"The Fediverse has its own full-fledged YouTube alternative that possesses some unique superpowers thanks to ActivityPub. In the previous article in this series I covered what it’s like to use PeerTube from the point of view of a casual user:

Today’s post will discuss: how to use the software as a video creator – and its advantages over video hosting platforms by Big Tech companies."

"The Fediverse is a relatively new concept for most of us, so today I'm covering what it is, why it's relevant for crafters, and how you can join! And if you don't want to join, that's ok too, at least now you know what it is you're not joining 😄"

This is a really good introductory video that explains the Fediverse. Very clear, good examples and for a target group with no prior knowledge. So if you want to recommend other people to join the Fediverse, this might be a good start. There are insights into Mastodon and Pixelfed in particular… but Lemmy is also a topic in the video…

"Looking ahead at 2025

What do I plan to do in 2025?

My enthusiasm for the Fediverse keeps growing with each passing day. In the coming weeks, I plan to write about:

• my experiences self-hosting with GoToSocial
• PeerTube (the Fediverse’s alternative to YouTube)
• The Friends plugin for Wordpress by Alex Kirk, which allows you to put your Wordpress site at the center of your online activities
• Mobilizon: a Fediverse project that helps you find, create and organize events
• Matrix.org: a Fediverse-adjacent open network for secure, decentralized communications

And so much more! There are several Fediverse projects like Hubzilla and Pleroma that I keep hearing about and have yet to try."--

"DOOM is a classic game to implement on a variety of platforms, but doompdf by [ading2210] is one we didn’t see coming. It runs a bit slow and controls are a little awkward but it does run. Entirely within a PDF file, at that."

🚀 A little guide on how to communicate with #Lemmy from #Mastodon #Friendica #Hubzilla #Sharkey etc

(this is the English translation of this German post: anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1… If something is linguistically incorrect or incomprehensible, please let me know)

Lemmy is a kind of forum software in the #Fediverse: You can subscribe to forums (called ‘communities’ in Lemmy), share links and participate in discussions. @Tealk and I have described it in more detail (in German) here.

On the one hand, you can follow #Lemmy accounts, in which case the posts will appear in your timeline and you can reply to them, share them, etc.
On the other hand, you can also create posts in Lemmy communities from Mastodon etc.

Follow a community:
The easiest way is to type the account name in full into the search or copy the URL into the search field. This applies to communities (e.g. [ät]fediversede@feddit.de) and Lemmy accounts (e.g. @caos is my Lemmy account) as well as to individual posts in Lemmy (e.g. feddit.org/post/201081 is a post in Lemmy).

Creating posts in communities:
You can create posts in Lemmy communities by tagging the community account
(It should be a public post)
If the community account is tagged with @, it will share the post and the post will also appear in the forum.
For example, this is a post I created from Mastodon in feddit's #Tischtennis forum: metalhead.club/@caos/112749905… ... and this is how it is displayed in Lemmy: feddit.org/post/556495

The only thing to note from Mastodon and Akkoma etc. is: The beginning of the post/the first paragraph becomes the title of the forum post, as Mastodon does not have a heading field. (see also: Instructions Creating a post from Mastodon)

So it is best to start the post like this (see image 1):

This is my headline (as descriptive a title as possible)
@community@lemmy-instance
This is the further text, link etc.
if necessary a picture (only in the initial post a picture is transferred from Mastodon to Lemmy, between Lemmy and Friendica all images in answers are transferred in the meantime)

Send post to multiple communities / groups at the same time
The post can only be sent to one Lemmy community at a time. If several community accounts are tagged, the post will only appear in the last one mentioned. If several different group accounts are tagged in a post, the Lemmy account should come first. According to my tests, it works in the following order: 1. lemmy community 2. friendica forum 3. a.gup.pe group . Then all groups share the post, otherwise it doesn't work with all of them so far.

Search for communities
You can search for interesting forums/communities either on an instance page or here in the ‘Lemmy Explorer’ (see image 2).
If you are interested, enter the URL in the search field and follow the account.

If you have found an interesting community, you can copy its URL into the search field to follow the community account (see image 3) or enter the handle of the account in the form @communityname@lemmy-instance (in Friendica etc. also with !).

The past posts are then often not displayed, but those that come in the future will appear in your timeline.
What is not possible from Mastodon etc. is to create your own community. This requires a Lemmy or kbin account. Otherwise almost everything works (except for pictures in replies, which are not federated, see in detail (in German) here).

If you follow many or very active communities, it can get a bit confusing, especially in Mastodon. A clearer view is available if you view it on the page of the community itself, i.e. open it externally in the browser.
(the original URL of posts is sometimes hidden behind the #Fediverse logo)

There are also other public groups in the #Fediverse, e.g. Friendica-Forums and kbin-Magazines, which work in a similar way.

edit: kbin is no longer developed, the successor is its fork mbin

"The famous inventor Zangemann lives in a huge villa high above the city. Adults and children alike love his inventions and are desperate to have them. But then something happens: when Zangemann wants to take another close-up look at his inventions during a walk through the city, a child hits him in the shin with the skateboard. That hurts! Enraged, the inventor makes a momentous decision... The clever girl Ada sees through what is going on. Together with her friends, she forges a plan.

This animated movie tells the story of the famous inventor Zangemann and the girl Ada, a curious tinkerer. Ada begins to experiment with hardware and software, and in the process realises how crucial it is for her and others to control technology.

An Open Educational Resource that inspires children to tinker and create technology."

Lyrics „Alone“:

This is the end of every song that we sing The fire burned out to ash and The stars grown dim with tears Cold and afraid The ghosts of all that we’ve been We toast, with bitter dregs, to our emptiness And the birds falling out of our skies And the words falling out of our minds And here is to love, so much love Falling out of our lives Hopes and dreams are gone The end of every song And it all stops we were always sure that We would never change and it all stops Wе were always sure that wе Would stay the same but it all stops And we close our eyes to sleep To dream a boy and girl Who dream the world is nothing but a dream Where did it go? Where did it go? Broken voiced lament to call us home This is this end of every song we sing Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go? Broken voiced lament to call us home This is the end of every song we sing alone
