There’s a new playbook being written right now when it comes to the future of social media. The early-mover advantage is still in effect, and there’s a lot to figure out. Gone are opaque algorithms and the whims of any single company.
The fediverse represents a chance for quality journalism to shine again.
We talked to two leaders at fedi-forward publications — @TheConversationUS's @BostonAbrams, and @404mediaco's @jasonkoebler — about why they’re investing in the open social web, what they’ve learned so far, and their advice for other publishers just getting started.
We'd love to get the #NewstodonFriday hashtag going again. This, as far as we can remember, was started by @gbhnews, and is an initiative to feature work from newsrooms that have an active presence in the #fediverse
If you're a news organization, share your handle and your favorite story of the week in the comments to this! And if there's a publication in the fediverse that you love, let us know about that in the comments too.
Anyone in the Bay Area happen to have a connection to The Mercury News and/or SF Chronicle's digital media team? Would love to attempt to connect with them and somehow try and convince them to create their own official #Mastodon account. Not a Mastodon instance. Just an account. It'd be nice if they could use the #fediverse to better serve the local Bay Area community.
I like following accounts from different countries on here. I have not found very many (any really) accounts from Asian or African countries though. Are there not that many on Fedi yet, or am I just not finding the right ones?
Good morning and happy FRIDAY #Fediverse. We’ve made through another week.
Let’s take a moment for our #KoffeeWithKyle chat and see what we all have planned for today.
I’m currently at my neurologist appt. After that I have the usual work thing. Already have a couple of support issues from yesterday from when I was out. The later today just some school work and chillin. Not sure about the weekend yet.
Hach ja, nun ist es hoch offiziell, dass Reddit nun deine Daten für OpenAI sammelt. Alternativen diesbezüglich im Fediverse hatte ich schon länger her vorgeschlagen, das ist @LemmyDev und/oder @kbin, die nicht an deine kostenlosen Daten verdienen (profitieren).
»OpenAI darf Reddit-Daten nutzen:
Die beiden Unternehmen wollen eng zusammenarbeiten – und voneinander profitieren.«
🧵 …weshalb und warum ich oben @LemmyWorld und @kbin hier im #Fediverse zum obigen Artikel vorschlug, ist kein neues Thema aber auf Deutsch so gut wie (fast) nie in der (Fach-) Presse angegangen. Wie auch andere Fediverse #Tool's sonst auch, die miteinander #kommunizieren.

»Lemmy and Kbin: The Best Reddit Alternatives?
Love #Reddit but tired of what's happening to it? We check out #Lemmy and #Kbin, two open-source fediverse #alternative's that are growing fast.«
Pixelfed - Wie Mastodon, aber mit schönen Fotos - GNU/Linux.ch
Wer keine Lust auf Instagram hat, weil es dem Meta-Konzern gehört, sollte sich mal Pixelfed anschauen. Denn Pixelfed ist Teil des Fediverse – so wie Mastodon. Nur dass sich bei Pixelfed alles um schöne Fotos dreht.
Was ist das Fediverse?
Wer neu bei Mastodon ist, wird die Belehrung schon bekommen haben: Mastodon ist keine Plattform, sondern nur einer der Dienste, mit denen man am „Fediverse“ teilnehmen kann. Das Fediverse besteht aus einer ganzen Reihe Dienste, die alle das gleiche Protokoll benutzen – also kompatibel untereinander sind.
Was ist Pixelfed?
Pixelfed ist ein Dienst, bei dem Fotos im Mittelpunkt stehen. Während man bei Mastodon mit dem Text anfängt und gelegentlich ein Foto anhängt, fängt ein Post bei Pixelfed damit an, dass man ein Foto hochlädt und man dann vielleicht noch etwas dazu schreibt.
Since some of you in the #fediverse have asked: Yes I can see your replies when I post from Flipboard. And yes, I can also reply back from Flipboard to people in the fediverse and I try to do so as much as possible.
Hello everyone! Consider this an #introduction post! Not used to post pictures online, but with my growing interest of the #fediverse, I thought I might as well try #Pixelfed, so here we go!
@gay_ornithischians@yassie_j Hey there 👋 ! I am so excited for the future we are heading to, yet I can't see why you don't seem to be excited for what's about to happen in #mastodon adoption? I believe that it is imperative we should stop the #fragmentation within the #Fediverse to get everyone on the same page 😁
