I've got a few of the Trans Pride's interesting in learning about the Fediverse. Instead of making a video like I said a few days ago I think the easier option at this stage is to make a few written documents.
An Essay explaining what the Fediverse is, How to join it and why you should care.
A Presintation for me to show off in Meetings, Calls and in person to expalin it to someone who doesn't want to read the documents.
Optional: Make a video to explain it, so I can send it to people but this is the last thing I will most likely do for this.
Have you even tried #Piefed? Piefed.social is:
"A lemmy/kbin clone written in Python with Flask.
-Clean, simple code that is easy to understand and contribute to. No fancy design patterns or algorithms.
-Easy setup, easy to manage - few dependencies and extra software required.
-AGPL.
-First class moderation tools."
It's actually really quite nice, and I don't hear much noise about it. Go give this project a look at https://piefed.social.
Activitypub or Atproto ... one item that both Mastodon have in common with Bluesky is amount of "spam" links and accounts boosting those "spammy" accounts
Several "award winning art / photo" profiles I saw had 5 or more links including their pinned post
Win goes to Bluesky since they seem to have better control of that ... for now
@okpierre Pixelfed can successfully fetch threads accounts and posts, however there is a bug preventing the search from properly resolving threads accounts. I'm working on a fix.
@shalien afaik all the problems with #lemmy are problems with the #fediverse. It would have worked just fine if it was an unfederated open source reddit clone.
@robotalien My issues are linked to how Lemmy ui communicate with the backend. Nothing related to the fedi and my post was more of a joke than anything else.
Over 8 months ago now, I started using the Fediverse, messing around with different instances.
I'm glad I've found a pretty good instance of Mastodon.social instead of using Lemmy, Kbin / Mbin or other things like PixelFed.
I'm not saying I'll not use these in the future, but I want a main account for the Fediverse to help bring family and friends in as well as learn the basics & complex parts of the fediverse.
