Fediverse@lemmy.world•How to make the Fediverse more appealing for following sports??English
2·1 month agoLiveThreadBot@sopuli.xyz did provide live scores for me during the FIFA World Cup. I did try to come out and comment on a couple threads. So a score of 1.1 out of 2 on this criteria?
See my comment
I use Threadiverse to mean Lemmy Piefed Kbin and similar part of the Fediverse, nothing to do with Meta. I selected this terminology to differentiate it from microblogging platforms like Mastodon, though they are absolutely welcome to participate by posting to Lemmy and Piefed communities. With character limits and other structural design differences I suppose it is just a harder challenge. If you have suggestions for another name to describe topic-based online socializing I’m all ears.
Through the 10th proposed category, I’m hoping to make people aware of that connection to the wider Fediverse with links to Masto, PeerTube etc.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What do you like about the fediverse and why?English
2·3 months agoI like that there are a variety of apps and services for different tastes and needs. On services, I like that Pixelfed and Loops exist to fill Instagram style niches for people even if it’s not my cup of tea. Jerboa is a no-frills Lemmy app and that’s how I want it, but I appreciate that there are many others with a plethora of features and styling choices that suit people, and are not forced to a single kind of experience.

I already wrote about what’s different back in Oct 2023 in response to a complaint reminiscent of yours. Most important bit:
That’s what you will have to deal with in the de-centralized model, and I think it strikes a decent balance of allowing open communication, resisting overall censorship while still allowing some groups to censor out what they consider bad vibes.







I’m glad to see you still are around, I’ll subscribe to that and save your comment, sometimes i worry if the posts are years old if the community is unmoderated. If I get into BAR again, maybe I’ll post.
