So I wanted to post a question about a #math problem, and I wanted to reach the widest possible math community on the #Fediverse. Aside from using the correct tag, my first thought was to find a #Lemmy or #kbin 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?

While UI tweaks definitely aren't the top development priority as of now, the header currently feels a bit cluttered and unintuitive. When @ernest does get around to improving it, here are a few changes I suggest:...
Tbh I think the #Threadiverse like #Lemmy and #kbin 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 #fediverse account instead.
Sure you can already technically do that from your #Mastodon or #Misskey 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 #linkaggregator 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 #Pleroma extensions too) and Misskey APIs, treat (almost) all #ActivityPub 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 #Reddit. 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:
You can add #AltText in both #Lemmy and #Kbin by writing the image description between the brackets
! [Put your alt text here] (url)
Also, when you upload images from your pc on #kbin there's a text box below (with the words "Imagine alternative text" above it) where you can put your image description.
Other things to take into account to be more accesible to screen reader and TTS software users:
Casing of multi-word tags: Always write the first letter of each word on a hashtag containing several word uppercase. This way screen readers and TTS software can interpret and read them as separated words. Otherwise it would read them as one big nonsensical word
#/LikeThis not #/likethis
Avoid fancy/special fonts (I'm begging you): special fonts cannot be detected by screen readers and TTS software.
Most of the time the letters are actually phonetic or mathematical symbols and the software interpret them as such.
Emojis are more accessible than emoticons, kaomoji and ASCII ART. Similar to fancy fonts with words, emoticons, koamoji and ASCII art make use of phonetic, mathematical, scientific and punctuation symbols to convey images. These are often read by assistive technology as the separated symbols that form the image, and not as the thing they're meant to represent. Emojis, on the other hand, have a text name incorporated that can be detected by these kind of software.
I don't think it's going to be a problem here, but wordle is a nightmare for Screen readers/TTS software as they can't detect the words and only describe the squares one by one. It's better to screenshot it and add an explanation of the results in alt text.
As you've all probably experienced and perhaps read, Kbin went through a rough period in the last weeks. Access to the site was down due extended periods of time and functionality (upvotes, boosts, comments) was compromised....
For me, the #SocialWeb is about news. Those I follow determine the river I see here, only their boosts deciding how likely I'll see a post (but we're not supposed to see everything). Hashtags should let me filter that by subject matter. Replies should be nested with the most popular on top. Keeping news aggregation (#lemmy, #kbin etc) as a separate service from microblogging (#mastodon etc) is a failure to take advantage of what makes open networks so much better than closed. #AttentionDemocracy
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>
It's so crazy to me to think that I was on Xhitter for like 4 years and had a total of about 120 followers, most of which were spammers messaging me about "stream graphics".
I've been on Fedi for less than a year and have 5x that amount of followers and probably only enough spammers to count on one hand. I love this place.
@knightdave Witaj Człowieku, jeśli chodzi o Mastodona to chyba mogę polecić pol.social od @ftdl. Obecnie jeśli miałbym rezygnować z tej instancji to tylko na rzecz własnej (co jest obecnie dla mnie nierealne) lub zupełnie czegoś innego niż Mastodon (o ile mnie zwali z nóg).
Mam też konto na 101010.pl od @xaphanpl, ale to zapasowe. Byłem tam przez długi czas i było bardzo przyjemnie.
Ale jeśli chcesz pisać dłuższe teksty lub udostępniać linki to warto pomyśleć na czymś innym niż #Mastodon, np. #kbin. Tutaj również polecam fajną i stabilną instancję od FTDL - bin.pol.social.
A jeżeli chcesz pisać bardzo długie teksty to może warto pomyśleć nad blogiem połączonym z Fediverse? Tutaj mogę też polecić #WriteFreely, a konkretnie instancję @to3k WriteFreely.pl (którą swoją drogą też jest na serwerach FTDL).
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.
A super helpful feature that PieFed (a new fediverse thread aggregator like Lemmy & Kbin) has is an "Add Remote" button on its communities page. This button allows you to get a community on another instance to appear on your PieFed instance (and thus get the PieFed instance to start getting posts from that community)....
Feeding #Threads trash into #Mastodon is the functional equivalent of when Tom Sawyer got the other kids to whitewash the fence for him for free. Only in this case Tom is Zuckerberg and his cohorts, laughing at the "Fediverse" rubes.
Mam takie głupie pytanie #fedipomoc. O co chodzi z karabinem i dlaczego każdy inaczej.
karab.in teraz nie działa, ale jak działa to mogę tam wyszukać sienbie i czasem nawet jakieś moje tootki i licznik reputacji sie kreci (cokolwiek to znaczy :>)
kbin.social moge sie wyszukać, tootki są ale repytacja stoi w miejscu czy li sie nie synchronizuje
bin.pol.social nie moge nawet wyszukać siebie (tego tutaj siebie).
I to tylko przykład, ale skoro one są do tego stopnia out of sync to czy jesli ktoś chce śledzić magazyn o nie wiem hodowli pasikoników spożywczych to ... musi śledzić fefnaście magazynow na wszystkich karabinach? Czy to nie powinno toworzyc na poziomie magazynow jakichs globalnych meta spolecnzosci? Czy wszystko żle rozumiem?
Ideas for organizing the header
While UI tweaks definitely aren't the top development priority as of now, the header currently feels a bit cluttered and unintuitive. When @ernest does get around to improving it, here are a few changes I suggest:...
OC Difference between kbin and lemmy?
Why do you use one over the other? Also, what's the deal with Calckey?
Cross posting norms and etiquette?
I still don’t really understand crossposting or the multiple link options on kbin. What should kbin users know about crossposting and linking?
Meta thread: issues with Kbin and their impact on this community
As you've all probably experienced and perhaps read, Kbin went through a rough period in the last weeks. Access to the site was down due extended periods of time and functionality (upvotes, boosts, comments) was compromised....
OC A Kbin flag
Could we get something like PieFed's "Add Remote" button?
