The platform should provide some of these out of the box, in my opinion.
I am trying to build a new activitypub powered platform just for user scriptable moderation bots, but I am stuck on the modular federation design.
This is my third attempt now.

They recommend people other american centralized social media as an alternative to Bluesky in response to this, yet again. When are they going to learn?


It’s only useful with the ModeratorView type. I haven’t heard more than just a few using it for anything other than for moderation purposes. It is useful for some type of bots, for example. But I think they should opt in for a solution with the upcoming plugin system (for example a webhook) or with mentions. Polling this endpoint is not very efficient and it is very possible to even miss some comments.
So I think this endpoint should be just for the modview type and authorization should therefore be required.
Or the rate limit should be more fine tunable. There are like only 4 configurable rate limits that encompass all endpoints.


When did they understand anything? Fuck MS


DIDs are cool and all but I would trash your proposal because that is clearly llm bullshit. Put effort into it, seriously.
Oh and also, for big changes like these, you need to make a new RFC: https://github.com/LemmyNet/rfcs
The dev told me this in Mastodon:
@asudox @crowdbucks
I am learning the Taler Protocol right now — so that I can understand how Taler can be added to CrowdBucks.
So, yes, we are looking at making CrowdBucks work with Taler.
My prof usually says “jain”, which is “ja” and “nein” merged.


What do you mean by channels? Video channels (for example in Peertube) or Lemmy communities?


I personally use and recommend SearXNG.


+1 Posteo. Been using them since 2024


1Password and DuckDuckGo are neither privacy friendly nor FOSS.


Firefox should have a .part file with the downloaded content written to it. So even if it was cutoff, if you attempt to download the thing again, it should continue where it was at last time.


I don’t, but I do get the feeling that it is.
Also you can check FediDB.
Another factor is this year’s canvas and last year’s.


No, the MAU (which is what I assume you meant) seems to be going down very slowly. Though it probably will start going up once again someday. Possibly when the new digg is released to the public or when Reddit pulls another shit that not even the current Redditors will be able to tolerate.
I personally don’t have a problem with the current state. I like it here. I recognize lots of people every day comment and post. It feels cozy.


It’s easy to make one. But why would you want that?
As time goes by and more and more people join the Fediverse, I’m sure some niche comms will start taking off. I don’t like bots mirroring content from somewhere else, even as a help. In fact, I will immediately unsubscribe from any comm that starts doing that. And I’m sure many people also would.


It’s mostly idiots who want to be part of something and some that “don’t like” what is happening and “want” change but put in the least possible amount of effort pathetically to attempt to cause a change, and this only when someone popular suggests.
They never really want to stop using the product. It’s like drug addicts trying to make drugs less addicting by “protesting” against the very thing they use (and will keep using) literally everyday.
It’s an alternative to Reddit in the Fediverse.
The Fediverse is a network comprised of such software (Lemmy, Mastodon, PieFed, PixelFed, etc.)
Federation is the ability for different platforms to communicate using an agreed upon language (in the Fediverse, this language is called ActivityPub).
So if Instagram and Twitter were federated, you’d be able to post your photos on Instagram and have them also be on Twitter, all without having a seperate account at Twitter. All the likes and comments on Twitter will be available on Instagram and vice versa.
And because of this, servers (or instances of platforms) are not really dependant on each other. So even if lemmy.world were to shut down, every other instance will still operate just fine. For example, I run my own Lemmy instance lemmy.asudox.dev. Even if every other Lemmy instance were shut down, my instance will still continue operating without any issues. Any new instance can then link with my instance and start federating. The power of decentralization.
A nice video explaining the Fediverse by the Peertube team: https://framatube.org/w/9dRFC6Ya11NCVeYKn8ZhiD
The video and my explanation are over simplifications. Federation will not work between all instances the same. Mastodon and Lemmy don’t federate fully. For example, Mastodon has no communities. Mastodon users just post (or “toot”, like “tweet” in twitter) on their profile. So you can’t subscribe (or follow) users in Mastodon from Lemmy nor see their posts, unless they post it in a community (which appear as just another user in Mastodon).
If you want to know more about the technical details, check the specification for ActivityPub at W3C.
I say 5. Look at the 3 at the top. It has a flat bottom, while the one you want to know does not.
I use Aegis on my phone.
