Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Script idea to discover underappreciated Lemmy instances
9·19 days agoNowadays I just recommend Piefed.zip.
If someone wants a regional instance they usually figure it out by themselves, also the Piefed instance chooser can help and has a latency indicator: https://piefed.social/post/1337079
For the nationale behind, here’s a list from a post on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com that’s a few months old https://lemmy.zip/c/fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com?dataType=Post&pageCursor=P2d1f586&sort=NewComments
- Lemmy.world is too big
- sh.itjust.works names contains “shit”, which can deter users
- lemmy.ca is Canadian-centric
- feddit.org, is German-centric, but technically English speaking too
- dbzer0 is focus centric
- programming.dev is topic-centric
- blahaj is queer-focused
- discuss.tchncs.de has a difficult name
- lemmy.sdf.org does not defederate anyone
- beehaw defederates LW and SJW
- infosec.pub is topic-centric
- aussie.zone is country-centric
- midwest.social is region-centric and admin can power trip at times (https://sopuli.xyz/post/20038037)

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Why doesn't the Fediverse have a "one sign-in" like NOSTR?

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•Talk about choosing "a community", not "a server"

Community Promo@lemmy.ca•I just made a community for Drawtober
3·1 month agoGood luck, but creating a community is much more difficult than reusing an existing one.
Maybe try to reach out to @sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works to see if they would consider lowering the rules?

Community Promo@lemmy.ca•I just made a community for Drawtober
3·1 month agoI raised the issue to @wjs018@piefed.social a few days ago, he’s going to work on this so that Piefed parses the links created by Lemmy autocompletion correctly
It is indeed not ideal that Lemmy autocompletion generates improper links, but it’s where the majority of the Fediverse users are, and most of them are going to keep using that feature, it’s too convenient not to

Community Promo@lemmy.ca•!world@quokk.au - World News without the .world
61·1 month agoCrossposted to !newcommunities@lemmy.world , ironic but it has more subscribers and Piefed parses that community to fetch new communities: https://chat.piefed.social/#narrow/channel/4-developers/topic/Lemmyverse.20Community.20Discovery/near/4966
Consider joining !fediverse@piefed.social
We have two fediverse communities already, we don’t really need three :)

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•TIL Maegul coined the term 'threadiverse' June 5th 2023
1·2 months agoThen again I suppose if you have to do that then that defeats the purpose of the term, doesn’t it.
Yes, that’s the biggest issue.
Here is a 6 months old thread with other suggestions, some sound completely silly, some of them were nice: https://lemmy.zip/post/33451610

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•TIL Maegul coined the term 'threadiverse' June 5th 2023
1·2 months agoYes, regularly on https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/ , when threads are posted on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Reddit users are already familiar with the Threadiverse UI, and usually are reluctant to use anything “Fediverse” due to the issues with content discovery on Mastodon.
Showing them that there is a subpart of the Fediverse that have a similar UI to Reddit and solves most of the content discovery issues of Mastodon can help to make them give the platforms a try.

Fediverse@lemmy.ml•TIL Maegul coined the term 'threadiverse' June 5th 2023
2·2 months agoIf you talk to someone who’s not here about the “Threadiverse” they are instantly going to think it’s related to Meta’s Threads.
I like the name I use it a lot, don’t get me wrong, but that’s still an issue.

2·2 months agoYou can also follow people on Mbin too, and that’s good, but still at the moment, none of the most active Threadiverse software (Lemmy and Piefed) allow their users to.
Those limits might be “artificial”, but on the other hand, most of the userbase here has been around for more than 2 years now, and they still can’t follow other users.



Also make sure to click on the first part of the link (before the /c/), for some reason clicking the second part will still try to fetch it on your instance rather than the one I linked
