fediverse

<p>I found this cool <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> software called <a href="/tags/neodb/" rel="tag">#NeoDB</a> via <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dansup" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>dansup</span></a></span> &#x27;s awesome FediDB website.</p><p><a href="https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&amp;registration=open" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&amp;registration=open"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedidb.com/software/neodb?vers</span><span class="invisible">ion=latest&amp;registration=open</span></a></p><p>It&#x27;s a tracking / shelf platform for <a href="/tags/tv/" rel="tag">#TV</a> / <a href="/tags/drama/" rel="tag">#drama</a>, <a href="/tags/movies/" rel="tag">#movies</a> / <a href="/tags/films/" rel="tag">#films</a>, <a href="/tags/books/" rel="tag">#books</a>, and <a href="/tags/games/" rel="tag">#games</a> </p><p>Automated import from <a href="/tags/goodreads/" rel="tag">#Goodreads</a> work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn&#x27;t appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.</p><p>Unfortunately, the software doesn&#x27;t support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.</p><p>Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn&#x27;t exist in the database yet?</p><p>Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.</p><p>* Method 1: You can add the details yourself</p><p>* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items</p><p>* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB&#x27;s search box and it will import it to your instance</p><p>Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the <a href="/tags/socialweb/" rel="tag">#SocialWeb</a>. But Method 3 is even sweeter!</p><p>Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it&#x27;s a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don&#x27;t! I contribute to <a href="/tags/tmdb/" rel="tag">#TMDB</a> but I&#x27;m definitely not repeating the same effort in <a href="/tags/tvdb/" rel="tag">#TVDB</a>.</p><p>Secondly, there&#x27;s no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).</p><p>Check my accounts:</p><p>* Flagship server: <span class="h-card"><a href="/@[email protected]/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>youronlyone</span></a></span> <br>* Instance: <span class="h-card"><a href="https://eggplant.place/@youronlyone/" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>[email protected]</span></a></span> </p><p>~~Hmm… I haven&#x27;t checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest <a href="/tags/opendb/" rel="tag">#OpenDB</a> for music: <a href="/tags/musicbrainz/" rel="tag">#Musicbrainz</a> ~~</p><p>UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, <a href="/tags/podcasts/" rel="tag">#podcasts</a> .</p><p>🖖🏽🙇🏽</p>

Personally, weather plays a significant role in my daily decisions, which is why I decided to create a service tailored for the Fediverse.</p><p>FediMeteo uses Open-Meteo data to publish updates every 6 hours, including current weather conditions, forecasts for the next 12 hours, and predictions for the upcoming days. Each country is served by its own dedicated instance (e.g., it.fedimeteo.com for Italy), managed through snac to ensure simplicity and efficiency in publishing.</p><p>You can follow FediMeteo directly in the Fediverse (on Mastodon and compatible platforms), via RSS, or by visiting the dedicated page for your city (e.g., fr.fedimeteo.com/paris).</p><p>Currently supported countries include:<br>Austria, Germany, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, – with many more regions coming soon!</p><p>FediMeteo is hosted on a FreeBSD-based VPS, with each country isolated in its own jail to ensure security and scalability.</p><p>Visit the main site to explore the national instances and start following your local weather updates today:<br><a href="https://fedimeteo.com" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>fedimeteo.com</a></p><p>Happy weather monitoring to all! 🌦️</p><p>FediMeteo is dedicated to my grandfather, who every evening would give me the weather forecast based on TV, radio, and his personal experience.

<p>The Fediverse makes me anxious sometimes. It&#x27;s not always pure joy and bliss, especially as an admin.</p><p>Top 5 things that make me anxious here:</p><p>1. When people can&#x27;t just agree to disagree, but have to crucify others or report them because they didn&#x27;t like what they said - or even start a hateful campaign for it<br>2. When people endlessly nitpick and dissect otherwise good post<br>3. When the obscure and dark instances or nostr users find your posts and start posting hateful content because of &quot;free speech&quot;<br>4. When you get judged if you use the wrong word or even hint towards something that someone doesn&#x27;t agree on<br>5. When you make a decision in moderation and any decision pisses off someone - lose-lose situation</p><p>It&#x27;s not daily or often times even monthly, but it happens. I&#x27;m glad we mostly get along though. </p><p>Blocking, fediblocking, reporting and muting are the most important features here.</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#Mastodon</a> <a href="/tags/mastoadmin/" rel="tag">#MastoAdmin</a> <a href="/tags/anxiety/" rel="tag">#Anxiety</a></p>
