  • Pixelfed leaks private posts from other Fediverse instances - fiona fokus

  • If I understand it correctly, it's kind of both. Sounds like Pixelfed didn't follow best practice setting privacy guardrails in follow request approval, and it exacerbates the inherent lack of privacy on the fediverse.

    You're right of course, anyone (with the coding chops) could've intentionally set up an instance that does the same for malicious purposes. That should be a wake-up call for anyone who thinks ActivityPub is a great sexting medium.

  • Nope. It looks like crash testing security in production, or "fuck around and find out" with other people's privacy.

  • Federated wiki software?

    Jump

  • Yeah, people tend to mistake "federated" for "open alternative" 🤷

  • Is it me or do most of these OT promotional posts come from diggita.com? Time to tighten up the registration criteria (or block lists) perhaps?

  • How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon?

    Jump

  • This is key to a calm timeline on Mastodon (as it was on Twitter): Mute accounts liberally — and mute hashtags as well. There will be a maddening amount of noise, and since there is no algorithm on Mastodon, it's up to yourself to focus in the important stuff.

  • A "Sign in with fediverse" button?

  • FWIW, you can setup IndieAuth — on its own or as part of the IndieWeb plugin suite for Wordpress. It may not be quite what you're looking for, but it's a step in the right direction?

  • I think I understand the self hosted identity server part, and authenticating with it on different sites. But what is the federated element you're talking about? What would that instance federate, and with whom?

    If we're moving into a single sign-on for several federated accounts, that's cool. People have been asking for that for ages! But the identity provider itself wouldn't (need to) be federated for that to work, right?

  • Oh, do check out the Indieweb. It probably predates the (term) fediverse, and the ideas that underpin it are well worth looking into!

  • All of tumblr is being moved to Wordpress software, and Automatic confirmed last month that it will also include federating posts.

  • Some fediverse help please

    Jump

  • If you're on Android, try Tusky. It supports multiple accounts but focuses on Mastodon and compatible platforms.

    It doesn't handle Pixelfed very well (although that can be down to Pixelfed's ongoing development), and may not support all of Friendica's features, but you can definitely sign in from Tusky.

    What is stopping corporations from hijacking the Fediverse by hosting massive servers?

    Jump

  • I don't know how you define "most" or "core" here, but it's certainly true that mastodon.social and its ~400K users remain federated with Threads.

    A lot of instances did block or limit them though, and I'm not going to sit down and calculate which side is in majority 🤷

  • Not Lemmy specifically, but the broader fediverse (and probably mostly the microblog part dominated by Mastodon and its forks)

  • Exactly. See also Gab and Truth Social.

  • I've finally been Nicoled

    Jump

  • Same. Thanks to an Mbin glitch "she" even sent me a second message from an account I'd already blocked 🤣

  • Yeah, there's not that big a difference between Mbin and Lemmy when it comes down to it. Nicole is the Fediverse Chick, after all.

  • Demo of European Mastodon hosting

    Jump

  • With servers in Europe, maybe. I've seen K&T pop up in search results, but they're in Florida... But the more to choose from in the Eurozone the better, right?

    Edit: There's also FediMonster with servers in Germany.

  • Cool project! I hope it takes off.

    One question, I know Mastodon has become a sort of market standard for the microblogging fediverse — but for people who just want a single-user/"vanity" instance, wouldn't it make sense to offer something leaner like GoToSocial?

    Because GTS is less resource intensive than Mastodon, that could then also be an environmental argument?
