Hi ! I hope you are well ! Here is our weekly thread 😎

The fediverse is big ! Let’s share our small gold nugget found in the fediverse. :)

It could be :

  • A new peertube channel
  • An interesting mastodon account to follow
  • Your new community ! Yes ! Why not ?
  • An cool gallery of picture from pixelfed
  • A playlist from funkwhale
  • A text that moved you

Let’s dig together ! 😁

    I have been keen to explore the fediverse more, but have a paradox going on. I get frustrated by the lack of content and at the same time dont get involved for my own privacy.

    I tend to err and make excuses to myself, based on its limitations. Example makertube I like craft tutorials, the offering is dismal so I stop and leave. Piefed it’s not bad but repetitive and slow…so I leave.

    Any suggestions on helping me change my attitude to engage in a a more positive way?

      If you have the technical skill you can host your own instance and burn your user accounts often for the privacy factor.

      I grew up on the early internet. You always mix some exaggerations or lies into any personal story you might tell some where. 🤷‍♀️

      What I’d do early on is to check the frontpage for a given instance, where all posts appear, and block what I don’t like and subscribe to what I do.

      Also, since you’re on PieFed, you should have access to microblogging too, meaning you have access to Fedi Bridge, meaning you have access to some contents from Bluesky too. Just need to follow the bot and if needed, allow it to follow back at you: @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy

      Also also, you can have your RSS feeds as posts in your timeline through @birb@rss-parrot.net

      And there’s communities and profiles made specifically for discoverability, like !communitypromo@lemmy.ca and !newcommunities@lemmy.world. !lemmydirectory@lemmy.dbzer0.com is also a good place to find posts.

      As for not getting too involved for a sake of privacy, not much to be done on that front other than just following stuff, preferably with RSS and without liking/commenting to avoid fingerprinting as much as possible.
