Hey all - just started using kbin today as I'm not 100% happy with Lemmy and really enjoying it so far. I also use Mastadon a fair bit, and it'd be awesome to just use kbin for all my social media needs going forward, but I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a way to follow hashtags on the microblogging portion of the site...
Fediverse-Serie: Pleroma & Akkoma: Einfache Kommunikation im Fediverse
Pleroma und Akkoma gehören wegen ihrer Einfachheit zu den beliebtesten Diensten im Fediverse. Gegenüber Mastodon bieten sie default 5000 Zeichen und einige weitere Funktionen.
I am old fashioned in that I genuinely like client applications, which is why I tried 18 #Mastodon apps on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows. These were the best ones.
I’ve been trying out Blue Sky a bit this past week and it seems okay for the most part, but also insular and small. It’s definitely easier to use than the Don, though, which didn’t really make best use of its time in the spotlight tbh but my gut feel is that the Don will probably do better over time and even outlast it.
Still amused by all the posts declaring that "#Mastodon will never get any traction" because it doesn't have [insert completely unnecessary Twit feature here]. It's like people think Masto just suddenly appeared out of the ether six months ago. It's been here for years, and it's just fine. 😂
Basically, it's enough for e.g.
... authors, who wanted to publish their short stories here
... personal blogs (not just "#microblogging")
... business blogs (thinking of my employer, who offers online language courses and blogs about it)
some servers running alternative softwares that i can endorse:
blaha.zone (Calckey server for LGBTQ+ people and their allies and accomplices)
charcha.cc (possibly running #pleroma server seeming to be aimed at #Indian members )
Easy to miss in Mastodon's latest update, but the most-requested features are indeed coming "soon:"
"...quote posts, improved content and profile search, and groups. We’re also continuously working on improving content and profile discovery, onboarding, and of course our extensive set of moderation tools, as well as removing friction from decentralized features. Keep a lookout for these updates soon."
I feel for @nova who is exiting #Fediverse and fast paced microblogging type of social media in general (based on the statement on Twitch). I myself not long ago thought about leaving social media behind all together.
The "social" media today is garbage and often only leeches energy out of you, bit by bit. I wanted to rid myself from that. I wanted to come back alive. After leaving Facebook and Twitter behind got more energy. But no matter how safe, free and open the platform is, it can become a mental burden and insidious time cruncher. We must remember that also good things can be tiring.
Fediverse-Serie - kbin: Link-Sharing und Microblogging unter einem Dach (gnulinux.ch) German
