In the development and building of a shared, open, collaborative network, efforts have come and gone over the years for the Fediverse. We dig into the history, various attempts, and some of the ideas people have had.

"Threads is deepening its ties to the fediverse, also known as the open social web, which powers services like X alternative Mastodon, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Flipboard and other apps. On Wednesday, Meta announced that users on Threads will be able to see fediverse replies on other posts besides their own. In addition, posts that originated through the Threads API, like those created via third-party apps and scheduling services, will now be syndicated to the fediverse. The latter had previously been announced via an in-app message informing users that API posts would be shared to the fediverse starting on August 28."

[Quiblr](https://quiblr.com) is Lemmy client with a bunch of cool features (e.g. For You feed, masonry posts, accessibility settings). Let me know what you think!

As the Fediverse continues to grow, people are looking to build new experiences that change what's possible on the network today. Flohmarkt is a nascent project intended for selling personal items, and may be the first attempt of its kind here.

I've been researching for the past week Threadiverse projects (Lemmy at first, then PieFed and now Mbin) with the goal of **testing out their interoperability with the rest of the Fediverse**. Apologies in advance if this is the third post you see from me - **this one is my first in Mbin**. I wonder if you have any **insights** regarding the differences between the 3 - advantages/disadvantages and opinions on your favorite project? I'm also interested to see if Mbin manages to **federate mentions** (unlike Lemmy and PieFed who falls short). So for the purposes of this test, I'm mentioning: - my Mastodon account @_elena@mastodon.social - my Friendica account @elena@opensocial.space - and my Lemmy account @elena@lemmy.world to see if anything happens Thanks and happy to be here!

I am currently looking for a Linux CLI viewer/application for Lemmy. I am writing the post from NeonModem Overdrive, which is pretty fun. Just wondering if there are any other CLI options out there. Thanks!

Flipboard continues its rollout of federation capabilities, this time implementing a "soft-follow" system for users to try out federated subscription for the very first time.

The Mastodon For Harris campaign has raised close to $500,000 within two weeks of being live. It is probably the largest attempt for political organizing on the Fediverse, and may provide a playbook for other efforts going forward.

Next step would be realtime updates from journalists on breaking news.

I guess that each number variation is a domain owner ID in Bodis' database. I saw between 5 to 10 different number variations, each one being pointed to by a bunch of old Lemmy domains. > > This probably means that among actors who snatch expired domains, several of them have taken a specific interest with expired domains of old Lemmy instances. Another hypothesis is that there were a lot of domains registered for hosting Lemmy during the Reddit API debacle (about 1 year ago), which started expiring recently. > > Are there any other instance admins who noticed the same thing ? Is any of my two hypothesis more plausible than the other ? Should we worry about this trend ? > > Anyway, I hope this at least serves as a reminder to not let our domains expire ;)

Today, we sat down and reviewed NeoDB, a Fediverse review system that lets you track books, movies, music, tv shows, games, podcasts, and more. There's some really incredible ideas beneath the surface.

Sometimes, developing a new app, platform, or concept for the #Fediverse can seem like a minefield. Here's some rules of thumb on how to maintain goodwill with the community, and ideas of how to do it.

In an effort to better help prospective Fediverse developers understand Solid, the ActivityPods team has released an example app as a reference point for understanding how everything works under the hood.

And now, for some lighthearted fun: Canvas, the r/Place alternative for Lemmy, is back for its 72-hour collaborative art event, and this time, the whole Fediverse is invited!

I left reddit on june 12th last year in protest of spez's decision to change the reddit api from being free as in free beer to an unbelievably expensive cost. That same day, I joined lemmy on a now abandoned account. At first, I had a hard time adapting to lemmy's significantly smaller community, but I got used to it and learned to embrace it. However, recently I started missing reddit a lot more, and after some consideration, made an account on the (demonic) website. But I don't think it felt the same way as before, sure, there was more posts, but they lacked a heart and soul, they were all so generic, as if it lost it's spark. Has anyone else that's been on there noticed anything similar??
