OMG, @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy works!

I saw a Bluesky post in my Mastodon feed, so I replied from Mastodon, and that reply showed up on Mastodon AND Bluesky!!!

The post is boring, so I'm not going to link it, but I will encourage my Mastodon friends to enable cross platform sharing. More info here https://fed.brid.gy/docs#fediverse-get-started @snarfed.org@snarfed.org for building this tool. I have a few friends on Bsky that I miss following, hopefully I can get them to opt-in.

@docpop @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy @snarfed.org@snarfed.org so all interactions work and are received on the other end through the bridge?

@Axomamma @lor lack of spam and bots? Is there a secret button? Mastodon is completely filled with them

okpierre,
@okpierre@mastodon.social avatar

@mivox @Axomamma @lor Yes as suggested by others as well and would agree switching would be better. Several weeks ago tried to go through several instances on the first page but they are mostly filled with them so gave up. Also sucks to lose everything. I've started filter them but that's starting to be lots of work

okpierre,
@okpierre@mastodon.social avatar

@mivox @Axomamma @lor Not sure either. Maybe start over and hope there is a full migration or merge tool released this year :blobcatshrug:

For video sharing content on activitypub, you can register a new account and sign in to peertube instances

It's different over on atproto. You don't need an extra account on Bluemotion video sharing app. Just sign in using your existing Bluesky account

Exciting times for the fediverse!

Is it true that if two people reply to my this post from different servers they won’t see each others reply?

Doesn’t that make user and community discovery really hard? How do you have emergent conversations with new people?

okpierre,
@okpierre@mastodon.social avatar

@rabble discovery and interaction can be an issue especially for new users to activitypub. They may not know that without interactions with others, they will not be seen. Or that they did get a reply but it wasn't visible on their post

@okpierre@mastodon.social avatar

If you're just joining fediverse welcome to Mastodon. Cat is not happy about all this work even on caturday. Why?

I had to mute over 200 posts in the last 30 minutes or so. Cleaning up the feeds so you can get to a few good posts will take lots of effort because there's no algorithm

You'll notice many posts come from sources like dlvr ... review them and use filter/block

Good to see that Phanpy made a better post box than Mastodon. Haven't tested the client with Pixelfed or Misskey yet

And here's the default for Mastodon which crams the Public (privacy) and English (language) buttons into the box. Some might like this one better

@okpierre@mastodon.social avatar

Good addition even if it's on the Threads side ... and I'm curious why many fediverse apps still can't get the correct post and follower count but it works with threads? Is it compatibility between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey apps? @Gargron

@BeAware @Gargron Hmmm not sure because if I view threads profile even from another instance that have not discovered it, the profile details (followers and post count) are consistent

@okpierre@mastodon.social avatar

Activitypub or Atproto ... one item that both Mastodon have in common with Bluesky is amount of "spam" links and accounts boosting those "spammy" accounts

Several "award winning art / photo" profiles I saw had 5 or more links including their pinned post

Win goes to Bluesky since they seem to have better control of that ... for now

@okpierre@mastodon.social avatar

If only all fediverse apps work the same. Mastodon users can see Threads profile but Pixelfed can't. At least there's progress ...

Anyone know if Peertube, Misskey, Lemmy, Friendica and other activitypub apps can see Threads?

dansup, to Pixelfed
@dansup@mastodon.social avatar

I get that Pixelfed can be seen by some as "unfinished" or "missing features" but consider this, most feature requests have been implemented, some of the big ones:

  • Photo filters (web + app)
  • Official Mobile app
  • Spam mitigation (Autospam)
  • MastoAPI support (you can use any mastodon app with Pixelfed)
  • Account Migration
  • Hashtag Following
  • Domain Blocks
  • Federated Stories
  • Disabled Comments
  • Curated Onboarding
  • Live streaming
  • Admin Invites

We listen, and we ship 🚀

okpierre,
@okpierre@mastodon.social avatar

@dansup You deserve all the praise for the time and work you put into the Pixelfed project. There's no denying all your efforts at all ...

Also agree with all the feedback you received from @daj @NafiTheBear @terrencefoxfur @lutoma and others

From what I can tell, you are working on: sups, loops, hosted service along with managing several other sites. You are spread thin so many concerns are about prioritizing and addressing issues rather than missing features

okpierre, to bluesky
@okpierre@mastodon.social avatar

Not every fediverse user want to connect to Bluesky but for those that do, you can look into using Friendica. The next release will allow you to use your Bluesky account from within Friendica. Interact with Mastodon / Msskey / Pixelfed etc and Bluesky users together on one platform

Large AI company is paying about $60 million for access to Reddit (YOUR content) so it can train its AI models

Fediverse does have open source alternatives like lemmy, kbin, mbin etc that you can try

Meetup activitypub? Fediverse has so many alternatives to the major sites (mastodon, peertube, mbin, pixelfed etc) so it's good to see someone giving it a try with hosting and organizing activities

Does anyone know what is happening with the Misskey project? It seems they changed the docs site once again. Similar to the last change, many of the links are leading to not found message or lack additional details.

It looks like they are now using Nuxt. Why migrate to new doc site if most of the info are not ready? Confused
