Part 01:

This noob is testing the interconnectivity of the :

The word out there on the Fediverse make it seem as if all the different tools (Mastdn/P-tube/Lemmy/etc.) can interact with one another. But this is not the case, as some work both ways, whilst others only one way, or at all.

So made accounts & been testing for past few weeks:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
g)
h)
i)
j)

Part 02:

And just out of curiosity:

a) Using #Bridgyfed, to test between AT ( #BlueSky ) & AP protocols (Mastodon, etc.)
b) Meta's #Threads for testing with Mastodon.
c) Starting to test #Nostr with its peer-to-peer network.

TL;DR:

The #Fediverse holds a lot of promise, but it the ideal level of interconnectivity isn't there yet. (And yes, not all of them need to be able to connect and interact on the same level of details as with the others, as they are different tools.)

The whole idea of BlueSky supporting nomadic identities but the rest of the ActivityPub (plus other stuff) Fediverse being unable to do so is such an oversold idea.

A new service using ActivityPub behind the scenes (and not the AT Protocol) can absolutely support nomadic identities, even if the service doesn't treat a whole website as the actor.

It will still use did:plc, same as AT Protocol (BlueSky), but once done so, an application that understands how to work with did:plc can dereference an actor based on the DID.

That said, an existing service will simply not be compatible with this idea, without changing how it operates.

@manlycoffee

Beginners question: is nomadic identity the ability to have one identity and use it across multiple fediverse tools? (Pixelfed / Mastodon / Lemmy / Peertube / etc.)

Did some reading and that's what it sounded like, and that only Hubzilla supported it?

Or is this completely wrong. :emoji_squint:

PlasticParagraph,
@PlasticParagraph@mastodon.social avatar

@manlycoffee Ah thanks a mill for the explanation :-)

So is it basically the same as being able to move between instances as with a normal fediverse account, but your "home" name stays the same?

Ie. you could migrate from say "abc.social" to "xyz.social", and you would be posting from xyz, but it still shows as if you're on abc?

Assuming a user would do this if they prefer another server/instance's community, rules or federation?

@jupiter_rowland @mikedev

Okay woah, this is on a whole new level. Been trying Friendica and Hubzilla, but seems a bit over the pay grade in terms of complexity. And oddly enough, not too many intro/how to videos of them on youtube either...

Will have to do some further reading, as these two don't seem to be as user friendly as the normal Fediverse apps. And those were already a mind-shift when coming from traditional social media.

@bonfire seems to be down? The site is very slow in general ( @bonfire ) and have made several comments, but no responses.

Had high hopes for this, but seems to be a problem.

A lot of people have insisted isn't getting involved with the to embrace, extend and extinguish it...

... but even before fully implementing Fediverse interoperability in they're already talking openly about changing its protocols to add features like monetization. 🤔

https://techcrunch.com/2024/04/25/why-meta-is-looking-to-the-fediverse-as-the-future-for-social-media/

Text in a screenshot reads as follows: McCue riffed on the idea that fediverse users could become creators where some of their content became available to subscribers only, similar to how Patreon works. For instance, fediverse advocate and co-editor of ActivityPub Evan Prodromou created a paid Mastodon account (@evanplus) that users could subscribe to for $5 per month to gain access. If he’s on board with paid content, surely others would follow. Cottle agreed that the model could work with the fediverse, too. He additionally suggested there are ways the fediverse could monetize beyond donations, which is what often powers various efforts today, like Mastodon. Cottle said someone might even make a fediverse experience that consumers would pay for, the way some fediverse client apps are paid today.

@Threaded Oddly enough, can't sign up still, you can press the buttons, but there's no confirmation?

Tried on Firefox and Duckduckgo on macos, with protections turned off and on:

Hi Andew, as a current phanpy user, enjoying and playing around in your app.

Very nice and just want to check 2 things:

  1. There is no light mode, just auto and dark. Because when in auto and it is light, then all posts are in dark blocks with black text, so you can't read it.
  2. The good or bad vibes buttons, do they affect non-Agora users, or can only Agora users see that feedback, seeing it's separate from the like/heart button?
    Great work so far! 🙂

Hello! 🙂

Is iceshrimp.social down? See screenshot below:

#iceshrimp

PlasticParagraph, to fediverse
@PlasticParagraph@mastodon.social avatar

Did some basic testing.

  1. Curious about the abilities / limitations of the software tools.

  2. Found that media-focused* and aggregator** tools can post out to other tools, but can't follow them in return.

  3. Non-media-focused** tools can follow basically anyone, but can't post to media-focused / aggregator apps.

  • Pixelfed // Funk Whale // Peertube

** Lemmy // Kbin // Mbin

*** Mastodon // Iceshrimp // Gotosocial
