As email is the original federated system, it might be worth looking to our history to see our future: what was once a utopia for nice people communicating with each other has become a spam-filled arms race dominated by only a few domains....
Hello Everyone!...
“You asked, we answered,” Meta wrote in the notes for an iOS update released on Monday. “New features coming, so keep an eye out as you browse the latest version of the app.” I don’t see any obvious differences in my updated version of the app. But Instagram boss Adam Mosseri teased a “following” feed in a video,...

Managing a Mastodon instance is hard work, with the most effort going to moderation and abuse, and not technical operations as one might expect.
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?
The launch of Threads, with its promise of adding ActivityPub support in the future, is hotly debated. I take a look at 3 upcoming pieces of legislation, the DMA, DSA and the Canadian Online News Act, to see how this potentially impacts Threads decision to federate in the future.
How do I see all subscriptions in a community and not just my instance?
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.
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?
Twitter’s dying, Reddit’s changing, everything else is entertainment – and there’s nowhere left to hang out.
ActivityPub, the protocol that powers the fediverse (including Mastodon – same caveats as the first two times, will be used interchangeably, deal with it) is not private. It is not even semi-private. It is a completely public medium and absolutely nothing posted on it, including direct messages, can be seen as even remotely...
Guten tag Hans, we need better transmission and Schlachtschiffkanone.
New research from my team on the #TwitterMigration: This is our 3rd quarterly update on which platforms are growing, new entries such as #BlueSky, #Substack Notes, #Nostr & all public data on Meta's #project92 Includes latest on the #RedditMigration, New polling, new posting data & more. Welcome any notes or feedback & boosts!...
Rather than try to act like a link aggregator where people submit links to articles and images and that submission comes with a comment thread specific to the fediverse instance in which it was submitted, what if each news site, image host, blog, whatever was itself the instance and the reddit-style instances federate with...
It doesn't have much to offer, the code is a mess, but I know some people would really appreciate it!...
Based on this...
A while ago I posted a thread back on the...
Let me know if there are any I should add....
Short-form video might in fact be the next frontier for federated media. The dev behind a popular photo-sharing platform is diving in headfirst.
There's a warning at the top, but I'm curious as to the "why". The comments that may or may not be visible seem to be a roll of the dice as well. If I respond to someone in a comment, I have no idea if they can see it.
Hi all....
You can define success any way you like. But I'm happy with the direction of the project, and I'm thankful for everyone who has helped make it happen.
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...
