You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
It makes me mad how many people refused to leave Twitter, or even just diversify to posting on other platforms, even if they’re supposed to be left leaning politically…
GamesDoneQuick for example, they always say “trans rights” and yet their only social media account was on Twitter, until they joined Bluesky just 5 months ago and they still post on both. I don’t get it. They could’ve made a Bluesky or Mastodon account years ago, even if they keep posting to Twitter just mirror your posts!
Do it! You’ll probably find like-minded users. Don’t forget PixelFed and Loops too.
Although maybe you could just contribute to Mbin or fork it, cause I feel like it already does all of this?
Even more than per product, it’s generally per category of products. You can run Lemmy, Mbin, or PieFed and get access to the Threadiverse. The devs actually do a good job with the interop when it fits the format of their site.
It doesn’t seem too popular
This is probably why it’s not a focus for developers. If Mbin was some huge success, it would show demand for the feature, and more developers would prioritize it higher.
I really don’t mind having a separate account for Lemmy and Mastodon. It’s not pleasant to force different types of content into different website formats, even if the implementation is “ideal”.
That said, I am surprised Misskey doesn’t allow you to follow @fediverse@lemmy.world as you would follow a user, Mastodon allows this (it’s not as good as viewing inside Lemmy but it does work).
but B is the most right.
C is most correct canonical URL actually. See the HTML at the bottom of this screenshot
More confirmation that C is the canonical URL. Check the <head> section in the HTML (bottom of the screenshot)
Remember that posts belong to users, the community only does a retweet/boost of the post.
More info: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1418
This is why it’s the link provided by the fediverse icon on Lemmy, and the “View original on…” link in PieFed. On Mbin it’s the “Open/Copy original URL”
I don’t think there’s a quick way to get link B, but C is literally called the canonical URL. Check the <head> section in the HTML (bottom of the screenshot)
Remember that posts belong to users, the community only does a retweet/boost of the post.
use the fediverse icon to get the canonical link to a post (which is option C in your list), you can right click it to copy the link
on piefed.social it’s in the overflow menu:
on Lemmy it’s just the icon
although sometimes I do not grab the canonical link, like if the instance is slow or has poor downtime, I’ll use link A or B from your list
(someone should maybe add this info to the Lemmy docs https://join-lemmy.org/docs/introduction.html idk if piefed has similar docs)
C is the original, not B
for example, this post’s permalink is piefed.social not lemmy.world
points at
https://piefed.social/post/1003350
So people still have to choose an instance to login to? This is just to save you from creating an account which is like 25 keystrokes and 4 clicks?
I also don’t really want to make things easier for people who get banned often, sounds like it would be easier for trolls to bounce between hundreds of instances with fewer accounts.
But then who is your admin team? People don’t want to deal with spam and trolls.
Actually I’m not sure that’s possible yet! Seems like you have to use Lemmy or something to browse them in that way.
Yeah I think so, although I’m not familiar with Xenforo.
Here’s what it looks like https://community.nodebb.org/category/2/general-discussion
The fundamental failure of the fediverse that is limiting us is that accounts are not transportable. We need some decentralised ledger of accounts that can be cryptographically verified with a zero trust system. U just set up a oidc server to do that auth and that plugs into every single fediverse application everywhere.
I’ve never felt this was as important as people say, at least here in the Threadiverse I don’t see it being important. Can you explain how this would help Lemmy/PieFed?
Better UX I think would help slightly, not easy when we have such good decentralization. Maybe PieFed will end up hooking people better?
It’s old traditional forum software, they recently added ActivityPub support
If you prefer the UI of one to another now you have to create a brand new community which is going to take time to fill. I use old.lemmy.world because I like the old reddit UI
I think there’s a misunderstanding?
You can use remote communities, for example: !linux@lemmy.ml for you is
https://old.lemmy.world/c/linux@lemmy.mlthe “Old” UI seems to hide the list of communities, but it’s here: https://old.lemmy.world/communities
The name change definitely confused some people, but keep at it!
