I know a lot of you still think of the #Fediverse as just “Mastodon”.

But it’s far more than that. There’s an entire ecosystem of federated message boards that’s already proven popular: #Piefed, #NodeBB, #Lemmy, #Mbin, and #Discourse.

Even the classics like #Friendica and #Hubzilla have solid forum features baked in.

If you’re only here for the microblogging, you’re missing a key piece. Communities built around interests are something #Twitter never offered, and #Bluesky still doesn’t.

So if you’re looking to replace your #Facebook Groups, the Fediverse already has you covered.

🌍 Il mondo e l'Italia stanno cambiando e non sempre in meglio.

Crisi internazionali, guerre, derive autoritarie, censure e manipolazione dell'informazione. E in Italia i segnali preoccupanti non mancano.

Per informarsi al di fuori dal rumore di fondo e dall'indignazione acchiappa click il gruppo #lemmy di attualità ha appena raggiunto i 400 iscritti:

💬 @attualita

un punto di informazione dal basso per seguire notizie indipendenti, reportage dal campo, analisi di attivisti e osservatori.

I really want to know why #Lemmy communities do this ​​
also a suggestion, there should be an option where when cross posting a thread, it does not create an entirely new post. IMO, both options should be available...

Lemmy is so much nicer than Reddit. Specially with the Voyager client.

#fediverse #mastodon #lemmy

It “only” took me a few years to find out that I don’t need to have a PeerTube or Lemmy account to interact with them; I just need to copy/paste the link in Mastodon search and then follow or reply.

Why no one is saying this little detail FIRST to all the n00bs coming from the Horror socials? After this you can explain the fediverse; Now Activity Pub makes so much sense to an atechnical person.

Cadged from #Lemmy, which, if you’re not a user, it’s a federated Reddit. I like it.

Hello fediverse!

I need your help to feature all of the amazing services that are part of the #ActivityPub realm.

What are some of your favorite ActivityPub handles to follow on #Funkwhale, #Peertube, #Pixelfed, #Bookwyrm, #Wordpress, #Truefans, #Castopod, #Akkoma, #Friendica, #Lemmy and others?

Your replies will be categorized by @jejord, @AileenLalor, @miaq and @marci so that we can feature these accounts to our Flipboard users and work to ensure they render properly on Flipboard.

I'm excited to help evangelize the many great projects here and advocate for their adoption and funding.

Thank you again to @mike for joining me on this episode of Fireside Fedi!

Fediverse Sprechstunde!
🗓️ am Donnerstag 24.04.2025, 19:30 Uhr!
ONLINE!

Bist du #neu oder #neuhier in der Welt des Fediverse? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einrichten, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!

Hauptthema: #Lemmy mit @Ranslite .
Ich freue mich darauf und hoffe es werden weitere Nutzer von Lemmy dabei sein.
Lemmy ist wie ein föderiertes Reddit aufgebaut: Der Fokus liegt auf Themen-Communities, in denen Beiträge (z. B. Links, Texte, Bilder) gepostet und kommentiert werden. Die Diskussionen sind eher threadbasiert und themenzentriert.

Eingeladen sind ebenso alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Misskey, Hubzilla oder anderen Anwendungen haben und ihr Wissen gerne weitergeben möchten.

Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse könnten anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, besonders denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind.
Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen.
Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse mitzugestalten.

Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Der Link: wird hier 1 Tag davor gepostet

Das Online-Treffen findet auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server statt. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome – ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋‍♀️

Der Ablauf der Sprechstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Zu Beginn geben wir Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Anschließend geht es um Ratschläge für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. Ein solcher Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Die Welt des Fediverse ist Größer und vielfältiger. Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.

Je mehr mitmachen, desto besser!

I guess I'm out of the loop. I had noticed I wasn't getting as many grouup feed posts. But, didn't check until now, when I find out that @a.gup.pe died. And now it's @fedigroupssocial. At least an alternative sprung up.

#GuppeGroups #FedigroupsSocial #Lemmy #Groups #FediverseGroups

https://hub.peoplemaking.games/2025/10/06/devlog-september-2025/#guppe-groups-are-no-more

So now there are:

@bookstodon
@writingbooks
@queerromanceclub
Are most Tooters using @fedigroups.social, even knowing the same thing can happen again? Or are they switching to Lemmy for groups? Is it a good enough solution?

@queerscifi @queeromanceink

Wir haben das Fediverse-Schaubild noch einmal überarbeitet. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an @imke für die Aktualisierung und die wertvolle Unterstützung. Hier ist die neueste Version des Fediverse-Schaubilds – schaut es euch an! 👇

Gerne teilen!

🐭 Real question:

Sometimes I read negative comments about #Lemmy or even calls to defederate...

Why do some people on the #Fediverse feel so strongly about Lemmy?

Isn't an #opensource alternative to #Reddit a good thing?

Tutorial On How To Crosspost: (expert users feel free to correct me if I get anything wrong or answer my questions about why I have 2 Pixelfed accounts lol)

#tiktokrefugee #pixelfed #loops #peertube #lemmy

Any of you fine folks go full Fedi?

I hear ...#Mastodon for Twitter, #Friendica for Facebook, #Matrix for Discord, #Pixelfed for Instagram, #Peertube for YouTube, #Owncast for Twitch, and #Lemmy/#mbin for Reddit.

Am I missing anything? I'd like to take a look at what is out there.

Excited To Learn Together! ❤️ #tiktokrefugee #pixelfed #peertube #lemmy #loops

📣 Happy #GlobalSwitchDay to all the brave frontrunners out there!

For whom February 1st came a little too soon, don't worry! Just try again on March 1st and celebrate Zero Discrimination Day in the beautiful #fediverse. Alternatively, you can switch on April 1st, as only fools stay behind ;) or join your friends on May 1st and put your ideals to work.

Help spread the word.

A Crowdsourced Photo Gallery from the Fediverse – the Open Social Web in action

Here are some nice photos from around the fediverse: https://home.scoobysnack.net/gallery/. That page updates automatically as new photos are posted.

How did they get there? Well…

People from all over Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy and more posted photos into these communities:

https://piefed.social/c/photography

https://lemmy.world/c/photography

https://lemmy.world/c/japanpics

… and a few others. Moderators curate those communities to filter out anything obnoxious and people upvote the best ones.

Jerry used his PieFed account to create a “Feed” of 6 photography communities at https://feddit.online/f/photos. In PieFed a Feed is a bundle of communities with all their content shown together in a list. Those communities can be on any Lemmy, PieFed or Mbin instance. In the sidebar you can see all the communities in the Feed. That feed can be Followed, just like an account on Mastodon can be.

Someone on https://piefed.social followed ~photos@feddit.online (the ~ distinguishes it from a person, which uses @ at the start) which created this: https://piefed.social/f/photos@feddit.online. (Following a feed automatically subscribes one to all the communities within and if Jerry adds a new community to the feed all the subscribers auto-follow the new community. But I digress).

The author of home.scoobysnack.net looked up PieFed’s API spec and wrote some JavaScript which uses PieFed’s API to retrieve all the photos in the feed on piefed.social:

GET https://piefed.social/api/alpha/post/list?feed_id=47&limit=40&page=1&nsfw=Exclude&minimum_upvotes=0

… and finally their JavaScript displays the images.

So the journey these photos took went through 6 steps:

Mastodon / PixelFed / author -> Lemmy / PieFed / Mbin communities -> Feddit.online feed -> PieFed.social feed -> PieFed.social API -> home.scoobysnack.net

I think that’s pretty cool.
