Fediverse

I follow #FediLive, #Owncast and "PeerTube" on Mastodon and have noticed a surge of new streamers on both services over the last month or so and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this as well?

please help me, i want to post my art and some coding stuff i think some people might find interesting, but i don't want to flood or make it look like i'm spamming posts on a lemmy group!! and you can't post things on your profile. what other websites are there?? that are also fediverse? please. if not fediverse, then what other websites come to mind? thank you

@fediverse Dumb question but do "likes" on #Mastodon automatically create up-votes on a #Lemmy post? I want to get a good grasp on the #Fediverse.

In Bookwyrm there are way too many duplicate authors and books, and a way to merge them is unclear.

(I'm aware that I'm giving this spam more attention by posting this, but I really wanted to share this weird behaviour.)

For those not familiar, there are numerous messages containing images being repeatedly spammed to many Threadiverse users talking about a Polish girl named "Nicole". This has been ongoing for some time now.

Bookwyrm's catalog is currently quite limited. Every user can always add a book, of course, but a lot of people will not find the button or just don't want to do this, and so they'll leave the platform disappointed.

Just like apps and websites implement "Sign in with Apple" and Google couldn't we build some kind of federated authentication provider? Then everyone creates an account there and fedi apps can implement an easy way to authenticate users. Even non fedi apps could use it. I imagine user interaction between different fediverse platforms would be much easier too.

Lemmy's design is focused on quality content by ditching the Karma farmers and addicts. No more chasing upvotes—people here actually focus on real value instead of feeding the ego.

Basically the title. I'd like to not lose anything and import users, communities, posts/comments, etc to hit the ground running but on a more stable platform.

TikTok basically invented shorts. Maybe Snapchat. And everyone else’s sucks because their AI isn’t as good. It’s a toxic medium anyway. I with the Pixelfed creator would just focus on Pixelfed, I use that and it’s a total win, just needs some kinks worked out and more popularity.

I feel like it would be best to proxy YouTube, or subscribe to paid indie channels like nebula, but without a user base and without ad revenue or subscription revenue I don’t know how quality content can come to PeerTube. Maybe I’m just missing the content but when I’ve checked it’s all very low quality, just random unedited webcam vblogs mostly.

So I realized that signing up on lemmy.world may not have been the best option for me, so I'm wondering what the best way to move instances (I'd like to move to pawb.social or lemmy.blahaj.zone) for my account would be I'm most worried about leaving everything I made on this account behind forever, but I've seen online that there's no way to actually move your account to another instance, so what do you guys suggest the best procedure is?

@fediverseGroups are not new to Pixelfed, we have webUI support but the feature wasn't polished enough for use, until now ✨:pixelfed: Groups will be compatible with #Lemmy, #Mbin, #Smithereen and other projects, and will resemble Facebook Groups in our official app!Stay tuned, we'll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend 🚀@dansup 's post⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️mastodon.social/@dansup/114160…

@fediverseIn the next days I need to optimize the large database tables of libranet.de and venera.social. The database has grown to an extent where the server would run out of disk space in the next weeks.This is a time-consuming and resource-intensive process that can block other database queries. That's why I will switch on maintenance mode beforehand.I'll start with the large database tables of venera.social. When this is done I'll continue with libranet.de.⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️mastodon.social/@libranet/1141…

I have a personal website that is just a landing page made with Carrd. I’ve been interacting on the Fediverse (Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, BlueSky so far). I would like to consolidate my public Fediverse persona, write a little bit longer form blogging, and be able to have a central spot for my pictures and posts.

I know this isn't quite the proper forum for asking this, but I can't think of any other place. Looking for a site where I can post little videos to share on Lemmy Meme Communities. A -- Non-youtube-y place.

The upcoming possibility of browsing to remote federated categories/communities has me thinking about interesting use cases for it.

Hi @andrew_s@piefed.social/@freamon and @nutomic@lemmy.ml —I'm working (not-so-secretly) on refactoring NodeBB so that it is able to "browse" remote audiences/group actors, and that would include things like PieFed and Lemmy communities.

I hope this directory will help you find the PeerTube platform that fits your needs. I must say, I am a little worried how few platforms actually meet the criteria I've set. It's possible I've missed some, so please let me know in the comments. Enjoy.

Some fediverse help please:

I'm new here, and have been looking into different communities to subscribe to, it's pretty difficult to decide which ones to subscribe to when theres often the same community on more than one server. (Example: internetisbeautiful on @feddit.de, @lemmy.ee, @lemmy.ml)

I love the fact that fediverse was built from the ground up to be free, federated and interoperable. I have two questions that may come from my lack of expertise / knowledge, so I apologise in advance if they are dumb.

In case you don't know, this is about Forte. (Scroll down for the official release note.)It's Mike Macgirvin's newest creation in a family tree of Fediverse server software that has been growing for almost 15 years. Everything started in 2010 with Mistpark, now Friendica.In 2012, Mike introduced nomadic identity to the Fediverse by forking Friendica into what would soon be known as the Red Matrix. In 2015, the Red Matrix evolved into Hubzilla, a highly powerful, feature-rich "federated social CMS".The last step before Forte came in October, 2021, after a whole number of forks: the streams repository with a Fediverse server application that's intentionally nameless, intentionally brandless, intentionally released into the public domain, intentionally mostly without nodeinfo code and thus intentionally incapable of sending statistics. "(streams)", always in parentheses, unofficially refers to this software.Forte was created almost seven months ago, in August, 2024, with the intention to slim (streams) down further, especially the maze of identities it uses for everything.If you need something as a comparison: Forte is another Facebook alternative (not "clone" as in "the same but federated", but "alternative" as in "better") with a side of full-blown long-form blogging like on WordPress, a built-in WebDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV cloud storage like the Google Cloud and server-independent identity that surpasses what Bluesky has promised and never delivered.Up until Forte, everything that Mike has created was based on a protocol designed by Mike himself. Friendica was built against the DFRN protocol. Everything from the Red Matrix to (streams) was built against a protocol originally named Zot, now named Nomad.Forte is the first member in the family that is based on ActivityPub. While it isn't the first Fediverse server application that supports nomadic identity via ActivityPub ((streams) was), it is the first Fediverse server application that entirely relies on ActivityPub for nomadic identity.Be aware, though:I'm not sure how stable Forte is right now.Forte has a substantial learning curve. Not as steep as Hubzilla's, but steeper than Friendica's and quite a lot steeper than Mastodon's.The only mobile apps that you can use Forte with are standard Web browsers. Or you can install Forte as a progressive Web app that you can launch with its own icon, but that still gives you the Web interface. There are no dedicated mobile apps for Forte, and Forte does not and most likely never will implement the Mastodon client API.

I've noticed that the "All" feed on Lemmy is pretty much the same across all instances, showing posts from every instance regardless of the specific focus or community vibe of the instance you're on. This seems like a missed opportunity to make the experience more tailored and engaging for each instance's unique audience.

First of all, I don't mean this post as a complaint, maybe more of a warning?

See this post for context: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/39648805

I'm diving into Lemmy, been on Masto since 2019. Also a big Reddit user trying to get away, and I hope to find a feature here that's an equivalent to MultiReddits (or 'Custom Reddits' as they seem to be called now).

Bluesky, which uses it, has been opened to federation now, and the standard basically just looks better than ActivityPub. Has anyone heard about a project to make a Lemmy-style "link aggregator" service on it?

@hamishcampbell@mastodon.social recently made a statement that got me thinking about our place in the open social web, and the direction it's going.

A while ago I started loosing hope in the internet, even before ai it was mostly bots, and copy and paste articles. Everything is exponentially getting more and more malicious, with algorithms made to suck you in with obviously no care for the human user, just make stock go up, and make comically evil board members happy.

It's with great honor, I inform you all that I've finally been Nicoled. I thought I was left out for a minute there

It was asked a couple of months ago, but given the AI enshittification, it seems a good time to ask again.

Hello everyone,

Looks to build mastodon account and Lemmy community for my county, just curious if there's any programs that can post to Lemmy mastdon

I've created #Piefed's first dedicated community to movies!

Question here from a new Lemmy user-

I'm curious about the possibility of using a NodeBB account as my main account for accessing and interacting with the fediverse.

Does it exist? I miss when YikYak was for hometowns and you could view other cities or comment/post there if in range. I don't like its current state after coming back. It was like the neighbour apps but less facebooky with a crowd under 50, was the ultimate local news source.

There's so many ways to interact with the Fediverse. The most popular, by far, seems to be Mastodon, but Lemmy, Misskey, and Pixelfed are also relatively popular. Kbin used to be popular, but it has apparently been abandoned, and is mostly dead at this point.

It would tie in better with the email analogy, and it could show that they all just provide access to the same network.

I tried making the question makes sense.
