Funciona, pero no del todo si sigue igual que el año pasado. Nosotros creamos grupos/comunidades en (@detun3d) y (@detun3d). Hicimos otra para organizar partidas en juegos abandonados como hicimos en Reddit (@raidstream) pero las dos primeras quizá te sirvan mejor para experimentar y ver si te sirve o prefieres esperar a los grupos de .

I think the and federations pose interesting questions about what platforms can and should be.

Do we actually want blogs and feeds of blogs folded into a mastodon/microblog social feed?

Do we want to read and comment on blogs on mastodon?

Do we want all the diversity of the fediverse fed into a single platform's UI and hope that it works well?

Are we worried that some choices by our platform or instance admin might hinder this process?

I'm rather skeptical.

vetehinen,

@Loukas the main issues I've found with it:

  • the way a community just shows up as boosts of all posts and replies to them is just not a great way to represent them here, I believe there are multiple ways this experience could be improved from either side. Already somewhat better with platforms/clients that always show the parent post that is being replied to

  • in order to post (a reply) to a Lemmy community from (etc.) you need to know you have to mention the community by name which doesn't happen automatically

  • for a top-level post in to a community there are formatting rules like making the first line of the content the title

  • Lemmy content discoverability is poor on Mastodon because hashtags aren't really a thing for it

Not all of these have to be fixed to make federation useful and to me it doesn't seem like the biggest issues are insurmountable at all... do you have others in mind or have reasons why these cannot be improved?

So I wanted to post a question about a problem, and I wanted to reach the widest possible math community on the . Aside from using the correct tag, my first thought was to find a or community/magazine to cc in the post. And … there isn't one. There's many. Just from a quick search I found
https://lemmy.ml/c/mathematics
https://lemmy.ml/c/math
https://kbin.social/m/math
so now the question becomes … should I cross post to all of them? Or is that poor form?

Weird Lemmy thing… I appear to be able to create a post for KDE@lemmy.kde.social, but if I subscribe to it, the sub is pending.

Is my post pending? Is it going to vanish into the ether? Can anyone (ie, bots) post there without subscribing?

I'm on the programming.dev instance if that matters. 🤷

Tbh I think the like and would make a lot more sense if they were simply frontends and perhaps a backend too but just for the forums themselves. IOW, no accounts live in Lemmy or kbin, all users post from their preferred account instead.

Sure you can already technically do that from your or or whatever fedi you're in, but that means using whatever app you're on right now, which almost certainly means it's not a UI. Not ideal at all.

If I had any good programming skills I'd make it so that the link aggregator is merely a client that uses the Mastodon (with extensions too) and Misskey APIs, treat (almost) all actors as their own forums or subs, and each post would be a boost from said actor. Users authenticate from their preferred fedi account. Voting would be tallied by few special actors, which internally receive votes via direct messages (the app will make this transparent, but this also means you can technically vote without the app if you know the exact command), which will effectively make votes secret to non-admins like in . Users can also choose which vote counters they want to rely from.

This would make the fediverse-powered link aggregator very flexible and minimal, imo. It may look janky but that's the general idea I have. ​:seija_coffee:​

As far as I can see, Perma Computing community is too focused on the artistic aspect of computing. Which hardly covers the most energy intensive, ubiquitous parts of the computing world.

Unless the conversation is taken to tackle higher impact fields, the output of the community is more like the conceptual fashion shows:
a vanity demonstration. A limited proof of concept.

Such a disappointing realization.

To make clear at the start: I do not intend to denigrate anyone with this post, or anyone's efforts. I have a genuine question which has puzzled me since I first went off to explore Lemmy and Pixelfed.

What purpose do people think that they serve in the Fediverse?

When I first asked, people told me that Lemmy served as an alternative to Reddit and indeed lemmy.world describes itself as "the World's Internet Frontpage". But Reddit exists solely because of the sheer amount of users it houses. Reddit stands as the poster child for user-generated content whereas lemmy.world has less than 8K users a day.

Pixelfed has a similar very-poor-cousin relationship to Instagram. If you have a keen desire for the world to see your images then Instagram will scratch that itch much better than Pixelfed. Posting your images here might also attract more attention, since the pool of possible viewers seems much, much larger.

The biggest group I found on Lemmy? Mastodon.lemmy.world ! I found several posts there like this: "[mastodon] is like making an entire post out of a throwaway comment. That's what I saw on mastodon, didn't choose to participate." At the very least this serves to demonstrate that different people have wildly different experiences on Mastodon because that bears no relationship to my experiences.

In the world of Big Tech people start new social media because they think they see a gap in a market, or a way of splitting off some users of a current platform into their all-new shiny silo. Here, though, everything can live alongside everything else, hence my question: what functions do Lemmy, Pixelfed, and others serve that Mastodon doesn't?

I think I do understand the function of some projects like Bookwyrm or Funkwhale. They have very specific goals: much more specific than "sharing media" or "discussing in threads", for example, both of which can happen in Mastodon. Their design highlights these differences.

I understand that I could well have missed the point completely here, and hence my question. I joined Lemmy and Pixelfed wanting to participate but the level of traffic seemed too low to generate the interaction I had hoped for. Did I look in the wrong places, or did I fail to notice the action, or did I look too early? (When I first joined Mastodon it seemed empty. Now it certainly doesn't.)

Let me give a concrete example. I have a fifteen year project for which I take a single photo every day. Should I post it here or on Pixelfed? What difference would it make? Does it matter?

And finally, as part of looking into Lemmy I explored a lot of apps. If you like Ice Cubes for Mastodon and want to explore Lemmy then I recommend Artic.

i would like to use as a federated online tree with different communities forming the branches but it's hard to take seriously when the userbase turns it into reddit 2.0 with literal crossposting from r/gaming; there are even communities using the same nomenclature as their reddit counterparts ("mildlyinfuriating," "nottheonion," etc). lemmy has appropriated the cancer-culture that it was created to avoid.

-Community: Infos zu technischen Problemen bei feddit.de 💻

Seit etwa einer Woche ist leider die Homepage von und damit auch die Community-Seite feddit.de/c/foss_de nicht direkt erreichbar. Das betrifft allerdings "nur" die Homepage bzw. das Webinterface von , also die Seite feddit.de
Die Föderation funktioniert aber und die Posts von/ an die Community erreichen trotzdem alle, die die Community (von Mastodon, Friendica, Akkoma usw. oder einer anderen Lemmy-Instanz aus) abonniert haben. Nur die feddit-User selbst werden ggf. weniger erreicht, sofern sie nur über feddit.de eingeloggt sind. Über diverse Lemmy-Apps oder alternative Frontends (bspw. alexandrite.app oder Quiblr ) funktioniert es dagegen.

Inhalte dieser Community sind bspw. hier alexandrite.app/feddit.de/c/fo… und hier phtn.app/c/foss_de@feddit.de auch ohne Anmeldung vollständig zu sehen.

Ihr könnt also weiterhin gerne Infos oder Fragen mit -Bezug an die Community schicken. Ich hoffe, die Probleme können bald behoben werden, ich informiere Euch, wenn es was Neues gibt!

Hey everyone just FYI you can post to Kbin and Lemmy from Mastodon and other Fediverse Micro-blogging platforms by having one line of your post at the top be the title and putting a mention to the specific community's handle in your post, works best if the mention is below the title. Also you can even attach images and they will appear in the post as an image (multiple images don't work as well sadly).

You can find communities to post in on lemmyverse.net/communities

Here's an example of the format that works best, even for non-glitch instances:

<br></br>[Post title text]<br></br><br></br>*(separate title and body with blank space)<br></br><br></br>[Post body text]<br></br><br></br>[Community's handle mention]<br></br><br></br>
