Welcome to the Fediverse!

German public radio and television (SWR) just published a whitepaper about the fediverse: "Chancen des Fediverse für Journalismus" in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

It wasn't intentional. One of the authors wrote on Mastodon that there's "something wrong with the text layers" and the Media Lab is working on it.

It seems like they outsourced the pdf creation to someone who doesn't know how to properly create pdf's or the wrong version got published, which I'm suspecting because the title of the pdf is "layout draft 2024-12-16".

About decentralised storage of fediverse data. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

PeerTube is using Webtorrent to distribute the load to all viewers that currently watch the video. And if you host a PeerTube instance you can manually mirror videos on your instance that are hosted on other PeerTube instances.

Holos are building something where the data is stored on your phone instead of the server.

You can schedule posts on PieFed.

There well never be a federated Youtube for instance. Think about that the storage that Google uses since videos are not really deleted, and the bandwidth to server that much video.

Until there is. Someday someone will create a PeerTube plugin or some other piece of software that will tackle this. I'm thinking distributed storage, automatic mirroring to other instances when more bandwidth is needed for a popular video, voluntary storage donation from clients (got 10GB of expendable storage on your device? Donate it to the network), or something I can't even think of. There are so many possibilities in this space. I won't accept that it'll never be possible.

Thanks for sharing. This had a similar vibe like The Darknet Diaries. The beats in between were slapping.

I don't know why they would use AI to setup a managed Mastodon host, I think it complicated things way more than doing it manually.

Coywolf Podcast Episode 15: Interview with Mastodon creator Eugen Rochko (coywolf.com)
 

Jon Henshaw interviews Mastodon creator Eugen Rochko about how he got started in software development, what led him to create Mastodon, why Threads interoperability with Mastodon fell flat, what it'll take to get people to switch to the fediverse, why he views Mastodon as a network and not a media platform, and why Mastodon chose ActivityPub.

Is posting from #Mastodon to a #Lemmy community a good idea or will this just confuse everyone? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi 10 points 3 weeks ago

I like it if the tagged community suits the purpose and the community's rules are being followed. Love seeing conversations across different fediverse softwares. Hi from PieFed btw :)

Wondering if running a single user Lemmy is an overkill in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi 22 points 3 weeks ago

I run a single user PieFed instance for a month now. Compatible with Lemmy. Everything runs smooth so far.

What's the etiquette for posting #mastodon or other federated posts on some of the other reddit-analogues? From what I see you can just mention a #piefed or #lemmy group in a post and it will create a in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] squirrel@piefed.kobel.fyi 8 points 4 weeks ago

I like seeing posts from Mastodon and other microblogs over here. Just keep the first line clean, it's the post title on the threadiverse.

I've started posting on PieFed lately, and with the ability to set hashtags for my posts, I'm already seeing more comments from Mastodon than when I posted from Lemmy before.

Love federation between different services.

Please Don’t Be a Lurker! (piefed.kobel.fyi)
 

In the monthly server updates for lemmy.zip/piefed.zip there's a mantra that's repeated every month. I think it's wonderful and can be applied to the Fediverse as a whole.

If you’re new here - WELCOME! I hope you’re enjoying your time here :)

Just one small teeny-tiny request. The greatest gift you can give the Fediverse (Original: Lemmy.zip and Piefed.zip) isn’t money, praise, or interpretive dance (although we would absolutely accept the last one). Its participation.

Upvote the things you like. Start a discussion, debate, or ponder about whether water is wet or merely makes things wet. Make new communities if you don’t see one that fits your oddly specific niche obsession.
(We don’t judge. Well, we try not to judge anyway.)

The fediverse naturally ebbs and flows, tides of people come and go. But if you’ve found yourself oddly attached to this strange little corner of the internet? Wonderful. Help it breathe. Help it grow. Help it be just a tiny bit weirder in the best possible way.

So if you’ve gone to the effort of clicking Sign Up and proving you’re not a robot (unless you are, in which case hello and welcome to our new AI overlords), then please, I beg of you:

Stick around. Add your voice. It really does make this place better.

Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (codeberg.org)
 

A Fediverse Enhancement Proposal (FEP) is a document that provides information to the Fediverse community. The goal of a FEP is to improve interoperability and well-being of diverse services, applications and communities that form the Fediverse.

The FEP Process is an initiative of the SocialHub developer community, a liaison of the W3C Social Web Incubator Community Group.

Discovered this today. If you're on the developer side of things or are interested in how the Fediverse / ActivityPub is being built and enhanced, take a look at this codeberg repo.
