Hello from Lemmy.

A post to traverse the Fediverse & beyond :fedi:

Does the :word: format have any special meaning in Mastodon?

I develop a frontend for Lemmy and have added support for #Hashtags and such, but I’m not familiar with :this: style. Just curious if that has some special function that would be worth supporting in Lemmy.

Ah, thanks. Lol, I just loaded your post on your home instance and realized that.

Does BlueSky now have ActivityPub support?

No

ByteMe@lemmy.world on 14 Aug 2024 13:38 next collapse

I was wondering the same thing. How does it belong to the fediverse?

Ok, so it works, but it more or less hacked tohether and not officially supported. BlueSky still wants to have its walled garfen.

Omniraptor@lemm.ee on 14 Aug 2024 18:23 collapse

Strictly speaking it’s not a walled garden for not being compatible with activitypub, it’s just a different protocol. The infrastructure is open source, but some critical parts (the relay) are still run only by bsky pbc with no clear way to switch to a competitor. But anyone can host an account on their own server and connect to the network

Seems a bit strange in terms of ownership, no?

Omniraptor@lemm.ee on 14 Aug 2024 19:40 collapse

It’s like a milder form of how git is open source but GitHub is a centralized service. And all the nice non-git social features such as stars and issues and discussions are proprietary.

For the bsky protcol the extra stuff is (mostly) open source too but it’d still be very expensive to build a reliable full featured alternative so 95% of people just default to GitHub/bsky.app

Do you have a link to more info on how this works? Also hello :)

What exaclty?

How this specific post go through all the Fediverse?

otter@lemmy.ca on 14 Aug 2024 16:45 collapse

Info on how you are sharing to the wider Fediverse and beyond, out of curiosity :)

I’m familiar with sharing from Mastodon to Lemmy, but I don’t know much about how to target platforms outside of that.

Hello from feddit.org, the largest german-speaking lemmy instance

@cron
What happened to feddit.de?

cron@feddit.org on 14 Aug 2024 14:23 collapse

The main admin and owner disappeared and the server was running poorly. As it became more and more clear that the situation will likely not improve, we created a new instance, run by the fediverse.foundation and asked everyone to subscribe to the new communities. Three weeks ago, the domain feddit.de went offline.

pocketman_stuck@lemmy.eco.br on 14 Aug 2024 14:26 next collapse

Seen from the Brazilian Lemmy. Pretty cool.

Also: Fuck Bluesky, capitalist proprietary garbage.

Omniraptor@lemm.ee on 14 Aug 2024 17:36 collapse

It’s not proprietary, the vast majority of their code is open source on their github, and they accept prs

@fediverse
Favs from #lemmy and #mbin aren't shown here on #Mastodon, right? And I think, it's not customary to boost or share in this RedditAlternatives. That's seems to be, why I still not see much from the activity happening over there. 😕

otter@lemmy.ca on 14 Aug 2024 16:52 collapse

I don’t think there is an equivalent of Boosting or Sharing on here. Those functions don’t really match the format of these platforms, since content is promoted in feeds/communities with the upvotes (favourites) and posts are placed in communities rather than user profiles

slcw@newsie.social on 14 Aug 2024 20:12 next collapse

@mho @fediverse Your post viewed with #Tusky...

mho@social.heise.de on 15 Aug 2024 11:57 next collapse

Even at the third attempt, it's almost only #Mastodon, from where I see shares. But that again just underscores the dominance of Mastodon. (To be clear, there are others, but I don't see them here)

I think, that's it for me with trying to get a post get a substancial amount of interactions from the rest of the #Fediverse. But that still were some fun little experiments showing the diversity of the software connected in the Fediverse.
Thanks everyone for participating!

Nighed@sffa.community on 15 Aug 2024 14:54 next collapse

Still not showing anything from Lemmy right? I guess upvotes don’t convert to boosts? I tried favouriting the post, does that make it show?

mho@social.heise.de on 16 Aug 2024 08:43 next collapse

Lemmy overtakes Mastodon!

(at least, when I treat Upvotes as Faves and count them directly in #Lemmy, as opposed to via the API from #Mastodon) Quite a lot of ifs, I know. But at least I found an aspect of the interactions with this post, that is not totally dominated by #Mastodon. 😅

@mho @fediverse I spend the vast majority of time on Lemmy now. It is excellent.

cabbage@piefed.social on 20 Aug 2024 11:43 collapse

It makes sense that Mastodon will dominate in terms of shares, as the platform is built around that.

I'm posting from PieFed, where boosting is not an option, but your post is perfectly integrated. :)
