This is nice, but I think it belongs in a different community like [email protected]

Looks cool! I’d love to see local buynothing groups have a Fediverse alternative.

Out of curiosity, is there any standard or common format around location data for Fediverse platforms?

Wow that is nice, is it released anywhere for others to modify/extend?

Lemmy in general

Lemmy software doesn’t block VPNs, this is done by individual instances as a way to handle bots / attacks.

Your instance blocks VPN & Tor users: https://lemmy.world/post/11967676

This is so detailed, especially the ISP bit. Thank you!

It’s hard to tell what was wrong with that post without seeing it. At the same time, we’re not a hive mind. People will disagree from time to time :)

or they need a third party APP

I’ve seen this complaint from other new users. Is there something wrong with a lack of an official app? Would it be an ok compromise for the official project to recommend some third party apps?

A lot of these projects don’t have the capacity (yet) to develop an official app on top of the main platform.

As for the recommendations

• Pixelfed is a good alternative to Instagram
• Mastodon and similar platforms are good alternatives to Twitter/X

These are harder, or there’s not as much motivation for them. The projects are still going, but they’re slower:

• Facebook: a lot of people dropped Facebook completely without replacing it with anything. The only real value is private groups and buy/sell tools, of which the first can be replaced with chat platforms and the second already has a patchwork of proprietary alternatives depending on where you are

• LinkedIn: network effect is extreme with this one since it depends on where everyone else in your field of work is hanging out. Some fields don’t use LinkedIn at all already

• Amazon: I don’t see the benefit of having a fediverse version of this? Building tools that independent stores can use to stay competitive might be better

• Spotify: Funkwhale exists, but there are some concerns around piracy. Other options are self hosting or using one of the many other proprietary streaming platforms

• Cloud storage: there are a number of alternatives https://ca.purchasewithpurpose.io/category/file-storage/

Great to hear! I’ve updated the post title and linked to this comment

If anyone else is curious, here is what I found on the link

https://docs.hollo.social/intro/

Hollo is a simple, single-user microblogging tool that lets you run your own little corner of the internet. Think of it as your personal Mastodon instance, but stripped down to the essentials.

I see the original post got removed by moderators to prevent panic. Would you have an update that you can share in this thread? I’m happy to edit the title of this post too :)

Voyager works, although I don’t think it’s intended for Desktop use

Assuming you’re looking for Lemmy/Piefed clients, you might be able to install some of the front ends as PWAs. Photon and Blorp for example

Thank you!

@[email protected] is also on the threadiverse, and may post updates about this as it develops

Predictions

Showerthoughts

I had no idea Reddit invented having deep thoughts in the shower, or making predictions

🙄

Am I the Asshole?

Yea they can keep that one

What are the optimizations? I seem to be getting a worse experience vs. using it in the device browser since there’s no adblocking

The team wanted to set up here, but was held back by the lack of mod tools.

Lemmy hasn’t really improved on them yet, but there’s a revamped UI in the works. Piefed has a number of improvements already.

Maybe once things are looking good enough for their high standards, we can invite them back over to take a look 😄

Thanks! I was looking up Niiofetch but it kept giving me results for Neofetch lol
