Fediverse

Honestly, when it comes to the Fediverse, I find that seeing these posts on my Mastodon Account is really useful!

When I figured out that kbin wasn't a Mastodon server, I was curious!

I actually can see why someone might like it here!

The character limit doesn't exist, so that's nice!

Germany once again leading the Mastodon Migration

Full text search has been merged in #Mastodon main branch, and will be in the next (and final?) 4.2.0 beta 🎉 It is opt-in, so it will take some time to be filled with people content as they enable their profile to be indexed, but this was one of the most wanted Mastodon features for some time. We plan to deploy it to mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the coming days to have a bit more feedback on it and see how it behaves in the wild.

When joining or returning to a service with potentially hundreds of servers, it's possible to get mixed-up about what part of the network you joined on. Pixelfed has a handy new feature to put you on the right path again.

A brand new messaging app is coming to the Fediverse, and it's all thanks to the creator of Pixelfed.

After a fast launch, popularity of the platform has waned.

“Thousands of scientists are cutting back on Twitter, seeding angst and uncertainty.” And Mastodon was the most common destination if they opened…

I want to get into writing (primarily political), and while I've written some to those, I want to get as far away from centralized social media as I can.

The NLnet foundation has played a significant role in the fediverse, with their financial support for most major projects. In this piece I meet some of the people behind NLnet, and get to know the foundation.

Unsure if this fits here, but the tool's been quite fun to look through. It lets you look at specific Fediverse software and instances, see graphs for their growth. And there's even a whole section for the Threadiverse (Lemmy & Kbin)

I understand in any Foss project federated delete can be turned off by forking the project and removing it but I feel like for the vast majority of instances they won't do that. I noticed Lemmy does not support federated delete leaving me unable to delete post from other instances. Is this planned?

The brain drain comes as X has made it increasingly difficult for researchers to use its platform.

As the Fediverse continues to grow, new challenges arise in community management and user safety. A new organization seeks to make it easier.

As co-admin of one of the largest tech instances on the Fediverse, it's ironic that I struggle with social platforms so much.

How do I see what instances kbin.social is federated with?

The decentralized Instagram alternative is a great option if you want to back up your feed, focus on photo-sharing, or cut loose from Meta's empire entirely. And making the leap is surprisingly easy.

Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they'll no longer be able to receive them on X.

“We are moving forward under the premise that our operations should move from platforms managed by other companies to those within our control. Our app of course works on Apple and Google but these are different in terms of API constraints. On the other hand, distribution on ActivityPub is where we can manage our content completely independently. For this reason, in response to requests to move our operations onto different platforms will eventually only result in the same outcome as this time and therefore will not be considered. As NERV posts are still accessible via social media linked with ActivityPub, we plan to continue sharing there.”

I want to hear from people who have two ActivityPub instances running in Docker containers, on the same Docker network, and have them federating with each other.
