Looks like the #threadiverse has been widely used by the #Lemmy and #Kbin communities for years, but now it's slowly being co-opted (including by #Meta staff) to refer to the #federation of #Threads.

I predict a complete takeover of the #hashtag, and term in general, before the end of 2024.

(My first post!) Discussing (and discovering!) how Friendica great is 😀




The #Fediverse needs to learn some serious conflict resolution...

If we ever aspire to become a serious alternative to corporate platforms we can't continue with this behavior. Let me explain.

Two days ago someone created a "The_Donald" community of a well-known #Lemmy instance. Immediately there were cries for defederation, blocking, and suspicion about the admin letting racists run rampant on his instance.

Ultimately when the admin logged in they removed that community. But before they even had time to realize what was happening they were already being accused of stuff and if any instance heeded the call to block, it would have caused damage to the users who would have their subscriptions / follows severed.

Some users who've just arrived from Reddit and bring a fresh perspective are already wary of the shit show this can become.

That instance resisted massive blocks because it was large enough. But what if it was smaller? >>

I'm hearing rumours that #NodeBB is adding support for ActivityPub. Some folks have told me that this implementation will have group federation capabilities similar to #Lemmy and #Kbin.

I need to investigate this rumour further. If true, this is huge.

At the very least, I know NodeBB is discussing ActivityPub.

Decided I'm going to go ahead with my Kbin mobile app.

Yeah I know i have a lot on the go, but I use Apollo daily, and want a solid Apollo like experience for Kbin.

I'm willing to hand over the project to Kbin if they want, and would love to work closely with the developer on this if possible.

Will be starting this next week, after my camping trip! It will be open source from the start, and contributors will be gladly welcomed! #kbin

#kbin + #lemmy app is coming along. Here's a preview of the upcoming beta. This is less than a week’s worth of work, so it’s only up from here 😉

Based on polls, looks like Artemis is winning for the name. Which is a great tribute to #ApolloApp 🙏

Stalk my work and suggest ideas in the app's Discord server (link in bio).

Looks like #Lemmy and #Kbin keep being mentioned together, which to me suggests we might have averted "mastodonization" of the #threadiverse — i.e. a situation where the whole network gets identified with a single piece of software. 🎉

This is the way. :blobcatcool:


As a social platform, Lemmy offers nothing drastically better or different than Reddit. Which, again, I suspect, will be detrimental to its growth. The average person doesn’t care about API pricing; they want their memes. Nor do they care about running their own instance of a social network. All in all, Lemmy comes across as what a utopian Reddit should be. Free of corporate control, with the ability to run your instances. But unless something changes dramatically, it’ll suffer the same fate as Mastodon or Bluesky. I can’t see it gaining any traction beyond those in the know unless serious efforts are made to simplify it for the average user.


The admin of a new Kbin server would like to let people know it's open for registrations:

Mostly poor federation, especially with #Kbin but also with #Rebased / #Pleroma

Working on an article about #Lotide to post from @casey-magazine. I'm starting to get quite frustrated with its lack of federation, this time, with its lack of federation with #Kbin. Federation between #Kbin and #Lotide is quite literally non-existent.

If I stop using #Lotide, should I switch to #Kbin, or #Lemmy?

  • Kbin (66%, 10 votes)
  • Lemmy (33%, 5 votes)
15 voters. Poll end: 1 year ago


So, this is great news!

Jerry Bell @jerry who runs the large Mastodon instance infosec.exchange, has posted that they are running both #Lemmy and #kbin instances:

"I have good news!
https://infosec.pub is running lemmy, and https://fedia.io is running kbin and we control them both"
https://infosec.exchange/@jerry/110527602646036871

This should give people confidence that these instances can handle the coming surge in new users:
Lemmy: https://infosec.pub/signup
kbin: https://fedia.io/register

Hey fedi,

Does anyone know how I can subscribe to a #kbin magazine from a non-kbin fedi account? I assume there is some way to do this.
