The old Team Liquid forums, still the best place to discuss StarCraft
And I guess if Reddit was ActivityPub that would be good too
4chan I guess. It doesn’t have to be 4chan specifically, I just want a federated ActivityPub image board
It’s not really that fundamentally different from the idea of Lemmy, the interface is just different but the idea of having communities and posts in the communities is the same.
The thing that would be tricky and would probably have the most friction would be anonymous posting since that’s where things get really ugly regarding moderation and user conduct, since a good amount are just going to be spammers and many others will be trolls and malicious users.
True, anonymous posting is very difficult to implement safely and would probably place a huge burden on volunteer Lemmy moderators.
Yeah that would be very difficult to implement safely, and probably wouldn’t be worth the effort since the Federated model means that signing up for an account somewhere on the Fediverse is much easier already.
Anonymous posting might have been a necessary evil on the early internet before you had all these Federated servers, but nowadays having other servers fills the role of granting easier access since you can sign up to another one where that process may be easier.
The only way of anonymously posting I could imagine on a federated image board would be to use an account on some other Fediverse platform (e.g. Mastodon, Firefish, Mbin, etc.) and to have the name of the account hidden for anonymous posts. That could maybe work, idk. Would be pretty cool tho
There’s already one, I don’t remember the name and is ultra dead albeit
What is the practical difference between that and what we have here? Genuinely curious.
I don’t know, can’t really describe it, but 4chan just has a different vibe. I love Lemmy, but it’s closer to Reddit than to 4chan.
The only thing that keeps me tied to any Meta platform is the Facebook marketplace. It is the de facto method of buying and selling used goods in a sustainable fashion.
If there was any alternative, especially a federated one, I’d switch over in a heartbeat.

I would love this so much, I looked around to see if anyone had opened an official issue for that yet, but I saw nothing on their Jira
I wish they had an official presence in the Fediverse.
I kind of miss seeing the tweets on the homepage and think to myself that Mastodon or one of its forked versions would be the ideal replacement.
LinkedIn.
It’s one of the last social media I have. Benefits outweigh cons, but I still would like to get rid of it
What are the benefits of Linkedin? Ive never seen anyone mention it positively
I found my latest job there. Some companies tend to mostly post in LinkedIn rather than other job boards. I guess it’s probably country dependent
It can be like Facebook if you don’t know how to use it. It can suck.
But I found all my jobs thanks to this website so I can’t complain.
I do B2B hardware and software projects. I hate sales and advertising but I will post something I’m working on about once a week on my personal LinkedIn. It’s amazing how many customers reference that stuff when I have my first meeting.
I’ve been wanting to create this but I don’t have enough experience making federated anything. Which parts of LinkedIn would you want replicated the most?
Just being able to see interesting job posts in my field and area
But if you would like to contribute to Fediverse project, I would say that the current link aggregator options would have more impact:
- if you know Rust: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
- if you know Java: https://github.com/sublinks
- if you know PHP: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/
- if you know Python: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/
So is kbin unofficially dead now?
EDIT: Huh, checked the GitHub repo’s contributions graph … and yea, nothing since the end of last year. Is Ernest ok?
By comparison, mbin has multiple significant contributors … nice to see.
Yes, that’s why I always link Mbin nowadays
Genealogy sites.
Is there even a genealogy site that is not owned by the Genealogical Mafia i.e. Ancestry? AFAIK WikiTree hasn’t sold out yet.
Booru-style Image Boards like rule34
Bruh
Forums, facebook groups (but not owned by meta), Letterboxd, Amazon (without amazon)
Lemmy is kinda close to forums and groups. But I do agree I prefer that format over the Reddit-like format.
i would have the entire internet go back to being protocols instead of proprietary platforms
I’d rather we just ditch algorithms and go back to it being random/chronological feeds.
I wish algorithms were opt-in, transparent, and allowed choice (whether by choosing an algorithm over another, or customizing parameters).
If this were the case, I’d have no issue with algos.
Strava. Sharing workouts, leader boards with friends, challenging friends on goals. Maybe even badges.
I wanna make a game that’s federated. No idk what that would mean.
Maybe each server is hosting a different area in the game, and they are connected by portals. Would need a way to transfer users and their inventory to another server.
Have you seen fedi games? https://games.rerere.org/
Craigslist / Facebook Marketplace
That’s a good one. The photomarket on reddit was the main reason I was hesitant to shut down my account. And eBay is way too expensive and unfair for sellers.
Second Life.
As in you don’t have to pay upkeep of a region/sim when you can host it yourself. But you can still rent/buy parcels on other user or LL hosted region/SIM. In the later scenario you would pay the hoster a regular upkeep.
There is OpenSim i think
@ChasingEnigma@lemmy.world DeviantArt - I like separation between art, literature, and regular status updates, and the ability to group posts in your inbox into folders by who posted them. Or, more realistically, any of the various furry sites that work on a similar model and have less potential for cultural conflict.
Meetup / events, the cultural calendar of physical events should be free from platforms! Facebook used to be good for this in its heyday, because of its wide adoption, but now they are chasing «engagement» and ad revenue, and is no longer a good tool for public, so the timelime is full of crap etc.
