Pixelfed introduces Loops, a Short-Form Video App (wedistribute.org)
Short-form video might in fact be the next frontier for federated media. The dev behind a popular photo-sharing platform is diving in headfirst.
Can KBin not like, freak out at any turn when surfing on it? (kbin.social)
I forced myself to go back a little to Reddit recently. Because while I endorse and love the existence of the Fediverse, I can't in good conscience, tolerate the instability of it. Any other time I go somewhere, I'm met with a page that says KBin is working on resolving issues, then I go somewhere else and it's fine....
/kbin quick March update (kbin.social)
I'm slowly catching up with backlog tasks and cleaning up instances, but there's still quite a bit to do. Day by day, I'm managing to work longer hours, but I still need some time to ramp up the intensity of work. Just wanted to let you know that there might be brief downtimes in instance operation over the weekend. I aim to...

A magazine to help moderators moderate (kbin.social)
I thought of creating this magazine to help myself and potentially others, to see how moderating works in practice in kbin. If you feel like becoming a mod but hesitate, you can become one in the following magazine and try out the available features yourself:...

/kbin March update (kbin.social)
I'm feeling a bit better. Starting today, I'll be returning to work as much as possible. This week will likely be spent catching up on tasks, replying to emails, reading overdue comments, etc. I also need to work with Piotr on instance infrastructure. I'll be more actively handling spam as well, but it's clear that we need...

Why do some animals have 'virgin births'? (worldnews.infoterkiniviral.com)
Some animals, particularly certain species of reptiles, fish, and insects, are capable of reproducing through a process known as parthenogenesis, commonly referred to as "virgin birth." In parthenogenesis, females can produce offspring without mating with a male. Instead, the female's egg develops into an embryo without...
Fedia maintenance is complete (fedia.io)
Fedia.io is now running on it's own stand-alone server. This server is costing me $210/month, so any contributions are welcome. Please let me know of any issues.
I am extremely grateful to everybody involved with Lemmy. That includes you!

PHP Weekly - March 6th 2024 (mailchi.mp)
Fedia.io Downtime Saturday, March 9 (fedia.io)
I am going to be rehoming fedia.io to a new server. Today, fedia.io runs on shared app server and shared database server. I will be moving fedia.io to a dedicated 48 core/96 thread AMD epyc server with 256GB of RAM, which will house both the app and the database. This is less about fedia.io and more about the other apps running...

TOTP 2FA Issues
Salutations. After lurking around and reading posts for a few weeks, I have just created an account on this instance. Mostly, the experience has been good, but I am having one major issue: Shaka when the walls fell with two-factor authentication. When I press the button in my account settings, I receive the error...
Ernest needs to quickly delegate or this instance will quickly die (kbin.social)
I appreciate that earnest made a post yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, saying that he is not dead and hasn't given up on kbin. It's not on this magazine, so I'm not sure where it was since this seems to be the most appropriate one, but in any case....
Why might magazines from other instances be incomplete? (kbin.social)
There's a warning at the top, but I'm curious as to the "why". The comments that may or may not be visible seem to be a roll of the dice as well. If I respond to someone in a comment, I have no idea if they can see it.
How can mbin/kbin users subscribe or even just reach a lemmy community? (fedia.io)

Lemmy's Image Problem (wedistribute.org)
The popular Reddit alternative's user count has grown a lot over the past year. One problem, though: users and admins can't delete images.
