  1. This is going to be the first #Threadiverse instance in Bangladesh (probably in South Asia too!)

  2. Please suggest some cool names for a threadiverse (Piefed) instance for Bangladesh. I'll be using the .bd domain.

    Edit: I went for yell.bd

  4. @vindarel And regarding slopman, I wouldn't touch anything they 'wrote' with a ten foot poole. If anything I'm a little disappointed that they haven't been banned already from places like r/CommonLisp. Makes we want to invest in growing the #threadiverse. There is [email protected] but it seems the moderators there are innactive

  9. I'm super excited - I just deployed the forums feature in catodon.rocks and it seems to work, I made my first post in a Lemmy community!

    I definitely have a lot of work to do, but you can -cautiously!- test the feature on our server, it is live. If something serious shows up, I will revert it and try again tomorrow. But this feels awesome - the first (proper) threadiverse post from a Misskey/Sharkey fork! Let's go
    🥳

    RE: https://catodon.rocks/notes/akv4dziup8bz00hy

  10. I've made good progress on the threadiverse implementation today. I also had a great interaction with @[email protected] from Piefed and we're making sure that emoji reactions between Piefed and Catodon servers will be properly federated!

    And after some thought, I decided this: Forums in Catodon will be created by admins only. I thought of this as a first step initially, but I think I'll keep it as a permanent choice - letting everyone create forums can cause unnecessary noise, let's have more quality than quantity. It will save us a lot of complexity, and if you want to talk about something very specific, you can contact your admins and see if it's something they'd like to add to your community. Also, this means that I can probably ship the full feature in 26.4.1, instead of rolling it out in two phases like I was thinking, first for only following remote communities, and adding forum creation in a later release. So this feature could come very soon - perhaps even next week if tests go well!

    In the meantime, here's a WIP screenshot, as proof that this is happening
    😁

  11. And for my next trick: Catodon forums.
    Yep. I'm bringing the threadiverse to the misskeyverse.

  12. There are niches, niches within a niche, and then there's a community specifically for lesbians that speak the constructed language #TokiPona and happen to have an account in the #Threadiverse : mlmym.lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/meli…

  17. CW: How the various Fediverse server applications are effectively tiered; CW: long (over 2,400 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse-beyond-Mastodon meta, Twitter mentioned, Facebook mentioned, Instagram mentioned, YouTube mentioned, TikTok mentioned, Reddit mentioned
    We have a five-class Fediverse nowadays.

    First class: Mastodon. It's what everyone knows (everyone outside of Lemmy at least). It's what more Mastodon users than not take for the one and only Fediverse and ActivityPub gold standard (while literally nobody outside of Mastodon does, go figure). And it's the only Fediverse server application which many Fedizens take for the entire Fediverse. (Lemmings don't refer to Lemmy as the Fediverse, although many are still completely unaware that Lemmy is connected to anything else.)

    Second class: the stuff that looks like add-ons glued onto Mastodon to enhance Mastodon. Pixelfed, an Instagram clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. PeerTube, a YouTube clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. Loops, a TikTok clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. WordPress, a blogging engine and content management system eventually glued to the Twitter clone. I guess you get the idea.

    It's only up to the second class that Fediverse server software is generally recognised and accepted from the usual Mastodon-centric point of view.

    Third class: other halfway well-known "clones" of or replacements for corporate online platforms that do not look like they're glued onto Mastodon as add-ons. This is limited to the Threadiverse (Lemmy, what's left of /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) as Reddit replacements and Friendica as "the" Facebook replacement.

    Fourth class: anything that doesn't fall into the first three classes, but that has enough publicity. Like Bonfire and WriteFreely. Also, minimalist stuff for self-hosters like GoToSocial and snac. Hubzilla is ever so barely teetering on this class, if at all.

    Basically, it's only up to the fourth class that Fediverse server software is known at all.

    Finally, fifth class: the whole rest. I mean, why is Mastodon known as "the" Twitter alternative in the Fediverse if there are loads of others that are better, more powerful, sometimes even closer to Twitter in certain features? Why is Friendica known as "the" Facebook alternative in the Fediverse if Friendica's own creator has built a whole family tree of successors that outclass Friendica in various ways?

  21. CW: Many innovations that are being "brought to the Fediverse" have been in the Fediverse for a decade or longer; CW: long (over 2,500 characters), Fediverse meta, Fediverse-beyond-Mastodon meta
    Whenever someone announces to "bring" something "to the Fediverse", chances are that Friendica has actually had it since 2010, for five and a half years longer than Mastodon has been around.

    For example, just about everyone on Mastodon is fully convinced that Eugen Rochko has brought quote-posts to the Fediverse this year. That's because next to nobody on Mastodon knows that Friendica has been able to quote-post practically everything in the Fediverse, including Mastodon toots, for 15 years now.

    And if Friendica doesn't have it, chances are still that Hubzilla has it, and that Hubzilla has probably had it for longer than Mastodon has been around, too.

    For example, private messages that are actually private. Mastodon doesn't have them because the "privacy" of Mastodon DMs is only "guaranteed" by limiting whom a DM is sent to. Hubzilla does have them and has had them since 2012, since it was still named Red. How? Because Hubzilla also limits who is permitted to see a DM.

    Oh, and Hubzilla even offers optional encryption on top of that.

    Or how about server-independent identity? Everyone still waiting for Bluesky to finally be the pioneer who invents this and implements it for the first time? LOL! Once again, Hubzilla has had this since 2012. Not a vague concept, not an unstable proof-of-concept, but daily-driven by production-grade channels on production-grade servers. (streams) has it, too, inherited from Hubzilla through a whole number of forks. Forte has it, too, and Forte is the first and, so far, only Fediverse server software that uses ActivityPub for nomadic identity.

    Now I'm waiting for someone to announce that something will "bring" actual groups "to the Fediverse". A feature that was actually introduced to the Fediverse by StatusNet in 2008, and that's also available on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte. Not to mention that the very principle of the Threadiverse (Lemmy, the remains of /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) is based on groups.

    This is what happens when you think that the feature set of the whole Fediverse is the feature set of Mastodon and maybe Pixelfed because that's all you know.

    Speaking of Mastodon: Just because it's being "brought to the Fediverse", doesn't mean it'll be adopted by Mastodon.

  22. I wonder when the so-called Dead Internet Theory (more of Dead Internet Eldritch Curse) first embraced the #fediverse. Because, now, #mastodon (and, by extension, all the other #microblogging platforms) offers this awesome feature of bots talking to other bots, so you won't miss this lovely aspect from the mainstream social media...

    Didn't see it yet for
    #threadiverse but I bet it happens there, too... After all, there are entire instances and communities dedicated for bots to post, so I can imagine a scenario of a bot posting a thread that happens to include a YouTube video just for the thread to be replied by that Invidious bot that goes by "I found a YouTube link in your post" and/or another automod bot.

    #geminispace, #gopherspace, #tildeverse and others better get ready for Dead Internet Theory, too. Soon available in a capsule/hole/tilde next to you. (Insert the smoking doomer guy emoji here: ​:doomer:​ )
