"My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy" -RedReader

RedReader is a Reddit app with over 100k downloads on the Google Play store

"I think it would be cool to work with some kind of "open forum protocol" which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API."

[#threadiverse @fediverse]

Hey everyone. I mod a sub which seeks video content. I've been posting myself and it's 90% youtube links. I see the irony of this and I'd like to surface 'fediverse' videos in my community if at all possible.

I see that Peertube is a thing. I've been able to search a bit for peertube videos on https://joinpeertube.org/browse-content - however I quickly run dry. Are there other ways to find / browse Peertube videos?

Are there other platforms besides Peertube I should be aware of?

Anything else you want to tell me about videos and fediverse? I'm ready to learn

As seen on kbin.social

Hey everyone. I made two themes inspired and based off the winternord theme some of you may have seen already in your instances. One is a darker, more contrasty theme (icy-nord-darker) based on the other (icy-nord). They are very simple, but they do fix some issues I had with winternord, such as some text being very hard to read because of its colour, or the background image often interfering with the foreground and making it hard to read stuff.

Let me know what you think, any suggestions, what you like, and what you dislike.

That and his previous statements say that he's not in it, good!

Tens of thousands of people have signed up for KBin and Lemmy accounts since I first published "Don’t tell people “it’s easy”," hundreds of new instances have been created, and "the threadiverse" is suddenly a hot topic of conversation.... Of course, it hasn't all gone smoothly, but the opportunity isn't going away.

An example of gathering extended information about the servers / organizations that run Fediverse Galaxies.

People are welcome to add their own organizations, and it is available at the link provided as a set of browsable web pages, as well as a JSON feed for consuming programmatically.

RSS is also available for people who want to learn about new orgs as they get created.

The repo is here: https://github.com/CoSocial-Canada/FediverseGalaxies

This still needs the schema for orgs to be fleshed out, and then displayed on the post pages in a way that is visible.

Background

@liaizon@wake.st made a post about what they are calling Fediverse Galaxies -- organizations that run more than one fedi-service https://social.wake.st/@liaizon/110566074350880589

Much like CoSocial is experimenting with a Lemmy instance as well as the main Mastodon one.

I pointed out that more information about the orgs involved could be interesting:

What is the organization type? How is it governed? How is it funded? How is it moderated? How can members get involved? — those are some of the important questions.

I suggested a GitHub based "API" site, which is what this is.

Just Nodes vs Networked Communities

This whole thread about the two main modalities for the future of the fediverse by @lrhodes is really worth reading:

it's an extraordinary claim, but i don't disbelieve it. has anyone else heard anything about this?

Apparently there was a secret meeting between admins of big Fedi instances and Meta, closed under an NDA, and of course they're not saying anything.

https://mstdn.social/@rysiek/110548129223290575

https://universeodon.com/@supernovae/110521648872299829

Somebody already made a pact to publicly commit admins to block Meta

Now we see why concentrating users on big instances is a liability

Update: Supernaut directly stated that he hasn't been contacted or attended a meeting, and went further to set up a page to visualize instances entering the Anti-Meta Fedipact

I was wondering, did I miss the federated authentication service? When a user has a mastadon account on one of the federated services, it is possible to follow and post on mastodon, react on lemmy and follow lemmy users, but creating a lemmy post isn't possible. When a user has a lemmy account, interaction with mastodon is possible, but to follow you need a mastodon account.

Isn't there an authentication service, so you can create user@fediverse.domain and interact wuth all services?

What is a Fediverse Galaxy?

As more and more instances are providing multiple services under the same management, we need a term to talk about this type of arrangement. A Fediverse Galaxy is a collection of federated software that is provided by the same admin or collective.

[Test post] Can I post to #Lemmy from #Mastodon by mentioning @fediverse sublemmy?

Let's see if it works...

Right now I'm using the Lemmy Modern UI extension from the Firefox WebStore. What are some others I should get as well?

I've been wondering about this for a couple of days. Having users-only instances could help with moderation and content visualization (think in beehaws.org pulling the plug on lemmy.world), while giving the freedom to different communities mods to treat their content as they want.

This would lend to three levels of administration/moderation.

1. At community level: Mods can let their communities be run as they want
2. At content-server level: By letting content-server admins run their instances with their own ethos. Letting people from certain users-only instances post, while other only read, and others are simply blocked.
3. At users level: By letting users-only server's admin to let their users access certain instances that are aligned with their own interest (no-porn instances, no-nsfw instances, etc.)

This can lead to a kind of meta-db, where instances can declare their ethos, and then be automatically peered, or automatically severed.

I think that the main benefit for this is that it's easier for newcomers to visualize. While having mixed instances removes redundancies, having this separation allows for more streamlined experience for the users.

Proposing that Lemmy or Kbin could substitute for Reddit while not acknowledging that lack of search makes it impossible to find the appropriate groups in a decentralized maze of servers is very on-brand for the Mastodon crowd.

Tried to search around it theres either stuff too vague or I wasn't able to find it. Simply looking to host my own instance for myself and my friends to join and communicate with other instances.

Try it, when I search [!functionalprint@kbin.social](/c/functionalprint@kbin.social) on the search bar, there are no results, but the community of https://kbin.social/m/functionalprint is very clearly there, and are both a part of the fediverse. What's going on?
