  • Discord Fediverse Bridge

    Jump

  • Do you really think this is a good idea? Have you considered the amount of traffic will be generated and the amount of data storage this will require?

  • So every new conversation thread becomes a new post and every response becomes a comment?

  • I'd say this is impossible, by design. The main problem of corporate social media is that it is controlled by an oligopoly, and we can not get this much concentration of power in a system that is designed to be distributed.

  • The world does not revolve around you.

    The problems of Corporate-owned social media affect all of society. We need an universal alternative that can be a real threat to them and alternatives like the Fediverse serving only the fringes do little more than act as a "managed opposition".

  • I am building some solutions to these problems myself

    No need to be coy. What problems are you tackling? Where is the code? I agree with pretty much of what you are saying, this is why I started working on Fediverser, how about joining forces instead of coming with yet-another plan all on your own?

  • How old is TikTok?

  • it would be cool if posts could be geo-tagged

  • A lot of your problems woild go away if you stopped browsing by all....

  • Pixelfed vs Vernissage

    Jump

  • I'll be interested in following this thread. Some customers of mine are tired of Pixelfed thousand little papercuts and are considering dropping entirely. Even one photographer preferred to run their own Mastodon instance to avoid dealing with Pixelfed's eternal beta status. I might spend some time this weekend figuring out how difficult it would to deploy Vernissage.

  • Brutalinks.Tech's been on maintenance mode for a while. Is there any prediction for when will it be back?

  • PieFed 1.4 is released - emoji, federated stackoverflow and AI content filters

    Jump

  • True, you'll need an activity object whose actor is the same as the original post creator to indicate the answer is accepted. The point still stands, though: the ActivityStreams vocabulary already has what's needed to enable this funcionality.

  • A more private way to distribute votes

    Jump

  • Ok.I see. Personally I don't think it's a good idea. It's only a marginal benefit in terms of protection against data scrapers (you can also build that profile based on who they follow, or what they write about...) and it makes things more difficult for moderators and hides important information from other community members.

  • A more private way to distribute votes

    Jump

  • Stop thinking in terms of "votes". Think of the activities as a "fixed content messages": John liked this. Alice liked that. Bethany did not like that other thing. Each "vote" is a meaningful interaction. A server that says "2734 people did not like your message" means absolutely nothing.

    This is not a political council nor a popularity contest. No one will make critical decisions based on the amount of worthless Internet points.

    I do not understand arguments about privacy when we are talking about a public, social network. Social interactions online do not need to be that different from real-world interactions. if you are not willing to say "I did not like / I disagree with you" to someone personally, then you shouldn't say it at all.

  • The Seven Deadly Fediverse UX Sins: A Redemption Report Card - We Distribute

    Jump

  • Sean proposed something more ambitious: identity-first onboarding, where you import your social graph and content before choosing a server. The idea: set up a “pre-identity” that pulls in your posts and connections from other networks, then pick a server that fits

    https://fediverser.network/ has exactly this. The missing piece was (still is) that no lemmy admin that I talked to bothered to integrate with it.

  • smolfedi - A lightweight, no-JavaScript Fediverse client written in PHP by Adele at Codeberg

    Jump

  • I understand that coming from users, but not from the project developers. They know they've built a client for the Mastodon API, so it should be described as such.

    Jump

  • I was super excited when I saw the headline because I am just about to deploy a headless ActivityPub server, then I realized it's a client for the Mastodon API.

  • Should we potentially create a Harry Potter Instance?

    Jump

  • Right, I misunderstood. We have daily backups and I can give access to them via SFTP, but to be honest there is no interface to do that via the website yet. It's only recently that hetzner integrated their storage box solution to their cloud API, and I didn't have the time (or customer pressure) to automate that yet.

  • Hey, Communick founder here. End of last year we did the migration for ttrpg.network from K&T to our servers. There were definitely some issues in the beginning as that was the first large-ish instance in terms of community activity, but things now seems to be a lot better. To anyone willing to migrate, I can extend the same deal I offered to @eerongal@ttrpg.network: if you commit to an yearly plan, I can waive the setup fee.

  • I'm still new to the Fediverse. What are your favorite unique things that your instance does? What do you wish was more widely adopted across instances/federated platforms?

    Jump

  • Correct. ATProto is the protocol used by Bluesky. There is one bridge already

  • Right now: communick members get an account on Matrix, Mastodon and Funkwhale, where they can upload up to 250GB.

    Coming soon (tm):

    • account at an ADAPT instance, with a custom client that can let people interact with any type of server.
    • XMPP integration to integrate movim.
    • Custom Voyager client to get read-only Reddit access.

    Under consideration:

    • Bridging with ATProto
