  • Basically, Lemmy communities and Kbin magazines are federated as groups to the micro and macroblogging fediverse. People in friendica, mastodon or Firefish can interact with Lemmy and kbin by mentioning a community/magazine in their posts and following them the way they do with other types of federated groups (like guppe, chirp, friendica forums, etc)

    Pixelfed didn’t have federates group support, meaning that its federation with the threadiverse was bad, not to say practically non-existent. Supporting federated groups and even having its own type of group will allow people on pixelfed to interact with Lemmy and Kbin the way other fediverse software do: following them and tagging the community/magazine handle in posts.

    short summary: It means better federation between Pixelfed, and Lemmy and Kbin.


  • What they don’t seem to understand is that in the fediverse it’s them who are responsible for curating their own experience, there’s no big content algorithm doing it for them here.

    It’s their job to join communities they may like and then set their main page to “subscribed”. They don’t have to keep it set in “ALL” if they don’t want to see content from all the servers their server federates with/isn’t defederated from.

    Lemmy and kbin may be discussion platforms/link aggregators, but they aren’t reddit.


  • But I feel like if I try to clarify and really understand I may end up offending someone

    Who would you be offending by admitting you were wrong in thinking OP was wrongly moderated?

    OP knew what they were doing. They got rightfully suspended for transphobia and now they are crying about overzealous moderation and censorship, like all the bigots do.

    Not only did they used an slur, but OP’s “joke” is based around a transmisogynistic stereotype.

    Next time you want to post about someone being “wrongly moderated”, ask people from the community affected if they feel the comment was truly offensive or not, and if it deserves any kind of moderation.






  • Recommending profiles to follow is already part of the onboarding process, and is not in any way equivalent to “pushing profiles for you to see”.

    So, if its already possible. What would your freemium features add?

    There is no “TOS” for the fediverse software.

    Each software has, in fact, its rules/terms. Peertube, for example, is explicitly non-profit.

    Look, I really tried to keep an open mind about this conversation, but now you are distorting the truth and I can’t tell if it’s for ignorance or dishonesty. I think it’s time to end it. Have a nice one.

    To me what you are doing trying to monetise something that is completely free of charge, while pretending you are doing it to promote the fediverse, “making it mainstream” (the last thing the hardcore fedizens want), IS dishonest. So I guess we are even.


  • You do know you can’t make money out of any fediverse software, don’t you? You can make money on the fediverse, like artists and professionals do, but you can’t make money out of it.

    From mastodon main page:

    We respect your agency. Your feed is curated and created by you. We will never serve ads or push profiles for you to see.

    This goes in contradiction with an option on one of your polls:

    Better recommendations on who to follow

    Other than accounts that suggest you people to follow on the fediverse, there’s no algorithm that recommends you accounts to follow or content to see. In fact, this very thing would go against the TOS of Mastodon, Peertube, and other fediverse software

    You could make your own software that offers those things and give users the posibility/ability to federate, but you cannot legally add premium features or recommendation algorithms to already existing fediverse software or any fork of it.


  • If you go take a look at my first blog post about communick, you would see that the last thing I want to have is a “Corporation” in the Fediverse, but instead I want to have it strong and attractive enough for small, independent service providers

    No. What you want is to make money out of decentralised social media.

    Not every business is a “corporation”. Not every professional that provides a service for money is a rent-seeker

    People offering their services and talent for money already exist on the fediverse.

    The fact that there are “business coming to the fediverse” does not mean that they can only operate on the same (failed) business models from Big Tech.

    Funny. Because in the polls you asked a question about features someone would be interested in pay for. Some of which are characteristical of corporate social media…






  • All platforms on the fediverse interact because they are part of the same protocol, ActivityPub. (While there are more federated and decentralised protocols, “Fediverse” refers to ActivityPub based social network)

    Other federated and/or decentralised platforms have other protocols, for example Diaspora* which has its own protocol, also supported by Hubzilla (which main protocol is Zot and also supports AP), Friendica (also AP and Ostatus) and SocialHome. Or Ostatus (GNU Social, Pleroma (also AP), and Matrix (Matrix)

    A social media can interact with other social media that share the same protocol.

    so Friendica can interact with Diaspora, Lemmy and GNU social, because it supports Diapora*, AP and OStatus, but the other three, being mono-protocol cannot interact with each other.


  • No federated alternative as of yet. It’s one of the platform types that the fediverse is lacking.

    Dreamwidth (which is not a platform to host fanfiction, but rather to discuss it, share recs, etc) has had federation proposals, but nothing has come out of them.

    WriteFreely is in the fediverse, but it’s more of a blog platform the style of blogger, wordpress, or medium.



  • I haven’t tried any of the macroblogging platforms, but I plan to. For what I’ve read Hubzilla has a feature call Nomadic Identity that, while it makes server migration easier, creates problems with federation, but nothing too severe as to render it unusable.

    It just that, because it’s a Zot feature, when you go from a clone to another, your contacts from platforms other than Hubzilla (or anything based on Zot are lost), but If you don’t care much about that, it’s a great feature because it means that you can keep using the platform even if your home server is offline
