Social magazine app Flipboard had already committed to joining the "fediverse" -- the decentralized social web, which includes apps like Mastodon. Now, it’s doubling down on those ambitions with an announcement that it will stop tweeting while also launching a new podcast devoted to exploring the topic of decentralized social...

As the volcano in Iceland threatens to erupt any minute now, some social media users are falsely claiming the fumes from the natural disaster will generate more CO2 than all of the cars and airplanes on earth. #TheCube

For me personally this feels very wrong. What do you think about that?

ive never quite enjoyed the term fediverse. i realized recently ive been utilizing 'fediverse' and 'federation' interchangeably to the point i made a thing, and didnt notice until after i posted it...

On desktop kbin is 5x better than vanilla lemmy....

Some thoughts about using the Microblog functionality in kbin and why, controversially, I think it might actually beat Mastodon at it's own game - browsing toots....

Whenever you use this format...

Everyone who’s into the fediverse concept should read this article.

more tests of federation

Framasoft starts talking about the upcoming features for PeerTube, as well as next year's plans. German newspaper Zeit interviews Eugen Rochko. Fediverse safety.

Whenever I try to view the threads page of newcommunities@lemmy.world (i.e., https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world), I get an error. It's only kbin.social where this happens, and it's only the threads page of this specific community. I can view the microblogs, the people, and even individual threads, but the threads...

performance issues on the *keys seemingly never stop

A small thing here. The option for users to individually choose to subscribe to specific threads to get notifications for new posts. I often see threads of curiosity to me, that I personally have nothing to say in that moment, but might want to see what others say.

Hi all,...

Titmouse, Inc. is, of course, the animation studio that produces “Lower Decks”.

So to my immense joy, Hexbear has started appearing on the front page again. Instance blocking is not available, and even the regular block feature sometimes fails (on certain communities?) for no clear reason. I've already tried blocking their "DuNk tAnK" and politics sub, it errors in a way that doesn't seem to happen...
