WTF?
Oh, I just said “Hello” to you in italics.
(That’s similar to what someone who uses a screen reader hears when you use fancy non-alphabetical Unicode characters to simulate italics or boldface on your fediverse posts. So please don’t do that.)
DrVeronikaCH, to random If you are on a smaller instance, are you able to see follows and followers of people on other instances? Is this an instance setting or something else? #Fediverse #FediAsk
jynersolives, to random Question for you multi-social media sites people: what is your favorite and why? Mine is definitely the #Fediverse and my #Mastodon account, it is by far the richest experience on social media. #Twitter feels awkwardly half-dead, half-alive, while #Bluesky is mostly an American wasteland.
chris, @jynersolives no longer have Twitter and never signed up for BS. But I get far more diverse engagement here, with nearly the same number of followers as I had on Twitter. And this is with just two or three other people in my local area who have come over. There is no doubt in my mind that if Mastodon/Fedi had the same uptake locally as Twitter, I would probably have to start filtering 😆
elduvelle, @jynersolives my answer to an earlier version of this:
(For context I was on twitter for about 3 years, on Mastodon for 1, haven’t tried bluesky or threads)

rysiek, to random Dear #Fediverse I remember there being some screenshots comparing the data collected by #Facebook, #Instagram, :birdsite: and the official #Mastodon iOS apps somewhere, but I cannot for the life of me find them.
Hjalp? Anyone can point me their way?
wedistribute, to random With the release of WordPress-ActivityPub 1.0.0, there's a whole new world of possibilities for connecting publications to the #Fediverse!

patrickworld, to random #Fediverse #Mastodon question: why do the same people keep following and unfollowing me? 🤷🏾♂️
jantheowassink, Dutch @patrickworld They love you, they love you not, they love you, ...... (ad infinitum).
cyberner, to random @mobilizon is there a way a group can vote on a event date? like when you try to find a fitting date for all/most members? #fediverse #mobilizon
feditips, to random The Fediverse has an event organisation platform called @mobilizon, find out more at:
#Mobilizon servers let you create event pages where people can sign up, even without an account.
Mobilizon accounts can be followed from Mastodon etc, and followers will see your latest events appear in their home feed.
It's made by non-profit @Framasoft, who also make @peertube and provide all kinds of nice free open source online services.
nkcmr, to random I wonder if the ActivityPub spec has some allowance for the eliding of the "user" part of a handle. So instead of "@/me@myserver.social" it could just be "@/myserver.social" (without "/").
If not I think that would be a nice add. Maybe just some convention like "If user not present in handle, assume "@/_main@myserver.social".
J12t, to random And I thought only the #fediverse can’t keep it’s Like counts and Follower counts and comment threads synchronized across instances.
Earlier today I looked at the “general” Matrix room of the Fediverse Developer Network, and it had just something like 40 people in it. Where did they all go? But all false alarm. Just now, I use the same app to look at the same number, and it’s back at 147, roughly where I thought it was.
Imho none of this is acceptable, never mind technical difficulties.
lufthans, @J12t netsplits could be an issue for a real time chat, but for federated non real time ( Mastodon, PixelFed, PeerTube ) I think splits are fine
It makes sense for the OP to get correct numbers, but for others the numbers in their orbit are sufficient
At a concert tour I only see the people at the shows I attend, not all the venues
Even for real time chat, we really only need to see the messages, not necessarily those who aren't active
We are not a number, but we are a critical mass :)
rideranton, (edited ) to kbinMeta I've submitted the second to last #kbin #API PR for review! This PR adds thread and thread comment retrieval, creation, deletion, editing, voting, reporting, and moderation functionality to the API! The last PR will be very similar to this one, except for microblogs!
Didn't you have the API 'complete' like 2 months ago?
Yes, but it did not have any tests written to verify that it worked. These PRs have been resolving that issue so that there can be at least some guarantees that the API works when it gets onto kbin.social and others
(Also, please remember to buy @ernest a coffee if you are able, he's been burning the candle at both ends to support kbin.social and deal with personal business)
