We're happy to announce the release of NodeBB v4.3.0, which contains native support for remote categories, bringing better integration with other NodeBB forums, WordPress, Lemmy, PieFed, mbin, and other "group-based" implementors on the ActivityPub network!

Welcome Fedi Friends to the episode 10 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.

I'm very EXCITED about my guest today. I'm so excited I took a shower, shaved my head and face, wore my BEST t-shirt and shorts, and I even brushed my teeth! TO be fair I do all those things daily and I was out doing yard work earlier and needed a shower, BUT if I hadn't, I still would have done it for my guest!

With me today is Dansup! Dansup is "just a guy from canada building things for the fediverse". No one big. You probably don't even know him ... oh wait ... I'm being told he's made a few things and that he's "an aspiring astronaut, community creator and determined dreamer. - Currently building Pixelfed.org, an ethical and federated photo sharing platform powered by ActivityPub.."

This post is "FYI only" for blahaj lemmy members. It is not a debate, and is not intended for non blahaj lemmy users to weigh in and offer opinions.

I recently received reports of a feddit.uk user espousing transphobia. Specifically, this was a feddit.uk user refusing to use the word cis, repeating the "adult human female" dog whistle, and claiming that trans women are not women. I approached a member of the feddit.uk admin team and raised my concerns and sought clarification of their stance on posts like this, where the transphobia is mostly dogwhistles, and "civil disagreement" on the validity of trans folk.

I was told by the feddit.uk admin that their preferred response is this kind of transphobia is to "sort it out through discussion and voting". However, the comments in question are currently more upvoted than downvoted, and little "sorting out" has occurred. The posts remain in place.

Hi,

I would like to compare our moderation options in the various software of the fediverse. But i can't achieve it alone, so i need admins and moderators help.

Can you list all admin and moderation option for each software in comment ? So, later we can do a nice table that will show us what the fediverse is missing :3

And let's share about what feature do you miss ? How do you desescalate ? Do you try to explain to users ?

🧮 Decentralization Scoring System (v1.2)

This scoring system evaluates how decentralized and self-hostable a platform is, based on four core metrics.

A page dedicated to the Nomadic(portable) identity in the Fediverse. If you are on Mbin/Friendica/Mastodon or other software that allows you to follow users you can follow the official @nomad account for updates

It is not really a fediverse feature but i enjoyed a lot discovering it. :)

One advantage of nomadic identity is that it is probably the best existing way of moving your identity from one server to another. Unlike projects based on ActivityPub, it doesn't create a dumb copy or partial copy of your account on another server and leave the original behind as a usually dead account. It actually moves the content without leaving anything behind, and it moves all the content.

So let's suppose alice@foo.social wants to move to bar.social. The process goes like this:

• Create a new account on bar.social (unless Alice already has one there).
• Upload the whole alice@foo.social channel to the new account on bar.social. This can be done either by having bar.social download it from foo.social or by manually downloading the channel from foo.social to a file and then manually uploading this file to bar.social; the latter has been experienced to be more reliable.
• Change th

When a community needs to move to another instance, it can be a rocky process.

It doesn't need to be, though - as long as someone on your instance has been a part of the community for a while your instance will already have quite a lot of the content from the old community. All we need to do is change our record of which instance the community belongs to and that's what PieFed's new 'Move community' feature does. Check out the video for a quick demo.

The full process is:

1. Ensure the copy of the community on this instance has been active long enough to receive a decent amount of posts. The move process will not copy posts so having an account on this instance subscribed to it for a while is the only way to get old posts here.
2. Lock the old community to by setting it to 'moderators only' so no one else can post in it.
3. Create a post in the old community announcing the impending move to piefed.social. Paste the url of that post into the field below.

As part of OurBlind's continued efforts to provide accessible online spaces for the blind and visually impaired community, we've developed custom themes for Lemmy, to use on our Lemmy instance on Rblind, and to make available for others, in keeping with the themes' license terms and the spirit of free and open source software.

If you're reading this on www.rblind.com and are not signed in, you're using RBlind-Dark. We hope you're enjoying it! If you log in, you can switch to RBlind-Light. Once logged in, go to your username, then Settings and, use the Themes dropdown to make your selection: we suggest RBlind-Dark or RBlind-Light at the end of the list.

Why these themes matter to us

We started this Lemmy instance back in 2023, prompted by the Reddit API protests. Reddit Inc., the company that controls the website our community r/Blind is on, had announced policy changes that made t

GoToSocial

If you've ever used something like Twitter or Tumblr (or even Myspace!) GoToSocial will probably feel familiar to you.

You can follow people and have followers, you make posts which people can favourite and reply to and share, and you scroll through posts from people you follow using a timeline.

You can write long posts or short posts, or just post images, it's up to you.

You can also, of course, block people or otherwise limit interactions that you don't want by posting just to your friends.

Mastodon & GoToSocial

Mastodon is great! If you want a full-featured ActivityPub microblogging server with all the bells and whistles, go use that instead :)

GoToSocial's niche is small or single-user instances running on low-powered devices, like single-board computers or old laptops repurposed as home servers.

A thorough review of trials, tribulations, and tests to bridge the gap from publishing online to federated social networking.

So, you're captivated by the fediverse—the decentralized social web powered by protocols like ActivityPub. Maybe you're dreaming of building the next great federated app, a unique space connected to Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed, and more. The temptation to dive deep and implement ActivityPub yourself, from the ground up, is strong. Total control, right? Understanding every byte? Sounds cool!

But hold on a sec. Before you embark on that epic quest, let's talk reality. Implementing ActivityPub correctly isn't just one task; it's like juggling several complex standards while riding a unicycle… blindfolded. It’s hard.

That's where Fedify comes in. It's a TypeScript framework designed to handle the gnarliest parts of ActivityPub development, letting you focus on what makes your app special, not reinventing the federation wheel.

This post will break down the common headaches of DIY ActivityPub implementation and show how Fedify acts as the super-powered pain reliever, starting wi
