This noob is testing the interconnectivity of the #Fediverse:
The word out there on the Fediverse make it seem as if all the different tools (Mastdn/P-tube/Lemmy/etc.) can interact with one another. But this is not the case, as some work both ways, whilst others only one way, or at all.
#Fediverse growing pains: The smallish #PeerTube and #Funkwhale instances I use have gotten big enough that handling all of the data is starting to cause issues, slowdowns and whatnot. The reality of distributed/federated computing coming home to roost?
Ückück und das Fediverse - meine neue Kolumne bei @gnulinux
Ein neues Projekt steht an und ich freue mich sehr. Ab diesem Monat werde ich regelmäßig für GNU/Linux.ch über das Fediverse schreiben, mal spezielle Projekte vorstellen, mal von Veranstaltungen berichten, mal einen Blick auf die Meta-Ebene vagen - es gibt jedenfalls genug zu berichten, dass ich eine Weile beschäftigt bin :D
Do you want to help support #Fediverse musicians, like the ones you hear on @radiofreefedi? We are looking to increase our coverage, starting with more Mixtapes. But, we need your help!
We are looking for volunteers interested in helping us make more Mixtapes, with the ultimate goal of releasing a new one every Friday. Don't worry - we'll be using a round robin so that different people take turns.
If you'd like to help out with this, send us a message!
I feel weird about @radiofreefedi. I'm not sure how to articulate it except that it's kinda centralized and it's not primarily #ccmusic afaik. imo the energy should be going towards people building apps like #funkwhale, letting everyone share/support the work however they want and highlighting all the curators running streams/podcasts about music. grow the whole infrastructure and community.
I'm annoyingly obsessed with what #funkwhale could be. like the fedi and as you said, I feel like it was designed for a different audience/goal. we almost need a different server and app designed for musicians. but one that would be compatible with FW.
give artists a way to build their site ala WordPress, but also connect to everyone else to provide a decentralized Spotify. and get all musicians on the fedi.
Et pour avoir accès à toute les fonctionalités, on a souvent recours au multicompte.
Pourquoi ne pas avoir une seule appli qui crée un compte maitre sur notre ordi et syncronise tes posts, tes abonnements, tes filtres ? Si l'instance tombe en raison de son budget, problème technique on conserverait nos données et on pourrait migrer facilement.
Cette meme appli pourrait gérer les alias. Et également cross-signer notre identité sur les appareils utilisés ?
Qu'en pensez-vous ? Ya des projets en ce sens ? Quel en serait le risque ou les limites ?
Pour moi l'oblectif est de faciliter la sauvegarde et l'exportation des données.
Für alle, die #Podcasts und das #Fediverse mögen: https://podcastindex.org/ ist eine OpenSource-Aggregationsplattform für Podcasts.
Einfach dort mal die Suche benutzen und nach etwas suchen, das euch interessiert. Hier beispielsweise mal die Treffer für eine Suche nach "Klimakrise": https://podcastindex.org/search?q=Klimakrise&type=all
Wenn ihr nun einen der gefundenen Podcasts öffnet, sieht die URL im Browser so aus (Beispiel): https://podcastindex.org/podcast/6441657
Und nun kommt das Fediverse ins Spiel. Nehmt einfach die Nummer am Ende der URL und baut daraus folgende Fediverse-Adresse (hier mit unserem Beispiel): @6441657
Sucht nach der Adresse in eurer bevorzugten Fediverse-App und ihr solltet dann einen entsprechenden Account finden. Dem könnt ihr folgen, und schon bekommt ihr alle Beiträge dieses Podcasts in eure Timeline.
Und ja, ich weiß dass es #Funkwhale gibt. Das hier ist halt ein etwas anderer Ansatz, der aber mit seiner Fediverse-Integration und seinem großen Umfang an bestehenden Podcasts sehr spannend ist. Es gibt sogar eine Mastodon-Instanz https://podcastindex.social/
Random question: how are you using the #fediverse? I have my main account where I post all kinds of things (but I'm a #ttrpg dm at heart). I have a pixelfed account where I post random b/w pictures. I have another automated account where I post some rss feeds. And my blog is federated as well.
But how are you guys using it?
I for example didn't get into #bookworm or #funkwhale at all, the latter I don't even really get the use for.
People too often talk about “The Fediverse version of X”, or “Add ActivityPub to X” without actually talking about the point of it, or what the functionality would be. It’s discussed like a badge that says “I did Fediverse to it”. I wish people discussed this kind of thing from the feature level first. What is it you want to do? What would federation offer you? Does that even make sense for that product? Just saying “Fediverse version of the Chase credit card app” sounds great, but what would that even mean? Is that something people need, or do you just want more “Fediverse stuff”?
I often get requests for random Federated ideas with Owncast that sound cool, but don’t truly solve a problem people have. Identify a problem, come up with useful functionality, work backwards from there.
the former is what I want #Funkwhale to be but definitely isn't yet. I'm not sure if that's their goal. atm it seems much more focused on being a cloud music service for you and your online friends, not a place for musicians. still appreciate their work.
Testing the Fediverse's interconnectivity between apps and protocols
One thing that would have been nice to know as a newbie on the Fediverse:...
I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only)
A while ago I posted a thread back on the...
