Fediverse

Looking at the front page of this forum and many others, leads me to conclude that kbin has a ridiculous spam problem....

A certain stage of development has ended - a prototype was created that allowed me to verify whether such a form makes sense in the #fediverse. Until now, it was a project that I developed in my free time. Now, thanks to the great people from Nlnet, I will be able to devote much more time to it. This time, we have already...

We recently chatted with two of the devs involved with Bonfire. Honestly, they have some really amazing ideas about building a modular Fediverse platform that developers can build on for their own apps.

It's been a good time here on kbin.social. But the lack of perspective and communication has done it for me. I lost hope that the instance would heal eventually and will move to another place instead. Hope you're ok Ernest and all the best for the future.

Threads’ fediverse plans are coming together.

The popular Reddit alternative's user count has grown a lot over the past year. One problem, though: users and admins can't delete images.

I've been recommended some communities on Lemmy servers, but when I go to kbin.social/m/community_name@server, I get a 404. What do I need to do for a community to get federated?

Biden’s Threads posts can show up in Mastodon clients.

Lemmy instances by number of communities with over 1 thousand (5 thousands, 10 thousands) of monthly users:...

Is the fediverse GDPR-compliant? A horror story of uploading sensitive PII to lemmy and the numerous bugs that blocked its removal.

Look at this fucking mess with these bots and lonely losers with too much time on their hand. They've all taken a dump on multiple instances and magazines....

The Mixtape is an ongoing effort by We Distribute to showcase the musicians of the Fediverse and their work. Each issue is a playlist of 10 tracks centered around a theme, that our followers can vote on....

Seems like an interesting effort. A developer is building an alternative Java-based backend to Lemmy’s Rust-based one, with the goal of building in a handful of different features. The dev is looking at using this compatibility to migrate their instance over to the new platform, while allowing the community to use their apps...

Somebody who was previously active on the kbin codeberg repo has left that to make a fork of kbin called mbin....

I'm truly very fascinated by Fediverse, but I only discovered it 2 weeks ago and that's why I'm devouring it and still have a lot of doubts. I research tutorials, save links and my main intention is to communicate with cool people to exchange good ideas!

A while ago I posted a thread back on the...

I forced myself to go back a little to Reddit recently. Because while I endorse and love the existence of the Fediverse, I can't in good conscience, tolerate the instability of it. Any other time I go somewhere, I'm met with a page that says KBin is working on resolving issues, then I go somewhere else and it's fine....

The fledgling Fediverse discovery hub takes a big step today, showcasing deeper integrations with Mastodon, and a developer API for communities.

A libre networking project that's designed to bridge protocol spaces together announced its progress and intentions, and Mastodon users freaked out.

Founder Eugen Rochko on helping Threads federate, dodging venture capital, and why he hopes Bluesky abandons its protocol

For our third episode of Decentered, we talked to Ryan Barrett, the creator of Bridgy Fed! Ryan has a lot of experience in working with a variety of decentralized social web protocols, including IndieWeb, ActivityPub, AT Protocol, and Nostr, and has a lot of interesting thoughts on making them talk to each other.

When registering a country code domain, keep in mind where the domain is being registered. A shift in government or geopolitics can have serious consequences.

A lot of us are pretty new to the fediverse and we've arrived just in time to grapple with what is easily the biggest federation/defederation controversy ever to hit it. I've put this thread together to hopefully help communicate some of the more complex ideas that we're trying to get our heads around....
