@Le Gรฉnรฉral Midi Non, pas du tout, le #Fedivers (basรฉ sur ActivityPub) et la #Fรฉdรฉration (basรฉe sur Diaspora) sont deux rรฉseaux incompatibles entre eux. Une poignรฉe de plate-formes supporte les deux protocoles (Friendica et Hubzilla en tรชte) mais cela conduit ร  des discussions fragmentรฉes oรน les utilisateurs de Diaspora ne peuvent voir que les rรฉponses Friendica aux comptes Mastodon, et vice-versa.


@simeon @pavsaund Youโ€™ll get no argument on that from me ;) ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-sโ€ฆ

(Apart from perhaps that we should also be looking at designs that aim to make doing what you describe as easy as possible. Itโ€™s much easier to set up a system thatโ€™s explicitly designed to serve one person than one that is designed to serve 1-100,000 people. The complexity involved is orders of magnitude less in the former.)

#singleTenant #SmallWeb #decentralisation #federation


We should have a few BIG landing-pad servers for new people, always.

"Find a nice server" is an impossible first step.

"Make an account on any of these big servers, it doesn't matter which. Later when you notice all the most interesting people hang at x.y, move there. No biggie." is what the advice to new users should be, IMO.

#federation #fediverse #decentralization


Optimising #Mastodon = designing flows that encourage people to leave mastodon.social for other instances, not accepting any more new members on mastodon.social, and making design changes that limit how much a single instance can scale.

A single instance that can scale to host hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people, is not a design success in decentralisation, itโ€™s a design failure. (Itโ€™s a design success in #BigTech.)

#decentralisation #centralisation #federation


We should not be optimising Mastodon so it can handle more people per server. We should be optimising Mastodon so it incentivises more serves with fewer people.

(And if you take that line of thinking to its logical conclusion, you arrive at the idea behind the Small Web: ar.al/2020/08/07/what-is-the-sโ€ฆ)

Mastodon โ€“ Simplified Federation by @rugk makes remote follows less cumbersome by automatically entering your Mastodon account details and puts that functionality where it should be: in your browser.

You can get it for Firefox from:

Small Is Beautiful

Iโ€™m delighted to announce that @gabek will be joining us this Thursday at 5PM Irish Time (UTC+1) to talk to us about Owncast, federation, and why we should be shipping software not code (gabekangas.com/blog/2022/06/shโ€ฆ)

Mark your calendars.

I thought it would be a cool idea to create a #lemmy #community for #fediverse/ #federation #introductions!

Problem with introduction posts is they tend to get buried after a short while and depending on how many other instances yours may know about others someone's intro may not federate that well (or fast) with the rest of the network.

Plus, some instances like #mastodon only allow 500 characters in a post. Not a lot of room to write an introduction. ๐Ÿ™‚

This was one of the use cases and goals I had for creating federated.community to kind of provide an alternative.

Anyway, to kick things off I've posted my own introduction and you're more than welcome to post one as well.

I also thought it would be cool to allow instance admins to post an "introduction" about their Instances too, so new users to the fediverse could find a little more information out about people's instances too.

Thoughts? Is this a good idea? What do you think?

#introduction #reintroduction

Hi all, Roel he/him.

An artist and designer with an interest in computer networks, materiality of the internet, digital community infrastructure, DIY/DIWO approaches, FOSS culture.

You might know my work from the LowTech Mag's solar powered server project solar.lowtechmagazine.com

Currently pursuing a #PhD in Interaction and Participatory #Design at Malmรถ University. As part of that research I work together with actors in the cultural sector to co-design alternative social media infrastructures with/for them. These are mostly based on fediverse applications, so I am also interested in aspects of #federation #governance #contentmoderation and more generally how to transition to and improve alternatives together etc. This space is far from perfect and in some cases insufficient but we need to start somewhere??

I'm a founding member of varia.zone, and also part of lurk.org. With LURK we've been running a fediverse instance called post.lurk.org since 2018, for which I am happy to be one of the co-admins! As part of that I boost #introductions, calls and questions..

:drake_like: This is introduction is really long because post.lurk.org has a character limit of 1337



The #FSFE opens its own #Matrix server! Supporters and registered volunteers can get their :fsfe.org account, and everyone can join our community chatrooms ๐Ÿš€

A must-have to attend #FOSDEM this weekend!
