[email protected] is not a place to file your grievances with "free speech", disrupting users, moderation, etc.

If you have problems with users: File complaints to the mods or just block them.

If you have problems with mods: File complaints with admins of the instance or just migrate to an alternative community.

If you have problems with an entire instance: Just leave it.

This community was essentially unmoderated for a while and I've been recently approached to take over moderation duties here. What I don't intend to do is to change any existing rules here but to enforce what has piled up in the moderation queue.

The discussion under the recent post about spam accounts turned into a flamewar regarding US domestic politics which has literally nothing to do with the Fediverse.

With dozens of comments, I don't have the bandwidth to sift through them individually and I've locked the thread. The PSA about spam accounts still stands which is why I didn't remove the post. The accounts involved with that flamewar get a pass for this time. Consider this a warning. Further trolling about US political parties will result in bans.

Today we're opening a public beta for our social web integration in Ghost. For the first time, any site on Ghost(Pro) can now try out ActivityPub.

Just like apps and websites implement "Sign in with Apple" and Google couldn't we build some kind of federated authentication provider? Then everyone creates an account there and fedi apps can implement an easy way to authenticate users. Even non fedi apps could use it. I imagine user interaction between different fediverse platforms would be much easier too.

I guess could run an auth instance. Ideally everyone would run their own, keeping your data safe.

Is there something likes this already? Saw some discussion here but not much else https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/single-sign-on-for-fediverse/712

Hearts? (pawb.social)

I just moved in from lemmy.world, and I found that a few posts and comments have hearts that are counted/added at the same time as upvotes (can't add them separately) What are these

Lemmy's design is focused on quality content by ditching the Karma farmers and addicts. No more chasing upvotes—people here actually focus on real value instead of feeding the ego.

EDIT: I know there are upvotes and downvotes, but the problem with Reddit is you can't post in most communities if your karma or reputation is bad. This is a big problem because herd mentality prevails there and if ypu have unpopular opinions you're basically censored.

Lemmy isn't designed to milk ypur dopamine with notifications every 10 upvotes, so you focus more on posting valuable cont instead of farming for approval and upvotes.

Basically the title. I'd like to not lose anything and import users, communities, posts/comments, etc to hit the ground running but on a more stable platform.

@[email protected] Is that possible?

Previously this week I released a Lemmy guide in Finnish, as the platform has started to gain a bit more traction here. Based on that, I made an English version on my blog. I tell about what is Lemmy, how to choose an instance, how to find communities and how the interoperability with Mastodon works. I also tell a bit about mobile apps and my own experiences as an instance admin.

I feel like it would be best to proxy YouTube, or subscribe to paid indie channels like nebula, but without a user base and without ad revenue or subscription revenue I don’t know how quality content can come to PeerTube. Maybe I’m just missing the content but when I’ve checked it’s all very low quality, just random unedited webcam vblogs mostly.

Welcome Fedi Friends to the episode 6 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.

With me today is Rimu! Rimu is the primary developer of pyfedi, a link aggregator such as Lemmy / Mbin which is similar to Reddit, written in Python and Flask. Rimu's piefed.social is powered by his pyfedi application and the site looks very clean and looking at the software looks fairly easy to configure. Rimu thank you very much for joining me.

TikTok basically invented shorts. Maybe Snapchat. And everyone else’s sucks because their AI isn’t as good. It’s a toxic medium anyway. I with the Pixelfed creator would just focus on Pixelfed, I use that and it’s a total win, just needs some kinks worked out and more popularity.

So I realized that signing up on lemmy.world may not have been the best option for me, so I'm wondering what the best way to move instances (I'd like to move to pawb.social or lemmy.blahaj.zone) for my account would be I'm most worried about leaving everything I made on this account behind forever, but I've seen online that there's no way to actually move your account to another instance, so what do you guys suggest the best procedure is?

Pixelfed: "groups" are coming and they will be compatible with Lemmy (who knows if they will also be compatible with Friendica)

@fediverse

Groups are not new to Pixelfed, we have webUI support but the feature wasn't polished enough for use, until now ✨

:pixelfed: Groups will be compatible with #Lemmy, #Mbin, #Smithereen and other projects, and will resemble Facebook Groups in our official app!

Stay tuned, we'll be shipping the updated Groups support in the app and webUI this weekend 🚀

Important notice to libranet.de and venera.social users: in the next few days there will be optimizations on dB with temporary suspensions of the service

@fediverse

In the next days I need to optimize the large database tables of libranet.de and venera.social. The database has grown to an extent where the server would run out of disk space in the next weeks.

This is a time-consuming and resource-intensive process that can block other database queries. That's why I will switch on maintenance mode beforehand.

I'll start with the large database tables of venera.social. When this is done I'll continue with libranet.de.

I started a c/ for owncast and peertube [email protected] . so far its just been me and a bot generating content for it. the bot just post stats of who has the most hours streamed and most views, along with those that streamed most recently at the time a post was made.

I pinned a comment of a curated list of fediverse streamers (their stream url and mastodon handle), https://lemmy.world/post/26651394 . the list excludes and radio and TV streams and the streamers are people that you can interact with

Its a work in progress. but it should give more engagement with lemmy, also I am open to suggestions.

not something id want to do but id suggest a twitch community, since the twitch subreddit is a really big community

I have a personal website that is just a landing page made with Carrd. I’ve been interacting on the Fediverse (Lemmy, Mastodon, Pixelfed, BlueSky so far). I would like to consolidate my public Fediverse persona, write a little bit longer form blogging, and be able to have a central spot for my pictures and posts.

I’m looking at using write.as or micro.blog on a subdomain of my personal website. What are people’s experience with these two platforms and are there other good ones?

Has anyone found a good workflow for consolidating personas? I know you can use mastodon logins on Pixelfed. Is there a scenario where I just have one server login and tie everything to that?

Someday I’ll try self hosting but for now, I’ll pay for decent services.
