#lotide — Public Fediverse posts

My main #Lotide account got banned from the #Lemmy instance lemmy.zip after I shared a link to #Grokipedia in their technology community lollllll

@fedidb well done and a good new contact point for interested people 👍

Good advice is certainly not possible on the basis of a single question, but it is a good start.
The details certainly need to be improved, for example:
If you select ‘Forum Discussions’ for ‘What type of content do you want to see or share?’, #NodeBB, Lemmy, mbin, #Piefed and #Lotide are then recommended. That fits well.

But if you select ‘Social Media Post + ’Forum Discussions", #Mastodon , #Misskey and other microblogging services are recommended, as well as #Lemmy. But not #mbin, which actually offers exactly this combination, and also not #Friendica, which can do micro-/macroblogging, but also offers forums/groups and events and federates best with both directions.

#Fediverse

@lnxw37b2 I’ve recently moved to @realcaseyrollins, because #Lotide is ceasing development so narwhal.city is likely living on borrowed time. As I’ve done this, I’ve interacted with more communities, which is leading to these sorts of interactions

Federation is actually worse somehow? The #Mastodon side of the #Fediverse is having trouble querying for #Lotide communities on narwhal.city it hasn’t seen before.

RT: https://gleasonator.com/objects/c327975a-5de7-4bc2-b399-27162abff6f0

So on the #Lotide instance I use (it’s basically an alternative to #Reddit), registrations aren’t open. HOWEVER I just learned that I can send registration invitations to people.

Ask me for a narwhal.city invite and I’ll getcha one.

@hurgusburgus There is also #piefed (https://piefed.social) and #lotide (https://narwhal.city) playing on the same field

Hey can conservatives make a #Lemmy or #Kbin instance again? I post from the #Lotide instance narwhal.city but it’s pretty boring cuz I’m only either posting about shows and movies on @[email protected],or I’m posting news articles by myself lol

I'm looking to expand my :Fediverse: #Fediverse experience since I follow almost entirely Mastodon accounts.

In particular, I'm looking to follow interesting Fediverse users, forums and sites (especially about music, art, or anything nerdy!) on:

#FunkWhale,
#Pixelfed,
#Libervia,
#Lemmy, #Kbin, and #lotide forums,
#Guppe groups,
#OwnCast and #PeerTube servers and channels, and
#Plume, #Streams, #WriteFreely, #Zap, and #SocialHome blogs.

Comment your suggestions and please #boost! :MOULE_Happy:

I forget who runs narwhal.city nowadays, but I don’t think that #Lotide instance has been federating for awhile now.

I’m noticing more #nostr users following me here. To y’all, hey, wassup 👋🏾

If you’re following me for news, like what’s going on in #Israel during their war with #Hamas, you might want to follow @News, as I’m super opinionated here but I try to stick to straight news when posting to that #Lotide community (it’s like #HackerNews for the #Fediverse, don’t overthink it)

There should be a way for #Fediverse servers to tell other servers that you can’t follow a particular user. Like a “closed followers” or “disable new follows” feature.

A really good example of this is that the developer of #Lotide said that he doesn’t want people to be able to follow individual users. I’ve tried to follow my account @realcaseyrollins, and I’m met with an “awaiting approval” message, despite the fact that the approval will never come.

There's lots of talk right now about how #Reddit alternatives such as #Lemmy, #kbin and #Lotide fit into the overall picture of the #Fediverse, with some calling these link-aggregation sites collectively the "Threadiverse". But how does #Pinetta fit into the mix?

Much like a link aggregator, Pinetta allows users to collect and comment on various things like links, text, images, video, and so on. In that sense, it will interact almost seamlessly with federated link aggregators. The main difference, of course, is in the user interface. Pinetta will have a number of modes that users can choose to display content:

- As a "feed" chronologically or ranked based on most engaging posts (based on favourites and boosts);
- As a "grid" similar to how #Pixelfed displays images in profiles;
- As a "masonry" layout - much like how #Pinterest displays pins by default;
- As a "mood board", which will allow users to arrange pins visually to their liking in a freeform 2D layout.

Like what you're reading? So do we. Give us a follow and star our repos on Codeberg to keep up with development!

## Making Better Use of Space

### Moving that old white elephant in the room.

There's been a lot of talk lately, and speculation, about the #Fediverse. Yet for the most part, only with respect to a single brand of server platform.

What I find particularly odd about that, is it's a rather lackluster server platform (especially considering the hefty system requirements) with an extremely limited feature list. Mastodon servers have a hard coded default character count limit per post of only 500 characters - more than Twitter, but not often enough to get a complete thought out with a link to somewhere else, or engage in a conversational thread, and certainly nowhere near what you need to post a news article, holiday recipe, tutorial, HowTo, or movie review.

As if a paltry 500 character limit isn't bad enough for this resource hog, virtually every other Fediverse platform provides for sensible , and configurable message lengths with common defaults of 2000, 5000, or more; most support #Markdown, and other ubiquitous text formats like #LaTex or #HTML, and some even have built in #WYSIWYG editors - like #WordPress, #Hubzilla, and #Drupal, with big players like #Imgur and #Tumblr already looking forward to their official Fediverse launches soon.

When those latter two giants arrive on the scene, the world of social networking will truly be interconnected, having achieved critical mass. It will be a revolution, a juggernaut toppling the deprecated, legacy monolithic silos that have so insidiously subverted and subjugated the masses like chattel. But I digress.

Other Fediverse platforms have offered the ability for people to edit their own posts for a long time, some for years, yet mastodon enabled this capability less than a month ago. It lags behind most other Fediverse platforms in several other ways too - groups, marketplaces, federated chat, and several other often requested functions are all but ignored by that platforms' developer while other Fediverse servers enjoy active and ambitious development cycles with new feature releases.

So considering it is so lacking in basic functionality compared to the other more prominent contemporaries, I've assembled a curated list below where you can evaluate and testdrive others for yourself. I've included links to some of the most darling up and coming projects like #Foundkey and #Quanta, that scale to thousands of users, and if you truly want an even smaller, minimalist Fediverse platform I've included #MicroBlogPub too. There's a couple of web tools including databases so you can search for even more platforms, instances, and compare statistics.

Choosing from the list below, you can join existing instances, self-host your own, or even have a professional #hosting_provider do it for you - simply pick a #turnkey provider where in just a couple of clicks your new fully managed Fediverse server will be online in only a minute or two!

There are literally free and privacy respecting Fediverse platforms to replace everything from #Faceplant, #Twatter, #Reddit, #YouTube, #twitch, #InstaSPAM, #Spotify, #Quora and so very much more!

And most are so light on system resources that you can run then on an old laptop or #Raspberry_Pi in your home.

Without further adieu, here's a list of [some of] the most prominent Fediverse server platforms in operation.

@hoergen Zum Beispiel die diversen Versuche, ein freies, dezentrales #Reddit aufzuziehen. Da sieht's aber gemischt aus. Z. B. #Prismo ist scheintot. #Lemmy ist noch am bekanntesten und in aktiver Entwicklung, föderiert aber weder, noch hat es eine stabile API. #Lotide scheint weiter zu sein und hat mit narwhal.city eine funktionierende deutsche Instanz.

Ansonsten kann man sich hier prima umgucken, was es momentan so alles gibt:
