The operators of Misskey.io, the largest #Misskey server is incorporating as a business to raise revenue as it struggles to keep up with the surge from #Twitter after the name change to X.
I hope Mastodon offers premium hosting in the future, which could appeal to large corporate clients & politicians as well (not to mention it would help bring in additional funds).
While the above examples can be used for images, Pixelfed was built for, well, images. It was made to cater for uploading photos ah sharing your digital artworks.
Meanwhile, Bookwyrm is best for, can you guess it? #Books! It features bookshelves where you can categorise your collection. You can also track your reading. Leave reviews. #Authors can too, if they want.
It's no different to comparing the old #Twitter vs #Facebook vs #Instagram vs #Goodreads. All of it can host photos and albums, but Instagram is focused on sharing images. Twitter for #microblogging. Facebook for socialising (or ads). Goodreads for books and reviews.
The difference? The latter are disconnected. While the former, the fediverse, are interoperable.
Thinking of moving instances cus I feel like ... unfortunately froggie.town almost never produce any #search results. Any #neurodivergent, #queer, #sex-positive related/welcoming, #misskey instances that produce search results that include #mastodon posts?
👉🏾 Company name will be Misskey HQ
👉🏾 Will sell software to make it easier to install Misskey
👉🏾 Misskey Admin almost went bankrupt keeping project alive
👉🏾 I suggest Misskey managed hosting as a premium option for the #Fediverse
👉🏾 Minds has been trying to join Fediverse since 2021
👉🏾 Minds is seeking help activating ActivityPub
👉🏾 Minds is a “free speech zone” who heavily promotes cryptocurrencies
We could witness billions of users joining the #Fediverse soon, which means instance admins on #Mastodon, #Misskey, #Lemmy & #Pixelfed will need to brace themselves & raise funds to handle the pending traffic.
Questa mattina ci siamo svegliati con #twitterdown che in Giappone era già giorno 🥱
Nel paese del Sol Levante #misskey è famoso quanto #mastodon, se non di più.
Quindi, oggi, il server ufficiale misskey.io ha ricevuto una quantità di visite e iscrizioni mai viste. Anche noi abbiamo ricevuto principalmente iscrizioni da esuli di #twitter giapponesi.
In italia stanno tutti fissati con mastodon ma si tratta di un software per il #fediverso con alcune limitazioni.
Prima fra tutte, il limite dei caratteri disponibili, impedisce dialoghi approfonditi.
Su mastodon non si possono mandare reazioni diverse da una stellina ⭐ , qui invece abbiamo centinaia di emoji.
Anche qui abbiamo le liste e i preferiti, in più abbiamo i canali, che sono simili ai thread di un forum, simili a quelli di #Lemmy e #Kbin.
Con le Clip possiamo raggruppare Note a piacere, come Help Desk che raccoglie le nostre F.A.Q.
Abbiamo gallerie fotografiche, ma soprattutto, le Antenne, che meglio delle ricerche "hashtag" permettono di creare timeline con regole personalizzate (non solo hashtag)
Misskey Social ha le caratteristiche migliori che gli altri software del fediverso non hanno!
Puoi migrare il tuo account, spostando in pochi click tutti i tuoi follower dall'account precedente, sia di Mastodon che Pleroma e derivati.
I believe it would be cool if some of the third-party developers were able to help out with the project. Also, I hope they include an in app payment feature to make it easier for donations or even for premium features (buying a T-shirt or hat with your Misskey handle on it would be cool).
Hello world, I'm Je Sian. I am currently a Chemical Engineering (ChE) student in my fourth year.
I do some #coding as a hobby. Currently, I'm interested in doing data analysis related to #quantifiedself with my own data with #Python.
I joined #Calckey to be because I was interested in its features and seem to be one of the better platforms. Just having some support for Markdown and displaying equations has me hooked. I tried #Misskey but the majority of the content I see is Japanese.
I also like 🍨 ice cream, ☕ iced coffee, and 🍹 iced tea, in no particular order.
I just enabled my public posts to be searched after @mastohost updated my #Mastodon instance to 4.2! 🕺🏾 🎉
I would rather people search for my posts within the #Fediverse than from #Google (who is already indexing all public posts from everywhere). #Misskey has had this feature for a while now & it is useful.
This will also make it easier for people to transition from #Threads to other #ActivityPub platforms, as discoverability via search is helpful.
"Don't waste time in the Fediverse", they say.
"It's complicated and people don't interact", they say.
"It's scattered and you'll never get good engagement on your posts", they say.
"Pay Twitter #blue, you'll have more visibility", they say.
"Without an algorithm, nobody will notice your posts", they say.
Well, I say they're wrong! 😄
(check the images - and I've more followers on Twitter than on Mastodon)
Tech Press don’t understand the #Fediverse, so how can they understand its growth?
To hear them talk, most of them believe that #Mastodon and the Fediverse are one and the the same. Some of them go so far as to call the Fediverse the “Mastodon network”.
Which means that they don’t have a clue about what the Fediverse entails, nor how it has grown.
Case in point: between Jan-May 2023, #Misskey and its forks grew by 300,000 accounts. No one in the Tech Press reported this.
Okay, perhaps they didn’t know because the bulk of growth happened in Japan. But still, this is fairly important to know since Misskey is now responsible for generating the bulk of Fediverse content. Even so, Tech Press think the Fediverse is about Mastodon.
And now, #Lemmy and #Kbin are experiencing lots of growth, with both collectively gaining 100,000 users in a week. This is quite a noteworthy event since the #RedditMigration is part and parcel of dissension on #Reddit – a pretty major Big Social platform.
Does the Tech Media report on this? Nope. But again, that’s because they don’t understand the Fediverse nor what it entails.
Then Meta signal that a new project they’re making, #P92 (a.k.a., #Barcelona), will be joining the Fediverse. There’s even screenshots that show this app interacting with remote Fediverse servers.
But instead of reporting about how this will affect the existing Fediverse, press such as the #BBC say this is an altogether different social network than Mastodon.
That’s right! Tech Press don’t even realize P92 will be joining the Fediverse – a social network that already exists!
Is this all ridiculous? Yes.
But this is why we have to be forthright about what the Fediverse is, what it entails, and why it all matters.
Wer es noch nicht kennt: Ein kleiner Ausschnitt aus dem großartigen #Fediverse! Gerne mit Menschen teilen, die hier noch neu sind. Dazu passt auch der Beitrag »Das Fediverse: Social Media losgelöst von den Fesseln kommerzieller Interessen«. 👇
👉🏾 #Mastodon variant #TruthSocial sadly takes to the top spot
👉🏾 Mastodon dominates the list, but #Misskey, #MicroBlog & #Pixelfed instances reach the top 30
👉🏾 Testing sites with fake accounts were not counted, but they are “inflating” the metrics (they should be ignored).
👉🏾 I also excluded a #Twitter content scraper

Please respect the culture and guidelines of this community and platform!
Thought to visually show how Federation works without leaving Misskey.
First of all from my experiments and looking at random information on fediverse I learned that everything runs on RSS.
So you can easily grab RSS from Users on Fediverse or in this case Kbin is more akin forum so you will grab forum posts.
Here https://kbin.social/rss?magazine=arknights .
You can add RSS widget and enter this link to show you last posts. Picture 2 shows you how it looks like for average Kbin user UI .
From Settings>Navigational bar you can add Lookup to be on sidebar and not in More! tab.
Fediverse is still developing so not all links from any Instance can load but it only matter of time.
So look at other Instances copy>links to posts> input them in Lookup and comment on things you want to comment :mastodon: other :misskey: Kbin, Lemmy, Hubzilla, Pixelfield anything listed in https://fedidb.org/ can be interacted, just not everything will load due bugs or Misskey not federating with instance. You can see in https://misskey.io/about > Federation tab.
Second you can quote messages from other instances so others can interact with note directly.
P.s
Anyone on Kbin can become Magazine owner and make Moderators for Magazine. But Kbin.social is Main Kbin Instance and owned by developer of Kbin @ernest while Misskey.io is owned by developer of Misskey @AureoleArk .
I was 10 years Reddit user, 10 years I didn't mind what Reddit done, but after 3rd party applications being robbed by insane prices... I left and started exploring Fediverse. I think many who were on Twitter agree that corporate greed gone too far. So thank you for your hard work while we were blissfully unaware of all the greed that would consume platforms we enjoy to use. Having Misskey for fun interactions, Kbin for Forum discussions, Mastodon for more important news distribution and other federation servers/services that exist or may to come. Thank you for making it fun and useful. #marknights#arknights#fediverse#misskey#kbin
