@gracjan@fishcharlie@christianselig I recently started using #Kbin on first interaction it seems better than #lemmy, certainly has better integration with other Fedi group platforms, like Friendica Forums, Lemmy communities, Gup.pe groups, etc.in addition to their native "Magazines" @realcaseyrollins
@Veritas Ohhh a wordpress like program you can easily install on any php web hosting provider for personal use, I don't know why so many #fediverse software (#mastodon, #pleroma, #misskey, #lemmy) missed the mark and went with ruby elixir and the like, I bet those are the languages devs are familiar with
I am confident many software could be refactored into php code (friendica and hubzilla already exist) and it could really help speed up growth and make some people feel in control of their data.
@butter, @dessalines, I've grown quite fond of Friendica for that very thing, following things, not just people. Not only does it let me follow topics via tags, but things like #lemmy and #guppe get added as "forums", plus I can follow any #RSS or #Atom feed. All of these are added the same as adding any other contact (follow). All of these different ways of following things get listed in the same area of my account, as "contacts", where they can be easily separated into to multiple groups (lists). Each followed hashtag, forum, contact group, or protocol type is always listed down the side of my page where I can simply click on it to filter my current feed.
I know that other #fediverse / #ActivityPub interfaces such as #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #Misskey, #Calckey, #Hubzilla, and #Streams have some/all of these capabilities, each to their own extent. However, having played around extensively with all of them, I've come to find that #Friendica is the one that works best for me. And at the end of the day, this is the only thing that matters. It may be a bit time consuming, but trying all the things is the best (only?) way to see how they'll work for you.
I'm legit sad about the news out of #Reddit surrounding their API pricing. @christianselig has built the only interface for Reddit that a lot of users will ever willingly use. I hope a fedi alternative (I’ve seen posts about #lemmy, need to check it out) can scale up fast enough, the way Mastodon did, to fill that void for folks.
I just had a bit of a look at kbin.social and I have to say, kbin looks really impressive!
If you've never heard of kbin, it's a fediverse platform specifically focusing on groups. Broadly speaking, similar to lemmy, the goal is to create a fediverse take on the reddit experience. However, kbin also integrates fediverse groups like gup.pe, chirp and friendica groups, and that is a killer feature as far as I'm concerned!
We've been running a lemmy instance for a few months now, but it might be time to look at spinning up our own kbin instance too!
Despite having worked with the Misskey codebase for almost a year and a half at this point, there's still so much I don't know about it. It's a massive project filled with years of legacy code... it's a weird feeling. Excited to scrap the old backend and start fresh.
Das ist aktuell vielleicht wirklich gar keine so schlechte Idee!
Ich empfehle hier sowieso jedem ein Matrix oder XMPP Konto anzulegen und das im Profil als DM Adresse zu hinterlegen.
@tower das wurde hier schon oft vorgeschlagen, aber bis jetzt, außer bei #Lemmy, noch von keinem Entwickler einer Fediverse Plattform aufgegriffen.
Noch besser wäre es natürlich, wenn man jedes Konto unter der gleichen Adresse auch per Matrix erreicht werden kann, aber das würde natürlich alles viel komplexer machen, weshalb das so vermutlich nicht kommen wird.
I've done my #Sunday#server updates. I'm still fiddling around with #DockerSwarm some, but most everything is back to how it was before moving over to that.
I’ve also been working on deploying a #Lemmy instance. Just waiting for my Docker Hub 🐳 pull limit to reset…😒
I would like to endorse other minor web apps in the #Fediverse, but most of them are full of UI glitches, are incomplete and downright buggy looking odd things.
From my designer point of view #Mastodon and #Pixelfed are the only effective ones, because they speak to people who are used to proper visual design language (read: Non-nerds, non-engineers, the regular people and design oriented people).
Things like #BookWyrm, #Lemmy, #Friendica and newer niche apps cause reactions like: "What is this?", they look like back end is fine but nobody is in charge of the design and the UI has no direction whatsoever. It's the general culprit in the programming world: A back end developer thinks everything is fine when we add a CSS framework and that's that.
If we just get the UI right everywhere, we get more people to the #Fediverse. I just wish there was more #CSS/design people willing to contribute. #UI#UIDesign
@mitexleo I would like to contribute to many things. But I have limited time and energy, so I just focus on the things that I myself use and are the easiests, to save myself from burning out. Right now the #MastodonBirdUI is my sole focus and perhaps later the #Mastodon CSS/UI in general. #Lemmy is out of scope time/energy-wise for me right now.
I too hope that more excited #CSS people have motivation and time to help, but I'm well aware of the fact that all the good ones are overworked and busy with projects they make money from, me included. But one can hope. :bunhdlurkaww:
I don't know the ins and outs of Channels, but would just like to point to the #Fediverse Enhancements Proposals. If Channels require new mechanisms it would be best to accompany their federation support in #CalcKey with a well-documented #FEP.
Hmm I'm considering moving away from #Lotide relatively soon. It's okay, but a bit barebones, and there hasn't been much development over the past year or two.
Only question is, do I switch to #Lemmy, or #Kbin? I've been against #Lemmy for awhile but now they made the word blacklist optional.
Is it just me or have discussions on #Lemmy / #Kbin (aka Reddit-like corner of fedi) become longer and deeper since #Reddit started doing a stupid with third-party client API?
