When joining or returning to a service with potentially hundreds of servers, it's possible to get mixed-up about what part of the network you joined on. Pixelfed has a handy new feature to put you on the right path again.
There's been an ongoing debate about whether communities should combine or stay separate. Both have significant disadvantages and advantages:...
Hello everyone,...
It is probably due to a number of people stopping using their alts after some instance hopping....

I was never extremely active on Mastodon until recently but I followed it's development relatively closely from its infancy. And I will say that it's really strange to watch lemmy face nearly identical issues that Mastodon did when it was in a similar development stages. (Though, some of the drama thus far have been essentially...
I am looking to change my instance since many defederation and censorship decisions on lemmy.world....

The virtual unconference for #Fediverse Builders is back! Check out the dates, and come talk about the future of the network over a two-day event!
The fediverse is growing, with millions of users sprawling across the network. But with user growth also comes an increase in non-profits, brands, public figures, and analytics products....
Alexandrite is slick, gorgeous, and brings a lot to the Lemmy experience. I highly recommend giving it a try.
I figured I'd post this here so that people can know about it. If it is against the rules mods please let me know....

We have bookwyrm.social, which does an excellent job at replacing the need for goodreads (which is owned by Amazon). But is there an alternative to imdb.com?
FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites....
The best part of the fediverse is that anyone can run their own server. The downside of this is that anyone can easily create hordes of fake accounts, as I will now demonstrate....
I think they are leaving out something quite important in this blog post - nobody is using their real names here....
I really want to nip threads in the bud. Besides blocking threads.net itself, defederate from any instances that do not. This is blatantly an EEE strategy and a united front is the only way to save what have been accomplished....
Federated Code forges have been an ongoing development for some time, but their introduction could provide a way to connect many different projects and organizations across the web, using the ActivityPub-based ForgeFed spec.
