It depends on the app, really. Some will work and some won’t: My Danish digital ID crapped out immediately, my Swedish one works fine. That’s with all systems go according to the MicroG checklist.

My best guess is that MicroG does work, but some apps will check the bootloader and refuse to open if it’s unlocked as mine is?

Have you tried MicroG? https://microg.org/

It spoofs Play services to a lot of apps that (claim they) require it. MicroG even have their own Lineage fork.

FWIW, you can setup IndieAuth — on its own or as part of the IndieWeb plugin suite for Wordpress. It may not be quite what you’re looking for, but it’s a step in the right direction?

I think I understand the self hosted identity server part, and authenticating with it on different sites. But what is the federated element you’re talking about? What would that instance federate, and with whom?

If we’re moving into a single sign-on for several federated accounts, that’s cool. People have been asking for that for ages! But the identity provider itself wouldn’t (need to) be federated for that to work, right?

Oh, do check out the Indieweb. It probably predates the (term) fediverse, and the ideas that underpin it are well worth looking into!

Meh, I’m just thrifty. 4K is for people with high bandwidth or too much storage space 😉

Konstakang has made a ROM based on LineageOS. I’ve only eyed it myself, but it should be Google-free (unless you install G apps).

Usually I recommend KISS or Kvaesitso, but with the customisation you ask for, maybe Lawnchair?

All of tumblr is being moved to Wordpress software, and Automatic confirmed last month that it will also include federating posts.

If you’re on Android, try Tusky. It supports multiple accounts but focuses on Mastodon and compatible platforms.

It doesn’t handle Pixelfed very well (although that can be down to Pixelfed’s ongoing development), and may not support all of Friendica’s features, but you can definitely sign in from Tusky.

I don’t know how you define “most” or “core” here, but it’s certainly true that mastodon.social and its ~400K users remain federated with Threads.

A lot of instances did block or limit them though, and I’m not going to sit down and calculate which side is in majority 🤷

Not Lemmy specifically, but the broader fediverse (and probably mostly the microblog part dominated by Mastodon and its forks)

Exactly. See also Gab and Truth Social.

They’re both android, but without the Google services tacked on. The question is, how will the Android Open Source project fare if Google is forced to divest from it? And where does that leave the ungoogled ROMs?

Same. Thanks to an Mbin glitch “she” even sent me a second message from an account I’d already blocked 🤣

Yeah, there’s not that big a difference between Mbin and Lemmy when it comes down to it. Nicole is the Fediverse Chick, after all.

With servers in Europe, maybe. I’ve seen K&T pop up in search results, but they’re in Florida… But the more to choose from in the Eurozone the better, right?

Edit: There’s also FediMonster with servers in Germany.

I liked that little rant, and I’m not usually one for vlogger op-eds. Well said, Rudy!

Cool project! I hope it takes off.

One question, I know Mastodon has become a sort of market standard for the microblogging fediverse — but for people who just want a single-user/“vanity” instance, wouldn’t it make sense to offer something leaner like GoToSocial?

Because GTS is less resource intensive than Mastodon, that could then also be an environmental argument?

Advertisers can stake their PRE [crypto tokens] to a keyword, and whichever advertiser stakes the most tokens will have its ads displayed when a user searches on the term selected. Advertisers confer the most external value on PRE, so their success is very important to the ecosystem.

So crypto currency and advertising? Hard pass.
