  • Not only are they federating with each other, but they implemented Group to Group following to help prevent duplicate posts. Its a feature that's been requested for lemmy/kbin/mbin, so it'll be interesting to see how well it works for them.

  • which makes it that Mastodon’s implementation will not be compatible with other fediverse implementations

    What a surprise! I never would have expected Mastodon to ignore compatibility with the rest of the fediverse /s

  • But wait, there's more, we're standardizing our Groups implementation so other projects can take advantage of our App and Client API.

    So its compatible with lemmy but uses a different API and they want their API to be the standard for the threadiverse? This is why we should be using the C2S, but since we're not you should just stick with the lemmy api since that's where the client ecosystem is already at.

  • I wish you luck and would love to see better Interoperability, but mastodon has been against better Article support from the beginning. I'm not sure much has changed there

  • The author wrote this FEP by reverse engineering the Hubzilla implementation. The point of proposing it is to find and answer questions like these.

  • OpenWebAuth has been in use on the fediverse since before WebFinger became so widely used.

    Like I said in a previous comment, this FEP was written by reverse engineering the existing implementation. It's still a proposal so it still has to go through a discussion period where issues like this can be worked out and it can be updated

  • In the southern United States, we have biscuits made with bacon grease and sausage rolls, which are just rolls with ground sausage baked into them.

  • I don't think there are actual financial woes in the industry right now and its not experiencing a contraction. There are layoffs happening all across the economy and most of the companies implementing layoffs are reporting record profits. I think companies are just using the moment to get rid of ppl to boosts their bottom line.

    Hopefully, a lot of the laid off game developers will join existing indie studios or start their own. I really hope they don't wait around until the next boom in this stupid boom-and-bust cycle and join back up with some corporation. Maybe if enough go to indies, the industry can transition to a focus on smaller, more creative games and the big players will struggle to find talent.

  • The a.gup.pe Mastodon groups now federate into Lemmy

  • It shouldn’t be this hard to implement a standard structure for social media (groups/channels/sub-reddits) with an allegedly standardised protocol.

    Wait til you see mastodon's proposed Group implementation, which they're intentionally making incompatible with existing Group implementations

  • I think the developer of PieFed is mistaken because the microblogging projects also use shared inbox a lot. My understanding is that for certain classes of posts, they actually just use it over a user's individual inbox and the remote server is responsible for delivering it from the shared inbox to the user's timeline.

  • That's not applicable. Sublinks is using the same standard as Lemmy/kbin/mbin, i.e. ActivityPub. In a decentralized system based on an open standard, plurality of implementations is a good thing. We shouldn't want lemmy to be the only one.

  • There are 500 million posts on Twitter every day. Do you read them all? There are 2.8 million subreddits. Have you browsed them all?

    Nobody subscribes to every twitter acct or every subreddit so nobody is expecting to have every single post delivered to them. The fediverse has a legitimate problem where ppl don't actually receive all the posts of accts they're subscribed to. It's silly to compare what the OP is complaining about to not being able to see every post on twitter/reddit.

  • I use TiddlyWiki via TiddlyPWA. It's an offline-capable PWA with a very quick sync capability. It works beautifully on my phone and desktop. It doesn't have folders, but it does have nestable tags, which works really well for me. I don't think it supports markdown out of the box, but I'm positive you can find a plugin for it. Plugins are crazy simple to install; you just drag and drop a link into you wiki tab and confirm installation.

  • re: Mastodon I see it as the largest use case of the social web today. But there are many others as you well know. We just stood up a peertube instance today for example and I love my pixelfed account. I have been following kbin and Lemmy with lots of interest though reluctant to sign up and engage mostly cause I am worried about spreading myself too thin across all these amazing activitypub services.

    This was my point. You shouldn't need an account on all of these services. You should be able to interact from your single Flipboard account. But its likely that, like most new fediverse services, you were testing mostly (or probably solely) against Mastodon. Despite Flipboard having more in common with link aggregators like kbin/lemmy, yall went for mastodon compatibility first.

    A lot of people are worried about large orgs/companies like Flipboard/Meta joining the fediverse and controlling it, but Mastodon itself has been in that position for a long time. It's controlled and limited the fediverse for a while and people keep reinforcing its control instead of expanding on the fediverse's plurality.

  • Meta can not EEE the fediverse. The worst they can do is create their own distinct fediverse. But anyone who doesn't want to participate will still be using the open fediverse. They can't take your instance or force it to update to their standards.

  • If you take a look at their CEOs fediverse acct, you'll see he's pretty caught up in the mastodon hype. He's coming at the whole thing from the perspective of mastodon being the platform, instead of the weird disjointed fediverse. People have tried explaining things he's not understanding fully, and he kinda brushes it off. I think even in a decentralized network, there are some ppl who still need some centralized platform to focus in on.

  • But if you have to install an extension, how does this differ from current extension that already do this? What could the url scheme do that using http urls couldn't?

  • It looks like I was mixing up some facts. The Genius case was denied because genius doesn't own the copyright to the lyrics they were publishing. I can't find the case now, but there was a case where a judge said scraping was allowed because it wasn't a given that the scraper had read a ToS.

  • Genius (the lyrics company) tried to license the content on their website and a judge said that can't be legally binding because there's no guarantee the scraper read it. It seems like the same would apply here.

  • Their step one is:

    identify medium-to-large sized Fediverse servers

    which means it'll be weighted toward mastodon servers. I hope they account for that somehow.
