  • Why is data congregation so hard on Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Lemmy and lots of other software use a fediverse extension called 1b12 to keep everything in sync.

    In a nutshell it means Lemmy communities can follow other communities, and they keep each other in sync. The same applies for other types of communities, like PieFed communities, Mbin magazines, NodeBB categories, etc.

    Mastodon doesn't have a concept of community or categories, so they don't support this kind of synchronization.

  • what fediverse software is similar to lemmy?

    Jump

  • There's NodeBB if you want a forum/BBS style UX for the threadiverse!

  • Automatic category/community assignment on received object

    Jump

  • I suppose you're right in a way. The context owner is not supposed to be set by someone other than the context owner. It's a fallback mechanism intended for better compatibility with Mastodon.

    When a group is addressed and it is one of the local NodeBB categories, it will assume control

    If it is another group that it knows about but isn't same origin to the author, then no category is assumed.

    Jump

  • silverpill@mitra.social yes, it should. Mentioning the category means it will be addressed and NodeBB will slot the received content in the first group object it finds.

  • Backfilling Conversations: Two Major Approaches

    Jump

  • Yes, NodeBB does travel up inReplyTo. I'm not sure why it isn't working for some Lemmy topics currently.

  • Backfilling Conversations: Two Major Approaches

    Jump

  • > One weakness I have noticed in NodeBB's current federation is that posts which are in reply to a topic (e.g. a Lemmy comment) show up as individual threads until (or if) the root post of that topic shows up in the local NodeBB.

    No, Lemmy does not implement either strategy, they rely on 1b12 only.

    If NodeBB is receiving parts of a topic that don't resolve up to the root-level post that might be something we can fix. I'll try to take a look at it.

  • Backfilling Conversations: Two Major Approaches

    Jump

  • silverpill@mitra.social said: > If the OP is the single source of truth, they can moderate the entire conversation (represented by context collection: Streams). If not, then each reply is independent and authors moderate only the direct replies (represented by replies collections: GoToSocial).

    That is a good point. The approaches are broadly compatible when top-down moderation by the context owner is not assumed.

    In a moderated scenario, crawling the reply tree would not be useful unless paired with some sort of "is member of" validation with the context owner... at which point the served collection would be more performant.

    It could be useful for discovery by the context owner itself though.

  • Need help implementing ActivityPub - getting inconsistent results across platforms

    Jump

  • For what it's worth your blog does show up fine in NodeBB as well. Perhaps you are missing the @context property and so Mastodon is refusing to parse it?

  • Backfilling Conversations: Two Major Approaches

    Jump

  • Hi robz@toot.robzazueta.com! This could be related to some better support for non-Note types introduced by Mastodon in later versions. Your instance is running v4.1.18 which is 11 months behind the latest version.

    That isn't necessarily cause for concern, but I think that might be why you're seeing the HTML tags?

  • Missing project?

    Jump

  • m_f@discuss.online not directly, but there was a session at FediForum on Thursday that discussed the website and next steps for updating it. It's been stagnant for quite awhile but evan@cosocial.ca and j12t@j12t.social finally have write access to the repo and control of the domain.

  • you can still have it with NodeBB!

  • Bounce Helps You Switch Networks

    Jump

  • Hey deadsuperhero@lemmy.world have you tried updating to the latest NodeBB? You can post to Lemmy communities from there too!

  • Missing project?

    Jump

  • m_f@discuss.online ActivityPub.rocks I bet?

    There's exciting work planned for updating this site!

  • Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • PewDiePie built his fame and fortune on a centralized platform.

    I am not certain whether he will see the benefit of a decentralized future beyond dollar signs.

    Happy to be proven wrong.

  • Voyager changed the default instance to lemmy.zip

  • pineapplelover@lemm.ee you can only access by entering a semantically correct invocation of tar as run on a POSIX box from 1978.

  • Pixelfed Uptick in Monthly Active Users

    Jump

  • I would say that Pixelfed is closer to the microblog space than it is the threaded discussion space.

    It's essentially microblogging except with an image media focus (or video, in the case of Loops.)

    To each their own, some people communicate better using pictures, some better over short text, some better over long-form text. There's a space for them all :smile:
