Fediverse

I'm truly very fascinated by Fediverse, but I only discovered it 2 weeks ago and that's why I'm devouring it and still have a lot of doubts. I research tutorials, save links and my main intention is to communicate with cool people to exchange good ideas!

Looking at the front page of this forum and many others, leads me to conclude that kbin has a ridiculous spam problem....

It's been a good time here on kbin.social. But the lack of perspective and communication has done it for me. I lost hope that the instance would heal eventually and will move to another place instead. Hope you're ok Ernest and all the best for the future.

A while ago I posted a thread back on the...

Somebody who was previously active on the kbin codeberg repo has left that to make a fork of kbin called mbin....

Look at this fucking mess with these bots and lonely losers with too much time on their hand. They've all taken a dump on multiple instances and magazines....

A certain stage of development has ended - a prototype was created that allowed me to verify whether such a form makes sense in the #fediverse. Until now, it was a project that I developed in my free time. Now, thanks to the great people from Nlnet, I will be able to devote much more time to it. This time, we have already...

Biden’s Threads posts can show up in Mastodon clients.

A lot of us are pretty new to the fediverse and we've arrived just in time to grapple with what is easily the biggest federation/defederation controversy ever to hit it. I've put this thread together to hopefully help communicate some of the more complex ideas that we're trying to get our heads around....

Threads’ fediverse plans are coming together.

Let me know if there are any I should add....

I forced myself to go back a little to Reddit recently. Because while I endorse and love the existence of the Fediverse, I can't in good conscience, tolerate the instability of it. Any other time I go somewhere, I'm met with a page that says KBin is working on resolving issues, then I go somewhere else and it's fine....

Short-form video might in fact be the next frontier for federated media. The dev behind a popular photo-sharing platform is diving in headfirst.

Lemmy instances by number of communities with over 1 thousand (5 thousands, 10 thousands) of monthly users:...

The popular Reddit alternative's user count has grown a lot over the past year. One problem, though: users and admins can't delete images.

There's a warning at the top, but I'm curious as to the "why". The comments that may or may not be visible seem to be a roll of the dice as well. If I respond to someone in a comment, I have no idea if they can see it.

Is the fediverse GDPR-compliant? A horror story of uploading sensitive PII to lemmy and the numerous bugs that blocked its removal.

I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...

I know about PixelFed, but I'm not interested in photo sharing social media style. I just want something that works like Imgur when you upload your images as private. Maybe PixelFed has that option?...

Hi all....

The fledgling Fediverse discovery hub takes a big step today, showcasing deeper integrations with Mastodon, and a developer API for communities.
