I see it as a configurable solution, as Lemmy isn’t only the site but rather a platform.

How it’s represented then on the Pleroma side, just as a post from a user or what? The community of the post is being skipped?

So, to clarify: is this about the upcoming Pleroma groups? So that a Pleroma user will see a Lemmy post in a Lemmy community as a remote Pleroma toot in a Pleroma group?

Wondering what kind of content is going to be federated with Pleroma? Haven’t they already got groups?

I think there’s a clear distinction between an active community that at some point becomes inactive, and an empty community that has never been active. So different thresholds should be applied in these cases.

The thing is discoverability. In general, you can’t just search advertise the entire Fediverse using a party of a name, like “find me all communities about Africa”.

So then just wait when someone implements what you want, as I do.

Agree here, that’s important.

From what I understand, Cerulean is more a proof of concept rather than in the works, tons of other more important things to implement. It first needs to have a proper spec on the Matrix side, then maybe an ActivityPub bridge, but the spec first. The answer anyway is - you want, you do, that’s open source.

Depends on what you consider useful. Does Mastodon have the same peer-to-peer video streaming features as Peertube? Also, subscribing to someone’s account from their page is a pain in many cases, when it’s not my instance I have to type my account ID manually, redirect to my instance and subscribe from there. And for nearly half Pleroma instances I get just Unknown error instead of proper redirect, so I copy their account username and domain, and paste them into the search field of my instance to find the account and subscribe. So, as I’ve said before, the reality can differ from what could be considered usable.

I’d better see Matrix integration, there’s something happening https://jasonrobinson.me/content/9db6bef7-e001-4de1-960a-6a24b59e5609/

Seems it’s not fetching 20 posts if I understand things correctly. I searched and then subscribed right away, if that was first search, does it mean I will see 20 posts before the moment I subscribed?

Interoperability is just an idea, the reality can differ, see what’s happening in the XMPP world for example. If Mastodon hasn’t got groups, how it will display group discussions from Lemmy or Mobilizon or maybe Pleroma in future?

I’ve been following him for a while, so if anything interesting maybe I’ll make another post.

They are limited to the functionality of a specific service where you have the identity. So that unless Mastodon supports groups, you won’t be able to discuss things on Lemmy with a Mastodon account.

Can https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-translations be of use? Are there a lot of Lemmur-specific strings?

I just mistakenly thought it was !lemmy@lemmy.ml. And there’s even no such community.

Oh yeah that’s it!

Maybe worth having a dedicated community here?

So maybe just communities with the same names and topics then?

Good to have some descriptions there, not everything is self-explanatory.

Might also depend on this instance’s policy, whether to allow federation with arbitrary instances, or only with those in the allowlist.

What do you mean by “carry over”? Copying all posts and comments here?

I change keyboard layouts using Alt+Shift, not Ctrl+Shift, so maybe that’s another reason why I don’t notice.

Before you told this, I never had noticed that. Went to the other room and yes, the left Ctrl is the second button in the row. Actually, my other HP laptop has the left Ctrl as the leftmost button and I feel no difference, the numpad on the HP is annoying me much more as the rest of the keyboard is shifted to the left compared with the ThinkPad and switching laptops make me type neighboring buttons.

If you’re the author, it’s perfectly fine to repost your content to whatever platforms you want. This post has brought up very interesting questions indeed.

Decentralisation level 1 (email-like): you have an account on a server, you’re able to browse the content of other servers from your server.

Decentralisation level 2 (Internet Service Provider-like): you use your server or servers for access to any other servers, you can switch servers pretty much like when you go outside your phone switches from your home Wi-Fi to a mobile 3G/4G/5G network (and you don’t notice such a switch).

…

Decentralisation level X: no difference between clients and servers.

I think was meant in the post is maybe Decentralisation level 2 from the above.

I tend to agree with others that it’s better to have real people engaged in real discussions, so just my opinion is that it could be a premoderated feed of content posted by bots, so that a bot just retranslates everything from, say, a Reddit sub or something, but the posts from that bot are just drafts to approve by the moderator. @dessalines @nutomic is this in the roadmap?

Just came to an interesting question: can I send a private message to an account from another instance?

Sorry for interrupting you guys, but what’s libgen? Following those links didn’t make it clear.

Are there any Reddit API limitations, anyone knows? This could significantly influence the approach being discussed here.

Depends on which instance. Regarding this one let’s ask the admins. If it’s your own instance, who can prevent your from that?

After all, I’m interested in how exactly your think this could bring more people and create valuable discussions? Why would they prefer discussing the same things on a Lemmy instance rather than on Reddit?

However, what interesting comes to my mind is that a bridge service like ones used in Matrix could probably help a bit. By bridging I mean each Lemmy user gets a corresponding proxy Reddit user created by the bridge, and the bridge represents Reddit as another ActivityPub instance. Of course the above makes sense only until Reddit allows proper access via its API.

And make Lemmy apparently more centralised.

Really like the idea of mentioning the translators of a language for those who speak that language. Regarding contribution size, I think just listing the contributors in a proper order could work unless that list is too big, but this is a different problem anyway.

I used to run Microsoft Office in what was called Win4Lin, as it was the only way to run a proper Windows app when OpenOffice was not enough.

I can remember I was able to use Skype via a Pidgin plugin, and it worked smoothly until, you know, Skype was acquired by Microsoft.

I assume they will be sorted after page refresh, is that correct?

So basically you choose your preferred instance and also you can read other instances to some extent from your chosen one. Pretty much like email. Though I’m looking forward to even more decentralised future like what is being discussed in the Matrixverse.

Only if federation is enabled and both servers are either in allowlist of each other or just not in blocklist, depending on the settings of those instances.

What’s Exodus?
