I feel like this (#bug?) gets worse with every release. I really wish @Mastodon or #Glitchsoc would add a setting to disable "virtual scrolling" or wherever is causing this until it's fixed.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it might be related to long-toot collapsing. I've only noticed it on mobile so far. FWIW my default safari zoom is 75%.
Hallo Fediverse! Bitte um Rückmeldung + Ergänzungen: Übersichts-Tabelle mit Fediverse-Diensten, Vergleichsdiensten und Funktionen
Ich schreibe einen Artikel über den #FediverseFachtag und in dem Rahmen natürlich auch über das #Fediverse . Zielgruppe sind Leute, die wahrscheinlich zum Großteil noch gar nix vom Fediverse gehört haben.
Dazu bin ich dabei, eine Tabelle zu erstellen, in der einige Fedi-Dienste sowie deren Haupt-/ besondere Funktionen aufgeführt werden sollen.
Das ist der derzeitige Entwurf:
"ähnlich wie..."
Ein Vergleich mit kommerziellen Plattformen ist natürlich immer nur zum Teil passend. Ich kenne auch keinen der kommerziellen Dienste aus eigener Erfahrung, aber für die avisierte Zielgruppe kann so ein Vergleich vielleicht trotzdem eine hilfreiche Orientierung sein. Vielleicht gibt es da aber auch Vergleiche, die passender sind. Einige Dienste (bspw. Medium, Podigee) kannte ich auch noch nicht mal vom Namen her, sondern habe das nur aus ähnlichen Vergleichstabellen übernommen.
Zu den "besonderen Funktionen":
Insbesondere Friendica, Firefish und v.a. Hubzilla haben so viele Funktionen, dass diese im Rahmen der Tabelle nur exemplarisch aufgeführt werden können und die Auswahl ist subjektiv. Hier wäre die Frage, ob das eine passende Auswahl ist, ob besonders wichtige fehlen oder ob andere Funktionen wichtiger oder besonderer sind.
Wenn Ihr also Anregungen oder Ergänzungen habt, gerne her damit! Danke!
Anyone know how to fix adding a website to your Home Screen on iOS then making you re login to that site every time instead of saving it? I think I had this problem with a Misskey instance before and I think I solved it but I forget how or if I really did lol. Currently happening with a glitch soc instance. #ios#mastodon#glitchsoc
Anyone using #glitchsoc nightly image builds? I've noticed latest is pretty stale but is that because they have a lot of bugs to work out still? #MastoAdmin
I just attended a very inspiring #FnF23 session convened by @erikkemp on the topic of Fediverse governance. People from many countries, backgrounds and groups were present.
In my opinion, it's too early for creating governing bodies, and I'm not sure we will ever need them. What I find useful is covenants that instances can sign. E.g. digitalcourage.social signed the well-known Mastodon covenant <https://joinmastodon.org/covenant> as well as the #fedimins covenant <https://fedimins.net/en/covenant/> which is still a work in progress.
Wenn es freie Software ist, gibt es irgendwann Forks. Für Mastodon beispielsweise Mastodon Glitch, über das ich neulich gestolpert bin.
Natürlich musste ich auf einem Server mit Glitch einen Test-Account eröffnen. Spannende Sache. Interessante Suchfunktion. Anscheinend Volltextsuche mit der Möglichkeit, mehr als einen Suchbegriff gleichzeitig zu nutzen.
I just found a post where the media description doesn't federate into GlitchSoc. The original post has descriptive text, and it also has text when loaded into FireFish. But on glitch, the image has no alt text. Is this a known bug?
In #glitchsoc, if you go to App Settings -> General and choose to use Auto or Mobile Layout, by pressing Ctrl and + twice (to get 120% zoom) on a 1366x768 px screen, it changes to only two columns: a left one showing content and a right one with the sidebar.
What was the left sidebar used for toots now becomes a button called New Post that takes all of the space on the left now! It's so much nicer to write long toots in it.
The Feditext iOS client for Mastodon, GotoSocial, Firefish, etc. now has its own account on fedi.software! Please follow us here for official Feditext updates and announcements.
Hey #MastoAdmin and specifically #GlitchSoc peeps, should the configuration (on either the Mastodon and Nginx side) for serving media files from object storage on Glitch-Soc be any different from running mainline #Mastodon ?
** GlitchSoc new features on tech.lgbt ** Oooo ... nice to see that we have a couple of useful new features: any weird looking posts in the next week may be me playing around with:
Comment: I do still love [#Calckey for it's migration of posting history and 'Antennae', but for now at least have realised I'll wait until mobile #Fedilab :android: App supports it fully - which is supposed to be coming. Fedilab is so feature-rich ...]
I’ve seen a couple of tech.lgbt users post that #Markdown is now supported thanks to #glitchsoc but I tried the basics for bold & italics & neither were recognised. Any magic incantation required on that front?
One distinctive feature of the newly-deployed #GlitchSoc glitch-soc software in @tech.lgbt #TechLGBT now is the little "chevron" double up-arrows in the top rhs corner of each toot in the [#AdvancedWebInterface anyway] to collapse or expand the toot. So far i've been unable to grasp a consistent pattern of behaviour for these. Some toots are collapsed, some are expanded by default. I wonder why the inconsistency? Also, afaik there's no option for us in the Preferences area to set them to be collapsed or expanded by default. 🤷♀️
I've already boosted Jerry's pinned post before here but i want to take a quick moment and just put this out there for anyone interested in infosec / cybersecurity / security.
Infosec.exchange is awesome and @jerry rocks. If you are new here and are looking for a home away from one of the dev's instances, or are considering a change from something else you are on, it's a great instance and it's also running glitch-soc which gives it a bunch of cool features the vanilla Mastodon software most instances use don't have.
Also, if you do migrate, please if you can support this great instance!
I enabled auto-expand on cw'd posts (in regular mastodon settings)
In the glitchssoc settings I added exceptions (porn, kink, lewd)
If anyone has suggestions on words to add, let me know :)
If I got it right, this is for text, not for images. I think I'm okay with most text, that's also why I didn't include "nudes" etc. Sensitive media is still hidden (I hope).
(Edit to add: I'm also pretty curious to see how it's gonna work out on elk and yuito. Hopefully they don't just check the mastodon settings but also the glitchsoc additions! #elk#yuito#tusky)
All these “fediverse browsers”, like Lemmy and Kbin, are commonly referred to as fediverse software. (extra info: Wikipedia calls Lemmy, Kbin, and similar answers-type or Threads-type software as “Link-aggregators”.)
There is no “Mastodon network”. There is no “mastoverse”. There is no “threadiverse”. There is no “Threadinet”, or whichever -verse / -network people are coming up with.
Any software that is using the ActivityPub protocol is part of the “Fediverse network”. Just like how any software that uses the HTTProtocol is part of the Web.
That clear so far?
Now, we go to your question.
Q: I moved to lemmy.world and have noticed that lemmy.ml has been popping up as another featured instance. What differs from lemmy.world vs lemmy.ml? Is .ml more active?
lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are called instances (the terminology used to refer to a fediverse server/service). These two are only two out of many fediverse instances available. In paritcular, these two instances are only two out of probably a hundred Lemmy-based instances available.
What differs between the two? As far as features and functionalities go, none. Since these two Lemmy-based instances are using the same software, they have the same set of features. The only difference would be if one instance fell behind in Lemmy version upgrades.
Since lemmy.ml is one of two flaship servers of the Lemmy software project, naturally it will get the bulk of registrations and content.
For example, before the Reddit Migration, there were already existing communities for many similar Subreddits, and many of those are in lemmy.ml and are very active. So, when Subreddits started to migrate, some chose lemmy.world and other lemmy instances. Which allowed lemmy.world to catch up with the number of users and number of active communities that lemmy.ml already have. AND, some of these are about the same topics/fandom.
