[Update] Federation fixes

[Update] Federation fixes - Indie-verse

Indie-verse is currently hosted behind a Cloudflare proxy, which has saved the server a lot of traffic and helped protect against AI crawlers. After some careful consideration I also enabled “Bot Fight Mode”, but only after making sure, I had working custom rules that skipped every security feature for federation related traffic. But it turns out, custom rules can’t skip Bot Fight Mode using a free plan, which I only found out today. This has left me with no choice, but to disable bot fight mode for now, and it will not be re-enabled while we are on the free plan. Currently I don’t have the money to upgrade us, but it should not pose an issue, as there are other security measures against bots, that should prevent potential issues. Thought I would let you know. - ssnoer PS: we also just got our very first donation. Thank you guys!

[Update] We now use S3 buckets for image storage

A community for reviews/demo impressions/recommendations from fedi-users?

A community for reviews/demo impressions/recommendations from fedi-users? - feddit.org

I’d love to post some of my own impressions/recommendations of demos for upcoming games and I think this instance would be a good place for them, but they’re not really news and definitely don’t fit in this meta community. It seems like Lemmy only allows users to create communities on their own local instance (kinda makes sense tbh), so I’m asking here: Could we have a community for just posting our reviews/impressions of indie games we played?

Front-end experiment! Share your opinion.

Front-end experiment! Share your opinion. - Indie-verse

I am thinking of trying out new adding more official front ends for Indie-verse. Does anybody have preferences to which front ends to add? What is a front-end? You might ask. It’s an alternative website ot view the exact same fedi-verse content. An example could be mlmym [https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym]

Alternate frontends?

Alternate frontends? - Indie-verse

Many instances choose to implement various alternate frontends in addition to the main one, it may be worth looking into this in the future. For instance, mlmym [https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym] provides an old reddit-style experience.

Logo competition - Indie-verse

We are announcing a logo competition for our instance. Please submit your logo here in the replies or as a post on the instanfe and we will pick a winner! Best of luck.

The 4 projects are good https://socialwebfoundation.org/projects/

However, I don't see a manifest, there is nothing mentioning the commitment the involved companies have with federation.

Meta and Medium(!?) are part of the foundation supporters, are they committed to federate bidirectionally?

Yesterday I posted about the inevitable rupture and I think this will be the driver,

There will be the #fediverse and the #freediverse (you can call #indieverse) formed by people and not those companies.

Did this foundation talk with representants of other Fedi related projects? or they care only about #mastodon?

Projects

We take on several projects a year – focused on developing technology, creating technical and operational resources, or building community and awareness around the Fediverse. Our program area…
