With the announcement that lemm.ee, I believe the 2nd largest #Lemmy instance, is shutting down in a few weeks, some of their more active users have moved to my #PieFed server (feddit.online). Tonight I need to double the memory on the app server. And the DB server that was idling at 23% CPU until this morning is now 100% since late morning. I need to maybe scale it up as well.
I know piefed.social scaled up yesterday, and they've been much harder hit than I have. I wonder how other #Lemmy and #MBIN servers are being impacted by this. Anyone know?
There's still around 75 mins left until the people from #Framasoft will start answering the questions, but their #Lemmy#AMA already has more than 50 comments, with some insightful and interesting questions already posed.
If you have missed that it is happening until now, join the questions or browse the answers later here:
My latest #gaming news post has been shared on #Lemmy if you wanna go and read the bits and pieces of recent gaming news I've spotted, of all kinds!
This is the 17th of these I've shared now! As ever and always, I opt for the #opensource platform of Lemmy to write and post these on, since the alternative is utter rubbish
I would love it if someone could mirror #LSF on the #Fediverse, preferably through #mbin or #Lemmy. I know I post some clip links to @LSF, but I am only a man! I can't post everything and it'd be nice to not have to go to #Reddit anymore to see clips of #Twitch, #Kick, and #YouTube streamers.
On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.
However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in FEP 1b12 which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:
lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects.
So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:
In this example the post also has a #asdf hashtag on it.
User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.
This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.
It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too.
"A Framasoft lançou a versão 1 do aplicativo móvel @peertube de streaming de vídeo, permitindo várias contas, gerenciamento playlist, comentários e assinaturas. Ele inclui autenticação de dois fatores e planos para mais recursos e aprimoramentos."
"Bluesky tem interrupção e as pessoas se perguntam por quê.
Bluesky teve uma interrupção maciça no outro dia, e as pessoas estão se perguntando como uma rede social "descentralizada" poderia cair assim?
Sabes como? Ainda não é descentralizado. A maioria dos usuários ainda está no servidor principal e foi isso que aconteceu.
Você não vê coisas assim acontecendo no Mastodon ou nos outros serviços do ActivityPub. Sabes porquê? Eles são todos descentralizados e se um servidor cai, os outros não.
Não é um conceito complexo.
Eu gosto de Bluesky. Eu gosto que haja pessoas que eu quero seguir lá. Há uma comunidade lá para mim. Mas também tenho uma comunidade ainda maior no Fediverso (Mastodon etc.).
O que me incomoda é que o Bluesky diz que é descentralizado quando não é.
Ainda não, pelo menos.
Quero dizer, ele pode ser descentralizado e isso o torna muito melhor do que o X/Twitter e os outros aplicativos da Web 2,0 que são centralizados e desligados. Mas ainda não é descentralizado - ainda não.
E até que possa ser facilmente descentralizado e, de fato, seja, teremos interrupções como essa e censura como estamos vendo com a Turquia e o Bluesky. Pensamentos? Eu adoraria ouvir a sua opinião."
:fediverse: Fediverse Sprechstunde! 🗓️ am Donnerstag 24.04.2025, 19:30 Uhr! ONLINE!
Bist du #neu oder #neuhier in der Welt des Fediverse? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einrichten, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!
Hauptthema: #Lemmy mit @Ranslite . Ich freue mich darauf und hoffe es werden weitere Nutzer von Lemmy dabei sein. Lemmy ist wie ein föderiertes Reddit aufgebaut: Der Fokus liegt auf Themen-Communities, in denen Beiträge (z. B. Links, Texte, Bilder) gepostet und kommentiert werden. Die Diskussionen sind eher threadbasiert und themenzentriert.
Eingeladen sind ebenso alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Misskey, Hubzilla oder anderen Anwendungen haben und ihr Wissen gerne weitergeben möchten.
:fediverse: Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse könnten anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, besonders denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind. :fediverse: Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen. :fediverse: Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse mitzugestalten.
Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet. Der Link: wird hier 1 Tag davor gepostet
Das Online-Treffen findet auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server statt. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome – ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋♀️
Der Ablauf der Sprechstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Zu Beginn geben wir Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Anschließend geht es um Ratschläge für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. Ein solcher Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Die Welt des Fediverse ist Größer und vielfältiger. Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.
#Piefed has a great new feature. When you search for a community, it doesn't just look for communities that your server knows about, but it also looks through the #Lemmy index, via LemmyVerse.net, to find Lemmy communities that you can then bring into the Piefed instance you're on.
