Small detail that I think is actually quite meaningful:
The article is written by editor-in-chief Nilay Patel. Nilay does not usually write a whole lot of articles, as he’s the boss, and the articles he writes are often more commentary (like the famous ‘welcome to hell’ article for Elon, or his running joke on Brother printers). Within The Verge its usually more David Pierce as a true fediverse believer than Nilay.
Futhermore, earlier this week Nilay posted on Threads a response to Ghost’s survey about federation: “Curious how you approach federation for paid newsletters! (Because we want to figure that out too)” https://www.threads.net/@reckless1280/post/C51n5gmvvCJ
Thanks! And yeah, last few weeks have gotten wayy busier with news, its quite noticeable to me. I’m especially excited that there is lots of news outside of the microblogging sphere as well, that part is the most interesting part of the fediverse to me
(mentions to my indieweb account are still broken for some reason, no idea why haha)
The value is in the granular way that you can connect communities. You’re totally right that there are a lot of cases where there are good reasons not to connect communities. That goes across instance borders (like you said, Beehaw and Hexbear would preferably not connect communities), but even for instances that are similar, not all communities need to be connected. In the current example of the Social Hub forum and the NodeBB development forum, only 2 communities (categories) are connected, and the rest is not.
yeah its a big deal because of the spillover effort on how much easier this makes conversations with other gov officials about setting up a fedi server. I’m somewhat involved in this process at this point, and now being able to say that ‘biden is on the fediverse’ really impacts lobbying for the fediverse more broadly
do you mean something like vocata? https://codeberg.org/Vocata/vocata
think that would be super valuable to have for sure, but my non-dev vibes say that its probably above a one-man project, so might be hard to pull off?
i dunno, never used really used friendica much. reply didnt get send back to friendica tho
huh, i wouldnt have expected that actually, but at least its nice that something works
yeah that makes sense. thanks a lot of testing with me tho, much appreciated!
oh, final check out of interest: did this comment made from lemmy show up in your hachyderm notifications at least?
now this thing is just fucking with me lmao. how??? im so confused. i tried it on another account on mastodon.nl as well, plus I can find lemmy.ml posts if i search for them from indieweb.social, so it does not seem like the instances are defederated
they’re working on a new project that will supersede audon, apparently https://firefish.social/notes/9j5dw744p5qnqwxp
check out https://fediview.com/, it sorts your personal mastodon home timeline via an algorithm that you can pick.
I’m very curious as to what people’s view on etiquette is regarding submitting your own content. I write a weekly newsletter about the fediverse which is pretty relevant to this community for example. But I’m also quite aware of reddiquette thats pretty hesitant on submitting your own stuff, as it can get spammy really fast. Would love to hear.
yay thanks!
well the fun part is figuring out how this all works, and what the etiquette is, i simply have no idea either. reddits always been a bit iffy with submitting your own content, which i understand. But its not iffy to make a masto post to promote your own content, and tagging a lemmy group is temptingly easy to do…
(also commenting with lemmy account because i cant get my calckey account to do it lol)
