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.
We’re in an exciting time for users who want to take back control from major platforms like Twitter and Facebook. However, this new environment comes with challenges and risks for user privacy, so we need to get it right and make sure networks like the Fediverse and Bluesky are mindful of past...
I'm a bit confused about if I needed a new account here or I could of used my mastodon account? Can we browse lemmy through mastodon and post? Can we see mastodon posts here?
In the typical web marketing infrastructure, a company signs up for an email account for private messages, Twitter/X account for microblogging, YouTube account for video sharing, and Reddit for forum discussion....
I was thinking about how there are similar communities on different instances. In some cases that is desirable/ok but maybe it would be cool to have another option....
Interesting bit of news for the threadiverse. All three of these are fairly large lemmy instances

Here's my prediction, but I'd like others to contribute their predictions as well. I think it's important that we make ourselves aware of signs before they start showing, and that we have a record to point to if things play out exactly as we predict....

Why some community's appear empty in kbin while if you go to their instance they have posts?
The first few times I saw "+18", I didn't even know what it meant because it was backwards and the threads weren't particularly NSFW.
Kbin is a modular, decentralized content aggregator and microblogging platform running on the Fediverse network. The initiative aims to promote a free and open internet.
One of the extremely useful things about reddit was that content was somewhat organized by URL. Each post was created in a subreddit. So you could do websearch like keyword site:reddit.com/r/subreddit...
Whenever I see a run of spam posts on the fediverse, I’ve taken to looking at the usernames behind them. Nine times out of ten, they turn out to be from kbin instances. Here’s a recent example:...
There’s a crucial difference between federatable and federated.
This is entirely the fault of the IWF and Microsoft, who create "exclusive" proprietary CSAM prevention software and then only license big tech companies to use it.
Some hobbyist hackers have come up with novel ways to connect vintage computers to the Fediverse, and you can run the code yourself.
i went and searched for a community on Lemmy. Found it, but was logged out so I couldn't create content... tried to login, it says "logged in" in the lower left, but I'm not as it still says "login" at the top right....
Only up-votes on posts and comments are federated. Is there a technical reason why (limitation of ActivityPub?) or is it a social reason?
Looking at the front page of this forum and many others, leads me to conclude that kbin has a ridiculous spam problem....
Threads’ fediverse plans are coming together.
