I'm looking for a federated social media platform that allows for easy topic-based following and blocking, similar to how you can follow or block hashtags on Twitter. On Lemmy, you can follow communities, but there are so many that it becomes overwhelming. I want a platform where I can see or block everything related to a specific tag, and also view only the most popular posts about that topic, similar to how Lemmy communities work. Mastodon, for example, only shows the latest posts, which isn't ideal for trending content. I don't want a chat-like experience; I want to quickly see what's trending about a topic or what's trending in general, while being able to block a few specific topics. Ideally, I wouldn't have to spend hours curating a list of communities or followed users. Does anyone know of a platform that fits these criteria?

You don't need a "platform", you need a Fediverse indexer + search engine.

pumpkindrama@reddthat.com NodeBB supports topic based following, because it's a forum and that's literally how it was done way back then.

You can follow tags as well.

One of the big conceptual questions that's unresolved in the #Fediverse is: Just what exactly is an instance for?

tchambers@indieweb.social this, in a nutshell. The fediverse vid AP can support both A and B, and we can wax poetic about how one is superior to the other but both are legitimate UX decisions by their respective software stacks. I prefer B myself, of course. cc tommi@pan.rent j12t@j12t.social

Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?

PewDiePie built his fame and fortune on a centralized platform. I am not certain whether he will see the benefit of a decentralized future beyond dollar signs. Happy to be proven wrong.

I would say that Pixelfed is closer to the microblog space than it is the threaded discussion space. It's essentially microblogging except with an image media focus (or video, in the case of Loops.) To each their own, some people communicate better using pictures, some better over short text, some better over long-form text. There's a space for them all

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online while this is a known workaround, I don't think it's a tenable long-term solution. You can have "real decentralization" without the quirks, too.

This is a program that I've been championing within @nivenly over the past year, after we noticed that security vulnerabilities weren't being disclosed responsibly, and not enough research was going into the security of Fediverse software.

@thisismissem@hachyderm.io ah understood. I didn't quite get how the fund worked, but it makes more sense now (and is much simpler—organizationally—for Nivenly!) I don't think we'll add exclusions for security fund recipients I would say, though, that one of the requirements has to be that the affected software accepts the vulnerability. Plenty of self-proclaimed "security researchers" have filed reports, and some go as far as to publish CVEs (against our own software!) without our permission. Quite the opposite of responsible disclosure.

@reiver@mastodon.social apologies if this is inappropriate to ask, but has there been any thought given to speaker fees? I'm enthusiastic about ActivityPub and love to speak about it, but I'm not in an secure enough place financially to fly myself to Vancouver without some sort of arrangement in place.

@eeeee I believe LemmyBB was a proof-of-concept, to show that Lemmy as it existed back then was able to be represented in the front-end as a tradtional forum. But also, nutomic (who may have made LemmyBB? not sure.) is a busy person who has a day job and doesn't work on lemmy full-time
