Wildeboer’s third theorem: Every commercial centralised service that offers “free” services and relies on ads and/or a percentage of subscription/donation fees ends up being supportive of misinformation, hate speech and far-right to nazi content. Either through ignorance or acceptance.
When replying to a thread or toot which itself has a number of Hashtags, is it preferable to echo those selfsame tags in the reply, or is that association inferred by way of the connection to the original post?
I'm very excited to say that #FediFetcher is now on version 7:
The big news here, is that FediFetcher now supports Misskey and its derivatives, including #Firefish and Foundkey. Big thanks to @toadking for making this possible.
This means FediFetcher now supports all of these: Mastodon, Pleroma, Akkoma, Pixelfed, Hometown, Misskey, Firefish (Calckey), Foundkey, and Lemmy.
Go ahead and check out the release notes for all the info:
I tried #FediFetcher by @michael; it does what #mastodon is supposed to do: Downloads external post #replies & fills in your #instance making it look/act like real social media. Unsuprisingly this hits like a train, populating everything from users' home feeds ad infinitum.
This is FINE for the most part. I'd prefer fetch-on-demand: a user clicks a post & FediFetcher pulls and shows, but likely Mastodon needs to implement that. FediFetcher works, more than I can say of Mastodon. I'll keep it.
It might be a good idea to have comment replies turned on by default, I feel like it'll help drive discussion/engagement but that's ultimately up to the devs
OC Where's the inbox? How are we supposed to check when someone's replied to one of our comments or articles?
Is this just not a feature that's been implemented yet, or am I missing something?
I just noticed that notifications for replies to comments/posts are disabled by default, to enable them you just need to go to your settings and check the relevant boxes
