DontMindMe, to random Hashtags are important in the #fediverse, for both following and muting, but people don't seem to be using them as much as they could, even the obvious ones. That's understandable. Remembering and typing them can get tedious.
So, a little #feditip : instead of typing #hashtags de novo each time, keep a running collection of ones you use in a document. That way, you can copy many hashtags, paste, and delete any irrelevant ones.
I keep mine in an email draft, grouped by category. #feditips
Chozo, to fediverse I feel like the reason #Mastodon, and the #Fediverse at large, aren't taking off has to do with the fact that they're actually social networks. People don't seem to want a social network, they want content platforms. People aren't using #Twitter or #Threads or #TikTok to keep up with their friends these days, they're using these apps to entertain themselves. And since #Facebook and every other platform that used to be a social network began pivoting toward content promotion, I think society has forgotten what a social network is supposed to actually be anymore.
(E: Grammar.)
ernest, to kbinMeta Hi, in this and probably the next week, I will be working on these tasks:

- https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/815
- https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/132
- https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/823
- https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/817
- https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/785
- https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/798
- Change magazine ownership (ongoing)
- Delete / purge magazine
- Delete user fix (ongoing)
- Delete all user posts from magazine (ongoing)
- Mod magazine panel view
- Logout bug fix
- Reports view improvements (ongoing)
- Admin guide (create instance instructions)
- Transfer test enviroments
- First release
- Answers to overdue questions, messages, mails...
Today, I will be slightly less available as I am in the final stages of taking care of all the formalities, and I also had to handle a few personal matters. Starting tomorrow, I will be back at full capacity again. When this succeeds, in the next releases, I will focus more on frontend and accessibility.
sickmatter, to fedia So does Fedia have a relay connection to the same sources as infosec.exchange?
sickmatter, Probably. The other sites in the Jerryverse seem to support it.
fancysandwiches, to fedia Is there a way to hide all of the random stuff on the sidebar? I find it very distracting, and so far not a single thing has been to my interests. I'd prefer to just not see it. I searched around for a setting, and I did a search on Google and DuckDuckGo but found nothing useful.
FlockOfCats, to random I feel a lot more comfortable with the developer of kbin (@ernest) than the Lemmy devs.
Here, he messed up by not giving attribution for some code, but the transparency and remedy of the error are appreciated.
It’s nice to see something that builds trust as opposed to burning it down like at #Reddit
sickmatter, to fedia Oh my god, images work now! 🫶🏼
sickmatter, Oh my god the site works too!
sab, to kbinMeta I'm curious - what's the difference between magazines and users when linked to the greater fediverse?
It seems like the link to both would be
@name@kbin.social
. If somebody creates a user named news, it would therefore be found at@news@kbin.social
- which is where the news magazine is found.Don't these collide? How do we distinguish between the two?
I'm sorry if the answer is obvious somehow. :)
Facni, @sab Actually, that's the idea, Lemmy and Matrix use a ! before the URL to name communities/rooms for example https://lemmy.world/c/technology but Mastodon doesn't support it and they are the biggest platform so they don't have any plan to do it, Kbin's solution was to use the same logic for users than for magazines. If you access a magazine from Mastodon you will see that it works as a user. Many people think that Lemmy is the only one who resists Mastodon's bad practices.
grindhold, to random say, #fediverse, is peertube the only #activitypub based software that supports instance←→instance federation? i struggle with my peertube setup and would like to give another software a try. which softwares support instance-following as well? #followerpower
jonah, @grindhold @hexmasteen it’s the only one I know of off hand, because PeerTube creates a fake “peertube” user which other AP instances can follow for the full feed. For example, you could even instance follow my PeerTube instance from Mastodon, by following @peertube. Most other AP implementations rely on relays instead of this psuedo-user approach, which both instance operators have to opt in to.
ada, to random The more I use different #fediverse apps, the more I feel that we are on the edge of a different future, in the early stages of something that we haven't seen before.
In the last few months, I've used #Mastodon, #Misskey, #Calckey, #Funkwhale, #lemmy, #Peertube, #Bookwyrm and #Pixelfed. Soon, I'm going to try an install of #kbin. In the not too distant future, we will see #GreatApe bringing more options for video chat to the Fediverse. There are countless more platforms that I haven't had a chance to try.
The network formed by the interconnections between those apps is the Fediverse; a Federated Universe. Federated, because everything out there is connected with everything else, in one giant network. What I am truly beginning to appreciate is just how real that vision is, and just how disruptive to our future it's going to be. More than a truism, these the fediverse platforms really will allow us to see and interact with nearly anything else out there.
The platform we use no longer determines the information we can access; it doesn't build walls around us. Instead, what out choice of platform determines, is how we interact with information, rather than determining what information we are able interact with in the first place. The walls in the walled garden haven't so much been torn down, as simply never built.
I can write a blog post, and someone on Mastodon can reply to it. I can make a group post on lemmy, and someone from Calckey can reply to it. I can see an awesome photo on Pixelfed, bring it in to #Akkoma and boost it for everyone else to see. And then anyone who sees it can interact with it.
The cross platform interactions are still imperfect. Standards are still being developed, code is still being written and features are still being defined, but the future is right here, we are on the cusp of something new and amazing.
Of course, this is all old news to someone who has been part of the fediverse for years now, but it feels different now. The momentum is here, we are seeing a shift and I think once we cross that precipice, once we have normalised the cross channel interactions we are starting to develop, it's going to be very hard to go back.
Honestly, I can't wait.

feditips, to random The Fediverse is more than just Mastodon! :fediverse:
If you like to share photos you might want to check out @pixelfed, an Instagram-style photo sharing network on the Fediverse.
You can find out more and sign up at:
PixelFed uses the same federation protocol as Mastodon, which means Mastodon users can follow people on PixelFed and vice versa. You can try following a PixelFed account right now such as @Iancylkowski or @JoseMel or @connyduck
You can use PixelFed through a web browser, and there are also free open Android apps like @PixelDroid and FediLab (@apps).
feditips, If you love books, the best part of the Fediverse is probably @bookwyrm, a GoodReads-style social reading network.
More info and sites to sign up on are at:
Because it uses the same ActivityPub protocol that powers the rest of the Fediverse, you can follow BookWyrm accounts from Mastodon etc.
For example, the lead developer of BookWyrm has an account at @mouse
