Is nodeBB a generic old school PHP forum like phpBB ?
Added that one for now.
Nostalgia, they feel a bit more inherently organized, and slow Auster has an easier time dealing with linear boards.
No, you are sharing the section of the post where they point out the actions of a big brother state
Algorithms are the real story here, not platforms. A fediverse server can run the same recommendation engines that optimize for engagement over substance. What I care about is building systems where disagreement actually gets preserved, not hidden behind engagement-optimization. That is why I am mapping public opinion through email responses—people can take time to think before they write. No feeds. No virality incentives. Just substance.
Oh. So does an mbin client have SMS too?
What is an aggregator?
@ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com It doesn’t. It was just a comparison.
And aggregator is something or someone that aggregates, that brings things together. The fediverse network is one, for example, as it brings together the several sites you see in users’ IDs, such as Divisions by Zero, The/Brain/Bin, Blåhaj Zone, Mastodon Social, etc.
For some months now, I’ve been trying to set up an Mbin instance, since as it’s more manual than the other softwares I found, and I understand things better if I can see the logic behind them. However, trying to figure things out as I go, it’s so much stuff that I figured out instead what I knew was very little.
As I was also interested in hosting other sites, this made me reevaluate things, and turns out several things I don’t know, like how to host two sites in a same machine, how to handle horizontal attacks, what some tools are used for, etc.
So going back to the title, what to study? Maybe some specific book? Private classes/courses? Online tutorials? Something else? Just no university suggestion, please - from experience, they are extremely shallow at best.
Thanks in advance!
Hosting a fediverse instance is at the higher end of the scale when it comes to hosting. There tend to be a lot of moving parts as it’s complex software.
Host a static site first, just a bunch of plain HTML files.
Then host a Wordpress site.
Then host a fediverse thing.
A good hands-on approach with less risk is to rent a managed vps or shared webhost, and explore how they have it set up, and what you can do with it.
Don’t deploy anything serious, just Hello World sandbox stuff. Go watch the logs ti see just how nmany mots are looking for wordpress sites, etc. Use the softaculous installer, if available, to quickly mess with different app deployment.
Look at the zone editor to see how domains are configured, though shared hosting will be odd sett and limited by the hosting company. See the antispam and security settings. Look at how they set up email accounts, and mess with the database editor(s).
At each step, have a browser window open with reference docs. If you are learning linux terminal commands, I strongly suggest upgrading from basic man reference material and using the tl;dr webapp.
I have no job, so the gift cards I have are prepaid and only have a few dollars on them. I should get a job soon, but in the meantime, I want to run my own Lemmy instance. I know this is probably a stupid question, but is there a way to do so? If I run it on just my computer, it’ll shut down when my computer turns off, and there is an old computer my parents have but they won’t let me use it because they don’t wanna buy a new charger (The charger cord is broken)
Remnode does really cheap instances, but you’re not running Lemmy on their basement tier.
Fair, thanks!

Preface: I know MediaWiki isn’t part of the Fediverse, but the community is intended to be two parts (MediaWiki/nodeBB forums) and the forums will be federated. I could not find any active communities within the fediverse related to MediaWiki or wikis in general, so I figured this community might suffice, since ultimately this community as a whole will be federated through the forum.
Hello everyone, I have started on the journey to set up a community that focuses on open-licensed projects (open source/creative commons) where members can collaborate and network to help get their projects while contributing to a library of openly licensed projects.
The community is two parts: a MediaWiki & a nodeBB forum.
The idea is to have the wiki act as a hub to build/document open source projects, where individuals can contribute and help each other out in small ways, without necessarily needing to commit to a long term project - the community can work together to make small contributions to many projects to help the collective, rather then requiring individuals to formally commit to one or two projects long term. The forum is there to help people more easily communicate and network, and compliment the wiki as a collaboration platform/community building.
This project quickly got over my head, as it started out as an idea to create a forum to try and build a community for building up my open source projects. But the idea expanded and is now evolving to it’s current state. I am figuring things out as I go, and have managed to get things mostly ready, but I have largely relied on LLMs and forums to get me this far. I am not experienced in wiki’s or moderating a forum. I have found 2 other people who were interested in the project, so there are currently 3 of us that have been working to get this community platform up and running - but none of us are experienced in administrating MediaWiki or its settings.
The request:
I am hoping to find at least one “MediaWiki power-user” who can ensure we are following best practices, not opening ourselves up to vulnerabilities, etc. If someone who is potentially passionate in what we are trying to create, we would love to add another member (or a few) to our team to help ensure we are prepared to launch the community successfully.
In addition to setting up the community, it would obviously be nice you would also be interested in helping us moderate and maintain our community as we evolve.
I don’t have any expectations for commitments, as this is simply a hobby project - whatever & whenever you can help.
Note: this endeavor is purely a hobby project, and I am just one person who is trying to find a few others who want to help contribute - this is by no means a business or intended as a source of revenue.
The wiki has registration closed at the moment, since we are still setting things up (be advised, some of the content may be broken or placeholder text), but if you want to check out more about our project to see if its something you are interested in: https://unfinishedprojects.net/
I hope someone might be interested :) … and if not, I am always open to simple feedback or suggestions if you have any, but don’t have the time to actually help with the project.
If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to reach out, and I’d be happy to discuss it further and details about joining the team. I obviously want to be careful about who I hand out permissions to, but overall, I believe that the more people and experience we have, the better; as long as you’re a team player and want what is best for the project :D
Iirc NodeBB with ActivityPub active federates subforums as communities to thread-oriented forums, so once the forum is live, you could link the subforums with !subforum_name@instance.name, e.g. !fediverse@lemmy.world for !fediverse@lemmy.world.
Exactly - I am hoping to find some smaller, close knit communities that align with our own to federate with. The goal isn’t to create another instance full of news feeds and etc…but instead I want to try and build a community that is focused on collaboration and working to improve and contribute to the creative commons and open source community.
Just a PSA.
Sorry to link to Reddit, but not only is the dev sloppily using using Claude to do something like 20k line PRs, but they are completely crashing out, banning people from the Discord (actually I think they wiped everything from Discord now), and accusing people forking their code of theft.
It’s a bummer because the app was pretty good… thankfully Calibre-web and Kavita still exist.
what about that convinced you it’s nature?
All those boys were raised in a similar culture with similar influences regarding how boys should behave. You don’t have a control group.
Hey sorry for the delay, dealing with a lot right now, but I didn’t forget about it.
1 - Fixed this, the api key is now only forwarded if the destination hostname matches the plugin’s stored url. 2 - As I was saying, the allowlist is opt-in by design (null = allow all), and plugins legitimately need to make arbitrary outbound requests. Enforcing it globally would break the plugin system. 3 - Fixed this, it was quite simple 4 - I have added an env var (DEGOOG_DISTRUST_PROXY), if set to true it’ll make it so all users share the same rate limit regardless of their IPs, I left it as an opt in as most users currently running it are only keeping it private behind their own in house reverse proxies. This will be handy for a public instance for example 5 - Extension settings modal now correctly sends x-settings-token on save. 6 - As I said, auth is intentionally lax until a more structured auth system is added, may need to be a few weeks after stable is live, after all there’s no real auth and the setting password protected and private view should be secure enough as it is
btw all this is not live yet, it’ll be sent live with the next release ♥
Hello Fediverse,
I would like to receive some feedback on this idea I have been kicking around, and see if others might be interested in contributing. I have a basic prototype that proves out most of the technology, but not much beyond that.
The basic general description is an Iroh based identity layer for the open web. This platform would serve three primary functions:
There are many more details and features I have in mind that this architecture could facilitate, but this is the overarching basics of what I had in mind. I am very open to critique or analysis of this architecture, potential issues and limitations, as well as ideas for modification.
I would also welcome collaborators and contributors if there is interest, and I can open up the project for whoever may be interested. Let me know!
Iroh was more of the p2p transport layer, but it is what facilitates the authentication through DID to the local vault. The work you linked is very relevant and will be definitely be of use!

Hi !
Welcome to our monthly thread ! I hope you are well :)
Here we will talk about feature, ui, concept accross the web and app as :
- voting for a new mods team
- nomadic identity
- collaborative writting with color
- a beautiful ui, Swiping gesture…
- accessibility idea…
- a personal project ?
Well, i hope we will find something fun to discuss and share. :)
Heh, it’s possible to integrate piefed inside zulip thanks to integrations. It’s also certainly possible to integrate zulip inside piefed but that’s another thing.
Integrating zulip inside piefed is certainly interesting, maybe just an adapter of the piefed api over zulip’s api should be enough. I don’t see why the software should be checked though
Somehow i think both software are similar, very close to each other. Zulip only misses a server federation protocole :)
Right now to me it’s more important to improve piefed so that I can use its api without using too much resources, and with a bit more reactivity
Well if you have the skill to achieve that it would be greatly appreciated. The dev team would be very happy to have a new contributor 😁 but you should follow your dream…i hope more users will help :3

Trump’s Truth Social is based on Mastodon (even if with federation and syndication disabled), and the POTUS Threads profile iirc has ActivityPub enabled. Also wasn’t Germany that also adopted for some government profiles fediverse-compatible services? Or some other EU country. Still, if the neighbors and ideological allies of Canada already tapped into such projects, I’d say it’s no longer uncharted territory.
