Fediverse

Is there an easy way to share a lemmy thread in a way that's instance-agnostic (they can view it on their instance even if it's different from mine) ?

Similarly, any way to quickly switch to viewing a linked post on my instance if it's linked through another?

He's already banned from my instance but that is a scam and not the fediverse chick one. I feel so in right now.

So far I tested deepseek r1:7b and llama3.2 post on the fediverse and on detecting AI content (I have no shortage of AI content). Seems like llama3.2 takes preforms worse at detecting AI content compared to deepseek but works quicker. I'm not working with any graphics cards. Deepseek model be really good at generating replies with the right prompt, but it does take several minutes to run. No one has said anything about AI text I submitted other than reply I made to the wrong person and people are even sharing and liking the AI produced text

An important step toward a more interoperable “fediverse” — the broader network of decentralized social media apps like Mastodon, Bluesky and others — has been achieved. Now users on decentralized apps like Mastodon, powered by the ActivityPub protocol, and those powered by Bluesky’s AT Protocol, can easily follow people on other networks, see their posts, and like, reply and repost them.

Those same people will be able to see the others’ posts in return, too.

The technology making this possible is Bridgy Fed, one of the efforts aimed at connecting the fediverse with the web, Bluesky and, perhaps later, other networks like Nostr.

Since the 2022 sale of Twitter to Elon Musk, who rebranded the app X, there’s been a surge of interest in decentralized social media. Apps like Mastodon gained a following in the wake of Twitter’s new ownership, as users explored what a network without a centralized authority may look like. Meanwhile, Bluesky — a startup originally incubated within Twitter — raised a seed round and grew its network to over 5.7 million users after launching publicly earlier this year.

Other decentralized social media networks are finding footing of their own, too, like the blockchain-based Farcaster, which just last month closed on $150 million in funding from Paradigm, a16z crypto, Haun Ventures, USV and others.

There’s just one problem these networks face in gaining traction against a rival like X or Meta’s Threads: Their users couldn’t talk to each other.

Though both Mastodon and Bluesky are decentralized social media efforts, they rely on different underlying protocols. That means a Mastodon user can interact with others who post elsewhere on the fediverse — that is, other apps that use the older ActivityPub social networking protocol. But they couldn’t interact with people who posted on Bluesky, because it uses the newer AT Protocol to operate.

Software developer Ryan Barrett has been working to address this problem with Bridgy Fed, a social networking bridge that would connect fediverse users to those on Bluesky and vice versa.

Since I suggested that I'm willing to hook my computer to an LLM model and to a mastodon account, I've gotten vocal anti AI sentiments. Im wondering if fediverse has made a plug in to find bots larping as people, as of now I haven't made the bot and I won't disclose when I do make the bot.

is there a federated platform similar to 4chan ie. topic boards with ephemeral linear message threads? i dunno how else to describe it but I like the 4chan format, it's just got the worst people in the world on there (which I figure could be mitigated by the federated server type thing)

Announcing the Blorp Mac App Preview – Available to Test Now!

Blorp is at a stage where there's still plenty of work to do, but I’m ready to start gathering feedback. The main areas that need improvement are enhancing the post creation experience and adding the ability to sign up directly through Blorp.

That said, Blorp is already very usable. I’ve chosen to launch the Mac app first because, among all the Lemmy clients, the desktop space is the least saturated. I’m starting with Mac since that’s where I’ve done all my testing, but the plan is to expand to Linux and Windows as well.

I’d love for you to download Blorp for Mac! If you’re not ready to install it yet, or you're not on a mac but still want to check it out, you can use the web version at blorpblorp.xyz.

Did I mention, Blorp is open source? You can read all the code on our GitHub.

Other platforms coming soon:

• iOS
• Android
• Linux
• Windows

Finally people will no longer be confused with this Lemmy community and accidentally post here.

Google shows my a map of instances (EUR, USA, NZ etc) but I am searching who is federated (and not) with who?

Disclaimer: New to lemmy and still figuring it out. Sorry if I did everything wrong, please be gentle.

Does anyone have any recommendations for an email app that doesn't data mine or whatever. I'm in the process of transitioning to the fediverse and purging shitty, morally dubious companies from my life. Currently weening off Google. I have a duckduckgo email relay, but I want to get Google completely off my phone.

For example, let’s say I wanted to start a community around some topic, but I felt that lemmy.dbzer0.com was better suited for it than slrpnk.net. But I want to keep my account on slrpnk.net as the account that moderates the community. Is that possible?

Does anyone know if I can download a lemmy post, including all of its replies as a PDF or similar easy-to-read file?

Thanks!

I was pleasantly surprised to find that flohmarkt has a fedidb page as it is a new project with only a few instances in Europe.

Though the instances are not listed yet.

I’m hosting a photo walk through some of my favorite graffiti and mural filled alleys in SF’s Mission District and any Fediverse folks are invited. We’ll meet up at 24th and Valencia at 2pm on March 1st and hit up some of my favorite #SFGraffiti and street art around the area. I’m using #PixelWalk as the hashtag to organize and would love if you can help spread the word.

or it's just instance-specific, ie, one could just ban the instance personally
