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 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 That's the thing, Threads for now, has a consistent userbase that is Federating, and the following count is consistent because they don't count Fedi followers, If you look at @BeAware it shouldn't be consistent.... Also, I meant that your instance might not know about accounts that are following other accounts that you know.
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 Pixelfed can successfully fetch threads accounts and posts, however there is a bug preventing the search from properly resolving threads accounts. I'm working on a fix.
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
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
@okpierre
This is awesome! I'd love to also see someone set up a federated marketplace as well. That's a big reason why a lot of people won't leave corrupt platforms like Facebook/Meta. When your livelihood is tied to it, makes it harder to leave. If the fedi is expanding in other directions, it only makes sense it happens eventually. Would be good for other federated networks to make designated space for it that's separate though so we don't welcome ad culture taking over federated feeds.
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
