If you’re knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero’s aesthetic, you’d probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn’t neccisarily expect it to be easy

Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people’s CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn’t exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site

As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)

Suprised folks are suddenly engaging with this again, did something happen thats been putting this in front of people? Radiofreefedi has sadly shut down in the last year

The indie beat is now the same kind of idea, but I haven’t found as much stuff there I’m really into https://theindiebeat.fm/

Thats not because of transistor, thats because sadly radiofreefedi stopped operating sometime in the last year. The indie beat now serves the same purpose, but I’ve not found as much stuff I’m into there

Hope you’re having a lovely day :)

Yeah, I wish visiting a fedi site from an external link gave you a little button that said “select your instance” so you can switch when possible

Its definitely a ux issue that needs some care and attention. My android client at least tries to view the link from my current instance

Thats super cool!

Thanks for making this thread, I didn’t really realize it worked this way either!

When I’ve posted to lemmy from mastodon, you “@” the community, treating it like a user which is interesting. The underlying guts of the fediverse are fascinating lol

Hello ☺️

it’s funny watching people downvote us for saying hello to each other lol

Regardless of whether it has original content (of course it does, its userbase is massive 😅) it does still absolutely have a bot problem, and reddit has way more resources to throw at the issue than we do. This is pretty much all community built and run with donations.

I’d just make a new gmail, proton mail, or tutanota address you can provide with no other connection to other stuff 🤷🏻

The threadiverse really does have to be more guarded against spam and bad actors. The servers here are largely run by volunteers, and community projects with no full time sysadmins, fewer devs and moderators, and less fancy protections are a very appealing target for trolls and bad actors. If I remember right lemmy was actually hacked sometime early in my time using it and I think instances running a certain version went offline for a while while they tried to fix the vulnerability. And there’s a well known bad actor who periodically shows up in a thread with like 50 accounts and makes hundreds and hundreds of comments drowning everything out with angry gibberish

Federation combined with an anonymous platform modeled after reddit makes it in some ways a lot harder to ban people. So all his accounts get banned and he just comes back.

This is all managed by volunteers being paid donations and occasionally sponsor money. Thats part of what allows it to be independent and resilient to enshitification (combined with federation, and being self hostable, and free license open source software) but it also means we don’t have the same luxury of resources that reddit does.

Bonfire social seems cool as fuck, but I wish I understood exactly what it is a little better-

Am I understanding right that its more fediverse building tools for folks who run instances? Or is it a platform like lemmy, mastodon, piefed? Both? Something else entirely?

It feels hard to pin down what it actually is 😅

Nice!! Thank you for filling me in, I appreciate it ☺️

Weird…

Yeah, short form content isn’t really my cup of tea either. I’m glad it exists though :)

I think someone told me in another thread a while back discussing loops that at the time it was only like certain libraries and whatnot? I wasn’t sure if that was still the case, or if that person was right, or what 🤷‍♂️

I’m not an especially technical person so I don’t really remember details though 😅

What an absolutely beautiful headline

Sorry, I know getting lots of the same response can be a bit much

Hope you have a lovely day :)

Its all from one spammer who threadiverse folks regularly talk about needing to manage spam from (if I’m not mistaken about who it is. They change usernames all the time and I don’t keep up with their accounts cause I’m not an admin)

The mods appear to have dealt with the issue appropriately. For me it only shows 77 comments as the “count”, but there are like a bajillion deleted comments by the same guy

Hmmmmm ಠ.ಠ

Thats a super cool visualization! This might make a really cool post for !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world! Maybe a screenshot with a seperate link to the site

Thanks for posting this! 😊

Thanks! 😊

Hope you have a lovely day!
