So what's the deal with the Threadiverse exactly?

Hello world! I'm trying out Kbin after seeing it for like ages by now on Mastodon.
This place is now infested by rats. Hope you don't mind it.

I can't seem to subscribe to new communities that are not on kbin. I've tried to search for !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world in both the search area and the magazine area with no luck. I'm using Firefox browser on an Android phone.

Anyone have a solution?

Interesting accounts to follow on Mastodon and the Fediverse


I just found this, forgive me if its been posted before!

I just joined here and I'm so incredibly confused, to be honest.

How exactly can I follow communities from other 'spaces' in the fediverse? I'm trying to follow the bisexual community on lemmy.world and it says to copy/paste !bisexual@lemmy.world in the search bar of whatever you're using, but that comes up with nothing here.

I'm very lost and also very stupid. Please help.

I made an account on Kbin, and I'm looking at posts from Lemmy and BeeHaw and Kbin and sometimes I forget to even check what the source is.

So am I accessing Lemmy through Kbin? Am I seeing the entire Fediverse through Kbin's interface? Am I reading Kbin, which gets its content from across the Fediverse?

In short, I'm wondering what the local terminology is for what I signed up for and what I'm seeing when I pull up Kbin.

I want to address the uproar in the Fediverse about preemptively blocking the Meta ActivityPub product. And whether it should be at the instance or individual user level. A variety of reasons for and against this have been given.

At the moment, I would go with the latter. But no matter the arguments, the reason every single Fediverse user should block it is that Meta is a box of c*nts.

They have always been a box of c*nts. And they will always be a box of c^nts. Meta should be trusted as far as I can kick Zuck. About six feet. They will immediately or eventually try to enshitify whatever product they launch. At that point, administrators should block them at the instance level.

Maybe I am wrong, but maybe the Easter Bunny is real.

Do I need to remind anyone these are the mofos greenlighting the spread of misinformation of all types, science denial, propaganda from the enemies of democracy, conspiracy theories from every lunatic on earth, election stealing, suicide instigation for teenagers, and the mass genocide of Muslims in Myanmar?

With its latest update, PeerTube now supports remote transcoding (in shared servers etc). This is huge and can help with the large amount of computing power required to trandcode 4k videos.

microblog of #kbin seems to be federated with #mastodon so large amount of contents are cascading like a waterfall. This is #fediverse experience.

Seeing stuff about reddit being posted to 10 different technology boards, plus reddit-themed ones, then reposted further just makes this whole idea a mess. Reposts have to be consolidated into a single comment thread.

Attached: 2 images I'm not kidding, @pixelfed has silently shipped Live streaming support over a year ago. I don't think it's ready for prime time yet, that's why I haven't advertised it that much. I'm working to ship this within the next month 🚀 https://docs.pixelfed.org/running-pixelfed/optional-features/livestreaming/

Imagine a world without platform lock-in, where no ban or billionaire could take down your social network. That’s what ActivityPub has planned.

A growing number of instances (mainly of Mastodon so far) are signing an 'Anti-Meta Fedi Pact', pledging to block any instance owned by Meta in the fediverse.

I don't know how big this will get or how effective it will be, but if you run a fediverse instance, you should take a look at this https://fedipact.online/

I had a dream about the Fediverse for some reason...

Rather than try to act like a link aggregator where people submit links to articles and images and that submission comes with a comment thread specific to the fediverse instance in which it was submitted, what if each news site, image host, blog, whatever was itself the instance and the reddit-style instances federate with those. Someone submits an article to /m/news and the comments link goes to the instance associated with that article. Submission is the act of 'bridging' the article's instance to yours. Everyone sees the same comment thread and it's tied to the article itself. Comment on the article via kbin and everyone sees your comment. Perhaps the user can also see what other communities/instances where the article has been posted, and perhaps comments could be filtered by user instance.

Could also have instances have separate comment sections that don't go the main one for communities that prefer to have insulated discussion (the discord effect, where you can share a link with friends and be assured that everyone can chat about it in an isolated environment), like "forking" the article.

I can see several benefits (and a few potential issues) with this, but it seemed like an interesting idea at least.

Obviously the biggest issue with this is getting the content sources on-board with acting like a federated server. But then again, tons of major sites use various third-party tech for comments on articles...

any recomendations for matrix chat rooms?

I've started #kbin and #lemmy accounts to understand both, then eventually chose one. Leaning towards kbin as of now. Any advice?
