Because big data is valuable and little data is generally not, admins of small instances have little incentive to dig into the DB. Because humans are moderating the small instances, they can do a better job than AI moderators, albeit with m

Another way of verifying your fediverse account(s) is to put it on your myname.com page. If you do not own your own domain, get it at gandi.net. You can create a site for free at neocities.com.

Centralized algorithms for feeds are generally rejected by the community so far. Some projects such as Mastodon provide users the ability define filters of their raw chronological feed. People can also use and follow hashtags.

Very few people knew this was even an option before last week as there was next to zero mention of it in the corp media they see. Now every big media outlet is suddenly explaining it. People also tend to only act when on the precipice. This

The Android phone I gave her and we use is GrapheneOS, and we have a Nextcloud server for most all our needed services. It is far more private than Apple who knows where you are at all times, what you are using on your phone, who you commun

Best not to show your phone on a first date. It is like talking about religion here in San Francisco. Apple verses Google is like Allah verses Yahweh. You may not get laid.

Are they selling any servers? I need them to setup Mastodon servers.

You can also use https://api.invidious.io/ to get the feeds. I keep the Youtube feed since I just share button to Newpipe. From Newpipe I can send to Kodi for the big screen experience.

I have been using RSS-Bridge to generate those feeds, but today it looks like Mark changed the API again. Hopefully next update will fix that. I wish I could get my family and friends to start posting on the Pixelfed instance I setup for th

I moved all my feeds to Nextcloud News which is just one of a dozen or so add-ons I setup on my Nextcloud server. The official free mobile app is awesome, and Nextcloud syncs with just about any feed reader. My only hesitation about Nextclo

Services like ImprovMX will love this. They can make any domain you own and link it to your email account without setup on the mailbox. gandi.net gives you 2 free inboxes for every domain you own, but the free tier has limited services and

You can start your own if you want. Federated means that the many instances can talk to each other. The emphasis is on the word 'can'. They can choose not to federate with yours based on your rules and content.

This is a great switch from AOTP that I just did. The more exciting thing I learned here is that I can backup my entire GrapheneOS phone to my Nextcloud server for recovery. I just go into Android settings->Backup to get started. This wi

This is beautiful. When I last used Lemmy, the number of instances were few and not diverse, but now I see a bunch on https://join-lemmy.org/instances . I also notice that it has been packaged for easy install on yunohost. I

Thank you for explaining it like that. Some refer to these platforms as GACC(Government, AI, Corporate Controlled), but this could be abbreviated to simply government controlled. These governments are not elected by the people and are prima

That is due to too many users jumping on when the servers were not sized for the amount of activity. My server is doing just fine, but I have a relatively small number of users and activity.

Anybody following your account will receive that toot and photo unless the server they are on has blocked your server or your account. I don't believe there are any limitations to how far your toots can fly other than that.
