Hallo Fediverse! Bitte um Rückmeldung + Ergänzungen: Übersichts-Tabelle mit Fediverse-Diensten, Vergleichsdiensten und Funktionen

Ich schreibe einen Artikel über den und in dem Rahmen natürlich auch über das . Zielgruppe sind Leute, die wahrscheinlich zum Großteil noch gar nix vom Fediverse gehört haben.
Dazu bin ich dabei, eine Tabelle zu erstellen, in der einige Fedi-Dienste sowie deren Haupt-/ besondere Funktionen aufgeführt werden sollen.

Das ist der derzeitige Entwurf:

"ähnlich wie..."
Ein Vergleich mit kommerziellen Plattformen ist natürlich immer nur zum Teil passend. Ich kenne auch keinen der kommerziellen Dienste aus eigener Erfahrung, aber für die avisierte Zielgruppe kann so ein Vergleich vielleicht trotzdem eine hilfreiche Orientierung sein. Vielleicht gibt es da aber auch Vergleiche, die passender sind. Einige Dienste (bspw. Medium, Podigee) kannte ich auch noch nicht mal vom Namen her, sondern habe das nur aus ähnlichen Vergleichstabellen übernommen.

Zu den "besonderen Funktionen":
Insbesondere Friendica, Firefish und v.a. Hubzilla haben so viele Funktionen, dass diese im Rahmen der Tabelle nur exemplarisch aufgeführt werden können und die Auswahl ist subjektiv. Hier wäre die Frage, ob das eine passende Auswahl ist, ob besonders wichtige fehlen oder ob andere Funktionen wichtiger oder besonderer sind.

Wenn Ihr also Anregungen oder Ergänzungen habt, gerne her damit! Danke!

Feature suggestion for servers:

If an actor provides an outbox URL, but not an inbox URL, it means that it cannot receive Follow activities and it can not push content to the followers. In such cases, the follower's server should switch to periodic polling like RSS.

This will enable statically-built blogs ( etc) to appear in Mastodon network.

A new version of the Electron build is available! 🙂

Most interesting feature: Spellchecker support!
Also the menu is now visible by default, but you can enable the autohide functionality in the View submenu.

The isolated corporate "social" sites we used have competitors here in the but here they all interlock and share communities. A picture to help out our who may not be yet aware of the wider Fediverse of linked platforms and software.

darnell, to Instagram

Threads by Instagram will launch on July 6th (thanks for the heads up @dansup!) & I noticed Meta collects a lot of data. So much data!

Threads is rumored to adopt ActivityPub later on (in October maybe‽ We will see), but when it joins the Fediverse (if not on launch day), it’s data collection policies will make it easier to convince some (but not all) to migrate over to Misskey, Pixelfed, Mastodon & Pleroma.

Note: Uploading on Misskey as my Mastodon account @darnell is being fixed server side right now.

Hello all, I'm trying something new to get a better vision of users, what you like in the app, what you don't like and miss.

(yes, it's a survey 😶)

You can find it here: https://forms.gle/QbVhVQDnuShfvhUB9

Since it's the first time I'm doing this exercise, don't hesitate to give me any feedback about the process by itself!

Also, boosting for visibility will be highly appreciated. 🙂

Having second thoughts about my self-hosted instance, it’s just too much of a resource hog for a single user / small instance on a 4 core / 4G vServer if you want to run other stuff ( is live, to be installed!) as well. On the other hand it is very nice that the software is stable, reliable and well designed. So either I need to move to a bigger server or decommission my self-hosted profile and look into other options for micro / macro blogging self-hosting again. I did like but the current version doesn’t install on my properly. Tried and - weren’t my thing, can’t get over the design. I do like and its possibilities but it is a bit clunky at times and I have some doubts if protocols other than the quasi standard have much of a main stream future which kinda could make the additional Friendica features a little islandish. Same applies to which I only start testing. Leaves and which could be good options but not sure about the reliability and gameplan there, I don’t want to tinker every night on my server so probably need to become a little more stable first, seems to have no current version on YunoHost, so need to explore other install options… Any thoughts very welcome! @fediversenews @fediversede

Embrace the hashtag. It works across the fediverse: on , , , , , , .... and more

1.5.0 is out! 🎉

It's a "language support" update: new post language settings, translation, etc.

Also, if you're using the Electron build, update to the last one (1.7.0) and get spellchecker synchronization when you change the language in the post editor!

Full changelog here: https://github.com/NicolasConstant/sengi/releases/tag/1.5.0

Hello again #Fediverse, I may need your #fedihelp. So, here's a list of the Fediverse software I'm about to make temporary accounts for to test all the features and differences:

#Mastodon
#Glitchsoc
#GoToSocial
#Misskey
#Firefish
#Iceshrimp
#Friendica
#Lemmy
#Kbin
#Pleroma
#Akkoma
#Bonfire
#Peertube
#Pixelfed
#Owncast
#Funkwhale
#WriteFreely
#Plume

So, did I miss anything noteworthy? Does anyone have any tips or recommendations before I choose a server for any one of these? I'll probably be going for the most popular server on each for improved federation and maintenance.

Note: I'm using #Sharkey right now and Misskey forks are already overrepresented, so that's why it's not included.

@feld @lanodan Is there any way to switch to a different message broker than the one that's backed by Postgres? I'm wondering if the I/O issue that @sun and I ran into might be exacerbated by a DB-backed queue.

just overtook to become the 6th most used server software on the Fediverse.

I have a strong suspicion that, by tomorrow, it will also overtake .

And with how things are moving, it might overtake too – but we’ll see how things shake out.

Well, guess I won't be migrating away from Mastodon after all 😩🤦‍♂️

I use it strictly from my iPhone most of the time and I still haven't found an app that would work with either Sharkey or Pleroma.

So I guess I'm stuck unless someone knows of an app I could use...😔

Update: I have found a neat looking app that supports MULTIPLE Fedi softwares.

I've been experimenting with Soapbox platform (based on Pleroma) for fediverse. I have my own server using a hosted service.

On a small server, hashtags seem to be pretty useless. I hoped to create a niche account, but without the ability to search for posts or follow a hashtag it's not useful.

I could get on a much larger server or simply use a different tool.

If anyone is interested, I commented on this Soapbox issue.

grischa, to fediverse

Ich denke, es ist so weit.

Vor ziemlich genau einem Monat habe ich mir eine Instanz aufgesetzt und schreibe dort als @grischa
Das gefällt mir da so gut, dass ich hier seit dem auf meiner Instanz keinen einzige Beitrag mehr verfasst habe, dafür drüben aber kontinuierlich.
Es gibt auf Pleroma ein paar (wenige) Dinge, die ich drüben vermissen werde, aber unterm Strich ist Firefish so viel mächtiger und spaßiger, dass ich jetzt dann doch endlich den Umzug vollziehen werde.

See you on the other side! 😊

Billionaires are giving closed social networks a new hat!

Before people argue that is open, it's not open until there are many different servers that aren't controlled by Bluesky.

Before people argue that is open, it's not open until they implement ActivityPub (and in a fair way rather than embrace, extend, extinguish)

We've yet to see if they will actually be open.

, , , , , and others in the are actually open today.

Do any of the platforms have a function to swipe through a whole timeline of media/photos? I mean like in one post with several photos you can click/swipe through them, this function for a whole timeline.

Any Mastodon kompatible app? Maybe hidden somewhere in Pleroma?

@lanodan I’m having trouble getting following to work now. My user on KBBS is following my GS user on both the Pleroma side:

But I’m not getting non-mentions in my KBBS user’s timeline despite re-establishing this over and over. Any ideas?

@LeonardoDiOttio@mastodon.social avatar

Question. If a media organisation wants to host a single-user (or perhaps a handful of own users, one per topic) instance mainly to publish to the (mostly and in practice), what is then the best server software?

A full Mastodon server might be a bit overkill, is or a lighter solution for this particular use case?

The server would have to make posts that are both fully Mastodon and Pixelfed compatible (so include CW’s, image alt texts etc.)

Tips?
