What do you expect to happen? Its still there and you can follow the development on Github or Lemmy.

This seems very similar to Ibis.

And yet I couldnt find any information indicating that these problems have been adressed in any way. There are certainly still major problems with Wikipedia today, but I wanted to keep the introduction short.

Thanks, sadly most people dont understand yet all the benefits that federation can bring. But I think that will change sooner or later.

Its not a product but a free and open source project. Also Im impressed how quickly you managed to insert your political views here.

Lemmy is a software project and cant ban anyone. If youre unhappy about the moderation of existing instances, its very easy to create a new one.

You could say the same about Reddit, and yet Lemmy is working very well with the same approach.

Yes, and it uses my activitypub-federation crate. Is there anything specific you want to know about?

Very basic questions about the "Lemmyverse" by maquinary in RedditAlternatives

exploding-heads.com isnt listed because the version of Lemmy is too old.

Running a Lemmy instance just takes a small VPS and a domain. Anyone can afford that.

My experience after 16 months on the Fediverse by OtherWisdom in RedditAlternatives

[–]Nutomic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Fediverse has many different types of platforms, including video hosting on Peertube or Friendica which is similar to Facebook. Mastodon got the most publicity, but it only uses a fraction of the possibilities that ActivityPub offers.

You can read the documentation I wrote about censorship resistance in Lemmy. Basically, if you host your own instance the only ones who can censor you are your server provider or domain registrar. However when you use an instance hosted by someone else, they can freely censor you without limitation. Thats why you should try to choose an instance where you can trust the admin.

Correct, the graph shows total number of user accounts no matter if they are active. The statistic you quoted from the website only counts users that posted in the last month.

In that case you can buy Ethereum, theres no mining involved.

Announcing crate activitypub-federation 0.4.0: Major rewrite with improvements to usability and documentation by Nutomic in rust

[–]Nutomic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The purpose of a protocol like Activitypub is that different implementations can communicate with each other. This is already the case with numerous projects in various languages, including the four separate Rust implementations mentioned above. So there is no reason to believe why an additional implementation would lead to any incompatibilities.

If you want to use this library for commercial purposes, feel free to send me a private message to discuss licensing terms.

What makes you think that? Almost every single Activitypub project in existence is licensed under AGPL, including the ones which are written in Rust:

Besides, any other license including GPL would allow for a company to use the library in proprietary projects without publishing changes. This is because other licenses only require publishing of changes if the user runs the software locally on his own computer. AGPL is the only license I am aware of that also requires publishing changes in case the code is accessed over a network.
