  • Clarifying Costs of Running the Fediverse with Jerry from Infosec.Exchange

    Jump

  • Very interesting article! I have immense respect for jerry@infosec.exchange, he was one of the first people I found on the fediverse, and it's no wonder why, he's revered quite highly by others as being a generous and kind admin.

    I do want to point out one thing, and that is that Mastodon has some design decisions that make it rather resource and storage intensive.

    There are oodles of lighter software out there, some with even more features than Mastodon, and some with less. For example, snac.bsd.cafe (https://snac.bsd.cafe/) runs on Snac, which is fast as hell.

    I am going to guess that a not insignificant portion of Jerry's bill is caching assets. Mastodon likes to save everything it encounters, videos, images, avatars, everything... forever (though I imagine this is customisable). Most likely the assets are viewed a handful of times in one day and never seen again... but you'll pay to store it forever!

  • Why is data congregation so hard on Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Thanks! It's something that I personally feel is more performant and future proof for other important things like private discussions (which Mastodon also doesn't support natively yet — mention spamming doesn't count.)

  • Lemmy and lots of other software use a fediverse extension called 1b12 to keep everything in sync.

    In a nutshell it means Lemmy communities can follow other communities, and they keep each other in sync. The same applies for other types of communities, like PieFed communities, Mbin magazines, NodeBB categories, etc.

    Mastodon doesn't have a concept of community or categories, so they don't support this kind of synchronization.

  • what fediverse software is similar to lemmy?

  • There's NodeBB if you want a forum/BBS style UX for the threadiverse!

  • Need help implementing ActivityPub - getting inconsistent results across platforms

    Jump

  • For what it's worth your blog does show up fine in NodeBB as well. Perhaps you are missing the @context property and so Mastodon is refusing to parse it?

  • Missing project?

  • m_f@discuss.online not directly, but there was a session at FediForum on Thursday that discussed the website and next steps for updating it. It's been stagnant for quite awhile but evan@cosocial.ca and j12t@j12t.social finally have write access to the repo and control of the domain.

  • Hey deadsuperhero@lemmy.world have you tried updating to the latest NodeBB? You can post to Lemmy communities from there too!

  • m_f@discuss.online ActivityPub.rocks I bet?

    There's exciting work planned for updating this site!

  • Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • PewDiePie built his fame and fortune on a centralized platform.

    I am not certain whether he will see the benefit of a decentralized future beyond dollar signs.

    Happy to be proven wrong.

  • Pixelfed Uptick in Monthly Active Users

    Jump

  • I would say that Pixelfed is closer to the microblog space than it is the threaded discussion space.

    It's essentially microblogging except with an image media focus (or video, in the case of Loops.)

    To each their own, some people communicate better using pictures, some better over short text, some better over long-form text. There's a space for them all :smile:

  • > Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex also had its namesake animal on the default wallpaper, but more subtle than the last release.

    That was an Ibex? All this time I thought it was a coffee stain.

  • What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called?

  • @iso@lemy.lol what's a "lemmy-like" PM :laughing: I think this explains why I can't log into the site.

  • I think the FEP process is overly complicated for what it is, but it's definitely helpful if you have multiple implementors on board.

    The easiest (but least accessible) solution is to document something on your own site, but that lacks the social proof that a finalized FEP has.

    Just some food for thought 🙂 I'm looking to create an FEP for cross posting and would love to get the entire threadiverse dev community involved.
