Fediverse

I follow various “question-based” communities like AskLemmy, NoStupidQuestions etc and I have noticed some strange patterns recently. Mainly that some topics come up over and over again, like Nintendo Switch 2, foreign alphabets and foreign languages (especially Japanese). The users asking these questions will often (but not always) delete them after about an hour.

I am currently using Lemmy.zip through the app voyager.

With temperatures reaching well into the 30s (in celsius of course :sunglasses:) in the Toronto area, we’re all firmly in summer mode :swimmer: :beach_with_umbrella: , but that won’t stop us from forging on ahead with new features and fixes for NodeBB!

When I delete a comment on Lemmy, people can still see that there used to be a comment by me that I later deleted. What’s the reasoning for that?

I don’t know if this is stance specific, but whenever I create a new post and start typing the title, it’ll list some “posts that might be related”, limited to the community if it’s already selected.

When I first joined Lemmy, I opened instance list and picked the instance when the easiest sign-up: lemmy.org. Then I wrote posts and comments to nothing for a week before realising it was defederated by all major instances and nobody sees my content. Ironic: I quit Reddit over a shadowban and my whole instance appears to be shadowbanned here. Then I joined an instance with downtime spikes resembling brush bristles.

Always hated the ads and thought it would make sense for different fandoms to have their own instances.

Title.

I’ve noticed quite a few top posters that are using LLMs or other software to repost news links and images, probably from Reddit, onto a bunch of specific forums. They don’t identify as bot accounts, but they are fairly easy to spot because they are posting a steady stream of posts, around 2-3 posts an hour, 24/7. No sleep periods, just constant posts, at an unnatural rate.

Most communities are not the sole community related to their topic, there are really often other communities on the same, or similar topics.

Ideas to make Lemmy even more engaging

Specific apps, sites, frontends, features, etc. Like the what you would like to see post, but instead I want to hear about what already exists that you like.

What apps/sites are yall using lately that you weren’t in the past 2 years? Any features you like?

The creator of Echo (an alternative to Pinterest) has decided, via my suggestion, to add Fediverse support via a federated feed.

The Fediverse is growing and we have decently successful platforms like Lemmy and Mastodon. What else would you like to see?

Hi guys, same Iranian guy here, first I want to say I really appreciate you guys helping me, love you guys you all are genuinely amazing people.

It will start at July 18th (4am UTC) to July 20th (also 4am UTC)

it would be good to have a simple tool to view activitypub content. like user profiles, posts, etc.

Hi guys, I don’t know if this is the right place to ask for advice about this so if I’m in the wrong place kindly show me where should I go.

I’m subscribed to !selfhosted@lemmy.world, yet I never saw this post show up. I can’t find it with a direct search on lemmy.ml either but the instance is listed here.

@fediverse@piefed.social @fediverse@lemmy.world what has happened to nord.pub ? It's saying no server available !

I’m trying to move a lot of my social media habits to the Fediverse in light of digital ID/mass surveillance bills being pushed in Canada, and I remember hearing about Pinetta, a federated Pinterest alternative awhile back. Does anyone know what’s happened to it? It doesn’t look to have had any updates in a few years. I’m wondering if it’s been abandoned?

Some accounts are deleting their posts after a few downvotes. It’s devastating on communities like c/asklemmy.

Hetzner is one of the go-to server providers for Fediverse instances, in part due to its cheap offerings while still providing high quality service. However, Hetzner has announced a price adjustment, which has increased the prices of some servers as much as 3-4 times the original. This kind of ruins the point in using Hetzner, as the main appeal was Hetzner’s cheap server prices.

With the worldwide wave of social media bans on major platforms aka digital verification, I wonder if we’ll see an influx of people to the Fediverse?

@fediverse Found out how to post on lemmy from Mastodon/GoToSocial/other fedi services.

@fediverse Is piefed.social down?

I see people sharing links to peertube, youtube, streamable, imgur, and other sites in communities in order to share videos. For the non-federated ones, it’s understandable if there is no option, but for content creators, is it possible to share a video directly from peertube into a community?

idk how to have cross platform interactions.
