Dobrym podejściem są też web-aplikacje starające się integrować wiele profili z różnych serwisów. Np. #Phanpy, który ostatnio integruje #Mastodon i #Pixelfed (jego Media-firt UI jest świetne).
Innym tematem jest uparte trzymanie się przez Mastodona obsługi jedynie typu Note (i ułomne wyświetlanie Article). A ponieważ Mastodon dominuje w #Fedi, nie rozwija się (tak jak mogłoby) wsparcie dla innych typów treści #ActivityPub: image, video, audio, artist, album, track, playlist. De facto obrazki czy filmiki albo audio to po prostu załączniki do typu Note, bo Masto tak ma i nic innego nie wyświetli :/
Więc IMO pole do rozwoju jest ogromne, nie trzymajmy się kurczowo jednego konta (to wymysł marketingowców budujących silosy), zostańmy przy jeden login do wielu usług, jeśli już musimy ;)
I think the fedi needs to be more about clients/apps than it is currently.
Agreed, and I kinda touched on this earlier about how the #Threadiverse should've simply been a frontend where people just use their main fedi account instead of having to create another account for forums in a link aggregator... :sagume_think:
Tbh all the #fediverse implementations in the first place should've been backends first and foremost. Why should I not be able to have #Misskey's frontend in #Mastodon or #Pleroma? And the other way around too. This does mean that we will have to all agree on a common client API and MastoAPI will dominate, but I'd rather have Mastodon dictate client API than fediverse implementations. :seija_coffee:
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:
I don't use them, but just for fun, I decided to try #tweesecake and #twblue on #pleroma. They both fail differently. First off, both require that you log out or authorization won't work. But if you log out then log in again while authorizing, they will. But at that point, #twblue will just crash. The error in the log says it's trying to do something with Pleroma that it doesn't implement. Tweesecake, on the other hand, pretends to work. It loads the messages and mentions buffers just fine. Then it adds exactly 160 items to the home buffer, all of them blank. If you leave it open, new items will stream into the home buffer. They, also, will be blank. I didn't expect either client to work; I just find the wildly differing failures amusing.
I made the way to delete some cookies from #Vivaldi#browser then cdrom.tokyo came back.
Tried to make a post with a gif image in. Suddenly cracked down and got blank. Had to delete the cookies again. Just sent some text, took some seconds to post.
Why it takes too long time for a post?
Why it fails when I upload an gif?
A popular multiservice scrobbler for Android, “Pano Scrobbler”, added scrobble support for #Pleroma and forks.
I haven't seen how it looks, and unfortunately I can't test it myself. It's hard to find a good Pleroma instance with an open registration, and my original Pleroma instance closed and I only found out a few days ago.
(I did found a good instance, but I haven't received the verification email yet, for a few days now. Unless there's an issue, or I typed my email wrong? Hahaha.)
Anyway, anyone tried it? Not Pano directly, but scrobbling to a Pleroma instance. How does it look? Is it posting one message per scrobble? Or, it shows on your profile only? Or, does it add a scrobble footer automatically when you create a new post?
#Threads user with dotted username (an impossibility in vanilla #Mastodon) spotted in the wild federating with a #Misskey instance (namely, Voskey)! So, does this mean Misskey can handle dotted usernames & thus can further do what #Mastodont?
So far, I’m not liking how Threads posts render on my Akkoma server.
Too much of it is no text – just a big ginormous paperclip.
And what is that paperclip? Well, when I click on it, it opens up a new tab to reveal… a screenshot of a Tweet.
All of this could be bloody avoided if Threads people put the contents of the tweet in their posts. Or even better, if Threads actually rendered these pictures in the post and put in alt-text as well.
I’d tell these Threads people how bad these posts look on the Fediverse, but none of them can see my replies. Thanks, @zuck!
(Also, if the link to the post doesn’t show up, don’t blame me. Blame Threads. You don’t need to click it anyway since I’m providing a screenshot of what I’m seeing.)
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.
