  • Anyone else starting to favor Flatpak over native packages?

    Jump

  • Definitely not me. I am on LiveUSB right now which makes my disk volume limited. And native packaging satisfies my needs (even when packages are old)

  • The growing list of subreddits going to be dark, but these are Lemmy or /kbin equivalents

  • Added.

  • They stole the internet from the people and we have to take it back

  • How to create a decentralized kind of wiki?

    Jump

  • Wikis serve mainly lurkers, and federation of these sites does not matter much for them. The main advantage of wiki federation would be ability to edit several wikis under the same account. However, you can achieve the same effect with OAuth (that is, logging to many sites with the same account on another one).

    Blocking magazines by language

    Jump

  • Why can't magazines/communities aggregate content from other instances?

    Jump

  • They do, but only for Mastodon and other microblogging.

  • YSK: You can see which instances your home instance is federated with and which they've defederated/blocked by going to "/instances"

  • ELI5: Would it be possible for a "fediverse" app to exist?

  • You can also watch PeerTube videos on Fedilab.

  • If ActivityPub can't survive Meta, it was never going to succeed in the first place

  • especially on kbin where nearly every community (and nearly every user) is on @kbin.social .

    But kbin.social is fully compatible with Lemmy with almost the same number of users and many more communities (dozen of them has more subscribers than most-subscribed /kbin magazine). Maybe /kbin as a platform is much centralised. Threadiverse, not so much.

  • Pfft

  • So what's the deal with the Threadiverse exactly?

  • Also, witaj na międzynarodowym karabinie!

  • So what's the deal with the Threadiverse exactly?

    Jump

  • @szczurThreadiverse is /kbin and Lemmy. You already know them as karab.in and szmer.info. Reddit decided to destroy its credibility in eyes of its users (API changes, approach to protesting subreddits, etc.). A mass migration to Lemmy instances and kbin.social happened.Lemmy is no longer 1000 monthly users, and /kbin is no longer 200 of them.Today, you are one of over 40 000 users of kbin.social. All the Lemmy has now over 35 000 monthly users!The API shall come into force with beginning of July.

  • Kbin and Lemmy should come to a consensus on how to name stuff

    Jump

  • some common nomenclature

    It already exists. The terminology is coherent, but unintuitive - any interaction is Activity, any user, erm... magazine or group is Actor, and any interaction is Activity.

  • Kbin and Lemmy should come to a consensus on how to name stuff

    Jump

  • /kbin magazines, Lemmy communities and Friendica forums are (according to ActivityStreams vocabulary) groups. However, the same applies to Mobilizon groups, which work slightly differently, allow private discussions, having common file resources, and most important of all - organising events.We could also call these three subfeddits, which is another word to learn ;)or simply to go ahead. All communities and forums already will be seen by /kbin as magazines, and the same is accordingly true to other software.

    Also, not all vocabulary aligning is actually desired - /kbin explicitly uses name boost to align with Mastodon feature. However, both "boost" and upvote have a "boosting" effect - the meaning of the feature (being simply reblog or re-tweet) is obscured right now.

    Another confusing Mastodon nomenclature alignement is calling only microblog posts posts. Majority of /kbin users are Reddit emigrants right now, and Reddit used name post for /kbin article. In reality, everything, from articles and "tweets", through audio and video, to places, events and relationships (!), can in ActivityPub be called posts. ActivityStreams vocabulary differentiates between an article (long form, formatted), and note (short, equivalent of tweet and toot), and IMO /kbin should adopt the name note for microblog posts - to reduce confusion (Calc- and Misskey already use that name).

  • YSK that you can follow peertube channels as if they're communties in lemmy (and presumably kbin)

    Jump

  • Are 'reddit-like' federated instances trying fit a square peg into a round hole?

    Jump

  • This already works on /kbin, at least with WriteFreely.Any blogpost from WriteFreely blog (if followed by someone on /kbin) is fetched and displayed as another thread. You can comment, up- and downwote, and also boost it. WriteFreely account does not see interactions, but they federate across instances, including Mastodon.An example WriteFreely blogpost, and the same blogpost, but viewed on /kbin

    Wordpress can also be compatible with the Fediverse, but all implementations so far (which I have seen) treat posts as "notes" = toots = microblog posts - to cope with Mastodon dominance.
