  • @melroy@kbin.melroy.org NodeBB here, agreed.

    It really is the most succinct nickname to describe the type of software we are... and I feel that outweighs possible association with Threads.

  • Let's clarify something here. Mastodon follower only posts don't have the "public pseudo user" addressed, do they?

    That's the important piece that this whole thing hinges upon

    If it is present, Mastodon is a fault. If not, Pixelfed messed up.

    Am I mistaken?

    For example, a followers-only post is addressed to the followers collection of the author, at minimum. When NodeBB sees this, it doesn't even consider it public, because the public pseudo user isn't addressed. We also have no concept of "followers only", but we handle them just fine.

  • @raginghungrypanda@lemm.ee for discovery, the best looking up-and-coming solution is Ghost. They've been around for a decade plus, but they're actively working on their ActivityPub integration.

    Early looks at their discovery reader is really promising. A separate tab for "Article" type posts, and another for "feed" type posts.

    A lot of the other long form softwares are aligning on the standard that Ghost will try to set... NodeBB, WriteFreely, WordPress, etc. They've all signalled compatibility with each other, which is great!
