Fediverse

Love Reddit but tired of what's happening to it? We check out Lemmy and Kbin, two open-source fediverse alternatives that are growing fast.

Lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone have been hit with a JavaScript injection attack it seems.

Flipboard has recently begun federation, starting with 25 accounts. These accounts can be viewed from Kbin with their posts showing up as microblog posts....

Like you, I'm a passionate user of K.Bin but lately, I'm noticing that things are getting kinda stale around here. The most recent thread in this, the top-level magazine on K.Bin, is 4 days old. Many other top 25 magazines are also suffering from a similar lack of fresh content. I run /m/scifi and it's been continuing to grow...

Also, since back when I last looked for youtube alternatives, many that seemed good turned out to use things like NFT and the sort, I feel compelled to ask:...

Like we've got Mastodon which is a microblog platform....

I've checked the fedipact signatories, but they all seem to be lemmy instances.

A discussion happening over on beehaw about problems with federation and moderation, and on fundamental issues with Lemmy itself, and what would go into making a fork vs starting something new.

The hot new thing in social media has some big problems.

Hey all,...

Now you can scroll through posts from only people you follow.

The Fediverse is currently divided over whether or not to block Threads. Here are some of the things people are worried about, some opportunities that might come from it, and what we need to do to prepare.

Threads, Meta's new microblogging platform, is updating its terms to focus on data collection from "Third Party Users".

Full text search has been merged in #Mastodon main branch, and will be in the next (and final?) 4.2.0 beta 🎉 It is opt-in, so it will take some time to be filled with people content as they enable their profile to be indexed, but this was one of the most wanted Mastodon features for some time. We plan to deploy it to...

I get it that things can have unfortunate names, but I've seen a lot of people proudly claim lemmy is "federated" or a "federation". Isn't a federation actually against what people want out of the fediverse?...

Right now, we are frequently posting contents and interacting with the communities in order to make Fediverse more alive and more "social" as social media. But really, compared to Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, we probably don't even exist....

Posted this in a small community, curious to know what everyone here thinks....

Mastodon is interoperable, decentralized, operated by a nonprofit, lively, and, ACTUALLY, isn't hard to use. So why is everyone championing Threads as the main Twitter alternative?

I discovered severe lapses in how the Tusky project's donations (received via OpenCollective) were being handled. When I reported those t...

Extinction looms for FTAV’s Mastodon presence

Calckey has been one of the more popular Fediverse apps for a while now, and just of today they did a major rebranding....

For those who aren't aware, Kbin Cafe is a Kbin instance I run. Cross-posting our stance on Threads for visibility....

Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots....

The Dutch government has officially launched their own Mastodon server. In an accompanying letter, the State Secretary explains how this relates to the government strategy of supporting digital common goods.
