Welcome to my profile :)

I post and reshare lot french content on various topic in the threadiverse (lemmy, piefed...). So, if you follow me, your timeline will be probably saturated with news.

I'm french, i mostly animate my communities on Piefed, my favorite fediverse software. I do its wiki and translation.

I love cinema, art, video game, science, politic, history...lot things :D

I'm part of the collective kittens and together we are offering free software service.

I'm also deaf and speak in french sign language. Pleased to meet you.

  • Being a Mastodon Moderator

    Jump

  • That's why i prefer being mod there. On any lemmy/mbin/piefed instance, we can scale our mod team based on community's topic and its subcriber.

    If the community is political/news...we increase our team. On chill community, 3 mods is enough. And if there is more users than we can add news mods.

    So when i read this paper, i'm afraid of burning out, i don't know how they manage it. They only manage repport i guess ? .

  • what fediverse software is similar to lemmy?

  • You are talking about Mastodon dev ?

  • what fediverse software is similar to lemmy?

    Jump

  • Yeah but mastodon plan to support group. Currently it exist at the form of an external service.

    Considering PieFed fast development, it will be done. Lot lemmy admins are improving PieFed by sending us feedback and also opened a PieFed instance. :)

    Jump

  • But it will be supported this year. It is on PieFed roamap for 2025.

    Currentry PieFed support mastodon group : a.gup.pes.

  • Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those?

    Jump

  • I never downvoted any posts, you may check my alts. I don't do that. I simply ignore or tell users or repport.

  • Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those?

    Jump

  • That depend, what your are trying to achieve.

    Your point is valid. PieFed point of view is also valid. There are circumtance where voting is better private than transparency. As for myself, i would completly remove the voting system because it is useless.

    Why are you voting ? Do you like the cat picture ? The article ? The title ? We will never know. So what's the point of voting since we don't know its reasons ?

    Why it is at the top of my timeline ? And what about minorities ? Let's imagine 10 deafs people 1000 hearing people. If ya 1000 hearing people downvote a post because you don't want to see a post with sign language...

  • Lemmy,Mbin, piefed, what even are those?

    Jump

  • We call them threadiverse or forumverse.

    They are very different.

    Currently Lemmy lacks lot features compared to PieFed and Mbin.

    • Mbin support mastodon, tag, change link to link's title, customization...sorry i don't know well Mbin but it is a good software :)
    • Piefed support tag, flair, multicommunity, temporary filters, i read the article, block downvote from people who aren't subcribed to community...
    • Lemmy was there before PieFed. So it was my first software they have lot apps, lot UI.

    Anyway, i recommend you testing them so you can get a better understanding on their pro and cons :)

  • Fediverse Social Media Guide

    Jump

  • Me too, i prefer iceshrimp to mastodon, there are markdown and 3000 characters :)

  • Fediverse Social Media Guide

    Jump

  • Well thank for this usefull guide. So we are judgementale asshole. I guess you haven't tried !forumlibre@jlai.lu or animal community 😔

    And what about PieFed ? :)

  • TIL blocking users on Lemmy is nothing but a placebo

    Jump

  • You may invit lemm.ee users and admins to check out PieFed and try it. Or set up an instance ? ;)

    Even if there is no mobile app you can try its PWA version. PWA is a mobile website that work as an app. It works well.

    There is tag, flair, filter trump/musk...and each week-end lots news features. :)

  • Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does?

    Jump
    • #room:matrix.org this one won't be possible. # is used for tags/hashtags in mastodon, one of the largest fediverse software. Currently only mbin and piefed support tags. PieFed will work on mastodon's support when API work is over. So the # may create problem later.
    • @user@server why not ? We use email example to explain federation. But we could change with @ to : because we use @ for mention in lot software. :)

  • What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called?

    Jump

  • Well, if you look at the sidebar of !fediverse@piefed.social i included NodeBB. 😅

    In this post too 🥹

    Forumverse : for any news and features about Lemmy, Mbin, NodeBB, PieFed

    So it can't be Lemmy,Mbin,PieFed. And i'm adding flarum.

    However, we can create separate category :

    • aggregator link : lemmy,mbin,piefed
    • forum : nodebb, flarum

    1. Thank to Meta, i don't like it...
    2. My favorite one, it remind me of forum era
    3. Abstract and beautiful. Poetry, bible and verb. Something we have never see before 😊.
    4. i'm against. Link aggregator shouldn't be tied by a software name but a global concept as thread of forum. If i have 6 softwares...do you write them all ?
    5. linkagg lousy but pratical. Bad name are the best. 😎

    I think we should redo the post, but, for now, let's see where it go 😊

    Edit : added answer

  • A load of mastodon users think groups are just autoboost accounts.

    Jump

  • Yes, Mastodon will add it. Currently the closest group mastodon users have is our forumverse and a.gup.pe.

    Iceshrimp is a fork of firefish, a misskey fork. But once they finish the rewritting, it won't be a fork anymore.

    Here is their roadmap : https://issues Iceshrimp.dev/issue/ISH-191/Magazines-support

    And we know one of their dev. He is on the matrix group of jlai.lu and he confirmed working on lemmy and PieFed support. So by the end of this year we should see a tremendous increase of activity. 😍

  • A load of mastodon users think groups are just autoboost accounts.

    Jump

  • Yes, when you edit a forumverse post (lemmy, mbin, piefed) it boosts those posts and create several duplicate of the same post. It pollute their timeline.

    So it is either a bot or a bug for them. If you are on mastodon, try subscribing to @fediverse@lemmy.world and edit this post on lemmy.

    Futhermore, comments aren't grouped in the post. They are separated from their parent element. And you need to crawl back the comment to find its original post.

    I hope mastodon will support the forumverse. The iceshrimp devs, currently rewritting iceshimp in C#, are working on it.

  • Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which?

    Jump

  • I use :

    microblog

    • mastodon for political content as it allows me to avoid lenghty and tendious discussion with its 500 characters limit. But...i stopped using it for a while due to current news on climate change and fascism. And i'm not fan of its UI
    • IceShrimp. I love its colorful UI. For me it one of the best UI on the fediverse. It also have a good balance between lenghty text and short one. It also support markdown. 3000 characters is enough

    forumverse

    • lemmy, it was good when we migrated from Reddit but over time i prefer PieFed.
    • Mbin, i tried it but i dunno why i don't use it as much as Lemmy whereas there were much more functionalities and cool ideas.
    • PieFed i'm starting to use it much more than Lemmy. There are plenty great ideas as downvote management, tags, poll, multicommu, support peertube and a.gup.pe. It is better each week.

  • You can limit it to social network. I class peertube, pixelfed as a media plateform rather a social network one.

    For migration, can i migrate my account with :

    • My followers and giving them my new adress ? Do it update itself or do we have to do it ?
    • my contents : communities, bookmark, posts, comments...
    • can i delete my account ? Can i delete all my content ? and how easy it is ? There we will see Meta doing an amazing score.
    • bonus : can i export settings as colors scheme ? (Accessibility for visually impaired)
    • can i give community to new mod ? Can i fork it ?

    And let's add accessibility. :)We don't talk much about it and we are doing a very bad job. So the scoring system should also raise this issue : how accessible is the decentralized software.

  • Yes culture and language should be another metric.

    But migrate option, i think they could be integrated because they are a key part of a decentralized system. I you can't move easily from facebook, reddit, you will stay. And that's why people stay, they shared life with people, they have build together a community...

    There is an article about nomadic identity that explain well those part. :)

  • The main reason for me creating this is to shine light on services like Bluesky claiming to be Decentralised, but they are in fact not.

    Nice :D

  • Very interesting idea, thank you :)

    So for my feedback, i love your project and i can't wait to see where you will go. Great job :3

    For me lemmy is still centered on lemmy.world and theqbiggest community (in any instance) doesn't help users to move to another community as they will post where there are lot users to reach them.

    For myself, I would add two layers for decentralization scoring, maybe a separate scoring :

    Ability to migrate

    • account and its followers
    • community : miror content and move it to another instance with its followers
    • export a backup of a server in case of absent admins
    • change software. The problem is the golden cage, we thould be able to migrate between lemmy > iceshrimp, mastodon > piefed...mostly between social network. I think nomadic identity can offer us an interesting solution.

    Culture diversities

    For lemmy, i think content is still too western centric :

    • If you reduce lemmy instances by spoken language as french, we only have 1-3 servers, so we have a single point of faillure. On mastodon there are several french instance.
    • If i count english content versus indian, chinese, arab, spanish...we are pretty far from being decentralized. And yes, we also need to note their countries regulation as our to get a clear overview.
