Small communities that are similar should think about mushing together for activity. Example: Hiking, Backpacking, Thru Hiking. It will generate more Activity and then branch out. We have too many niche pages that won’t be active.

@[email protected] To be honest, the thing that made me give up on kbin, a few months ago, was the federation problem between kbin and other services.
The thing is, I have a lot more followers on Firefish than on kbin, and I’d like to be able to boost kbin content with my Firefish account to make it discoverable for people who follow me. But boosting is impossible for “link” type posts, which make up a large portion of the content posted on kbin.
Also, even though I was able to boost “thread” type posts, they didn’t look great on Firefish or Mastodon. Especially on Mastodon where they were reduced to a simple link pointing to the original kbin post, which is not very engaging.
I’m really looking forward to seeing these issues fixed. I think the threadiverse and the micro-blogging communities could benefit a lot from being able to correctly communicate with eachother.
@brome ah, I’ve been wanting to try out Firefish!
I was never a twitter person so the engagement with Mastodon has been really interesting for me, and an unexpected perk. But I guess I’ve been focused on me seeing their content rather than vice versa.
@livus
accs on misskey and its cutlery set (firefish, foundkey, iceshrimp and sharkey being the most important among them) are mostly unaware of what is happening on the threadiverse
mostly using a hajkey acc myself, i agree with @brome - although i tend to use kbin more frequently now, as kbin development regained steam
if sharkey were able to federate better with both kbin and lemmy, this would be a giant leap @Amelia @Marie
@Vej @scrubbles @Blaze
@testing thanks, good to know. Sharkey wasn’t really on my radar at all so it’s interesting that it’s the one closest to federating with us.
@livus
compared to other *keys, sharkey development is rapid atm, but so far, @Amelia and @Marie have not put federation issues with kbin and lemmy into focus - this is why i tagged them
