4·1 year agoThe two I see on a quick search are empty:
You can ask on !findacommunity@lemmy.ml
What I found is a few related to fountain pens:
- fountainpens@wayfarershaven.eu (moved from fountainpens@sopuli.xyz)
- fountain_pens@lemmy.ml
- fountainpens@lemmy.world
posting so much content can sometimes be a bit tiring.
Agree. What I’m doing (in case it helps) is, instead of going for quantity, go for quality and try to focus the efforts on a few communities that interest me. That way I am posting about things I really like in just a few places and it doesn’t become a chore.
I’m trying to get other people on my community to do it too but it’s not that easy.
Indeed, it’s HARD. This is one of the reasons I haven’t created a community yet, it seems too much effort-VS-results-ratio. I know I’m taking the easy path because I’m not so invested in any specific community. So thanks to all of you who create and moderate all the communities.
Some very good answers in this post: I’m aware of kbin, mastodon, and lemmy. Are there any other federated applications out there? : nostupidquestions, some random copy&paste:
Here’s a list of 130: https://the-federation.info/#projects
As well as Mastodon, there are lots of other server types on the Fediverse, for example:
-
BookWyrm – A social reading platform, an alternative to Amazon’s GoodReads
-
Friendica – A general social network with no character limits, sort of like Facebook used to be on its older interface
-
Funkwhale – Music and podcast storage and sharing
-
Kbin – Link aggregation and discussion, sort of like Reddit
-
Mobilizon – Event organisation, the Fedi’s alternative to Facebook Events
-
OwnCast – Video livestreaming with a chat window at the side, very much in the style of Twitch
-
PeerTube – YouTube-style video sharing site which uses P2P technology to allow even small servers to have videos go viral, as the more people view a video the more bandwidth it gets
-
PixelFed – Photo sharing site, similar in style to Instagram and Tumblr
-
WordPress – Independently hosted WordPress blogs can be turned into Fediverse servers using a special plugin
-
WriteFreely – Minimalist blog where focus is on the text, like a calmer version of Medium
…and that’s just some of them! If you’re a techy person, you can see more comprehensive lists of server types at FediDB and delightful fediverse apps.

I didn’t mean that I expect the same user to be posting all day. If different users send 1 post each, they still should have a lot of time for other things :)
That’s our only advantage over the big sites :)
Posted one there, good luck!
Indeed, that’s one of the most promising ones… and it still only has 2 or 3 posts a day :/.
The song is the only reason I’m forced to acknowledge that there are film adaptations of the book, but I have already ranted about that on the other comment thread :).
Posted one there, good luck!
My bad, you’re right, I should have added a small description (done!):
- !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee: a genre of retrofuturism based on the 70’s and 80’s (more info)
- !awwnverts@lemmy.world: cute invertebrates
- !weirdwheels@lemmy.world: weird vehicles (with wheels)
- !comicstrips@lemmy.world: self-explanatory
Good luck!
I don’t have much to contribute to that community… I had never heard of that game :/.
Good luck!
I’m personally focusing on non-meme communities, but that’s just personal preference.
I think you are right, but here it is where my knowledge falls short and why I didn’t write @pics@lemmy.world or !pics@lemmy.world. I think those would be user and community respectively.
Not an expert, those who know more, please correct me.
I think all name disambiguation is made by adding the instance name after. So if someone has the user pics in pixelfed.social, it would be pics@pixelfed.social, while the lemmy.world community would be pics@lemmy.world.
(not OP)
Probably this one https://lemmy.world/post/2653518
It’s the only one posted to c/pics from pixelfed.social in the last hour.
If it does, I should be able to post images on the pixelfed app that show my username as @adonis.
It cannot work as stated because there could be another @adonis accounts in other instances and the only way to prevent that would be to centralize all the signups which goes against the whole idea of decentralization. That’s why the user must be @adonis1@kbin.whatever as it is shown now.
Regarding the OAuth/JWT, again… not an expert, but what I understand is that that kind of integration is much stronger than the current system. AFAIK, it could work as you say, but that would make things much more complex for the servers; you usually provide OAuth authentication for a few services, I don’t know how well that scales with … hundreds / thousands (?) of authentication provders. But, who knows, maybe in the future it’s implemented in one way or another.
We should take into account that this technology is fairly new and people are still building on it.

Sadly, that also hides all your own posts, even from your profile page. Which is invonvenient if you also want to keep an eye on them.
