Fediverse Meta

Mastodon displays properly Markdown posts from other instances, but doesn’t allow creating posts with it. I’m trying to fix this. I know there is glitch-soc, but I don’t want to switch to a fork for a single feature. So is there a patch for mainstream Mastodon that adds this functionality?

My goal is to average 1 post and 7 comments a week. I started late, and not there yet, but hope to get there within the next month. Do you have any goals or plans on building the Fediverse?

like can i send a dm to someone and talk to them here?

I can never seem to get the page to load, the prpgress bar is always stuck when trying to access the webpage.

On mastodon side there is iftas.

In other words, can any user delete its data on its will and is there something that will remove its data from all the connected activitypub services? I believe this should actually be a basic feature and pretty much a requirement.

Once again, the Open Social Web community is meeting online for the global FediForum unconference, to discuss, teach and learn, and move the Open Social Web forward.

Piefed currently has anonymous — or more accurately, pseudonymous, voting.

Hello MULTIVERSE users and off-site visitors alike. We have recently defederated fedinsfw.app due to ongoing child pornography concerns which the fedinsfw admin team are aware of, and do not intend to address. Before I explain the key issue, I’d like to define a few terms:

Is it possible to listen to music hosted on Funkwhale from Mastoson (or any other fediverse social media for that matter)? I can see user accounts (though empty), but I couldn’t get albums or songs working.

Telegram channels are sort of unique in that they combine broadcasting read-only messages and having a full-blown chat, like any other group chat. Is there anything similar in federated messengers? For now I have to split up my single community into a microblog on Mastodon and a group chat in Matrix and this is super inconvenient.

So I’ve been thinking about the whole PSKY winning the bid for WBD situation, plus a ton of other US News sites being owned and controlled by MAGA — and now that PSKY owns massive legacy brands like CNN and platforms like TikTok, it got me wondering:

So, I’ve uploaded some videos on peertube.wtf and I can’t see how large each one is, nor can I sort them. I want to be able to delete large videos if I run out of total quota. This is on version 8.0.1.

As it stands right now, it looks like we have to just judge based off of how old posts are to see if we can still interact with a community.

Hello, I’m currently setting up a nodeBB forum with some federated Communities. I wanted to test out how this post will work throughout the other instances. If you would be kind enough to leave a comment to see if it works, I’d appreciate it. :)

There’s too many of them!

How to prevent your phone from being opened forcefully

Most major platforms still rely on a very old identity model: one username, tied to one email, tied to one permanent account. Once something goes wrong — lost email, deleted account, forgotten recovery info — the identity is gone forever, even if the user wants to return.

Digg’s officially launched now for about a month and it’s… really underwhelming.

Idk, it might be old news to everyone.

So I decided to set up a nodeBB server on a VPS and am trying to get everything set up - and I am trying to get the fediverse working. I have a couple of questions for anyone who might have some experience.

Hi, new to the fediverse, mainly looking at Lemmy and mastodon right now through mbin, liking it very much.

Hi there! So I understand that federated systems can speak to one another and interact. My question I guess is should I be using my Mastodon account to log into PieFed, and PixelFed, and Bookwyrm? Or do I need to create specific accounts for all these services, just as I did before?

Vote manipulation is getting more common. Some recent examples:

Hi,

Im right now using lemmy/piefed but what other neat projects should i look into as a newcomer to this world?

most of the instances I could find were filled with liberal centrists who call themselves leftist, and hate actual theory-reading commies.

Stupid question, but I thought you click the sidebar, and the three options were “join/leave, post, and block”.

I tried googling it, but no results listed any contact info.

I’m part of the discord community for Loops (by Dansup), and earlier this morning, a user mentioned that they made a new Youtube alternative, that’s built upon ATProto, but that they plan on adding federation to it.

I had a random idea for a potential Fediverse platform: what if someone took the idea and design of Upscrolled, but as a decentralized, federated alternative?

How do I quote in #Tusky version 32.1?

Does it cache stuff, or is it a simple image proxy? My goal is to compress and store all external images. If an instance goes down, all is not lost as a copy would still be in my server.

Hello everyone! After Discord’s new CEO came to power, I think its now time to find a viable discord alternative. I figured out that fluxer.app might very well be the best one so I decided to make a community about the Fediverse on there

There was recently some discussion on Feddit.dk surrounding the usage of upvotes and downvotes.

In reviewing the Fedipact page, I noticed the message about Threads having moved to threads.com nearly a year ago. In reviewing the federation status of various Lemmy instances with the Federation Checker tool, I noticed that threads.com doesn’t appear to have been added to their defederation lists. Is Threads able to federate with other Fediverse instances using its new domain, including those that have defederated from threads.net?

I use a few social media platforms at the same time. I’m used to seeing the same things on each platform. That’s how the internet has been for years - you read the same things on the same five sites.

Haven’t been able to access them for the past 24 hours

I have been unable to log in all morning. I have not seen anything about it. Support xmpp is unavailable too.
