Fediverse

The NLnet foundation has played a significant role in the fediverse, with their financial support for most major projects. In this piece I meet some of the people behind NLnet, and get to know the foundation.

Unsure if this fits here, but the tool's been quite fun to look through. It lets you look at specific Fediverse software and instances, see graphs for their growth. And there's even a whole section for the Threadiverse (Lemmy & Kbin)

I understand in any Foss project federated delete can be turned off by forking the project and removing it but I feel like for the vast majority of instances they won't do that. I noticed Lemmy does not support federated delete leaving me unable to delete post from other instances. Is this planned?

The brain drain comes as X has made it increasingly difficult for researchers to use its platform.

As the Fediverse continues to grow, new challenges arise in community management and user safety. A new organization seeks to make it easier.

As co-admin of one of the largest tech instances on the Fediverse, it's ironic that I struggle with social platforms so much.

How do I see what instances kbin.social is federated with?

The decentralized Instagram alternative is a great option if you want to back up your feed, focus on photo-sharing, or cut loose from Meta's empire entirely. And making the leap is surprisingly easy.

Many people in Japan depend on the NERV service for earthquake alerts. Unfortunately, they'll no longer be able to receive them on X.

“We are moving forward under the premise that our operations should move from platforms managed by other companies to those within our control. Our app of course works on Apple and Google but these are different in terms of API constraints. On the other hand, distribution on ActivityPub is where we can manage our content completely independently. For this reason, in response to requests to move our operations onto different platforms will eventually only result in the same outcome as this time and therefore will not be considered. As NERV posts are still accessible via social media linked with ActivityPub, we plan to continue sharing there.”

I want to hear from people who have two ActivityPub instances running in Docker containers, on the same Docker network, and have them federating with each other.

Hey there!

I have this project "Webmesh" that I've been working on for the last month. It is yet another solution providing a zero-configuration WireGuard mesh/VPN solution. Mostly similar to projects like NetZero or TailScale. More infoz is on the project website https://webmeshproj.github.io/.

The difference with this project is I am building it on top of a distributed architecture where state is maintained on each node via Raft consensus. Requests to mutate network state are automatically fielded to the leader node as necessary - and if that node goes away - the network can continue on without them.

Most recently I released a new feature that allows independent meshes to be bridged with each other. An example of what this looks like can be found here https://github.com/webmeshproj/webmesh/tree/main/examples/mesh-to-mesh. It got me realizing that this is becoming a sort of "federated networking" solution. And that immediately made me want to turn to a Fediverse related community to get some feedback.

Excited to hear what you think!

Manton Reece is the creator of micro.blog

Today we added Pixelfed cross-posting to Micro.blog. This joins our existing set of cross-posting services like Mastodon, Tumblr, Flickr, Bluesky, Nostr, and others.

Now you can post photos to your own blog, at your own domain name where you control your identity, and have Micro.blog send a copy elsewhere automatically. When posting, you can optionally select which services you want to include: Screenshot of cross-posting options showing Bluesky, Nostr, and Pixelfed.

Because Micro.blog has built-in support for ActivityPub, your friends on Mastodon can also follow your blog directly without you needing to copy anything, or without you needing an account on any other platforms. There’s a lot of flexibility in how you want to configure this and which services you want to use. Some people even like to create a separate microblog just for photos.

As with all Micro.blog features, we’re looking forward to hearing how people use this. Photos are special, and there’s always more we want to do with them. We’ll continue to tweak the Pixelfed cross-posting based on feedback. Enjoy!

There’s a crucial difference between federatable and federated.

Just FYI: You can help promote the #Fediverse by cross-posting.

There's still a sizable userbase on #Reddit and many Kbin/Fediverse users still use Reddit. That's fine. You can help in a small way by posting interesting content on both platforms, then mentioning "This post is also available on the Fediverse here:".

This will at the very least begin discussions about alternate platforms and I highly doubt Reddit can find any rule to fault you for doing so. This is also how Digg started leaking users to Reddit, so it works. Exposure is key. You may make a new user, or get a developer interested in contributing who wasn't aware of the Fediverse before, or didn't think it was significant.

There are a few fundamentally broken things about how Mastodon posts work that are terrible vectors for abuse, as well as being bad for basic usability. Maybe they are fixable, I don't know. To be clear: I am a fan of Mastodon. I have been enjoying my time there much more than I ever enjoyed Twitter or Facebook or Instagram. And I am 100% in the "I won't touch anything Jack Dorsey has ...
