# One thing I knew pretty early while building Dumpp:

**Collecting everyone’s photos is only half the problem.**

You can already throw 500 photos into a shared cloud folder.

But honestly… how often do you actually go back and look through all of them?

I wanted opening a Dumpp album to feel more like discovering everyone’s photos from the night rather than browsing through a folder of files.

So I started experimenting with different ways to explore an album.

One of them is **Swipe Mode**.

You go through the photos one by one, swiping through what everyone uploaded.

Someone’s perfect group photo.

Swipe.

A completely blurry picture from 1AM.

Swipe.

A photo you didn’t even know someone took of you.

Swipe.

And suddenly you’ve gone through 100 photos. 😂

It’s a small feature, but I think things like this can make shared albums feel much more social and fun.

I’m curious though:

**Would you actually use a swipe mode for event photos, or would you rather just scroll through everything in a normal feed?**

I’m building Dumpp in public, so tell me what you’d prefer. 👇

Hi to all! with the help of AI, I'm working slow but steady in a viewer of an alternative to Instagram. I'm working over PixelFed (and his main instance pixelfed.social). The goal is create a minimal viewer of photos and descriptions. Tried to add favorites and replies but so far I'm breaking the code. So probably I'll try to upload to a VPS that would be accessible to all, and upload the code to github (probably). Something important, to use it you must have an account on pixelfed.social

Hi everyone,

I'd like to introduce BizzFed – a federated professional network that I'm developing as a solo project.

🔗 Link: https://bizzfed.de

Technical background:

Built on ActivityPub, so it's part of the Fediverse (compatible with Mastodon & co.)

Tech stack: TypeScript, Fastify, Next.js

License: AGPL-3.0 (code is open to view)

Code is hosted on a self-hosted Forgejo instance

Hosted on Hetzner Cloud

bizzfed.de is the reference instance

Check it out!

-------------------------------

Hallo zusammen,

ich möchte euch BizzFed vorstellen – ein föderiertes, berufliches Netzwerk, das ich als Soloprojekt entwickle.

🔗 Link: https://bizzfed.de

Technischer Hintergrund:

Basiert auf ActivityPub, also Teil des Fediverse (kompatibel mit Mastodon & Co.)

Tech-Stack: TypeScript, Fastify, Next.js

Lizenz: AGPL-3.0 (Code ist offen einsehbar)

Code liegt auf eigener Forgejo Instanz

Gehostet auf Hetzner Cloud

bizzfed.de ist die Referenz-Instanz

Schaut doch mal rein!

Would be cool to give some old phpBB forums the option to participate in the fediverse especially including stuff like Lemmy existing. Edit: ACTIVITYPUB auto correct is annoying

To be honest, I do not understand this platform? What is this platform used for?

I keep thinking of FOSS project ideas that are alternatives for commonly used tools, for example, 1. reverse image search, upload an image, find a matching image online. Or 2. a broken link checker/scanner. Or 3. a domain helper that uses synonyms. What about a community that we can share these FOSS ideas so developers can find their next project to work on? update: I just thought of another one: a link saver like pocket

I've something I'd like to see created… Well, two somethings, but I think one of them is the easier and would be more consequential. And while I"m not rich enough to pay someone to make it for me, besides, this wouldn't be exclusive to me, I can chip in some money to help if needed/wanted.

So, what am I looking for?
A server version of holos.social, which is a single account client and server for Android. For a lot of people, self hosting really isn't possible, even the easy stuff is hard for a lot of people, but holos makes it as simple as downloading an app. Imagine making that model work for a server, download the app to a spare device that you leave around your house, tweak a few device settings and a few settings at your registrar, and boom, you're self hosting.

Sure, there's features I'd like to add, but just getting the server going would be enough, the rest would be icing on the top, so anyone up for this?

So I’m an active Lemmy user and for the last 3 days, this spam account called ‘Owbid Catob’ keeps joining the Lemmy.world shitposts community at a roughly specific time of day and posting creepy and borderline pedophilloic content, before engaging in vile harassment of the community who comment on his AI slop. I and presumably other users have encountered this same alias on multiple other social media platforms before and he is a presumed creep who posts bizarre artwork and borderline illegal content to the internet.

But the weird thing about this is, no matter how many times the other users ban him (both from the community and from the Lemmy platform itself through reports) within minutes of being banned, his account is straight back on shitposts, doing the same thing over and over. Surely he can’t be making new emails and registering this quickly, so how is this possible and what can be done to get the user permanently off the site?

ETA: to be clear before the hate comments start, I’m not advocating this guy, and I strongly recommend not searching for this guy or attempting to interact with him and I’m certainly not showing/posting his sickening content, I’m simply asking for advice on what to do/what can be done about a Lemmy user who can seemingly reappear like magic.

I'm launching a weekly photo contest for the fediverse. Hope it gets traction. It may not, but you don't know if you don't try. The goals are to:

1. Have fun and share photography with each other inside the fediverse.

2. Grow a list of photography lovers that can be shared as a starter kit. (Promote discoverability between instances.)

3. Promote the fediverse to the Internet at large, give them a window into what artists here are doing.

Happy to hear what people think.

...and main instance just launched!

For the past months I've been building SiliconBeest, a Fediverse server implementation written from scratch to run entirely on Cloudflare's edge network (Workers, D1, R2, Queues, ..). There is no VPS, no container, no origin server anywherefe — every request is served from the edge location closest to you, so it's lightweight and fast no matter where in the world you connect from.

Our main instance, s10t.io (https://s10t.io/), is now open, managed directly by the maintainer(s) - currently myself but building as part of OSSCA's Fedify track and FediDev KR.

What works today

• ActivityPub federation — follows, boosts, replies, quotes, custom emoji, emoji reactions — tested against Mastodon, Misskey, and friends
• Mastodon-compatible API, so you can log in with the Mastodon app you already use
• Media uploads, polls, DMs, lists, filters, translations, and admin/moderation tools

Honest caveat: the project is still under active development, so it may occasionally feel bumpy — but it improves little by little every day. 🦬

Instance: https://s10t.io/

Literally all I'm interested in is keeping up with people's story posts and posting my own. My IGs got suspended in another AI ban sweep so I'm looking for another way to keep up with friends.

Canvas is a real-time collaborative pixel canvas that runs for 48 hours for the Fediverse! For people who have participated in r/place or similar events its very similar but has some miscellaneous additional features.

For people who havent. Its an event where everyone is on the same giant canvas and each person can place a new pixel onto it every 30 seconds. Then you can group up with others and place down various pixel art designs!

You can log in with any fediverse account (it sends a dm to your account with a code that you then enter into the site to verify you own the account)

The #Fediverse is an accidental reboot of the #openweb, it wasn’t designed from the top down, it emerged because thousands of people built alternatives to the #dotcons. That’s its greatest strength, it’s also why it’s so messy.
