What are some of the more novel forms of fediverse software?

Jump

  • Socialhome with its tiled display of posts
    Bonfire, which is modular, and will be available in many flavours (for Open Science, organisations or simply a social network)
    Mobilizon - events and groups.
    Gancio - events, published anonymously. Instance can be followed from Fediverse as an account.
    Bookwyrm for books
    Postmarks - a federated bookmarking website
    Funkwhale - for uploading and listening to music
    Castopod - Wordpress but for podcasting?
    Misskey and its forks - more than Twitter emulation - includes emoji reactions and animated text!

    • Announcing Ibis, the federated Wikipedia Alternative

    Jump

  • With biased by design I have meant something like Conservapedia, RationalWiki, etc.. They do not try to make neutral point of view, as is (or at least should be) applied on Wikipedia.

    Jump

  • You could peek at two opposing views on the same article, for example.

    Post-truth as a service.

  • Wikipedia is not a Big Tech nor a commercial enterprise prone to enshittification nor it profits from surveillance capitalism. We don't need another, competing, universal source of enclopedical information. Wikipedia, on contrary to X, Reddit, Facebook, etc. is not going anywhere. Any self-styled Wikipedia alternative ended up dead, thematic, or biased by design.

    However there are many thematical and fan wikis hosted on Fandom, which itself is a commercial company and there were already some contoversies concerning it. Wikis on Fandom are very resource-intensive compared to Wikipedia or independent thematical wikis.

    Ability to edit at several wikis from the same account without being tied to Fandom could be one of things that Ibis offers and could benefit independent wiki sites.

    And of course, MediaWiki is free software and federation could be added as a functionality.

    • (De)centralisation of Lemmy communities in numbers

    Jump

    • what's your favorite thing about Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Its federation. Even to that point, than I can reply to you when not using Lemmy at all. I am writing this from /kbin.

    • Adding instances to your services?

    Jump

    • I need a Fediverse slogan

    Jump

  • „Connect with people, on your terms”

    • What's going on with kbin.social?

    Jump

  • This time is probably unrelated to @ernest's supposed inactivity. Actually, his another /kbin server, https://karab.in has been brought back on 15 of February.

    Why not kbin.social? Well, this server is co-administered by FTdL (Technology for People Foundation) (https://kbin.social/m/kbinMeta/t/177112).

    Entire FTdL infrastructure was down from 16 o'clock in Cracow to this morning.

    • On lemmy everyone acts like reddit is dying and only the worst part is still there. and on reddit they are saying lemmy didn't catch on and reddit's worst part are here so reddit is now better .

    • What server should I join?

    Jump

  • Asked a few qoto users, you actually are able to add a hashtag view as another column.

    • What Major Social Media Platforms Would You Like To See Federated Alternatives To That Don't Exist Yet?

    Jump

  • You probably want to use a regional instance to have more relevant users, groups and events, but there is a global search engine for Mobilizon

    For example, I am using a Polish instance, with an unsuprising domain https://mobilizon.pl

    With an account, you are able to publish events, with header image, title, category, tags, date, place, description (with formatting available), and metadata. The event can be accesible publicly, or only via link.
    The event (if public) can federate (and be boosted to e.g. Mastodon) and be commented, but you are able to turn off the comments.

    Individual account can only be followed from Friendica, but not from Mastodon.

    For more features you want to create a group. A group can be followed from Friendica and Mastodon, but only Mobilizon accounts can become its members. Group members are able to participate in discussions (not visible from outside), manage a "common resource folder" - links, make group events and group announcements

    You can experiment with Mobilizon features with a demo instance

    Jump

  • There is already a Meetup alternative - Mobilizon

    Jump

  • Friendica provides blogging, microblogging, pictures, friend circles (but they work only for Friendica users), and multiple identities managed by single login.

    And there is a fediverse marketplace software - Flohmarkt - instances

    • I just found an old post from reddit of a guy who suggested people to come here in another post saying he was wrong about lemmy and the lemmy devs are bad ?

    Jump

  • The newer ones are:

    • PSA: You can block instances in your settings (last tab) if your instance is running version 0.19.X

    Jump

    • PSA: You can block instances in your settings (last tab) if your instance is running version 0.19.X

    Jump

  • Already available on /kbin.
    (but no instance blocking on our side)

    • What Meta’s Fediverse Plans Mean for Threads Users

    Jump

  • For example, Threads supports audio posts, a feature not currently supported within ActivityPub(...)

    Laughs in Funkwhale, Castopod, and even any ActivityPub platform implementing an Audio object type

    Wired checked no Meta claim against reality.

    • The a.gup.pe Mastodon groups now federate into Lemmy

    Jump

  • Lemmy joins /kbin and mbin, which already were able to interact with Guppe groups
