Imgur links suck ( kbin.social )
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....
Federating down-votes? ( kglitch.social )
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...
The AD-BASED internet is DYING, and it's getting WORSE in the process ( tilvids.com )
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....
Defederation, Threads and You ( kbin.social )
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....
(OPINION) What if we just wait for Flickr and Tumblr to federated and let them increase Meta's dependency on Federation for content and we could federate them after that ( kbin.social )

Subscriptions in a community
How do I see all subscriptions in a community and not just my instance?
Can I block whole instance instead of single community?
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....
Fediverse dating app? ( kbin.social )
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...
Lemmy.World is back online, admin posts details of recent hack and measures taken ( lemmy.world )
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...
fediverse shorts? ( kbin.social )
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.
Why some community's appear empty in kbin while if you go to their instance they have posts? ( kbin.social )
Why some community's appear empty in kbin while if you go to their instance they have posts?
Short description for each instance under every post? ( kbin.social )
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....

how do I add communities like [email protected] to my feed on kbin? I copy and paste the name as i have it here into the search bar on kbin but nothing comes up. ( kbin.social )
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?

Today, we’re abnormally jazzed to announce that we’re open-sourcing the custom framework we built to power your dashboard on Tumblr. We call it StreamBuilder, and we’ve been using it for many years.…
How does Kbin / Lemmy connect to the rest of the fediverse? ( kbin.social )
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?
