Thanks! This is a really important one. Only if we had a way to convert these pain points to action points and organize financial support for the effort to address them…
I must say that the masto5 post felt like really a big step in this direction, but the threadiverse has still to get the academic and institutional support mastodon has managed to achieve.
I struggle to imagine what would be a possible meaningful answer.
“I’ve hand 15 posts and 6 comments in the 11 communities I moderate, but the mood on this part of the world is gloomy because of politics”?
Exactly, thanks for sharing the link. The interaction between threadiverse platforms and mastodon (sadly for pixelfed this does not work) is exactly as it is for fedigroups.social or what used to be a.gup.pe.
I’m not that convinced that not responding to “how’s everybody doing with their communities” is indicative of anything.
Would also be nice if they start explicitly treating the threadiverse as groups. This is already doable, but some usability sweeteners would make it much more accessible. It’s an absolute win-win for everyone on the fediverse.
That’s amazing progress. My next wish: being able to see past DMs with someone.
Consider https://surf.social/ as an option.
Not that I’m getting into it, but do you have ideas for fundraising for such organisational work?
They are devs, which is different from mods. No need for the same person to do both roles. I’d even say that admins and mods should be separate.
I don’t want to use swearwords. I hope I’m allowed not to in this freedom you’re telling me about.
How I miss the “do one thing and do it well” attitude in commercial services. Why do they have to convert any nice product into a s.itshow? It can’t be that investors want good services to become worse…
From how you describe your context (similar to mine), you don’t seem to need to backup images. Few local images mean little impact of possible failures.
Fortunately AI is taking care of that on its own https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-024-07566-y
Google will never rank fediverse posts high. Said otherwise, the external incentives are not there either.
There are cooperatives and I haven’t seen any of them so such spamming. The fediverse is an example of it too.
Yet you didn’t respond to the point that makes the difference:
reddit is actively encouraging this kind behaviour to inflate their user statistics and there is no incentive to tolerate this kind of spam for a fediverse server admin
It showed up now, so I guess it was a matter of synchronisation (9 hours is a lot of time). Probably also has to do with the fact that there’s low usage, so few “pull” attempts. I’m not very clear on what are the triggers.
Anyway, your feedback is very useful and now I know that I should be able to see traces in the container logs of lemmy backend.
Well, having an illustrated web page where it is simply explained how mastodon users can use lemmy as the equivalent of facebook groups would also give us pretty good exposure. Most mastodon users don’t know the difference between mastodon and the fediverse.
Sure, these are two very different usability paradigms, but I think they are very well integrated by treating both groups and users on Lemmy as users on Mastodon. Mastodon and Lemmy are the vanilla examples, but a.gup.pe and mbin in show that the two coexist quite smoothly. It is “only” a question of how to map this onto BridgyFed.
Thank you for your opinion, it is appreciated.
