@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
I'm trying to move as much of my online activity as possible to the #Fediverse, mostly because the internet sucks now, but also because I'm excited at the idea of users forming communities and sites of resistance on their own terms, free of capitalist meddling and surveillance. #enshittification#redditapi
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 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.
@atomicpoet@fediversenews Not sure what "comment controls" are, but #lemmy provides a "lock" action to moderators/admins of communities (which are like sub-reddits) which, AFAICT, prevents the user/account from making any further comments in a thread/post.
Like #Friendica, /kbin can ban trolls from participating in groups.
Unlike Friendica, you can remove posts local to where the group is hosted.
Unfortunately, the offending comments still appears in user timelines because other Fediverse servers do not delete after comments are removed locally.
Another alternative could be #Calckey which supports groups through "Channels". However these do NOT federate.
So the #Lemmy docs cover the essentials. Seems pretty good. A community has moderators specific to that community, who can also moderate over federation from another instance!
Also, it seems a user can be locked out from a specific thread without being banned from the community.
Creating a new community is open to all lemmy to and following one subscribes you to the group like with friendica (just in case you didn’t know)
@edendestroyer I have a stale domain that I've been holding onto for over 20 years & I'm thinking about turning it into a #lemmy server. I think the name is perfect: ThatInternetPlace dot com.
Back before high-speed internet &before DSL, when the world was on dial up, we had a coffee shop &added high speed internet through a t-1 internet connection in 15-minute blocks as a service.
People started referring to the coffee shop as That Internet Place so we renamed it to That Internet Place.
Will arbitrary devs fall for the argument they better use a patchwork of #FreeSoftware tools rather than one-stop-shop integrated development experience?
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:
Right now, I'm using @trunksapp and pretty happy with it: LOTS of themes (as well as @semaphore does but better!) and Markdown support (does better then @elk ) and many other features that I like and enjoy!..
No ads, full free, open source, glad be to be here :-)
The FEP was written and proposed by @nutomic and implemented in #Lemmy.
#Mastodon participated in the discussion by means of @ClearlyClaire but I do not know the extent to which Mastodon intends to be compatible, and if they will propose FEP's for their partiular Group implementation.
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…😒
