When Google+ shut,.I moved to diaspora and didn’t do very much with it.
When the great Twitter exodus happened, I signed up to Mastodon and didn’t get this federated business so wandered off.
Now with the API apocalypse at Reddit, I am here and I get it. It now all makes sense to me and I’ve been seeing how federated I can get, which is the background to ye research that went into the initial post. And the answer is “pretty federated” as everything is playing nicely with each other. In fact, I am feeling borderline evangelical as this feels like the Internet I’ve been waiting for since the late 80s/early 90. So let’s skip Web 3.0 and move on to 4.0 where everything is federated!
Me too. When I first looked at Mastodon I was like “oh those addresses are weird that will never work” for some lame, resistant to change reason. Now I’m like “bring on the alphabet soup links and whatever quirks I don’t care, the fediverse is awesome!.”
Me too. And I was all “there are different servers with different groups on them? Like that’s going to work!” But it does. In fact, it can be seen as a strength.
Cool!, but the fedi software is not just that (especially #twitterverse ones). There are:
Gotosocial -> a small server first fediverse-server apps. You can spun it with just $4 vps and get a dedicates instance with features comparable to Mastodon.
Snac2 -> a smaller fediverse server apps, it even use less resources than Gotosocial, but the UI is so oldschool.
Microblog.pub -> a python-based single user focused server apps for tinkerers. It fully compatible with Fediverse/Mastodon with nice ui.
I tried all of them and still use both Gotosocial and and Snac2 instances daily, and they are a nice piece of software for their own use-case. Granted, all of these list above is not straightforward to use, but can you add that on advanced category. It feels unfair if it just the usual trio (Mastodon, Misskey/Calkey, Pleroma/Akkoma) that has exposure in the forum. thx.
Indeed. This is, at best, scratching the surface. My aim was to create a list that ticked most of these boxes:
Alternatives to existing services - this is a question that comes up often so I thought there might as well be a list of the popular ones.
Relatively well developed and simple to use.
Has a user-friendly website that makes it easy for ordinary users to jump onboard (why Hubzilla didn’t make the list)
Granted, all of these list above is not straightforward to use, but can you add that on advanced category.
That’s where posts like yours come in useful - my list is just the easy on-ramp and then people can add in great resources like that which help people push on and do more. It’s kind of where I’ll be going next in my journey, so I am grateful for the post. If you, or anyone else, have more advanced services them keep them coming.
Lmao, I can’t tell if this is stupid, or genius access control. Like if they had problems figuring out which one of their six employees was leaving the lock open, give them each their own lock!
You usually see these on fields that are co-owned or need to be accessed by several municipalities. Everybody gets their own key but can still have access to the area whenever needed.
If you pour any non-Apple proprietary liquids into the mug (i.e. poor people liquids), the cup turns green to signal to bystanders that you’re less worthy of love.
Well yeah obviously apple aren’t the first to come out with a hot water receptacle with an ergonomic handle, but they just do it better don’t they? I’ll be in the queue at midnight waiting for mine
Wow no way… Slide has always been my favorite 3rd party app, and I always felt like the only one using it when I’d mention it on reddit. What an awesome surprise!
I stopped using it because apparently it had been abandoned by the dev, and switched to Infinity because it’s extremely similar, but I loved Slide too. Will definitely use this.
