbin instance? When I go to a kbin instance website, I cannot find anywhere the admin usernames.

I want to create some filters for my Mastodon account to hide certain content....

I’m looking for a fediverse platform that has robust tag management features. I know Firefish has antennas to follow and block tags, but it would be great to be able to block tags sitewide so I don’t see unwanted content anywhere. I also want to be able to sort posts chronologically as well as by top posts over different...

tl;dr: let’s stop the generic and almost-irrelevant-doom-and-gloom karma-harvesting one-liners that can be copy-pasted between any two articles written in the last century...

The number of subscribers listed in the sidebar is only the number of users from YOUR instance that are subscribed. This might make you feel like a community is ‘small’ or ‘dead’ when it actually isn’t....

I am honestly kinda curious how exactly you manage your servers and keep them up to date, I feel like there is a linux patch every week or so, which would usually require a reboot. Do you all deploy live patching, how you become aware of critical stuff in your otherwise busy lives, RSS?

You guys have been so awesome providing a list of Fedi clients. I will update the list based on you guys feedback. I ask for assistance once again. I want to make a running list of Fediverse projects. There are so many interesting projects that deserve attention and devs that deserve recognition. I will start off with some that...

This also works for any links on shields.io, but I didn’t notice the Lemmy & Mastodon links before. Please share anything else you discover while experimenting. I’ll edit in more tips as people find them...

Does anyone know if there might be an android client for Bookwyrm. F-droid has one but it’s not been update in 5 months. I tried using fedi-lab but it couldn’t seem to connect to the instance I’m using

Hey guys, with all of your help I would like to get a running list of apps for Fediverse platforms. In such a short time we’ve had so many apps develop and they’ve provided some incredible experiences. For those that have been on Fedi for some time, newer and those that will come, these client apps will play major roles in...

I like lemmy but I want to be able to interact with pixelfed mastodon etc. what apps have the best ability to do this?

I’m reading the ActivityPub spec here and it seems pretty fit for client-to-server communications. Yeah, it might be somewhat bulkier than your typical rest api, but it’s more universal, which begs the question: why do mastodon and lemmy both decided to implement custom (and incompatible) APIs for their clients to talk to...

I’m using Memmy but trying to read comments in my notifications crashes the app half the time and seems like it’s not getting updates....

Fediverse has emerged as the popular choice when people look for Twitter alternatives. Personally I found Mastodon was like the early days of Twitter, without half as much toxicity....

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...

Not sure if this is the best place for this. If not, I apologize. I just want to understand Lemmy better.

I’m currently trying Voyager. Initial impression is that it seems like a great app.

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!

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?

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....
