  • It’s a bit confusing because each action on the Fediverse uses the same universal language, but each service translates that language into their own specific rolls for their service.

    Lemmy upvotes use “Like” which is common language in ActivityPub but down votes use “Dislike” which is not* also used in the ActivityPub language. It’s up to the other services how they interpret that. Mastodon favourites use “Like” but it has nothing for “Dislike”. Mastodon boost uses “Announce” which is what Lemmy uses for posts and comments to a community.

    There are also some actions that use the ActivityPub language on both services but one simply just doesn’t send that action to the other service. Mastodon users can follow Lemmy users but Lemmy users cannot follow any users. I think Mbin does allow following users.


    From the Lemmy ActivityPub documentation

    An upvote for a post or comment send an ActivityPub Like action

    Users can send posts or comments to a community which the community forwards to its followers in the form of Announce.

    ActivityPub Like is transformed into a Favourite.

    ActivityPub Announce is transformed into a boost on a status

    I would love a more generic name

    Considering the general userbase is very open-source focused, we should promote FOSS alternatives. Instead, we could call it GimpBattles. Then people would know we mean business. /s

    On a serious note, I understand that familiarity is important and helps with users that are migrating over here but I have always felt it’s the perfect opportunity to do away with some of the dumb subreddit names (all the ___Porn names, like EarthPorn)

    Lemmy is not reddit, that’s the point of Lemmy.












  • Knowing which map you are looking at will be helpful. It’s a little confusing but OSM technically is just data and then maps are built from that data.

    Street Complete makes a map, which is different from OsmAnd, which is different from Organic Maps, but they all use the same data.

    I’m guessing you were just looking at the main openstreetmap.org website and used the built-in editor. The Standard layer is called OpenStreetMap Carto and the editor is called iD.

    Whenever you submit edits from the editor, the Standard layer on the OSM website will automatically update. This usually only takes a couple minutes, but you will need to refresh the page to see the changes. OsmAnd and Organic Maps usually provide updates every month that need to be downloaded to see.

    If you want, you can shoot me a message and I can take a look in the area as well.
