A proposal for a sane transfer of useful information trapped on Reddit ( kbin.social )
Hey all,...

Hey all,...
Is reddit really that unaffected? Are tech media companies keeping quiet on purpose? Is the Play app giving more artificial visibility to reddit app VS fediverse apps? It feels like all the mainstream centralized social platforms and search engines (Google) are censoring any updates on reddit's status to maintain a status quo....

Twitter under Elon Musk’s chaotic reign has seemingly created an opportunity for an alternative microblogging service.

Google has shown that with enough scale, just running ads on a website is enough to keep the content free of charge. But of course, as with everything where money is involved, it went way too far. This limited the ad revenue, and so websites decided to add more ads....
Only up-votes on posts and comments are federated. Is there a technical reason why (limitation of ActivityPub?) or is it a social reason?
To all #readers and lovers of #books (and here there is a sea!) I point out the federated...
How do I see all subscriptions in a community and not just my instance?
Title
Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there's no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they're an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse....
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....
My instance is quite liberal and not many instances are defederated. But there are some instances I don’t want to see at all, like containing NSFW content....

are there any fediverse (or at least not meta or google owned) short form video content websites or apps? I'd love to leave Instagram behind, but my smooth little monkey brain needs that instant dopamine lmao...
The attack involves stolen cookies. Any Lemmy instance with any custom emojis is vulnerable to this attack. If you run a Lemmy instance, there are steps inside to protect your instance, and some legal details if your instance was impacted.
This is just a thought I had that I wanted to bounce off people who know more about ActivityPub/the fediverse— would it be feasible (and would it make sense) to build an open-source, ActivityPub-compatible dating app as an alternative to Tinder/Bumble/etc.? And if so, what could that look like? Obviously the small userbase...
Notes: The vulnerability appears to be with Lemmy software, and other instances are possibly vulnerable until the Lemmy devs resolve it, however Lemmy.World has implemented their own fix in the meantime. It has not yet been ruled out if non-admin users have had their tokens compromised, but all accounts should be forced to...
lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone are down from what seems like a JavaScript injection attack
Lemmy.world and lemmy.blahaj.zone have been hit with a JavaScript injection attack it seems.
Went there and got some… less than savory images. Do not recommend going there....
Just like how every post will include a description of the magazine at the bottom, I think it makes sense to include a description of the instance too....
On the desktop version of the site i can just put the name after m/ in the URL (sans !) and i can sub from there. but how do i do this from the pwa i use on my phone?
