@blag Yeah I think the mechanism is here already, just a matter of presentation. Instead of "following" and seeing posts as combined in the home timeline... we show it as "join" and have a dedicated timeline, where every post / interaction is directed to the group by default without needing to tag it🤔
@ayo I believe kbin's magazines function exactly like this, where each one has it's own separate timeline of microblog posts. Posts can be made directly to a magazine from kbin or collected from elsewhere in the fediverse based on a list of hashtags the magazine's moderator curates.
"Despite the hurdles, our migration to Mastodon was more than successful and, in retrospect, the right thing to do. Not everyone, but a few of our loyal customers moved over with us - something I will forever be thankful for. Moreover, people’s reception on Mastodon turned out to be warmer than I anticipated. […] That motivated us to keep going."
So I talked to someone representing the developers of #PeerTube this morning about the mobile app they are working on in 2024.
They asked me a bunch of questions about usability and my expectations and a bunch of other questions.
The one thing that I kept trying to bring to their attention was that building an app that only let's you watch videos and download them was a waste of time if they didn't include something that content creators could find useful.
#WriteFreely ist eine freie, föderierte #Software, die sich einfaches Veröffentlichen von Texten als Ziel gesetzt hat, neudeutsch auch #Blog genannt. Die Entwicklung begann 2014. Wie auch #Mastodon u.a. versteht WriteFreely das Protokoll #ActivityPub. WriteFreely-Instanzen sind demnach Bestandteil des #Fediverse.
Just tipped #IceCubesApp for making my #fediverse experience so much better and smoother. @IceCubesApp thank you for creating and maintaining that amazing #opensource application ☺️
Browsing #hashtags is quickly becoming useless. Even important ones for #MastoAdmin like #Fediverse and #Mastodon are filled with toots of random #photos and #art. Some even promoting their #porn or #gamedev#gaming project. Even random #journal or #blog posts FILLED with random irrelevant hashtags. It's quite infuriating...if you know what I mean.🤦♂️😬
Thanks to that Mike Masnick @mmasnick link I just shared on the #fediverse (sorry Bluesky people it won't propagate over the #friendica bridge but this will) I learned that Hamish McKenzie, Substack co-founder, was integral to lining people up to sign the "anti-Substackers-Against-Nazis" letter. As Mike stated so well, "McKenzie literally organized the 'we support Substack supporting Nazis' letter signing campaign. Which, again, he’s totally allowed to do, but it calls into question his claimed neutrality in all of this. He’s not setting up a 'neutral' site to host speech. He’s created a site that hosts some speech and doesn’t host other speech. It promotes some speech, and doesn’t promote other speech. Those are all choices, and they have nothing to do with supporting free speech." Substack Realizes Maybe It Doesn’t Want To Help Literal Nazis Make Money After All (But Only Literal Nazis)
How did we go from way too many semi popular english Misskey forks to literally only having one soon (Sharkey)
Firefish kinda had its moment but currently doesn't seem that much will happen
Foundkey while still maintained is not really meant for more than one user instances
Iceshrimp is currently doing an full C# or well rather they are doing their own thing not using the MisskeyAPI and also rewriting the frontend, which means when thats done they aren't really part of the Misskey Family of forks anymore
Catodon, from the start is not trying to be anything like misskey and more like a user friendly mastodon-key mix, but they are also interested in using Iceshrimp as a kinda upstream meaning they would also not be part of the Misskey Family of Forks
how did we go from #Sharkey being hated on for being another #misskey fork, to it being the only major true english misskey fork left, if #firefish doesn't comeback to life and if iceshrimp continues its rewrite
Kind of a rant, sorry. I see this happening in multiple projects lately.
Good gracious people. If someone wants to contribute time and code to the #fediverse let them do it! It’s not in your preferred programming language? MOVE ON. I promise you’ll find your flavor elsewhere.
Don’t disparage their choice. Let them be. Even support them with a like or a boost and then go find another open source repo you feel comfortable with.
Musk capriciously bans left leaning and centrist people for no reason, like literally none. They don't even have emails telling them which posts or why. It's his platform to do what he wants with, why I'm on the fediverse not there. Just everyone in MSM stop buying his "I'm doing this for free speech principles" whenever he platforms the most odious right wing people, literal Nazis, and serial disinformation people like Alex Jones. This isn't the first time the mask is off, but still people give him far too much deference on these matters. Enough is enough. Also, get off the platform while you can and preferrably not by jumping to a platform owned by the same set of billionaires that own/created Twitter/Facebook/etc. (e.g. Mastodon, Friendica, PixelFed, the fediverse, not Bluesky, Threads, Post, etc). #ElonMusk#MuskIsADick#BillionairesShouldNotExist#fediverse X Purges Prominent Journalists, Leftists With No Explanation
We are in the process of developing a mobile application in 2024 🎉 :peertube:
Before starting the technical development, we felt it was important to understand the expectations of people who are watching #PeerTube videos.
We're looking for a few people to take part in a short 30 minutes video conference during the week of 15-19 January to find out more about your needs and opinions regarding the adaptation of PeerTube as a mobile application.
Mbin is a fork of kbin: a decentralized content aggregator running on the Fediverse network
Mbin is a decentralized content aggregator, voting, discussion and microblogging platform running on the fediverse network. It can communicate with many other ActivityPub services, including Kbin, Mastodon, Lemmy, Pleroma, Peertube. It is an open source alter ...continues
