Central thesis: “In a world where established platforms are turning from the promised rescue of digital journalism to its danger, journalism should consider being active in the fediverse.”
Hi y’all. I signed up recently and still getting acquainted with the interface. Is there any way to change/collapse the posts? I’m not sure I want this “feed” style of browsing. Something like old Reddit would be great. Thanks!
There have been a couple of posts somewhat recently asking what can be done to attract new users to the Fediverse. My answer was basically “make it something new people would want to see and stick around for”. The crux of that was basically less news, less politics, less rage and more, well, anything else.
Fedi folks, I turn to you for advice with a bit of a problem. I co-admin an ActivityPub-enabled Wordpress site with 15+ years worth of blog posts and a couple of long podcast series. When WP announced their "vision" to become a CMS for "AI", the collective admin reaction was to get the hell off that boat before it turned to algorithmic shit.
I’m thrilled about reactions and an glad to see them supported. Several clients specifically mention supporting piefed (Blorp, Summit) - and technically they do, insofar as Piefed’s API overlaps with Lemmy’s API - but I’ve encountered none which have yet added support for reactions.
Keep hitting nginx error 413 Request Entity Too Large when attempting to upload an image with alt text to !NiceMemes@sopuli.xyz as a piefed.zip user. Wondering if this is a piefed.zip or piefed in general limit, since if I run to my original account at @emotional_series7814@kbin.melroy.org the post goes through.
I’m the moderator of a community I created on Lemmy (/c/Delorean) and I’d like to add my piefed account as a moderator. Is this possible at all? I tried posting from this account to that community but I don’t see an option to add myself as moderator even though I’m logged in as my Lemmy account. Is this possible at all??
There seems to be a serious lack of a Discord equivalent fediverse platform unlike other social media alternatives. Most of the closest options are either too overwhelming in UI/UX for majority of people coming from Discord, missing deal-breaking features like video calling or are not federated.
On Digg there’s some drama because someone registered the community “/wallstreetbets,” and the admins took it from him and gave it to one mod of the subreddit “r/wallstreetbets.”
ActivityPub is getting its first formal update path since 2018. I wrote about why this matters, how this leads to some strange and funny power dynamics, and about who actually participate
I’d like to switch MULTIVERSE to require registration approval, at least temporarily during periods of lower staff availability, but I don’t think anyone on our instance is receiving emails at the moment, and notifying users that their application has been approved is something I want to get working before requiring applications. I haven’t received My verification email.
Hi! Has anyone here watched both the original Urusei Yatsura from 1981 and the remake from 2022? How do the two compare? I’m curious to hear about impressions and opinions.
I just tried to make a post on Mastodon and tag a community in it so that my post would show up in that community – something I’ve done many times before.
Following https://tarte.nuage-libre.fr/c/fediverse/p/194717/we-need-more-users I decided to explore data a little bit more. I’m not the biggest fan of growth-as-as-target so I wanted to see how much the people were participating in the discussion.
So I made a script that post once every 8 hours or where I start the script. The script will post to random c/ that has subscribers but low activity from a corresponding subreddit in hopes of jump starting it.
The “Do not display posts with which I have already interacted (opened/upvoted/downvoted)” setting can be incredibly useful in general platform use but it can often create a lot of confusion at the same time.
