Basically it just displays a stream of Fediverse posts as they come to the server. Says it streams from “Mastodon/Fediverse” and links to jointhefediverse.net, so I don’t know what the sources are.
But it’s nice to look at!

Remember when Lemmy used Websockets? Oh that was fun :(
It wasn’t so much fun considering everything was broken all the time. Remember when your feed would suddenly update with about 30 old posts, pushing what you were reading way down the page? I don’t mind refreshing to see new stuff honestly.
It was really cool seeing comments and upvotes change in real time, but I understand it was buggy and terrible for server performance and I’m glad it’s better and more stable now.
Too many tabs, too many tabs!
Dark days 😬
For some reason the left margin is in the center of the screen for me on mobile
I think there’s a link to the github page on there, maybe report it as a bug?
Interesting. I’m on two Mastodon servers, one very tiny and one sort of medium. So every now and then I’ll hop over to .social and run a search for my fave hashtags and follow anyone who isn’t yet federated with my own server. With the keyword filtering, this could actually be a very useful tool for that process!
Ask your admin to subscribe to those tags through relay.fedi.buzz to get posts from all over. IMO it’s essential if one is into tags.
Thank you for mentioning this. As an admin, I will do that immediately! :)
Yeah I recently migrated server and we tried the relay thing on my old one, which did help a bit with tags for active events like #NFL or whatever. It doesn’t find anywhere close to everyone and tbh was janky and delayed at the best of times (not great for keeping up with live events, which is my main use-case) but it was definitely a huge improvement.
Haven’t bothered asking my new admin because it seems a bit rude when I’m new to the server. But now we can make lists of people that are excluded from our home feed, so I can federate all the things without it cluttering everything up anyway. Hurrah!

Looking at the code it seems to be getting the feed from the
mastodon.socialinstance’s federated timeline. So it’s definitely doesn’t stream “the fediverse” but a decent chunk of it.
