I'm seeing across various instances that registration is going through manual approval as an anti-bot measure. As someone whose also run Fedi instances, I know how bad the bot problem is.

I do think invite links can get around this though. If we allow existing users to simply send a referral/invite to their friends (and have a tracker on who is inviting who), that'll do a ton to both mitigate spam registration and allow people to join quickly.

The more obstacles we put in the way of registration, the more people will be dissuaded and go away. We've seen it with Mastodon (and now there's this whole reputation of it being too complicated). We have a window here to fix stuff if we're fast. People will eventually forget about the Reddit API and put up with it if we don't offer a compelling alternative when the iron is hot.

I'm considering making a GitHub issue, if anyone has any thoughts or plans to work on it, let me know. I have a decent amount of connections on the Fedi and if enough people are serious about getting this ASAP, I can help out with the logistics/coordination.

Today, we are taking the first step in building out an initiative to create opportunities for people to help build the Fediverse and create an organizational structure which can allow developers to coordinate their efforts where most needed.

We call upon anyone with both the skills and motivation to join us and the Guild we are starting, Guild Alpha. Read the announcement linked to learn more and find out how you can participate!

If anything discussed here has your interest or you want to help grow free-software and the Fediverse, fill out this form to let us know!

A discussion on the recent incidents in which climate protestors targeted some paintings, as part of a larger conversation on direct action and bureaucracy.

A tutorial on how to edit videos in a fashion where you can draw over them.

Found this while going through Funkwhale, some pretty good songs here and also from the artist in general.

This place hasn't gotten much activity and it looks like the admin hasn't been active for years. I've started another community at [email protected] (although it probably would've been wiser to just request ownership of this one but too late now.)

If you want to promote your own stuff, I'd recommend doing so there.

Gonna continue to seed the community with some of my posts periodically to keep activity going. If you have content you'd like to share or thoughts on existing content, make sure to post!

Issue #1 in a series of mine where I review Fediverse content to help highlight creators. From a few years back, will probably post these periodically to help get the community rolling.
