@caos @Hiker @» Aakerbeere 🏖️ :mastodon: Lemmy ist ja eigentlich ein Reddit-Klon, also in erster Linie darauf ausgelegt, daß jemand ein Bild, einen Link oder sonstwas postet und darüber dann diskutiert wird. So, wie es auf Reddit thematisch spezialisierte Subreddits gibt, gibt's auf Lemmy Communities.
Lemmy ist dabei nicht die einzige Serversoftware im Fediverse, die darauf ausgelegt ist. Es gibt auch noch- /kbin (so mit Schrägstrich und vier Kleinbuchstaben geschrieben), das es schon gab, als Lemmy richtig durchstartete, das einiges besser machen wollte als Lemmy, das auch nebenher Microblogging kann, das aber an seinem eigenen "Erfolg" zugrundeging
- Mbin, einen /kbin-Fork, der aktiv entwickelt wird
- PieFed, das von den vieren (also inklusive Lemmy) noch am ausgefuchstesten erscheint
- Sublinks, das bis heute nicht offiziell releaset worden ist
Gegenüber Lemmy haben sie zwei Vorteile.
Zum einen sind sie besser darin, sich mit etwas anderem als dem "Threadiverse" (Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed, hoffentlich bald auch Sublinks) zu verbinden. Lemmy kann eigentlich nur mit Reddit-Klonen richtig föderieren.
Zum anderen haben sie als Entwickler nicht einen knallharten Stalinisten und einen knallharten Maoisten, die beide sowjetische und chinesische Greueltaten relativieren oder gar bestreiten.
Lemmys einziger Vorteil ist, daß Lemmyverse alle bekannten Lemmy-Communities listet, aber keine /kbin- oder Mbin-Magazine und auch keine PieFed-Communities.
Kulturell ist Lemmy völlig anders als Mastodon. Es ist nicht Mastodon mit thematischen Gruppen. 99% aller "Lemminge" kommen direkt von Reddit und kennen Reddit sehr gut, aber meistens weder Twitter noch Mastodon.
Twitter-Nutzer, die nach Mastodon abgehauen sind, fanden meistens die Twitter-Kultur grausig und vergiftet. Daher haben sie auf Mastodon eine ganz neue Kultur "erfunden", die a) von Twitter inspiriert ist, b) aber freundlicher ist und c) die bis Mitte 2022 bestehende Mastodon-Kultur regelrecht verdrängt hat.
Redditors, die nach Lemmy abgehauen sind, fanden dagegen die Reddit-Kultur nicht scheiße. Sie haben im Prinzip die Reddit-Kultur 1:1 nach Lemmy übertragen, wo sie sich nur ein bißchen wandelte, weil Lemmy eben kein zentralisierter Monolith ist. Die Lemmy-Kultur hat mit der Mastodon-Kultur nichts, aber auch gar nichts zu tun. Statt dessen ist sie die Reddit-Kultur plus Stänkern gegen andere Lemmy-Instanzen.
Das heißt in der Praxis: Wenn du nach Lemmy postest oder kommentierst und dich dabei zu sehr nicht wie ein Redditor verhältst, dann wirst du komisch angeguckt.Von Mastodon nach Lemmy posten
Ich möchte noch einmal konkretisieren, wie man mit Mastodons beschränkten Mitteln nach Lemmy postet. Dabei sind zwei Dinge wichtig: Zum einen ist auf Lemmy ein Titel absolut essentiell wichtig, während Mastodon kaum weiß, was Titel sind. Zum anderen ist unbedingt die Lemmy-Community zu erwähnen.
Wenn du von Mastodon nach Lemmy posten willst, muß das so aussehen:Titel
(Leerzeile, der Übersichtlichkeit halber und evtl. auch aus technischen Gründen empfohlen)
@Lemmy-Community
(Leerzeile, der Übersichtlichkeit halber und evtl. auch aus technischen Gründen empfohlen)
Post-Text
Wenn du nach Lemmy, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams), Forte und Guppe crossposten willst, dann geht das so:Titel
(Leerzeile, der Übersichtlichkeit halber und evtl. auch aus technischen Gründen empfohlen)
@Lemmy-Community @Friendica/Hubzilla/(streams)/Forte-Gruppe1 @Friendica/Hubzilla/(streams)/Forte-Gruppe2 @Friendica/Hubzilla/(streams)/Forte-Gruppe3 ... @Guppe-Gruppe1 @Guppe-Gruppe2 @Guppe-Gruppe3
(Leerzeile, der Übersichtlichkeit halber und evtl. auch aus technischen Gründen empfohlen)
Post-Text
Das heißt, du erwähnst:- erst genau eine Lemmy-Community
- dann Friendica-Gruppen, Hubzilla-Foren, (streams)-Gruppen und/oder Forte-Gruppen (meines Wissens kann man da zumindest von Mastodon aus über mehrere crossposten, und wenn du sie auf Mastodon mit @ erwähnst, dann teilen sie deinen Post trotzdem)
- dann Guppe-Gruppen
Auch wichtig: Alle Erwähnungen müssen in einer und derselben Zeile stehen! Du solltest sie also nicht aus irgendeinem Grunde untereinander in jeweils einer eigenen Zeile anordnen.
Außerdem wichtig: Keine Hashtags! Du kannst zwar mit Hashtags nach Lemmy posten. Aber Lemmy kennt keine Hashtags, weil Reddit keine kennt. Zum einen braucht Lemmy keine Hashtags, weil es ja die Communities gibt. Zum anderen, wenn du Hashtags postest, macht das bei den ganzen Redditors auf Lemmy keinen guten Eindruck. Auf Lemmy können Posts und Kommentare nämlich auch downgevotet werden (Upvote auf Lemmy = Fave auf Mastodon; Downvote = das Gegenteil, das Mastodon gar nicht kennt, Lemmy aber sehr wohl), und ich wage zu behaupten, es gibt einige, die Posts mit Hashtags wegen der Hashtags downvoten.Von Mastodon nach Lemmy kommentieren
Hier wäre auch noch etwas erwähnenswert: Im Gegensatz zu Mastodon kennt Lemmy Konversationen. Und die funktionieren ohne Erwähnungen. Man braucht Lemminge nicht zu erwähnen, damit sie mitbekommen, daß man in einem Thread kommentiert hat. Das ist da völlig anders als auf Mastodon.
Das heißt auch: Wenn du in einem Lemmy-Thread kommentierst, lösch auf jeden Fall die von Mastodon automatisch generierte Erwähnung raus! Die fällt da genauso negativ auf wie Hashtags. Das macht man da nicht.
Beim Kommentieren sollte auch das Erwähnen der Lemmy-Community überflüssig sein. Dein Kommentar kommt auch so an.

@AJ Sadauskas
I mean, the Fediverse already has Lemmy, KBin, and MBin.
So there's already an ecosystem of pre-built communities out there.
/kbin is dead. Has been since last year. The last instances that haven't moved to Mbin are withering away.
However, in the "Lemmy clone" category, there's also PieFed, and Sublinks is still in development.
Also, the Facebook alternative Friendica ("Facebook alternative" not as in "Facebook clone", but as in "better than Facebook") has had groups since its launch in, 2010, five and a half years before Mastodon. Hubzilla has had groups since 2012 when it still was a Friendica fork named Red. (streams) (2021) and Forte (2024) have groups, too. All four are part of the same software family, created by the same developer. And interacting with their groups from Mastodon is somewhat smoother than interacting with a Lemmy community.
On Friendica, a group is simply another user account, but with different settings: In "Mastodon speak", it automatically boosts any DM sent to it to all its followers. In reality, it's a little more complicated because, unlike Mastodon, Friendica has a concept of threaded conversations. (No, seriously, Mastodon doesn't have it. If you think Mastodon has it, use Friendica for a year or two as your only daily driver, and then think again.)
Likewise, on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, it's another channel with similar settings.

@🇵🇸 single use plastique 🏴☠️ @lori Misskey did it right, the Forkeys even more so.
Unlike Mastodon, they didn't aim to be purist Twitter clones. Misskey wanted to do microblogging, but without Twitter's unnecessary limitations and with some cool extra features, partly appealing particularly to a Japanese target audience.
It certainly helped that Misskey was originally launched in 2014, some two years before Mastodon.
Friendica, created in 2010 as Mistpark, is a similar case. It aimed to be an alternative to Facebook, but not a 1:1 Facebook clone. The idea was to build something that does the same thing as Facebook in similar ways as Facebook, but without what limited Facebook and without what sucked about Facebook.
And of course, it got a big pile of cool extra features on top that could be useful.
For example, circles. You may perceive them as either Mastodon's lists done right or a clone of Google+'s circles. Actually, however, Google+ was a clone of Diaspora*, Google+'s circles were a clone of Diaspora*'s aspects, and what are Friendica's circles today used to be Mistpark's groups. And Mistpark pre-dated even Diaspora*, so Mistpark had them first.
Also, next to being an alternative to Facebook, Mistpark was equipped as a full-blown blogging engine. No character limit. Full set of text formatting, up to and including headlines, lists and tables. In-line embedding of images and other media which can be uploaded to the built-in file storage before embedding them. StatusNet's summary field (which Mastodon repurposed into a content warning field seven years after Mistpark's launch in spite of being federated with both StatusNet's successor GNU social and Friendica) and a separate title field. A tag cloud. And so forth.
But we can also see it in the Threadiverse. First there were Lemmy, an attempt at a faithful clone of Reddit that also aimed at replacing Hacker News, and Lotide which fell to the wayside. Shortly before the Reddit enshittification, /kbin appeared. It added some interesting extra features, but it could never really mature due to being overrun at an early alpha stage.
Now we also have Mbin, a /kbin fork that improves on it, PieFed and Sublinks, all of which are more than mere Reddit or Hacker News clones.

CW: Mastodon's "conversation model" is rubbish; CW: long (over 2,700 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse-beyond-Mastodon meta, making Mastodon look bad in comparison to other Fediverse projects
Seriously, Mastodon's conversation model (or lack thereof) is so inconvenient it's nerve-grating.
On Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and others, you automatically receive all comments to any post that you've received. That is, unless filters or blocks stand in the way. Sometimes, even older comments are backfilled when a post with comments is imported.
The whole Threadiverse immediately exposes you to whole threads because you don't receive individual posts or comments anyway. That wouldn't be how Reddit works, and the Threadiverse is modelled after Reddit.
On Mastodon, you only receive posts a) that mention you or b) by people whom you follow. Even if they're replies to a post that you've already received.
When I reply to a pure Friendica/Hubzilla/(streams) thread, I can be sure that everyone receives my comment.
When I reply to a pure Mastodon thread, I basically have to explain everything to almost everyone separately. I have to explain it at least once in each branch of the thread. Alternatively, I have to mention everyone who has participated in the thread at once. And then another Mastodon user discovers the start post, but of course doesn't see the thread, and I have to reply to them individually because they didn't see my comment(s).
For example, if there's another long thread full of Mastodon users acting as if the Fediverse is only Mastodon, I join in and try to explain to as many people as possible that, no, the Fediverse is not only Mastodon, and what you want "Mastodon and the Fediverse" to have is readily available on lots of non-Mastodon projects. And I have to do so six times over due to how branched the thread is just to catch everyone.
Next morning, I come back to the thread and find another five people who have replied to the start post, and who act like the Fediverse is only Mastodon because they haven't seen a single one of my half-dozen replies. So I have to explain it another five times.
Of course, not few of those whom I've replied to will block me for reply-guying me because I've answered to them although they haven't mentioned me, and I'm none of their followers, much less a mutual.
So much about Mastodon allegedly being the biggest because it's objectively the best.
Oh, and before you complain about how "they" had the audacity to do things differently from Mastodon: Both Friendica and Hubzilla are older than Mastodon, Hubzilla by ten months, Friendica by almost six years. Their conversation model was here first.

@Owen
what functions do Lemmy, Pixelfed, and others serve that Mastodon doesn't?
For starters, Lemmy, the other Threadiverse projects and several other Fediverse server applications, e.g. Friendica and its descendants Hubzilla and (streams) have one technological advantage over Mastodon when it comes to discussions:
They have a proper concept of conversations. They distinguish between a start post and a reply or comment, and they make use of the "context" attribute on the latter to reference the start post of a thread. This makes it possible to tie discussion threads like in a forum or on Reddit together.
In addition, they always deliver all replies in a thread to all participants in the same thread. No mentions needed. This makes it possible for everyone to easily follow a discussion without having to rely on everyone mentioning everyone or keep looking up the start post at its source.
Mastodon doesn't do either. Mastodon mimics 𝕏 with all its shortcomings, and 𝕏 doesn't have any comparable functionality, and such functionality wouldn't be microblogging, so Mastodon doesn't have it either. Just like everything is the same kind of tweet on 𝕏, everything is the same kind of toot on Mastodon, and it relies on mentions and an out-dated, deprecated OStatus tag that doesn't even exist in ActivityPub to tie directly related posts together.
Thus, meaningful discussions between more than two participants are easily possible on Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed, Sublinks, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) etc., but on Mastodon and the other "Twitter clones", they require the users jumping through hoops, if they work at all.
Also, discussion groups. Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed, Sublinks, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) etc. have had them since their respective inception. Mastodon doesn't because 𝕏 doesn't, and groups aren't microblogging. The Mastodon devs are said to be working on implementing groups, but I expect that to become a dirty hack that's incompatible with the rest of the Fediverse. In the meantime, Mastodon users need external, third-party solutions like Guppe, now-defunct Chirp or Friendica.
Mastodon users try to use Mastodon as the all-purpose Swiss army knife of the Fediverse. Mastodon itself tries to market itself as the perfect, fully-featured, one-size-fits-all jack-of-all-trades solution in the Fediverse that lets you do everything you want to do. At the same time, however, Mastodon tries to hold on to its idea of purist microblogging, and it has to struggle with the consequences of having done so all the time.
The only way the Mastodon folks can hope to push their agenda through is by:- presenting Mastodon as the Fediverse proper, especially to newbies
- shielding Mastodon users from the existence of other Fediverse projects; at least some other projects show which project a post or comment came from
- brainwashing Mastodon users into the opinion that the Fediverse is all about microblogging and shouldn't have more/better features than what vanilla Mastodon offers
- making the rest of the Fediverse look bad to Mastodon users by intentionally making Mastodon incompatible with the rest of the Fediverse, thus giving the impression that it's everything else in the Fediverse that's "broken"
I joined Lemmy and Pixelfed wanting to participate but the level of traffic seemed too low to generate the interaction I had hoped for. Did I look in the wrong places, or did I fail to notice the action, or did I look too early?
Sadly, there are lots of Lemmy communities in which hardly anything happens. They've got hundreds of subscribers who, however, don't interact with the community. There's often only one user who occasionally posts stuff, but absolutely nobody ever replies to anything.
If you happen to be interested in a catalogue of Lemmy communities, try the one on Lemmyverse. Or if you're specifically looking for an active community, try c/Fediverse.

Did some work on the #sublinks component library to start getting components set up so they can be used in multiple projects and can be designed separately from the site itself
Got basic buttons and chips in currently. Should probably be doing more work today (might be the thing I work on for my Monday stream) -
@Dave Heinemann 🇦🇺 A whole lot has happened in these nine months, including the appearance of three more projects in the Threadiverse that try to do things better than Lemmy and /kbin.
/kbin was forked to Mbin.
PieFed and Sublinks are entirely new.

@mapache @db0 @dw_innovation @FediTips As you can see this rabbit hole can get a bit deep but some search terms which might be a bit more promising are: #Threadiverse #Kbin #PieFed #sublinks . This part of the Fediverse is a bit less well developed than the microblogging part but there has been a lot of activity in recent months and I have every reason to expect further development (both technically and in terms of things like moderation tools and standards).

Got some more work done on my game template yesterday on stream. Did some more progress on the achivement system and persisting data and should be finishing them up in tomorrows stream.
Doing some more progress on #sublinks today to do as much as I can on the theme library + demo site to try to finish that up so it can be used in the sublinks frontend
My weekly schedule for the next weeks should be
- Monday: Game Development (stream)
- Tuesday: Sublinks Libraries
- Wednesday: Game Tools (stream)
- Thursday: Sublinks Frontend
- Friday: Gaming (stream)
And then whatever needs to be done on the weekend (probably finishing up the update to my dome keeper mod this weekend so I can get that out) -
Starting work on a theme customization library for #sublinks. Themes will be able to be defined in json files (with values for colors) and then be read in for usage. Ideally would also have a theme builder built into the UI at some point
-
Making an updated #introduction post for myself for the release of Bytes!
Hi I'm Ategon, an Indie #gamedev from Canada
The main things I'm currently working on is managing programming.dev, designing the frontend for #sublinks which is a federated forum and link aggregator, making games for game jams such as Ludum Dare, Brackeys, and GMTK, and working on a main game which is a roguelite platformer
You can find all of my socials on me.programming.dev/@Ategon and ive got some gifs of some of my jam games attached -
Some more progress on the home page visuals for sublinks. Added back in the options for post sort and scope and added new communities to the sidebar on the right
going to be spending future days now cleaning it up and fixing various bugs that popped up
#sublinks #fediverse -
hey this is my introduction I guess for this account
My name is Gavi, I'm 23 years old, my pronouns are he/him/his and this is my programming and computer focused account. Join me here if you want as I work to try to get accustomed to java and typescript and talk about Sublinks as it develops.
#Programming #Java #Sublinks #Typescript #FediDev -
Hi, just a heads for those who might be curious about sublinks and its development. There's an official account posting development updates at @[email protected], and if you're interested in seeing the really cool progress with the frontend there's @[email protected]
#Sublinks #Fediverse #FediDev -
Set up a page for sublinks on our linkstack instance for anyone who wants to see all related links
Have the main sites + links to microblogs of some of the developers

More popover improvements
Added some stats to the bottom of the community popover. Also have chips created from markdown able to be populated with any community now.
Did various other misc improvements to improve how popovers are coded in and to fix positioning (although some cases are still a bit scuffed atm)
Got a gif with some popover recursion attached to show off the new stuff
#sublinks #fediverse -
-
Testing out various forms of polish on the popovers and expanded the ones built in (adding in things like viewing the entire link and viewing a bigger form of the thumbnail)
#sublinks #fediverse -
Been working on some user popovers that will show info when you hover over someones username anywhere
Next up: community popovers

Will be starting to share progress on the Sublinks UI that ive been working on
Starting off with some progress I’ve been making on the Home Page. Been taking things I enjoy from both alternate frontends such as Photon and Tesseract, as well as Misskey forks like Iceshrimp and Sharkey.
People who followed me as I was developing Pangora might recognize a lot of similar design decisions. Still in progress but ill try to share new progress at least every couple of days when I work on it with new additions
The left sidebar can be collapsed to show only icons for people who want a bit more space for post cards. Hovering over an option adds a popover saying what it is. In addition when you scroll down the navbar shrinks a bit to give you more space for post cards. On mobile the navbar hides completely when you scroll down and then shows again when you scroll up
The frontend is still heavily in progress so things may change a lot still before release as I refine it. If you’ve got suggestions feel free to give me them
(this is basically a mirror of my programming.dev post but wanted to start posting them here as well)

Watching some Aqua Teen Hunger Force and noticed a possible #sublinks mascot. 😂

@[email protected] You might want to try spinning up a #Sublinks instance, it has a #Lemmy compatible API (it even reuses the same frontend) but has a whole new backend (no more #Rust!) :sagume_think:
http://sublinks.org/ -
It is still early enough in the #redditmigration that #lemmy or #kbin can easily be replaced if something superior comes along. So if #piefed or #sublinks can develop their consumer facing products better and faster then they will inevitably get the community support. And since sublinks uses the existing Lemmy API it might have the best chance to do so.
You never know, the current Lemmy devs might be pushed aside tomorrow, anything could happen.

@Techmeme I left #Reddit and encourage others to do the same. We have #opensource #fediverse options now, like #lemmy and #sublinks
