Vivaldi is hosting a community talk about the Fediverse.
Attached: 1 image If you’ve been following us, you’ll know that we’re big on the Fediverse. It was incredibly important for us to create an instance and provide everyone with a social network free of ads and algorithms. Join us live this Saturday as we talk about why it was important for us to do...
Vivaldi (the web browser) is hosting a community talk together with AllThingsTech about "Why does being on the Fediverse matter to us?". You can listen along to it via. https://audon.space/u/@[email protected].
They start on the 25th of May, 13:00 EDT / 17:00 UTC.
We've reached 100 members! (113 to be more exact)
Bookwyrm.world has hit over 100 members! Additionally, the instance ranks 11th among bookwyrm instances based on the MAU (Monthly Active Users), which I would say is pretty good!
I hope that we'll see the next user milestone as soon as possible! If you have questions about bookwyrm or about the bookwyrm.world instance, then either ask it in the comments, in a lemmy dm, a mastodon dm to me or the bookwyrm.world mastodon account or via mail at [email protected].
Bookwyrm.world has updated to 0.7.3
We've successfully updated to version 0.7.3 of bookwyrm. Before the update, we created a backup to ensure that we don't lose too much in case anything goes wrong. We'll update you if we come across any problems, and if you come across any problems, then contact us by mail via. [email protected] ASAP!
Have a continued good time reading! 📖🐉
I think there is one on f-drpid. But using the website as is works great on mobile aswell.
New logo for socials and website!
I thank @[email protected] / @[email protected] for this amazing new logo and banner for the socials!
Yeah. It is kinda "lacking" in the terms of reviews. But for each goodreads people that join, the more reviews and books we get, as you can import your goodreads library. And knowing the fediverse, it won't be that long, I hope ;P
Lol, yeah. It can be a little lacking for now, but knowing the fediverse, it won't be long until it also gets populated!
Lol yeah. Would be nice. But I'll bet ya we'll make an instance for it whenever it gets made :P
Bookwyrm is specifically made for booksharing and book reviewing. While lemmy is more general. For instance, this is a link to the "a game of thrones book" https://bookwyrm.world/book/8138/s/a-game-of-thrones. Here you have reviews of the book. You can also add that book to your "to read" list aswell.
The fediverse Goodreads alternative: Bookwyrm
If you are interested in sharing book recommendations with other, or just manage your books, then bookwyrm is great for that! The .world team also has a bookwyrm instance up and running at bookwyrm.world with a community here on lemmy as well at [email protected]. Read Ruuds original post about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/5904792
If you want to join another bookwyrm instance, then head over to joinbookwyrm.com.
Anyway, it's a great place to find books, share books, and find people with similar interests in books! If there is anything that you feel needs to be improved or changed on the bookwyrm.world instance, then contact me!
EDIT - Mastodon account for the instance: @[email protected]
You should become a member!
Becoming a member would support this amazing dev. 1$ a month is enough if enough people become a member. Go support this person as much as possible! You are doing gods work Xylight!
Great job guys and other contributors 😉👏
I agree with you on that 😉
Oh sorry, didn't see that 😅
much in the same vein as lemmy-status.org
I was also thinking that an opt-in or something similar would be nice. As overloading small project raspberries with a large monitoring website wouldn't be that nice...
There does exist something similar to this: https://lemmy-status.org. It will eventually have an automatic list, but it is not implemented yet. They are currently adding instances in manually. The owner is @[email protected], one of our infra people at lemmy.world. The website is not connected to lemmy.world by any means btw.
No problem!
Bots that want to be here on Lemmy.World has to follow some bot-rules. This was to avoid most of the Reddit reporters and general spammy bots. Here is a list of bots that i know of: (I am not pinging the bots, as that will most likely activate them and make them answer me in some way)
And that's about it actually, as far as I know 😅
Hey there! Thank you for bringing this up! As the user @[email protected] says, the normal route for community "takeover" is to report them to us, and ask for the community that you want. I also see that you didn't want any of the communities, but thanks for reporting it! I've just now taken this up with the internal admin team :)
Thank you! We all appriciate your work!
Awesome!
Rules of Use for Bots
As we see more and more bots on Lemmy World every day, it’s about time we publish a set of rules for bots and bot-owners.
So here goes:
These rules will be updated when needed.
So you mean like subscribing to the entire instance of lemmy.ml and only having lemmy.ml in your subscription list and not the induvidual communities? If so, no, you can't do that. But you can browse using the all button at the top of the page next to local to view all posts that is from federated instances :)
No Instagram Threads app in the EU: Irish DPC says Meta's new Twitter rival won't be launched here.
Meta will not launch its new Twitter rival, Threads, in Ireland or the EU for the foreseeable future.

Fedidb.org recommends to use active users stats instead of total users stats.
Fedidb.org recommends people who view their statistics on their “Threadiverse” tracking page that people should not use graphs and numbers from the total users due to the surge of bot-accounts, and should instead use the monthly active users. This puts the “Threadiverse” at 87,089. Lemmy with 37,197 and Kbin at 44,136. Fedidb.org also shows that the number of accounts is now at 1,75 million, though most of these accounts are probably just bots.
Opening instance/community/post links.
I don't know if this is a feature or not, but if it is, it's not working for me. When opening a link that refers to a post or community it opens an in-buildt browser inside of the app, instead of ridercting me inside of the app itself. It's a real pain when openig lemmy links and having to switch to a browser every time.
If this isn't a feature, is it planned?
