Fediverse

As it is in the mastodon post.

TLDR - lemmy’s current user count is probably somewhere just above 200k (between June 18 and June 19 numbers). Arguably higher as the larger lemmy instances like lemmy.world are likely to have quicker real growth than a niche instance.

Anyone tried this?

If you ran Lemmy or kbin locally as a single user instance with no hosted communities and it was not live all of the time would you miss a lot pushed data? Would this data be pulled later? Would this cause de-federation?

I noticed that when I view this post for example on lemmy.world: https://lemmy.world/post/291005 and on dataterm.digital: https://dataterm.digital/post/54221 that both of them are the same post but with a different number of votes and comments.

I believe this also leads to different sorting of the all feed in these instances. Why is that and can it be fixed? Is it even a bug?

I even saw while having both posts open that on lemmy.world a new comment got added in realtime but not on dataterm.digital

The vast majority of the instances in that screenshot have known jumps from 1~50 users to tens of thousands in less than a day. These instances also happen to not require a captcha on sign up.

It may very well be that instance owners are innocent as some have really been victims of bot attacks and simply forgot that you could enable captchas for sign-ups, nevertheless I think instance directories like Lemmyverse.net should start disincentivizing anyone from inflating his own instance with tens of thousands of bots in order to get on top of those "leaderboards".

Is this Total User Counter true? It seems kind of wrong because the Graph is only at 300k and i cannot imagine that we grew 200k people in the last 4 hours.

From Axios:

"Several Twitter alternatives are emerging but it's not clear which, if any, will become the new platform of choice for scientists.

Experts often point to Mastodon, Bluesky and Meta's planned Twitter rival as possible options. Many scientists have been publishing elsewhere for a while on platforms like Substack.

Caballero suggested the future may be in a "decentralized" social media platform that mirrors the distribution model of podcasts, which have platforms such as Spotify and Apple."

There are now multiple browser extensions to redirect outgoing links to subs in the threadiverse to your local instance of choice

This is a major downside to how federation works currently and something we shouldn't need extensions for, but as a stopgap solution I am glad they exist.

From what I understand, fediverse is sort of liking emailing and lemmy and mastodon are simply the sites that allow you to send emails (i.e. yahoo, gmail). How come I don't see any mastodon content anywhere in my jerboa app (which is on lemmy.world)

This happened quickly…Lemmy is now the second biggest platform next to mastodon!?!

"My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy" -RedReader

RedReader is a Reddit app with over 100k downloads on the Google Play store

"I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API."

Hey everyone. I mod a sub which seeks video content. I've been posting myself and it's 90% youtube links. I see the irony of this and I'd like to surface 'fediverse' videos in my community if at all possible.

I see that Peertube is a thing. I've been able to search a bit for peertube videos on https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content - however I quickly run dry. Are there other ways to find / browse Peertube videos?

Are there other platforms besides Peertube I should be aware of?

Anything else you want to tell me about videos and fediverse? I'm ready to learn

Hey everyone. I made two themes inspired and based off the winternord theme some of you may have seen already in your instances. One is a darker, more contrasty theme (icy-nord-darker) based on the other (icy-nord). They are very simple, but they do fix some issues I had with winternord, such as some text being very hard to read because of its colour, or the background image often interfering with the foreground and making it hard to read stuff.

Let me know what you think, any suggestions, what you like, and what you dislike.
