@Martin Schmitz@VegOS
Boh! Ich habe eine coole App gefunden, die sagt mir zu und ist sauschnell: #Metatext -App
Ich glaube ich versuche diese App mal fรผr eine Zeit. Denke aber das ich hier die richtige App gefunden habe!

Was mich hier brennend interessiert ist, wie kann das zusammenpassen?! Denn #Mastodon und #Friendica sind doch unterschiedliche Protokolle? Oder doch nicht? Da blicke ich noch nicht dran lang...
Danke


And it might be easy to dismiss the thing saying ยซyeah, but that's just because Mastodon is inefficient and the character limit compounds the issue by forcing people to post more messagesยป, but that's only true up to a point. And I'd really like to see the distribution of thread message counts in #Mastodon vs #Friendica. I don't expect the Mastodon ones to be much higher on average than the Friendica ones.

Sorry, but I'm not missing the point, I'm just unconvinced that the character limit in #Mastodon is the fundamental issue, as much as the fact that there is no โ€œbestโ€ answer to the question: who should #ActivityPub messages be delivered to?
Followers and mentions are the obvious answer, but anything beyond that is additional load on the network and servers, which becomes more and more important as the number of users and messages grows.

@lanodan #Mastodon also doesn't support conversation IDs, which allows threads to easily be broken.

Gargron kept asserting that they weren't necessary, but the GNU Social devs before him learned the hard way that they fixed all sorts of problems.


My long-standing pet peeve with #Mastodon is the post character limit which forces people to make threads like on #Twitter. Sure, it's 500 characters which reduces the numbers of posts strung together, but it still results in a worse experience since posts are individually delivered to recipients unlike Twitter where they are presented together.

On my side, Mastodon threads are rarely complete unless the last post of the thread was shared with me, or they were each individually interacted with. It didn't have to be like this!


From Mistpark to Streams: An attempt at a chronology



@PhilPhorward@FediFollows I've been here around for a few years I believe and so far I haven't observed what you are suggesting. My server (with a handful of users) doesn't see, can't #search and cannot tell #trends, nor anything else. What you say would work if everyone would use the same server, or, in other words, if #mastodon was centralised.


Today at my blog: In which in one fell swoop, I finally #delete my accounts at #Facebook, #Twitter, #Instagram, #Flickr, #500px, #Netflix and #Hulu, to instead embrace a #web3 #fediverse future at #Mastodon and @write_as. https://write.as/81zbo41t8vo4v132.md


For #twitter refugees: the _worst_ thing in #mastodon (activitypub): there are **no global messages**. You cannot see global trends, tags, cannot search, can't discover random people easily. The server you pick determines the view you see.



Anybody know if itโ€™s possible to run #Mastodon or #Soapbox in #VirtualBox? Thinking about messing around with self hosting todayโ€ฆ

All these anime avatar #mastodon users posting hot anime chicks depress me. If you want a cute Japanese chick go to Japan and get one. Stop jerking off to cartoons and be a fucking man and get a real one. Ive fucked literal Japanese school girls in uniform who moaned just like the cartoons and guess what, i didn't do it by posting stupid shit on the #fediverse or browsing mastodon anime posts, i did it by leaving the house. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต #anime #hentai #newgab #cringe


Integrate Mastodon in Friendica?


Dear @Friendica Support, looking at https://mexico-pensante.blog/admin/federation shows that #Mastodon seems to be a really popular service of the #Fediverse. Only today, I got two friendship requests.
How can I integrate Mastodon into my Friendica instance (post and fetch)?
Friendica (Mexico-Pensante.Blog) should be my primary platform.
Best, Robert


Die #RSS -Abos von #Mastodon-Accounts bzw. Hashtags haben vor dem Update ganz gut funktioniert, nach dem Update sieht es aber dann so aus (s. Bild): nur noch Zeitstempel werden als Betreff angezeigt. Das macht dann nicht mehr so richtig Sinn.
Gab auch eine Diskussion dazu auf Gitlab oder -hub, da hatten sich viele beschwert, aber der Entwickler wollte es lieber so
@caos@anonsys.net@helpers
Anzeige von Mastodon-Beitrรคgen im RSS-Feedreader: seit Juni werden nur noch Zeitstempel statt der Beginn der Posts als Betreff angezeigt


@alex I just got an idea...what if #Soapbox could incorporate trends by picking a #Mastodon instance (preferably the closest peer) as its trend "anchor" and mirroring the trends it recieves from that instance?


If you're browsing a very new account, it may appear to be empty even though they have already posted lots of stuff.

This is because most Fediverse servers don't "backfill" new profiles, i.e. if no one followed them at the time a post was made then their post will not be visible from other servers, even if people follow them later. Followers of new users will only see posts made after they follow them, and the oldest posts will remain invisible.

You can see all of a profile's public posts by clicking on the profile's avatar to open it on its home server.

You can also force any post to become visible from your server too by copying the post's public URL and pasting it into the search box on your server.

(If you think this is crazy, and you'd like Mastodon to automatically backfill posts when people follow an account, please give a thumbs up to the issue at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/34 so that the developers realise you want this.)

We've been getting requests on how to get popular on the #fediverse so we decided to interview some of the most popular fedizens to learn their skills so you too can be #FediFamous
Here are their answers:

"share funny memes, interact with (most) who interact with you, be gay, and you too can become a niche micro internet celebrity"
"Hate computer, post funnies, simple as"
"post cock pics. No, post ball pics"
"post memes"
"Meta, post meta."
"Hmmmm It think that by having presence.
Like certainty of your personality
Like no one can be
[REDACTED]Or no one else could be or post like
[REDACTED]People that are memorable are the people that get most follows"

"Cumposting"
And what do these all have in common? The word POST. That's right the best and ultimate way to get the most out of the fediverse is to post and post lots.

The more you post the more likely people will find you and engage with you. So goodluck and get your e-clout

#FediTips#Clout#Mastodon#Pleroma#Misskey


Yep.

The goal of #Mastodon was, appeal to old ex #Twitter users. Success.

#Pleroma, appeal to nerds. Success.

#Soapbox, appeal to new ex #Twitter users. Success.

Of course all the software is still approaching their goals at varying speeds, but they're honestly largely complete. If you left the software alone for five years it'd all probably be fine.


Yeah that's a #Mastodon limitation

#SoapboxFE is designed to be adaptable to #Mastodon. For example, use it with a #Mastodon instance and you can see trending hashtags, trending posts, and recommend users to follow, which are all #Mastodon features, but if you use it with a #Soapbox instance, you won't be able to use or see those features


I have just been informed that https://joinmastodon.org/ has been hacked and features links that direct you to a #github. Gagron has already made an announcement on his private diaperfur Discord server.

For the time being don't install #mastodon at all! Regardless of who sends the link. Avoid any sites or guides telling you how to setup a mastodon instance.Tell your friend to avoid mastodon and look at non-compromised #fediverse alternatives. #FediTips


Please be aware of where exactly you're installing #software from many sites illegally steal and torrent code.

If a website ever leads you to a #github, #gitlab, or #gitea repository immediately close your browser and run your anti-virus.

Git is a malware that makes a copy of your files and code and lists them on these repositories without your consent!! Named and created after the infamous hacking group GitYourCode.

If you want a legitimate copy of #mastodon you can find installation instructions on the official site here: https://joinmastodon.org/
Practice safety fedizens!!

#FediTips


Donโ€™t forget that you can test #Soapbox against #Mastodon and #Pleroma backends by going to https://fe.soapbox.pub/ and pointing it at your site



For my #hugo theme's social media bar I wanted to add monochrome #fediverse icons. I didn't find a good central place for them so I created one here. I'd be more than happy to add ones that I've missed but so far have #diaspora #mastodon #friendica #funkwhale #gnusocial #Hubzilla #misskey #Peertube #pixelfed #pleroma #SocialHome #foss #opensource #creativecommons https://gitlab.com/HankG/fediverse-icons


Hier auf #Mastodon / #Fediverse gibs doch sicher auch viele #Brandenburger. Ich wรผrde mich freuen wenn es mal eine Sammlung von Bildern von ausgetrockneten Gewรคssern bzw. in Austrocknung befindlich, aus dem Bundesland hier gibt. Unter dem Hashtag:

#BrandenburgOhneWasser

Am besten Name des Gewรคssers und in etwa den nรคchsten Ort hinzuschreiben.

Ich fรคnds gut.

Remote-follow stopped working


Dear !Friendica Support ,

I normally can like/repeat comments from #Mastodon but now I get a blank page on my Friendica instance. So this is what I did:

1) I normally follow a user on Mastodon, but currently I don't see any of his posts or comments (maybe related?).
2) So my "backup" method is that I go to the comment's URL, e.g. https://social.snopyta.org/@kromonos/108483904376408153 and click "Favorite" there
3) Then I enter my id roland@f.haeder.net and normally that comment is being transferred to my instance
4) But now I get a blank page, e.g. https://f.haeder.net/follow?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsocial.snopyta.org%2Fusers%2Fkromonos%2Fstatuses%2F108483904376408153

Any quick ideas? Or should I better on an issue?


Have you been mentioned in a thread on Mastodon but you don't want to hear about it any more?

You can mute that particular conversation thread so that you don't get any more notifications about it.

On the Mastodon web interface, go to one of your posts in the conversation and click "...", then select "Mute Conversation".

(You can cancel this by doing the same thing again and picking "Unmute Conversation")

Hello !Friendica Support,

If I use the bbc element "abstract", I can simulate the content warning for Mastodon. But this only works for text. If it is a post with an image, the image is not hidden. With Mastodon the image is hidden for CW posts and marked with a NSFW warning. Is there any way I can simulate this on Friendica?

#federation #Mastodon #cw


Yo, hier auf friendica gรคbs BBCode zumindest..

Aber #mastodon stellt sich da puritanisch leider.


@Tuxi (Friendica) ๐Ÿง โœ…
Das habe ich auch noch nicht gefunden und wรผrde mich auch interessieren.
Ich glaube bei #mastodon funktioniert sowas auch nicht und man kann nur Nutzer in Listen "stecken" รคhnlich wie hier Gruppieren

Connecting to instances without relay


Hello there

Yesterday i found out that you are able to add #Mastodon instances to relays (did not worked with #Friendica servers). I'm not sure though, if this actually works, or Friendica only adds it as relay and it does nothing (no messages received so far).

Question is, is there similar way to connect to Friendica instances?

I would have deployed relay to do the job, but it seems that most used Pleroma one suffers of bug that does not let me manage it.

Thanks
Roman

!Friendica Support


@Daniel slow, convoluted and cumbersome?

You realize that #mastodon servers right now absorb several new accounts per minute all over the place since this musk-twitter thing became public?

I understand why you like diaspora better than mastodon.

But then the #fediverse is bigger than just #mastodon, #diaspora, #friendica or whatever....

I strongly dislike the way you try to introduce sharp lines dividing the overall network.

For new people wondering why Mastodon is on thousands of servers instead of one:

-It helps protect us all against Elon Musk scenarios. It's very difficult for anyone to buy a network made of thousands of independently owned servers. (It's the same reason why no one owns the world's email network, because there are so many independent providers out there.)

-If your server misbehaves (or sells out to a malevolent billionaire), you can move your account to a different server, or even to a brand new server. Decentralisation means you're never trapped on a site you hate.

-Mastodon is an open platform where anyone can start their own server, and they don't need tech knowledge if they use a service like https://masto.host or https://federation.spacebear.ee

...and there are lots more good reasons too, to do with servers using alternative Fediverse software etc, but I'll save that for a future post ๐Ÿ˜
