Curious, how many users here actually use ActivityPub's capabilities to see other social media sites?

I’ve always wondered how many people actually decide to use something like mastodon to see Lemmy posts. I mean I know how inadequate it can be with a lack of a proper UI but I’m just wondering. Especially, with the infinite possibilities this can have.

Using lemmy directly will give you more control over the post and lemmy specific features…

XMPP rooms a generally limited… but you can use the bridging function to access Matrix rooms, which there are more of ATM

Better marketing? Not sure…

And given can do things like !movim @lemmy.ml, it’s a shame it’s not me widely used.

Should we post on our local instances' communities to avoid making the Fediverse centralized?

I realized that there are alot of inactive communities across the Lemmy and kbin instances. The beauty of decentralization is that we don't rely on a central instance, if a fediverse instance becomes the central one that hosts the majority of posts, then if that instance goes down, we lose alot. I also suggest posting to small...

And you can use the cross-posting function to make your post appear in multiple communities across instances

Misskey, Calckey, Pleroma, Mastodon- All perform the same essential function. Microblogging (with minor differences e.g Pleroma has a 5000 word limit per post) Think Twitter.

Pixelfed is an image sharing platform - Think Instagram.

Friendica will give you a similar experience to Facebook (Macroblogging)

None of those platforms have real messaging (Direct messages, but not private or encrypted)

On the backend - Lower resource requirements on a server…

On the frontend - Post reactions (instead of just liking a post), Increased character limits on posts (default is around 5000 characters), can use markdown, BB Code etc formatting
