I have now found 1070 verified accounts from media organizations in the #Fediverse, but only on #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #Threads, #Bluesky, #Ghost and #Peertube.
Just one is on #Sharkey (👋🏻 @heiseBotti) and none on #Pixelfed, #Lemmy, #Piefed, #Misskey & Co. Are there really none there, or did I miss some?

in reply to Martin Holland • • •Media organizations typically don't want to post (only) to discussion groups, they want to provide a way to follow them as organizations.
That being said, @heiseonline@social.heise.de does sometimes mention threadiverse communities in its posts so they appear in those communities.

I don't see why a media organisation would use lemmy. Unless if it's via the wordpress or another integration.

No, it isn't. But that doesn't make something part of the #Fediverse, does it? Try following someone with a Peertube-account for example. I dind't find a way, yet it's still a part of the #Fediverse..
I'd say: Fediverse = "connected via ActivityPub"

in reply to Martin Holland • • •Disagree.
Because it does. And I am already following people on PeerTube, works just fine!
I've to say, reducing the Fediverse, its development, its history and many supporting different software and diverse communities to a protocol, is, to be frank, just ignorant for an editor of an on tech focused online magazine. You should know better in 2025.

in reply to Jill ☁ • • •And if it's not "just" about the protocol: Who gets to decide about the definition? The people on #Mastodon? The ones on #Misskey? Or Lemmy? And why not the ones on #Threads, which could be soon the biggest part of it (the protocol, I mean)?

in reply to Martin Holland • • •We are getting off track. I'd say, don't call it "Fediverse" in your original post, but e.g. "software using activity pub", if that is what you are referring to and if you don't want to be misunderstood.
Regarding the Fediverse and what it stand for as its self-conception built over the years by so many individuals and communities which widely agree upon, my above mentioned remarks still apply.

in reply to Martin Holland • • •In a perfect world, all media organIationa would have their own instances (tied to their domains) for each network type (threadiverse, micro logging, video, short form video) and these instances would be used for both content distribution (official NYT mastadon feed) and for validation of journalists.
The non-profit foundations that manage these networks could provide managed services to raise more money for development (beyond donations).

in reply to Skiluros • • •This is the part of the internet that we have forgotten. Everyone is supposed to be their own little island but they all connect. If I want news I shouldn’t have to go to Facebook, I should have to go to the news org.
This is why the Fediverse has been thriving by imitating monolithic platforms like Reddit or Twitter but doing so in a way that domains (aka “sites” are still all their own.
I shouldn’t have to go to Reddit to get to CNN, I should have to go to CNN to get CNN. CNN should not join Lemmy, CNN should host a Lemmy instance and have communities for topics and programs, and its users should only be people who work there. And that should all be federated out for the rest of us to interact with.
(CNN was the quickest news org name to type and I wasn’t about to use Fox as an example)

Genau so mit den anderen Projekten, mehr wurde nie versprochen.

Muss man überhaupt nicht, das ist tatsächlich der große Vorteil. Trotzdem gibt es Argumente dafür, zum Beispiel, weil verschiedene Dienste unterschiedliches ermöglichen: Zum Beispiel die hüpfenden Emojis von @heiseBotti

Nein, das sind unterschiedliche Dinge. Du kannst von deinem Mastodon-Account kein Peertube-Video veröffentlichen, dazu brauchst du den Account. Aber du kannst damit interagieren (linken, in der Timeline gucken, per P2P teilen etc.) und das ist der Vorteil.
Wer vorwiegend Bilder postet, sollte dafür keinen Mastodon-Account nutzen, bei Kurznachrichten dagegen schon. Das Tolle ist, dass alle trotzdem verknüpft sind. Die Softwares sind aber untereinander nicht austauschbar.
