Ah, yeah each service seems to implement certain things in different ways which is interesting, and maybe something to work out in the future. I kind of like to though, it draws you to a particular interface depending on the context and features you want for that type of content.

Totally agree, maybe that can be built out, but I think it would require a change in how things are handled currently?

jax, 11 months ago

Awe :/ yeah that’s not nearly as integrated as I first thought it would be :(

I wonder if it would be possible to build like, a bridge that converts different types of actions to other actions that make sense on another platform?

jax, 11 months ago

That would have been good to know before setting this up lol. Oh well.

jax, 11 months ago

Yeah, I use GH/CF pages already for most things (except the images blog(?), that's on Medium of all places).

I guess it makes sense to keep the blog it's own thing and just link to it when I write something.

Oh awesome, that’s a cool service that relays provide.

jax, 11 months ago

Oh! I did set up a few relays, I didn’t realize they worked both ways! So posts I make on my instance go out to the relay and people subscribed to the relay will see my posts.

jax, 11 months ago

Ah, right. I’d set up some relays already, but I didn’t realize that it also shared your public posts with other instances subscribed to the relay.

I’m wondering if search indexers like DDG won’t try to index various parts of the fediverse. I’m not entirely sure how that would work (probably not very well).

For Lemmy specifically, there is a site (I don’t have the link right now), that holds a list of all of the communities on the published instance list. But instances have to manually be added to that list.

True, I'm in the Lemmy Matrix chat and lemmy.ml keeps coming up cuz it seems super slow at times.

I am kinda surprised by how little resources Lemmy/Mastodon use up on a single user instance though. Significantly less than when I was trying to run a Matrix node.

Huh, apparently I'm up to 70+ instances, that's pretty cool!

jax, 11 months ago

Ah, maybe that’s part of the problem I’m seeing. I’ll have to check my language settings. Do you select a language per comment/post then? I’m not entirely sure the port of that…

jax, 11 months ago

That makes a lot of sense! Awesome, I think that negates a lot of the concerns I had at the start of this thread. Turns out people have already thought about these issues lol

jax, 11 months ago

That’s a good point! Most of the subreddits I use aren’t too fractured, but that being the case for larger ones, it’s not too different from Lemmy.

jax, 11 months ago

In my other comment I mentioned some specs... not sure what it's like on the larger instances, but probably not too bad.

Not sure if it can be cached by Cloudflare... probably depends on what you want to cache.

Have you ever seen an issue where browsing the same post between your local instance and where it was posted has a different number of comments shown? There is one post in particular that I found where the main server has 20+ comments on a thread, but my server only shows 2 of them.

This wouldn't be so bad if there was an indication that the remote server had more comments on it...

I wonder what sorts of features this will have out of the box. Pretty sure all browsers on iOS are built on webkit, so not sure how much more than UI tweaks they can do.

jax, 11 months ago

Is it available yet? I realize the article is a little old at this point but I haven’t heard anything about a TestFlight beta.

Ah, found the TestFlight link, seems like it’s not accepting new users currently.

This is an awesome solution for running a matrix server. I used it to setup a matrix server on DigitalOcean for a while, but it was very resource intensive and expensive. Though, I did have all the bells & whistles enabled.
