A post to traverse the Fediverse & beyond :fedi:
Third time’s a charm: This post can be seen with #Mastodon, #Bluesky, #Sharkey, #Mbin, #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Hometown, #Akkoma & more.
Please share it wherever you see it in the #Fediverse
It’s about time heise.de stops publishing on elon musk’s platform.
@vovo
I’ll gladly pass that on, as it’s not my call.
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.@ptz
It’s for a custom emoji.Ah, thanks. Lol, I just loaded your post on your home instance and realized that.
Hello from feddit.org, the largest german-speaking lemmy instance
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.
Hello from Lemmy.
Does BlueSky now have ActivityPub support?
No
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.
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?
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 :)
@otter
What exaclty?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.
@otter
For most parts of the #Fediverse you don’t need to do something special. But it helps, i f you don’t include special stuff like polls.
In addition, this account is bridged via #BridgyFed to #Bluesky, where one can interact with it, too.I plan to analyse from which software #Mastodon sees the boosts, but it seems like that will look like:

How this specific post go through all the Fediverse?
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!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. 😅
See the post on Lemmy:
https://lemmy.world/post/18633925@mho @fediverse I spend the vast majority of time on Lemmy now. It is excellent.
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. :)
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?
Got it

I wonder what happens if I upvote your comment via Lemmy 🤔 do you see my upvote in Friendica?

Nice! Interoperability is great! 🤩
Seen from the Brazilian Lemmy. Pretty cool.
Also: Fuck Bluesky, capitalist proprietary garbage.
It’s not proprietary, the vast majority of their code is open source on their github, and they accept prs
And they are also a public benefit corporation.
@mho @fediverse Your post viewed with #Tusky…

@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. 😕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
G’day
