Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps...
bad news for firefish > the project is caught in limbo & might be discontinued #firefish
Social magazine app Flipboard had already committed to joining the "fediverse" -- the decentralized social web, which includes apps like Mastodon. Now, it’s doubling down on those ambitions with an announcement that it will stop tweeting while also launching a new podcast devoted to exploring the topic of decentralized social...
A lot of artists, etc. are reluctant to leave corporate social media like Twitter, due to fears over the Fediverse (usually spread by other people, that think Fediverse = Gab + some cryprobros + maybe Pawoo), or not willing to understand it....
Now that WordPress supports ActivityPub, anyone know of any good AP-enabled blogs worth following?
I want fediverse iceberg, I think this will be help found out and understand about fediverse more, this can be useful for normies...
Honestly, when it comes to the Fediverse, I find that seeing these posts on my Mastodon Account is really useful!...

There are a few fundamentally broken things about how Mastodon posts work that are terrible vectors for abuse, as well as being bad for basic usability. Maybe they are fixable, I don't know. To be clear: I am a fan of Mastodon. I have been enjoying my time there much more than I ever enjoyed Twitter or Facebook or Instagram. And...
As the social media landscape ebbs and flows, the team at BBC Research & Development are researching social technologies and exploring possibilities for the BBC. One part of our work is to establish a BBC presence in the distributed collection of social networks known as the Fediverse, a collection of social media applications...
We’re making our way through the Fediverse, takin’ her easy for all us sinners.
I used to blog on blogger and livejournal before using Twitter destroyed my discipline and I find myself writing longer comments and mastodon posts right now. I'm thinking about a WriteFreely account. Does anyone know a good instance to start with?

A while ago I posted a thread back on the...
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....
I've been recommended some communities on Lemmy servers, but when I go to kbin.social/m/community_name@server, I get a 404. What do I need to do for a community to get federated?
With decentralized content and federated services growing in popularity, many existing web technologies are adopting the ActivityPub open standard. Services like Meta’s Threads, Tumblr, Medium, Flipboard, Mozilla, and WordPress.com have all added or announced support of ActivityPub, allowing for their content to be accessible...
After a long silence from the developer, project moderators stepped down. The mobile app for Kbin appears to have closed its doors.
5 years after its announcement, Mobilizon, our free, federated alternative to Facebook groups and events, is reaching maturity. We take this opportunity to look back on its history and future. 🦆 VS 😈: Let's take back some ground from the tech giants! Thanks to your donations to our not-for-profit, Framasoft is taking...
A lot of musicians are looking for better, more resilient platforms for selling and distributing their work. Faircamp may be a good solution.

Blocking isn't working, can't view my notifcations, both get the weird error screen, is anyone at all still working on kbin, is anyone out there to assist in fixing these things?
One of the biggest criticisms of Mastodon's technical capabilities involves how limited its search system is. With a new update, everything has changed.
