Reflecting on the firefish/calckey "moment"

which was about a year ago now, I can't help but suspect it was a small event with wider implications on the dominance of in the

I think it was the last chance to direct the twitter migration energy into discovering new/different fedi platforms.

And it was blown, with alt-social in a weird steady/waiting state that's smaller I suspect, than what many hoped for.

Blaze ,

To me, FireFish got replaced by IceShrimp. Good looking interface, nice features (Antenna) and regular releases.

Blaze ,

IIRC, Catodon development is currently halted (catodon.social/notes/9rl77swzw25jjq7x).

Sharkey I don’t know

There really is a whole *keys forks lore ha ha

Blaze ,

If you look at any profile page, it’s the classic Mastodon layout: veganism.social/

The probably just customized the home page

If you really want something a bit less austere than Mastodon you can have a look at iceshrimp.social

Blaze ,

You can try IceShrimp, their Antenna systems seems to be what you are looking for: iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp

Blaze ,

I hope too

An update regarding the future of m/AskKbin (where we are headed towards) - AskKbin - kbin.social (kbin.social)

Hello everyone, check out my announcement post linked above and if you don’t know who I am, check out my past post to learn more about me and It would mean a lot of you show your support for my future iniatives inside the fediverse!...

Blaze ,

LinkedIn.

It’s one of the last social media I have. Benefits outweigh cons, but I still would like to get rid of it

Blaze ,

Just being able to see interesting job posts in my field and area

But if you would like to contribute to Fediverse project, I would say that the current link aggregator options would have more impact:

Blaze ,

Forgejo?

Blaze ,

I found my latest job there. Some companies tend to mostly post in LinkedIn rather than other job boards. I guess it’s probably country dependent

Blaze ,

They are working on it: codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/59

Blaze ,

Yes, that’s why I always link Mbin nowadays

Blaze ,

Does anybody know how often the fedipact.veganism.social/?v=2 is updated? Some instances defederated a few weeks ago but still appear as federated

Blaze ,

A lot of them have been abandoned now.

Indeed, we should definitely consolidate

Blaze ,

There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.

Sometimes they are identical and should merge, sometimes due to the specific audience of the instance, it’s better to keep them separate.

I wouldn’t suggest merging !movies and !movies

Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.

Mbin does support multireddits, but this doesn’t seem to be interesting enough for people to switch to it (while Lemmy communities are fully accessible from Mbin)

Blaze ,

I still see some people posting to their local versions of the Lemmy.film communities

(!movies for movie and TV shows discussions BTW)

Blaze ,

And that’s why it is recommended to use instances where they have a Matrix or a Mastodon channel so that you can communicate outside of Lemmy

Blaze ,

What happens when someone posts to a local version of a community whose home instance no longer exists? I assume local users can see the post, but it doesn’t federate to any other instances?

Correct

Agree with your other point too

Mobilizon v/s Nextcloud (v/s other?) for a network of people event calendar

I have been given the task of finding a proper platform for building a network of education, medical and other initiatives in my country, that have all the same focus (I am sorry I can’t give details yet on the project, but you could probably could get a grasp of the idea if you think in something like a church whose...

Blaze ,

Both could work, in a different way.

Nextcloud is more like a shared agenda, where you need to explicity invite people to events.

Mobilizon is more like Facebook events, where anyone with the link can say they will attend.

You might even have both, a Nextcloud for the members of the org and a Mobilizon as the public events

Blaze OP ,

I mod enough communities to be honest, and people tend to have comments around how the content is interesting. Not the most polarizing community.

We can try like this for a bit, and if needed, I’ll step in, but I would rather not

Are there any innovative platforms in the Fediverse?

I’ve explored a few platforms within the Fediverse, but most of them seem to be inspired by and mimic existing mainstream social media platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook. While this familiarity can be comforting, I can’t help but wonder if there are any truly innovative and original platforms out there that offer a...

Blaze ,

bonfirenetworks.org approach is quite unique, this might be what you are looking for

Blaze OP ,

Feel free to have a look: old.reddit.com/…/the_price_increase_of_disney_ove…

The few top comments are quite neutral, then it gets into the “CANCEL. YOUR. SUBSCRIPTION.” territory.

So I guess now Lemmy is on par with Reddit? Anyway

Blaze ,

If they could encourage it at the countries level that would be nice too.

Some German and NL public services have Mastodon accounts IIRC, that’s a first step.

Blaze OP ,

Edit: Never thought I’d get so much anger and hate from people in a Disney+ post. I don’t have children and I don’t have Disney.

Sorry you went through this. Feel free to report any agressive comment, hopefully the mods will act upon them.

Blaze OP ,

It’s kind of interesting, it’s not even mine, just something I took from elsewhere.

Was it necessary to be this agressive?

Anyway, have a good one.

Blaze OP ,

Yes, I just noticed the comments can be quite negative. Probably my last post here for a while

Blaze OP ,

I see where you come from, but that’s why it’s infuriating: it’s the greed of the corporations, rather than not so tech-savy users wanting to use a service that provides them entertainment.

Anyway

Blaze ,

Can we expect better battery than the current Pixels?

One Login: Towards a Single Fediverse Identity on ActivityPub (thenewstack.io)

In response to Bray’s toot, Evan Prodromou — one of the creators of ActivityPub, who is currently writing an O’Reilly book about the protocol — noted that this “is also the argument for using the ActivityPub API.” He described the API as “an open, extensible API that can handle any kind of activity type — not...

Blaze ,

I see.

I follow more or less the same logic, but still try to keep communities on other generalist instances (lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works), as the centralization of Lemmy on LW is detrimental from a performance perspective: lemmy.world/post/13967373

Blaze ,

(the last one went down when the person running it disappeared).

Yes, that’s still sad to this day
