đź“ş Introducing the Fediverse: a New Era of Social Media
threaded - newest
Hmm, I think at the moment with how Lemmy/the threadiverse is set up, linking to the piefed.social post instead of the link of the post is really clunky - makes interaction pretty hard. Don’t know if that was intentional to promote the other community, but a cross-post would probably be a better idea?
EDIT: Lemmyverse link, for people interested to interact over there more easily from a different instance - although I think Lemmyverse.link doesn’t work with every client
Agree, especially as the OOP crossposted it
Ha ha! But I'm a piefed.social user, reading this via the Interstellar app, so watch me follow the link effortlessly! (taps the link) (browser opens) what the fuck.
Yeah, Piefed has a few interop growing pains it seems
Fediverse FTW!
Peertube URL here: https://videos.elenarossini.com/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN
It looks great! Im going to be sharing that all over.
I'm still new to the Fediverse; how do I view that link in my home instance of Peertube (peertube.wtf) so that I can save, upvote, comment etc?
You have a couple of diferent options:
You can try and search the video directly via your peertube instance.
https://videos.elenarossini.com/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN
and comment, upvote, down, etc...etc...
If you want you can also navigate to the respective channel at that point and click subscribe.
You can also, alternatively, search fedifuture@videos.elenarossini.com on your search bar and the channel should pop up.
Thanks for the info.
In the meantime, I opened a new tab, input my instance, waited for the home page to load, searched for 'elena rossini', compared the top two results (her channels?), went with one, looked at its list of videos and saw that it didn't include the video in question, went back, chose the other account and discovered it has zero videos.
???
Saw your reply, tried new search: "Introducing the Fediverse"... 471 results with hers not visible among the top results. Ain't nobody got time for that.
Looked again at your reply, copied that video link that you originally gave and searched... and it works! (Although... how did you get it? I can't see it anywhere else.) Finally I can upvote it. Sheesh!
Also, tried searching for "fedifuture@videos.elenarossini.com"
- a search term that I think you can only find if you have already found the video? Catch-22?
- finds the right channel (which is neither of the ones found in my original search)... but no videos... not even the one it just found when searching for that URL. Same when I'm on the page of the video on my instance ( https://peertube.wtf/w/64VuNCccZNrP4u9MfgbhkN ) and click on its channel name... no videos.
???
So, there's a chance of me being able to eventually interact with the video... if someone else somehow finds an underlying URL and helpfully gives it to me and I then copy and paste it into my instance's search bar.
Meanwhile with content on every non-fediverse social network, it just takes one click to reach and interact with it (comment, upvote etc).
A social network system that breaks the basic building block of the web, the link, seems to be shooting itself in the foot. I hope the fediverse comes up with a much more user-friendly solution soon.
Meanwhile with content on every non-fediverse social network, it just takes one click to reach and interact with it (comment, upvote etc).
To be fair, you cant upvote and see the upvote on facebook from twitter. Same via versa. But you will on the fediverse.
But im glad you were able to get it working. The UI and search are places where developers are still working on many different ways to make it better. If you have software chops feel free to help out! Its almost all volunteer run. Be the change you want to see.
My software chops begin and end with:
10 PRINT "HELLO, WORLD"
20 GOTO 10
Good to hear devs are working on it.
My avatar is in the video :-) Don't blink or you'll miss it...
nice
If folks like the “Rebel Alliance” laptop sticker, you can get one via fediverseforfreedom.org … just sayin’.
Dam that was a great video. She’s a killer videographer
