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....

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

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

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

We now have another thread aggregator to join Lemmy and Kbin on the fediverse!...

TL;DR: The current Mastodon-signup is only removing the confusion of users on first glance, because it either hides the server-choice altogether, or leaves them with a choice that is impossible to make at this point of their Mastodon-journey. Instead, it should introduce them to decentrality on a lower scale, with a handful of...

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...

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

Akkoma is an active fork of Pleroma, which implements ActivityPub protocol underneath and serves an interface similar to microblogging platforms such as Twitter or Tumblr. It implements a complete Mastodon client API, so all Mastodon clients work with it without trouble, even the Mastodon web UI can be installed and used with...

Meta’s adoption of ActivityPub could expose a lot more people to the power, and perils, of decentralized social networks..

There's an increase in analytics services on the fediverse nowadays, and the trend seems to be shifting from personal to business products.

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....

The Mixtape is an ongoing effort by We Distribute to showcase the musicians of the Fediverse and their work. Each issue is a playlist of 10 tracks centered around a theme, that our followers can vote on....

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...

Attaché : 1 image The recent excitement surrounding Thread's arrival on the Fediverse is concerning. To understand why this is not a good idea, consider their economic interest in harvesting data, their poor moderation, and their manipulations. Nothing good can come from their federation. Don't roll out the red carpet for them....
