schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post.English8·5 days agoTrue, that structure does also have its own peculiar problems.
It’s just what I grew up with (from when I was a preteen, only first became active on reddit ~10 years later), so I’m kinda nostalgic for it. :D One aspect of linear forums is that you gradually got to know the people regularly commenting, much more so than on reddit or Lemmy.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post.English9·5 days agoActivityPub is flexible enough that we don’t have to choose. Someone could implement a piece of compatible software that displays threadiverse communities as “boards” and everyone could join whatever they liked best. NodeBB is already doing something similar to that.
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post.English262·5 days agoIn my mind, that shows that “copying reddit” was not the best idea and people should really have copied things like phpBB or SMF for the flagship “community-based” fediverse platform, at least to start out.
On traditional forums, even relatively small communities cause interesting content to appear all the time, by thread bumping and back-and-forth discussion that can go over many pages. However it is obvious that this structure doesn’t scale well to communities with thousands of active users writing thousands of comments in one thread. The reddit structure works better for such communities, but most communities we have here on the threadiverse just aren’t that big yet.
I grew up with traditional forums and discovered other structures for “social media” much later; I still consider traditional forums way superior to any “social media” structure that is nowadays popular.

(You certainly have a high opinion of the thing you’re posting on.)

schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mastodon to Lemmy post formatting rules questionsEnglish3·10 days agoLemmy and Mastodon have somewhat different purposes and integration between them is never going to be perfect. :/ Ultimately you’ll always get better results if you post to the platform you mainly want to target; posts sometimes being visible on the other one too is a side effect.
What would probably be useful for purposes like yours is to have some kind of software that allows the creation of arbitrary or near-arbitrary ActivityPub objects with arbitrary audiences which can include one’s followers or any number of groups. I don’t know how feasible this is or whether someone has already done it.
A few months ago I saw a post on a relatively large Lemmy community that had clearly been intended for the author’s Mastodon followers, but they tagged that Lemmy community (it had a name relevant to the content) apparently not knowing this would publish it to Lemmy. As I recall, this got >100 upvotes on Lemmy, but the Lemmy community’s mods deleted that post after a few hours. (Maybe some readers of this saw it too, it was to a “Europe” community and its content was something like “musKKK get the fuck out of EU politics”.)

schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Lemmy Mastadon (automated crossposting?) interaction issue.English4·10 days agoLemmy posts that are federated to Mastodon appear there with the community name as a hashtag. You can view your Lemmy profile from your Mastodon instance and see what got federated to that instance and how it appears there.

schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Could not upvote on another instance [please explain for noob]English4·12 days agoThere is an open standard for logging into websites with other websites’ credentials, it is called OpenID and long predates ActivityPub (and is independent of it).
schnurrito@discuss.tchncs.deto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Could not upvote on another instance [please explain for noob]English23·12 days agoYour specific problem is solved, but just for people reading this thread who may be confused about some concepts:
Your instance of Lemmy or Mastodon, whichever it may be, is just one website that serves as a Reddit or Twitter clone respectively. There isn’t a lot of difference between one single instance of Lemmy or Mastodon on the one hand, and Reddit or Twitter on the other. Just like you need to register and log in on Reddit or Twitter if you want to interact there, you need to do the same on any instance of Lemmy or Mastodon you want to interact on.
So what is the concept of federation then? It doesn’t mean you can log into one website with the credentials of another website. All that federation means is that the website downloads some of its data (posts, comments, status updates, whatever) from other websites running the same or compatible software, instead of getting all of it from its own users (like Reddit and Twitter do).
There are wikis specifically for travel guides too, e.g. Wikivoyage, Wikitravel.
maybe Wikibooks? Not very familiar with what they accept or not.

The enemy is a powerful and maximally oppressive force we all need to fear, but is also so weak it’s losing equipment fast and its final defeat is only a matter of time.

There is only a limited amount of melodies that are possible to make and if “derivative work” is interpreted very broadly, at some point there won’t be any way to make new songs.

Yes, you’re also one of the few usernames I keep seeing repeatedly.
