Fediverse

What's new

• Media library that lets you upload images to comments/post body and paste from the clipboard
• Animated gif support for user profile pictures
• Specify alt-text for link posts that link to an image
• Emoji picker and spoiler button added to markdown toolbar
• More links to the modlog (footer, community sidebar, user profile) and improved searching/filtering
• Leave a conversation to remove it from the list of their direct message conversations
• Post urls are now "friendly" since they include the community name and a snippet of the title instead of just a number
• Add link to show parent comment when directly viewing a comment reply
• Image markdown style formatting to allow more advanced control of how images are rendered. e.g. ![image alt text :: width=300px](https://url/ to image)
• Code syntax highlighting in code blocks and allow for style selection in user settings
• Tag cloud added to sidebar for feeds and topics
• Better searching and filtering of the Instances list
• Add a block (of a user, community, instance or domain) from the blocks and filters management area, without doing it via a post
• Popup suggestions when mentioning a community or user as you type
• Onboarding plugin which auto-subscribes, auto-blocks and sends a welcome message for new accounts
• Improved federation efficiency
• Old posts can be automatically archived (saved to S3) to free up database space
• Old posts by bots with no comments are automatically deleted
• LLDAP support, which does LDAP a bit differently

To upgrade

To upgrade from 1.2.x:

git pull  
git checkout v1.3.x  
./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh  

In the past we had a separate project for realtime notifications, which is now unsupported as it's code has been merged with the main PieFed project. To set it up, refer to the Push Notifications section of install.md. As well as enhancing the user experience doing this will decrease load on your server if it hosts local communities with many subscribers as some of the federation work has been offloaded to the push notifications service.

Donations

PieFed is free and open-source software while operating without any advertising, monetization, or reliance on venture capital. Your donations are vital in supporting the PieFed development effort, allowing us to expand and enhance PieFed with new features.

Donations can be made via Patreon, Liberapay or Ko-fi.

Fediverse projects are maturing and adoption of them is trending up. I'm excited for the further development of the underlying technologies as well as the apps being built to leverage those technologies into even more integrated, user-friendly experiences.

With any developing tech, small annoyances are found and ultimately patched or worked around. It's to be expected that no user experience is ever perfect, even for matured ecosystems. Typically, some smaller annoyances are tolerated when balanced with the overall utility and usefulness of the tech.

One of the issues I've noticed (and I'm sure I'm not the first or only), is that when posts are relevant enough that the OP decides to cross-post into multiple communities, the comments and engagement stays with each community post leading to separate conversations.

The existance of separate conversations itself isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe you post a recipe for Pot Roast in a general cooking community and also a community that helps refine recipes to improve them. It may be that the two separate conversations make more sense as the nature of discourse is focused on two different aspects of the content posted. If they were combined, it would be more difficult to sift through chatter to get at the discussion you were looking for.

This concept is true for different communities as well as different instances. Maybe the Pot Roast recipe conversation generated on lemmy.carnivores is substantly different from the conversation at lemmy.vegan-curious and the existance of both is bolstered by the cultures and seneabilities of the different instance/communities. That could create usefull and/or thoughtful discourse that maybe wouldn't have happened if everyone was mixed together and talking past each other.

However, there are plenty of informative posts attached to very similar communities on a given instance as well as posted to mirror-communities across separate instances. Each individual post is a separate entity and i find myself jumping in to different conversations of the same content to see what's being said in each. In addition to general replies often asking the same questions across all of the posts, unique engagement is diffuse and not connecting.

I imagine that an OP would have trouble keeping up with all of these different interactions and likely defaulting to paying their attention to only one or two while the remaining posts are left to fend for themselves. Even if the OP stayed on top of them all, I assume they'd often have to answer the same questions multiple times.

_The question I pose is: _

What is the solution to myriad and diffuse conversations around cross-posts? Is there a way to handle this situation thru lemmy-ettiquette or does it require a technological solution?

Maybe we handle it thru culture and expectation. If the decided upon method was to post once and then link that post to other communities for exposure, maybe that funnels everyone into one post to interact (when that's what OP wants).

Is there a software solution on the app developer level that combines like posts together? Is it a protocol level solution thats required? Maybe something that allows a single post to essentially 'tag' different communities for exposure, while only posting once? Can we associate posts to an individual user rather than associating the post to a community, so all replies come to the user post rather than in a community?

I don't know what the solution looks like and I'm not savvy enough to understand the protocol/software side to know if any of my examples are realistic. I also don't know if this is an issue for anyone else, or at least one that lemmy-ites actuallly care about enough to try and solve.

Does anyone know if work is being done to address this? Am I focusing on something that is simply not a priority? I welcome your thoughts.

...I tried to choose what I thought was the best place for this post, but I'm open to moving it if I was in error. (Ironically, something that might be easier if posts were handled differently). :)

Fediverse community platform Bonfire launches, together with a crowdfunding campaign. Mastodon now officially quote posts, and a fediverse client for the Media Liberation Day campaign.

I remember signing up for the newsletter for this a while ago. They've come a good way since then, and I appreciate how much thought and planning they've put into this. There's value to having a clear road map of how they intend to put it all together.

This page seems to have the most information: indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community

I've pulled out the parts I thought were relevant:

Welcome to the open social web: a growing constellation of people and interconnected apps reclaiming the web.

But most people aren’t here yet. They’re trapped in mainstream social media platforms controlled by billionaires, where [...]

The solution isn’t another winner‑takes‑all platform, but a resilient, diverse web of interoperable services built on open protocols like ActivityPub, with bridges to other networks (AT Protocol/Bluesky) where useful. [...]

After several years of tireless work, we’ve just launched Bonfire Social 1.0, built on our modular toolkit that's fully customisable and extensible by design, which powers federated spaces that connect with Mastodon and the wider fediverse, balancing local autonomy with global conversation.

Then about the campaign:

This campaign aims to strengthen what we've built and unlock what comes next: federated groups, events, and governance tools; shared moderation and end‑to‑end encryption; mutual aid networks; Bluesky interconnection and mobile applications; living memory and Gaia.

The code is a public good (no investors, no ads), so rewards honour the craft and invite participation.

They then list out their plans for each step, as well as who they are collaborating with already:

For example, for federated events:

co‑created with LAUTI, interoperable with Mobilizon, Gancio, and Gathio. Follow groups and places and make event discovery and participation spread across the fediverse

For E2E Encryption:

Standards‑based MLS encryption for DMs and group chats, developed in partnership with the Social Web Foundation and another federated plaform, with usable key management and an interoperability path for the wider fediverse.

Messages are encrypted on devices and readable only by intended recipients—even by instance operators. We’ll focus on usable, federated key management and a path toward interop across the fediverse, setting a stronger baseline for privacy, especially for at‑risk communities.

Mutual Aid:

Local gifting and mutual aid: location-based offers/requests and resource matching, co‑designed with Mutual Aid Networks and local BuyNothing communities to strengthen solidarity and local resilience.

BuyNothing‑style gifting and mutual aid features support everyday sharing and crisis response: offers, requests, matching, and interoperable accounting with ValueFlows.

We’ll work with gifting and mutual aid communities to migrate from closed platforms, and explore bridges to connect existing networks (e.g., TrashNothing) where useful, so care and resources can flow without surveillance or lock‑in.

Gaia:

Environmental sensor and open data can appear in feeds as stories, visuals, and alerts. Co‑created with ecologists, artists, and sensor networks to turn data into dialogue and stewardship, taking Citizen Science to a whole new level.

Streams of environmental data, such as sensors, citizen science, open datasets can become understandable and actionable signals. Communities can contribute local data, listen with place, and turn awareness into care. The network of life is already federated, Gaia helps us listen and respond together.

Hello all,

Apologies if this isn't the right place, but I have moved instances a few times, and in doing so I've accumulated a number of subscriptions from my old instances. I always used the "migrate" feature, and I have roughly 200 communities I'm subscribed to. Most are from various other instances that aren't my own. That being said, I have Lemmy open on "subscribed" and "scaled", as I found this gives me just what I want to see when I boot up the site.

But it is very slow, sometimes even timing out on Jerboa. I thought it was my instance, but I've had this issue on other instances as well. I'd imagine federating all my subscriptions would take some time, but then wouldn't "All" cause even more problems? I've tried to look into this to no avail.

Am I the only one? I'm asking this more out of curiosity than an actual solution.

I found this article from earlier this year: https://blog.discourse.org/2025/04/discourse-and-the-fediverse/

However, I haven't come across that much content from Discourse platforms over here on Lemmy/Piefed. Is there more work to do with the plugins, or should we work with organizations running Discourse to help them connect with us?

For example, the threadiverse communities for OpenStreetMaps is relatively small, and being able to see / contribute to community.openstreetmap.org would be amazing.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/38329467 Will include various fediverse talks & presentations.

Main site at https://seagl.org/ and they are on fediverse @SeaGL@mastodon.social

A number of talks and expo hall. All are welcome; please help re-share so people can know about it and attend. Lots of the talks will be on streaming as well for remote participation. They also have Matrix chats https://seagl.org/meet

I stopped using piefed a week ago when I got a message some random quack banned my account in some community I had never engaged with but I could not figure out who did it or where it happened. Any lack of modlog accountability for mods and admin with full transparency are an absolute no-go for me.

Maybe I am just dumb and not seeing where to find these. I only use the web browser front end.

I'm trying to follow the guide here https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/install_docker.html

I get an error when I run docker compose up -d. It happens after docker outputs ⠹ Container lemmy-postgres-1 Starting

Error response from daemon: failed to create task for container: failed to create shim task: OCI
runtime create failed: runc create failed: unable to start container process: error during container

var/lib/postgresql/data: no such file or directory: unknown

I'm not really sure what this means, and trying all of AIs suggestions didn't fix it.

I'm kinda new to all of this, so any help would be appreciated.

Just gathering ideas.

There is perennial discussion about what fediverse servers (Lemmy or otherwise) to recommend to new users. I have a proposal, perhaps not very original but I haven't seen it made often.

Let's just recommend that newbies pick an instance that is located close to them geographically. That's to say: their country, their region, or (ideally) their town.

Some context. Personally, I am not totally sold on social media, federated or otherwise. The evidence is now pretty clear that it causes major social harms. One way it does this is by fuelling polarization around hot-button national and international debates, at the expense of local issues. Reviving democracy is going to mean boosting communities at a local level. This could be a small way to do that.

Implement magazine banners by BentiGorlich · Pull Request #1759 · MbinOrg/mbin

Iirc, in one of his last public appearances before abandoning Kbin was commenting he had health issues.

Just noticed he has a blog where he occasionally posts, latest post being from September, and in the "about me" section, he also mentions about having to drop Kbin.

Going by his posts and his repositories, he doesn't seem involved with ActivityPub anymore, at least in a public manner. But sharing in case someone worried about the person.

a blog post that chronicles what I've been up to this month: from speaking at a conference in Berlin, to 3 podcast interviews about the Fediverse...

Services will shutdown on the following schedule.

October 30, 2025: Announcement of shutdown.
November 30, 2025: First reminder notice.
December 15, 2025: Second reminder notice. Future invoicing stops.
December 30, 2025: Third reminder notice.
January 15, 2026: Services disabled and final notice. Backups are still available.
February 1, 2026: Full system shutdown. All remaining data will be purged from the system.  

I'm writing an #article about the different implementations of #activitypub @fediverse

Which implementations would you like to see tested?

Does anyone know of a #pleroma server that isn't fascist? Pleroma has a lot of interesting stuff, but unfortunately, it also has a lot of rotten people.

What resources, suggestions, and support can those of us who are already here provide to potential newcomers? And what can we do to prepare for – and encourage – a potential influx?

from https://gts.burning.homes/users/lnkr/statuses/01K84AH2WMVGTWK3MVTDY7EAJS

Since AWS is still having issues, I was wondering how the fediverse is? How are you all fairing this fine Monday?

I do a presentation of the Fediverse to my college students and will soon be giving short workshops to organization as well. I realize that a viable, decentralized altenative to Facebook is IMO the biggest missing piece of the puzzle. We need something that offers some kind of central platform for networking, events, groups, etc. For work related stuff I present Nexcloud. Mastodon, Lemmy, Pixelfed and Loops are getting really interesting and working alternative to their counterparts. I believe if we could get a massive movement of people to adopt an FOSS alternative to Facebook, everything else would easily follow. What do you people think, what would you recommend? I haven't tried Friendica yet.

I've been looking for an overview of how different fediverse services interact in practice.
For example, what happens if I follow a lemmy account from mastodon, or if I send a dm to a writefreely blog, or use gotosocial to comment on peertube, etc?
Is there something published on this subject? If not, would it be of interest to other people?
