Fediverse

So, I've been trying to utilize other instances of kbin and every single other instance I go to requires a different and unique login. I could somebody explain what I'm doing wrong? I assumed that my identity would be federated and so I could use other instances without a new sign in for each one.

#fediverse

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but is there some kind of Fediverse dashboard program (kind of like tweetdeck) where I could connect my Pixelfed, Kbin, Mastadon accounts, for example, and post to each of them from the one dashboard? I read a post somewhere of someone using Feedly to gather in all the feeds, but I don't think you can post with that.

Is Tildes a fediverse instance? I swear I read that they are, but I don't seem to see them federating.

I've been exploring and comparison-shopping fediverse server projects recently. I'd like to do some tech blogging for some personal software/hosting projects. The Fediverse feels like a natural fit for tech blogging, considering how relatively tech-savvy the userbase is.

Strangely, though, I've noticed that there isn't much of a presence for macro blogging among all these server projects. Some platforms support relatively feature-rich markup languages, and post size limit is apparently configurable on the instance level for a lot of them, but none of the platforms I've looked at have a UI designed with macro blogging in mind.

Does anyone know of any server projects, either in development or with active running servers, that are designed to support macro blogging?

I've got a list of some of the basic features I'm looking for:

• Draft posts
• List view of posts
• Sorting and filtering posts at the user level
• An editing UI that isn't a 150px by 200px rectangle in the center of the screen
• Content previews
• Decent NSFW content filtering
• Threaded replies/comments
• Federation (obviously)

Hey all! I’ve been a mastodon user for a while, but with the recent reddit nonsense I’ve been digging into forum-style Fediverse platforms like Lemmy and Kbin. I don’t know if i understand the distinction a ton yet. I’ve make a Lemmy.world account and this Kbin one, but I’m not sure if i need to? I would love to just have one account and follow the threads/subs from both. Is that possible?

I’ve made a clone of a reddit sub i loved to frequent, /crtgaming over on Lemmy.world: lemmy.world/c/crtgaming. But then I found https://kbin.social/m/CRTs (which i guess are called “magazines” here). And I’m not confident both need to exist? Or maybe the do and we can be sister subs? Idk. any advice would be much appreciated!

Okay, so, I've just done a review of the #moderation features in both #Lemmy and #kbin. I've written up a fuller report on the IFTAS matrix, but the tl;dr is: if you care about user safety, do not deploy either of these. They do not feature comprehensive or well built moderation tools, and you will not be able to effectively moderate instances running this software. You are better off waiting to deploy these once they mature more. Edit: removed user mentions to stop spamming them.

Hello, I'm new and I would like to know if there is a place to consult which instances have defederated which ones and if possible even with the reason for doing so, I had seen something similar in mastodon and it was very useful

So.. I get this on some of my subscribed communities on other instances. I get some of the content, but nowhere near all. Is there a ranking which preferences synching of other instances communities? The more popular ones never seem to have this problem.. Or is there just 'lag' between instances and it's something that will have to be dealt with in the infancy of the fediverse?

How do I subscribe to magazines on other instances with my kbin.social account?

#fediverse

Provocative title, yeah?

There has been a lot of discussion about what different instances should strive to be. I see a lot of posts and comments wanting instances to become subreddits, e.g. a gaming instance, a politics instance, etc. That kind of thinking is too restrictive for my taste.

To be clear, I am not a tankie, nor do I support tankie ideology. I DO believe, however, that the concept of Lemmygrad is what I would like to see the fediverse become.

Lemmygrad is an unapologetically tankie instance. For fuck’s sake, its name is a play on Leningrad. However, the instance is not restricted to discussions of communist ideology. Lemmygrad contains communities about gaming, food, shitposting, and everything else you might associate with a link aggregator. This is what they get right.

In my ideal virtual future, or “vuture”, the fediverse would be comprised of instances each geared toward a specific topical focus, with a wide variety of community posts and discussion. The majority of my IRL friends and I initially bonded over technology and gaming, but we like to discuss a wide variety of topics when we get together. Why should the fediverse be any different? I imagine instances that are gaming focused where m/politics is filled with Bioshock-themed shitposts and discussions about laws that influence the way we handle technology. Sports-focused instances share pictures in m/food of what they are making for Super Bowl Sunday. If I’m a gamer that is also really into militant communist politics, I might sign up for a gaming instance but subscribe to c/politics on Lemmygrad as well.

We don’t need subreddits in the traditional sense. Let’s turn instances into our little neighborhoods, our cul de sacs, and make the fediverse our town hall meetings, our sports arenas and our bars.

I see there was some older work on mobile clients but it seems like that's not up to date. Is there anyone else interested in this direction? I feel like it would help make the fediverse feel like a more seamlessly integrated experience.

I see Tuba which seems like development is very active but it's more oriented at Mastodon-style microblogging, does anyone know if that project is interested in adding tree-style threading that Kbin has?

I’m very new to all of this federated stuff. One question I have is what happens to communities if a server is just taken offline without notice, indefinitely? Say the owner dies or something and they were the sole manager.

#fediverse

Is Federating Magazines/Communities/etc a possibility in the future?

(Quite new to this, so if this is a dumb question, please beat me up gently ;))
ie; Instance 1 and Instance 2 decide to be closely federated, and share common mod and server rules and expectations. /m/fediverse share content with each other between the instances. Instance 3 wants to join, in as well, but does not share mod and server rules, so is not allowed to join in (contribute mods to the magazine really) but are able to read and post normally to @fediverse@instance1 or @fediverse@instance2 etc etc. kind of a consortium of server owners collaborating more closely with like minded servers and cutting down on duplicated magazines.

Perhaps this is overly complicated, I just like the concept of a distributed, mirrored service with redundancy in the event of an issue (ie server owner decides to quit, data center has outages, malicious actors damaging infrastructure, etc. I guess something like usenet was like in the early internet?

Welcome to Everton, the community for all things Everton Football Club.

As some subreddits continue blackouts to protest Reddit's plans to charge high prices for its API, Reddit has informed the moderators of those...

TL;DR: We should bring blogs (self-publishing) back instead of putting all our knowledge into other people's websites.

For years, people have posted their anecdotal or technical useful information on reddit because it was the most popular centralised but community-based website. So much that, this created the "<search query> + reddit" phenomenon.

We shouldn't have put all of our eggs in one basket: with the slow and painful downfall of the centralised network, we suddenly realised that most of our cumulative knowledge has been hosted on someone else's website of which owners don't give a damn about its users.

reddit is a link aggregator, it was meant to be used to discover other websites but it time, it turned into the website. This was a massive problem. Now that we've got the threadiverse, it makes me worry that we'll repeat the same mistake all over again.

Normally, I would've posted this on my blog and link it here but for years we've gotten accustomed to not "self-promote". This behaviour caused all traffic and engagement to stay in one place. There was nothing wrong with self-publishing; we left, spammers stayed.

Yes, there will always be that person with a bloated Wordpress blog with articles that sound like it was written by AI but, honestly, it's easy to block a domain, we've got the tools. We can fight off the spam and find gems on the internet.

The threadiverse is a beautiful thing, but accessing information shouldn't depend on it. Thanks for reading my blog post.

Is there something like /r/combatfootage or /r/ukrainewarreport to keep up to date what's going on out there somewhere around here?

#fediverse

Is there a place here to post about new magazines and communities for people to find out about them?

#fediverse

1. Can you find/interact with a kbin magazine from a lemmy instance (i.e lemmy.ml)? If so, how?

I have been able to find lemmy communities from kbin but not the other way around for some reason

2. How do "Reputation Points" work?

For some reason I'm sitting at -29 Reputation points and it appears to be mostly from someone who went and downvoted a bunch of my threads all at once in the @NFL magazine (for seemly no reason). Regardless though, most of the threads still have more upvotes than downvotes so should I not be in the positive?

I guess at the end of the day question 2 doesn't really matter, but I'm just curious.
