Will be my 1-year anniversary on Mastodon and the fediverse in June. Been that long since I left Reddit.
But I still feel very much like a noob. For example, I have a hard time grasping why I can’t sign into my Mastodon profile (https://lemmy.world/u/Hyphlosion@donphan.social ) on lemmy. There’s obviously a profile of my posts, so why can’t I sign into it on lemmy and use it?
Dear @potus, I am excited to see you joining the fediverse, but I question your decision to join Threads.
Please consider committing to #OpenGovernment by creating @potus this will allow you to reach all #Threads users as well as the millions on #Mastodon#Misskey#Friendica#Pixelfed#Lemmy and more with just one account and without favoring a commercial endeavour that still has the power to censor you.
Anyone have a guide to using #bookwyrm they like or have found helpful?
I've had a few friends sign up and mention they were a bit confused about getting started, finding people, finding/adding books, etc. Ideally something geared toward users who are familiar with the fediverse but still a bit new to it. #askFedi
@peoplelikedogs I would reccomend the guided tour on every #bookwyrm instance (found in the footer) as that was perfect for me the first time. Just follow up on what it says to continue the tour, and you should be good. If you have any more questions i would ask the admins/mods of the instance, or do this (asking for help), on online platforms like #mastodon or #lemmy.
Um grupo de extrema direita que ficou mordido com o posicionamento que tomamos em relação a ditadura militar e a liberdade de acesso ao lazer e conhecimento iniciou hoje ataques de DDoS contra o nosso servidor.
Estou indo atrás de reforçar nossa infraestrutura e não vou abandonar esse projeto de descentralização e democratização da informação.
Thinking back on my pre-#Fediverse experience, when "social media" took off, my engagement was little different to the shitlords who enjoy their status on those media. Economics says you get what you incentivise for.
But since starting this account, and others on other Fediverse sites (#BookWyrm, #Lemmy, #Pixelfed, etc), I've really got into the groove of being positive, ignoring or downplaying the negative.
It's how I want the Internet to be. Be (as in YOU) the change you want to see.
If you're interested in following along in what is happening in the /c/cybersecurity community on infosec.pub (#Lemmy) than you can follow @cybersecurity!
I was going to mess around with Lemmy but I enabled 2FA yesterday, and somehow failed to update 1Password with the 2FA. So, I guess I've lost that account. 🤷
There were no recovery codes offered when I enabled 2FA. Sigh.
I've got a few of the Trans Pride's interesting in learning about the Fediverse. Instead of making a video like I said a few days ago I think the easier option at this stage is to make a few written documents.
An Essay explaining what the Fediverse is, How to join it and why you should care.
A Presintation for me to show off in Meetings, Calls and in person to expalin it to someone who doesn't want to read the documents.
Optional: Make a video to explain it, so I can send it to people but this is the last thing I will most likely do for this.
Have you even tried #Piefed? Piefed.social is:
"A lemmy/kbin clone written in Python with Flask.
-Clean, simple code that is easy to understand and contribute to. No fancy design patterns or algorithms.
-Easy setup, easy to manage - few dependencies and extra software required.
-AGPL.
-First class moderation tools."
It's actually really quite nice, and I don't hear much noise about it. Go give this project a look at https://piefed.social.
Activitypub or Atproto ... one item that both Mastodon have in common with Bluesky is amount of "spam" links and accounts boosting those "spammy" accounts
Several "award winning art / photo" profiles I saw had 5 or more links including their pinned post
Win goes to Bluesky since they seem to have better control of that ... for now
Over 8 months ago now, I started using the Fediverse, messing around with different instances.
I'm glad I've found a pretty good instance of Mastodon.social instead of using Lemmy, Kbin / Mbin or other things like PixelFed.
I'm not saying I'll not use these in the future, but I want a main account for the Fediverse to help bring family and friends in as well as learn the basics & complex parts of the fediverse.
We started this account less than 6 months ago. It's going pretty well – thanks to you: 4.2k followers, lots of interactions, questions, and comments. 🎉
A couple of weeks ago, the European Broadcasting Union (#EBU) asked us to write a guest article about our experience with #Mastodon / the #Fediverse, explain the basics, and point out the advantages. :mastodon:
Challenge accepted. 👍
So here's the finished post by @lxplm, hot off the #blog press. ⌨️
@dw_innovation Since you're posting mostly articles, do consider (cross-)posting to #lemmy as well, as it's way more set for these sort of posts. You can even post in to lemmy from mastodon by @-ing the community you want.
Thanks for putting in something awesome, @ernest! Not sure if you want feedback, but functionality is as full as I know it to be. Maybe better. It is really fast right now! Hope you are on the mend.
There was a bug with KBin some days ago where it would send huge amounts of federation activities to Lemmy instances which would overload them. To mitigate this, lemmy.world and some other instances had to block kbin.social. I believe the .world admins tried to get in contact with @ernest. You can read some more details here.
I would also suggest that you and Ernest join the Lemmy Admin chat on Matrix where this problem was found and discussed.
/kbin is feeling great right now
