fediverse

The fediverse offers an exciting alternative to centralized social media silos like Twitter and Facebook. As someone passionate about the fediverse, I think a lot about what features would make up my perfect social media platform. I’m curious what ideas other fediverse users have!...

I’ve wanted a badge that shows the instance uptime and couldn’t find any, so I created one. It’s available at uptime.lemmings.world/{your-domain}.svg and gets its data from fediverse.observer....

Regardless of the negative aspects, Meta joining the Fediverse will definitely make the numbers of active users explode. This will probably bring the network and its concepts to many people and also a matter of public debate.

Hosted on peertube by the biggest instance in the fediverse, the event of the year takes place on the day of the first big twitter migration and is traditionally kicked off by someone telling a really bad joke and then declaring “let that sink in”. But seriously - Would we be already able to realize this this year? Would be...

A new feature has been added, this one is especially useful for recurring post - it allows you to add the date and/or time of the post to the title....

Let’s say I’m from instance A and use a community from instance B. Let’s say another user of instance C, that’s not federated with A but is with B, post in B. Can I see that post?

Please post one top-level comment per complaint. Then others can reply with ideas or existing GitHub issues that could address that complaint. This helps identify both common complaints and potential solutions....

Fedipunk means a story in a universe, in which the era of dezentralized social networks is already there, with all its potential consequences - or we see the transition to it....

In another thread, I read a user’s comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page....

I run a server calckey.world , which used to be CalcKey, but the software was re-branded to Firefish. Unfortunately, firefish.world is taken. What domain should I use for my new Firefish instance? Preferably a .world domain....

For the uninitiated, generally NSFW is for sexual contents and NSFL is for gory contents. People may want to see one but not see the other at any time for any reason. I have seen this feature requested over the years in Reddit but it never happens. Maybe now some instance can finally implement it?

What do you think of this? Do you think it is a good idea and could take off?

I’ve posted before about my fediverser project, and I am now looking to see who is interested in participating....

EDIT: Might be able to get this set up. Hang tight!...

Over the last decade, people called for a new narrative regarding climate change. One that is less doomerism and more positive. They managed to do that. The same needs to happen for the internet....

Currently lemmy is like the speedboat next to the heavy steam boat of Mastodon etc. While lemmy is still dynamic and flexible and can introduce new features easily without scaring off its established user base, mastodon can not do such experiments so easily. Now, if lemmy gains more momentum in the fediverse and establishes...

I like a lot of the communities on that instance, but every once in a while I just get hit with a random wave of toxicity by them for no reason. For example, there was a post asking which communities from Reddit do you wish existed on Lemmy, and I answered honestly saying more car related communities as they are one of my...
