A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Old, but just in case folks don't know about this...

EDIT: I was stunned at all the upvotes this got, and from a two-year-old article to boot! I hope I didn't do anything to overload their servers. When I posted about the Instagram/Pixelfed import tool, I was kind of surprised at how many folks that were on Lemmy didn't already know about Pixelfed, which is why I posted this, also from We Distribute. For a long while, IIRC, the Fediverse pie chart was taken up almost entirely by Mastodon (which it probably still is) followed by a small but visible sliver of Pixelfed--Lemmy hardly registed at all. Just goes to show how fast we've grown!

EDIT EDIT: I see that some of you were a little bit disappointed with BookWyrm, but I hope you will stick with them because I think they can be an important member of the Fediverse. The sense that I get is that they're stretched very thin, and could use some support, monetarily of course, but especially from other developers.

I've been meaning to check this out! It sounds so cool and possibly interacts with other fediverse things?

Yes it does. You can follow BookWyrm accounts from Mastodon and Calckey. At least that is what I tested.
