How do people against the #BlueSky bridge feel about https://rss-parrot.net/? I saw nothing but praise for that when it was announced a little while back, but it’s the same thing. It’s a bridge translating one protocol to another, meaning someone’s public posts could end up on a platform they didn’t opt-in to.
We will also be publishing FEPs to ensure that this becomes a standard that can be supported by every ActivityPub implementation.
The #mastodon team just can’t help reinventing features. It’s already a standard any #ActivityPub implementation can support. They could even jump in the discussion forum and work on modifying the existing #FEP If its missing something they need.
Yes, it takes time, but we are a very small team, with only one full-time developer for the backend
It’s wild hearing the largest project on the #fediverse complain about bandwidth/resources. They are, by far, the most well funded organization in the space. Maybe if they stopped ignoring every other implementation and collaborated, it would be a better utilization of their “limited” resources?
Authorized Fetch (also referred to as Secure Mode in Mastodon) was recently circumvented by a stupidly easy solution: just sign your fetch requests with some other domain name.
It’s not sustainable to keep offering poorly designed solutions. People need to understand some basic things about the system they're using. The fediverse isn't a private space and fediverse developers shouldn't be advertising pseudo-private features as private or secure.
Today, I added a box of related/random collections - I must admit that the ones you created are fantastic. Collection names can be repeated since they are user-assigned. I added the option to mark a collection as official - those with the highest number of followers in a given topic and with a specific name can be marked and...
I don’t think pitching #ActivityPub to existing social media makes sense. Adding federation to a non-federated social media service isn’t a net win.
You have to spend the time and money to implement it. Then you have to spend the time and money to maintain it. Most of the time, ActivityPub support is implemented as mastodon compatibility, not true AP support. This means having to constantly make sure you keep up with masto changes and constantly fielding issues with other implementations because you didn’t fully implement AP.
And after implementation, you don’t just gain access to a ton of new users, you have to take on the burden of moderating all of it (which is a persistent ant recurring time and money cost). And since the #fediverse has a ton of opinions on moderation, you’re always pissing somebody off.
And after all that, what you’ve enabled is an easy way for your users to recreate their social graph without your service. The idea of an interconnected social web is cool, and hopefully it’ll be the futrue, but it doesn’t make sense for profit-driven businesses.
What preparations do you take when moving outdoor plants indoors for the winter? I’m mostly worried about bringing bugs inside. What techniques do you use to ensure you don’t get infested over the winter?

I'm now decently convinced that the whole anti-#Threads discourse is fundamentally a moral panic
Moral panics aren’t based on reality nor facts
They are based on extrapolations, extreme speculation, a complete disregard for the difference in nature between facts and opinions, and some emotional appeal (in this case, the "fear" that #Meta would want to kill something as irrelevant, number wise, as the Fediverse)
it’s pretty frustrating watching a bunch of ppl “review” and critique #lemmy and #kbin as if they’re production ready software. A commercial silo fucked up and luckily there were #fediverse alternatives ready to accept newcomers. Point out issues but give them a chance to fix those issues before passing judgement based on the availability of your required feature
Who got together and decided what it was "supposed to be"? Why does the fedi.tips account consistently behave as though they are some authority?
Either it's an open protocol or it isn't. If instances want to immediately defederate, that is their right of course. But to my mind it sort of demonstrates that they don't believe in what they preach, and they don't believe that they can offer a more compelling social offering, even with direct access to Meta's user base.
Literally every repeated talking point I've seen around this is all rumor and conjecture. At the end of the day we don't actually know how this will play out until Meta's offering is launched and we see how they do business.
Also unclear where the "paid off" aspect comes from. The linked post doesn't say anything about anybody being paid.
There have been a lot of threads these last few days discussing the current feature-set of /kbin. While it's good to go out there and get a sense of what's the prevailing opinions are, it's probably actually better for the project as a whole that actual feature requests be lodged at the issue tracker....
Hi everyone, it seems that we have quite a gathering here, and many of you I haven't had the chance to greet yet :) As some of you may know, /kbin is still in its early stages of development. Every day, improvements and new features are being worked on. Unfortunately, this may result in occasional short downtimes. However, the...
Just wondering if enough people are here for posts and discussion about what people are creating for their table top games. If you are and want to share a snippet about what you're working on, that would be great!
The lemmyverse sounds perfect, but it ignores alternatives like kbin etc. It would be better if we didn't end up with the situation we have with Mastodon where people assume Mastodon is the fediverse....
Well, I honestly haven't come across anyone who uses it that way so I can't really advise.
I just feel like it's not so widespread to just assume we should accept that the "cat is out of the bag". We can just focus on correcting people, like we do when they conflate Lemmy with lemmy.ml.

Rumor that some Fediverse devs and admins had secret discussions with Facebook (mstdn.social)
it's an extraordinary claim, but i don't disbelieve it. has anyone else heard anything about this?
Collapse comment thread?
Is there any way to collapse comments and their children in the interface? Seems like a fairly basic feature but I can't find it.
