For the past couple of weeks, some of us moderators of the subreddit r/Silksong, have been working on an exciting project. We’ve created a lemmy instance for fans of indie games. We officially run and support this instance and the Silksong community on it. Please check it out at !Silksong@indie-ver.se

There have been a couple of posts somewhat recently asking what can be done to attract new users to the Fediverse. My answer was basically "make it something new people would want to see and stick around for". The crux of that was basically less news, less politics, less rage and more, well, anything else.

Is it good? Are there any better alternatives?

There seems to be a serious lack of a Discord equivalent fediverse platform unlike other social media alternatives. Most of the closest options are either too overwhelming in UI/UX for majority of people coming from Discord, missing deal-breaking features like video calling or are not federated.

Before anyone says it: yes, I know about Funkwhale.

i was wondering if there was a decent pinterest/we heart it app for the fediverse? i love making aesthetic pinboards and it would be nice to do without being on pinterest (which i believe is facebook)

Perhaps this is already implemented on one of the Lemmy variants?

Hey, I am curious, are people working on storing fediverse data off the servers? Like using bittorent protocol or ipfs?

Yes, I know snapseed is a mobile app, but that's the kind of simplicity I'm looking for. Pre-made filters, an auto-fix button, adjustment sliders, etc.

Hello everyone, I was looking for a good open source alternative to the usual services, any suggestions?

I’m active in circles associated with FSF and I often hear them saying research or academic software or programs must be licensed under GPL to prevent the work from being used in proprietary software.

Does anyone know of a desktop client app for Linux which allows for easily switching between accounts?

Dopes anyone know any good mobile app frameworks that are open source. I would like to be able to develop from windows, but move over to a mac (I own one) when I build for IOS. I want raw NATIVE ui provided by SwiftUI and whatever android has (material design I think).

(this is a bit of a rant, i'm sorry)

Libertorrent is buggy and progress get stuck in the middle of download, Navi download is abandoned and doesn't get updates and aria2app UI is awful (doesn't keep downloaded torrents) and don't get updated.

About a year ago, there was news about telegram downloaded from Google play store could block channels.

I think one of the devs mentioned .ml runs on a 16 GB quad-core VPS (dedicated?). the way it's designed, is it possible to shard or otherwise horizontally scale the server, with multiple fail-over instances under the same domain?

I got DAV server synced with phone now is there a good frontend to manage it ?

F-Droid updated seine Website und somit stehen wieder einige Übersetzungen an.#DE liegt aktuell bei +/- 80%

(proud of myself)

Hi y'all. I signed up recently and still getting acquainted with the interface. Is there any way to change/collapse the posts? I'm not sure I want this "feed" style of browsing. Something like old Reddit would be great. Thanks!

New user here, I tried all themes, but couldn't find it in my settings. Is there a dark mode available?

I'm not running to be the next red or blue Fuhrer, I'm trying to discuss topics online.

I'm thrilled about reactions and an glad to see them supported. Several clients specifically mention supporting piefed (Blorp, Summit) - and technically they do, insofar as Piefed's API overlaps with Lemmy's API - but I've encountered none which have yet added support for reactions.

In particular I'm not sure if my "woke cat" comics should have the box checked for future posts.

Does Piefed provide an RSS feed of your saved posts?

It would good to know which sites are blocked to post links from and the reason they are blocked.

Hello!

Tried to log into my account and it's gone just want verification as my alt is aswell. If I was banned I'd appreciate a reason if not oh well.

can we add an reaction emoji to be able to tag posts as AI slop?

If you go to:

Folks, are there GenAI tools that can be used like ChapGPT prompt? Basically, chapgpt seems to now require login and i don't want the thing to profile me. I'd rather train a foss tool.
