I write the Fediverse Report. This is my public account. fediversereport.com [email protected] [email protected]
I've tried multiple channels, and I never managed from other software, even though I could find the underlying individual videos that are part of the channels. Can you link an example?
Hello from my Kbin account!
I agree that this part of the article is not well developed, and I should have probably rewritten it. What I was trying to get at is that Flipboard has a hierarchy that is unique: The Actor owns a Group, with the Actor being the highest level, and the Magazine below it.
While you could probably map a Flipboard Magazine onto a ActivityPub Group similarly like a Kbin Magazine is a Group, the intended usecase is still quite different, even though they are both link-aggregators. I dont think this is an insurmountable problem per se, but I dont agree that Kbins Magazines are super similar to Flipboards Magazines. If you wanted an fediverse comparison, I think Flipboards Magazines are actually way closer to the Postmarks.
if anything, its gotten worse tbh. the upside is that the move account feature to mastodon works, was a bit concerned about that.
it doesnt block your old account after a move like mastodon does, so i still have a functional firefish account, just not my followers anymore
chris stating that hes hesitant to open his new (4 person) firefish server to other people until theyve tested more for stability makes me quite hesitant to recommend the platform for now, if stability issues are this deeply ingrained
wishing you all the best Ernest!
hey, thanks for letting me know. I think thats cloudflare, as its a pretty standard wordpress blog that I've not actively enabled settings to hide stuff behind captchas etc. Not really sure why it happens, but im taking a look

No, the value is in pulling in posts with a hashtag that arent being followed yet. But it feels like that isnt really possible yet, and that someone from kbin.social has to follow the account?
Only partial federation of hashtagged posts to Kbin microblog?
I've been looking for a usecase to see where the combination of Threads and Microblog was particularly useful, and with the news around the potential superconductor #LK99 I figured this would be an interesting test case. So I made a magazine on kbin.social for LK99, and added the hashtags to tags in settings.
But now only some tagged posts show up under microblog. So it does work, because otherwise 0 posts would appear. But if I search on mastodon.social for #LK99, I get way more posts, and only about a third of them show up on Kbin.
Its probably something to do with federation, but I'm not really sure where it goes wrong. Interestingly, even some posts that are made on mastodon.social that are correctly tagged do not show up on kbin, even though other posts from mastodon.social do. I even made sure to follow this account with my mastodon.social account to guarantee federation between the servers.
Anyone has an idea how this works? And if there is a way to force more of the posts to show up?

The Nordic Council of Ministers set up a Think Tank for digital strategy stuff last year, and they published their recommendations two months ago. They specifically advised all the Nordic governments to go all in on ActivityPub.

hell yeah interop is awesome!
soms wel fijn om toch af en toe een klein beetje trots te kunnen zijn op onze overheid
Dutch government has officially launched their Mastodon server
The server is now live and in use at social.overheid.nl
The official announcement post by the State Secretary of Digitalisation: https://social.overheid.nl/@avhuffelen/110700825255524685
In the post she mentions that the government supports 'value-driven' alternatives to social media. In a letter to the house of representatives she describes Mastodon as a Digital Common Good, and that it fits in the larger strategy of the government of using 'open source, unless' (meaning theyll always use open source unless there is a clear explicit reason not to).

Vandaag lanceren wij onze overheidsserver op Mastodon.
In de brief die ik aan de Kamer heb gestuurd over 'Digitale gemeenschapsgoederen' op 22 juni, heb ik aangegeven dat ik twee waardengedreven alternatieven voor social media ondersteun.
Een van deze alternatieven is een 'eigen' Mastodon-server die door overheidsorganisaties gebruikt worden.
Hiermee zetten we weer een stap in onze Werkagenda Waardengedreven Digitaliseren.

Thank you for the update and thoroughness! That growth from may to june is insane, massive props for keeping this all working and afloat!
Strava Ukraini!
yeah I think it would be good to do more. hashtags are clunky and an eyesore, and I would love to see better support of them that mitigates this. But currently they are the main way to signal discoverability on the fediverse. And posts on kbin are (usually) made with the intention that the public can interact with them.
One thing I would like to see is an extra field when you submit your post where you can add in some hashtags. These can be rendered as Tags in activitypub, which do exactly the same thing as hashtags, except that they are not visible in the main body of the text. The ActivityPub wordpress plugin also does this. I add tags to my posts on wordpress, and when you search for that hashtag, my wordpress blog post shows up, even though you'll not find the hashtag anywhere in the body of the text.
Toch mooi dat VanMoof zo goed het concept van de Tesla voor e-bikes probeert te zijn dat ze zelfs de financiele problemen kopieren.
yeah, its good to mention that boosts is also really relevant for the microblogging side. I actually found out about this post because i follow ernest on calckey, and he boosted it. Thats for me an important usecase of boosting kbin stuff. This looks really pretty, but it does put boosting too much in the category of 'superlike' for me.
hell yeah!
De server zelf is natuurlijk tof nieuws, en erg happy mee om te zien. Maar minstens zo relevant vind ik de toelichting van Alexandra Huffelen, waarin ze ook meer ingaat op het gedachtegoed er achter. Sowieso het benoemen van Elinor Ostrom, in de context dat digital spaces public goods zijn, is heel erg tof. Dit geeft wel aan dat dit meer is dan alleen een korte tegenreactie op Elon's Twitter, maar een structureel andere manier van kijken naar hoe je als land met het internet om wil gaan.
Germany (social.bund.de) and the EU (social.network.europa.eu) already have it. I think it's very likely that other governments, especially european ones, will start to do this.
With the internet being so dominated by american voices, I dont think a lot of people have fully appreciated the sentiment change in the higher levels of european governments. Sovereign control over their digital spaces is something that is actually mattering on the level of nation states. Its a way of thinking that is kind of new to most people, as we rarely think about the sovereign powers of nation states, and even less so in the context of the internet. But now were starting to do that again, and it actually matters.
No, latest update is from early this spring, with no updates since.

This conversation has been going on Mastodon for a while now. The problem kind of boils down to the following: there are people who think Meta is a bad actor and having the literal entire rest of the fediverse defederating is the best way of dealing with that. And there are people who also agree that Meta is a bad actor, and think that partial defederation is the best way of dealing with it.
Its really hard to come (read: impossible) to come to a consensus on this, because part of the argument about what is a better tactical approach depends on knowing how Threads implements things like account portability, and this is currently unknown. Most people even assumed that Threads would not implement this at all, but Adam Mosseri just announced that this is an important feature, so who even knows.
