I just noticed that Mastodon web is identifying Group accounts in the UI and happy to see it.
With the #Threadiverse expanding, I appreciate knowing that I am replying or interacting with a Group account, where my response may end up in front of audiences I wasn't expecting.
Hoping more third party clients will start adding this as well.
The identifier is included in any Account element returned in through the official API.
My first impression of sync: it's good, it allows me to use #Lemmy the way I used #Reddit. Don't know how much better it gets with an Account, as I only have one for kbin. Some apps only allow limited home instances without an account, here I can freely choose whichever.
I see there’s no #indieweb#lemmy / #kbin community. Anyone interested in starting one up? Or maybe there’s another better place (aside from Mastodon) that people thread stuff? I’m happy to start it but kinda new to the whole community as it is. That and I already admin/mod a few #threadiverse communities.

The biggest issue with the #threadiverse - findability. The second biggest issue is #federation issues.
Still early days, I get it - but using search engines outside of your home instance (e.g., https://sub.rehab/ or https://browse.feddit.de/ ) to find magazines is bad enough, but then for an instance to not federate with the one that a magazine is hosted on is another.
I'm also of the mind that the aforementioned instances should be removed from searches for breaking federation.
Mastodon certainly has a lot of creative, unique apps. You can definitely find a fit just for you.
But I think the #Threadiverse is having it's own golden era right now with a plethora of choices for us finicky #Fediverse users. The best list I could find for #Lemmy is attached, but it's still missing a few newcomers, like @bean
Nothing near as comprehensive for #kbin yet (the API is still getting it's legs) but there is the amazing @ArtemisApp
Found a random thread on the #threadiverse where someone was asking "What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?"
and 2 guys were swearing that this "beard bib" for catching hairs while beard trimming was amazing.
a) didn't know this was a thing
b) it looks ridiculous
c) yup, if i had a beard and trimmed it, i'd seriously consider it now that i know it exists.
So over the next few weeks it's time for me to become a true #fediverse user and not just a Mastodork. The two areas I want to get into first are #pixelfed and the #kbin /#lemmy#threadiverse. I've started looking into both but would love opinions from experienced users about good instances, best practices, etc if anyone feels like sharing
You can be the one to create the kbin page on wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org)
