A geologist and archaeologist by training, a nerd by inclination - books, films, fossils, comics, rocks, games, folklore, and, generally, the rum and uncanny... Let's have it!

Elsewhere:

  • Yrtree.me - it's still early days for me in the Fediverse, so bear with me

  • Men With a Mild Fever – Arcade Rage

  • There's a while book on this topic: Of Mice and Men. Probably.

  • Alright, so what is the current recommended way to share pictures on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Oh indeed, it was more to show that there will be free invitations available, hopefully out of the view of miscreants.

  • Alright, so what is the current recommended way to share pictures on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • From here:

    We've restricted free account registrations due to abuse. We're planning to add internal invites, and allow free registrations ocassionally which will be announced on our discord server. Until then, only way to create an account and continue using lensdump is through an active donation subscription.

  • Yes, it's long been known that Prevent has been hoovering up a lot of young ND or mentally ill boys and, as an expert said on Radio 4 today, the current system is hammering round pegs through square holes and needs changing to system that assesses the level of threat someone presents. A lot of those in the system need help, not demonising.

  • ActivityPods - Our roadmap for 2025

    Jump

  • I was wondering how things were going there.

  • Alright, so what is the current recommended way to share pictures on Lemmy?

  • That’s wild ha ha

    Especially as it as just a screen replacement.

    Lensdump looks cool, but requires an account, correct?

    Yes, but it is handy to have as you can access all your old files in folders. You nay just want to bang an image up somewhere and share it but there are memes and gifs you may use multiple times.

  • I don't think I donated to get one as I wanted to test it before committing. Might have changed though.

  • I use Lensdump - I see you can now upload video too.

    Catbox is a weird one - I could see images but not video or the main page through Wi-Fi but it works on mobile signal. After getting my phone repaired it now all works. Which I can't explain.

  • NodeBB (Forum software) has officially added ActivityPub support

    Jump

  • Cool, I was trying to figure out if there was a way to do that.

  • Will 2025 be the year that venture capital discovers the Fediverse?

    Jump

  • Like Facebook event and marketplace replacements on the fediverse. Or just a Facebook alternative that isn’t Frendica. Or maybe a commercial fork of Frendica.

    What? Why? How? What?

    There's no reason monetisation can't be built into the Fediverse as it is. Ghost is looking like a good replacement for Substack for those that want to monetise their blog/newsletter. Flohmarkt is a Fediverse classified ads service. I don't think it'll be long before we see an Fediverse Patreon or eBay, for example, I just suspect the early Fediverse adopters have been so anti-capitalist that they have either rejected such things or overlooked them entirely. However, it'll be key for getting content creators to move over to the Fediverse as they'll want to keep their income stream.

    In the meantime, more attention on the Fediverse should mean grant money flows in and crowd funding takes off.

  • Pixelfed gets a mainstream media mention

    Jump

  • My first Loops video! And it's just a download from TikTok. 😕

  • Somebody created a Facebook like UI for Friendica called Bookface (expand for pics&more info)

    Jump

  • It's compatible with the Mastodon API, so some of the apps work for it. I was talking to the developer of an iOS Mastodon the other day and they are off checking compatibility at the moment.

    edit: I also started a thread on people's experience with apps on !friendica@lemmy.ca.

  • So sit your kids, and their grandparents, down. Tell them not to believe anything they see on Facebook, Twitter, Threads or Amazon TV without checking it somewhere reliable. Make your family into a little Lindisfarne for this era of lies, somewhere we can wait out the information dark age, like monks poring over illuminated manuscripts as the black dragon sails of Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos flutter on the horizon, until the future fascists either tear themselves apart, or slaughter objective truth wholesale.

    So keep our heads down and hope it will all blow over? Classic British response but I'm not sure it's good enough. A boycott is wise as it looks like all the large social media sites are bending the knee to Trump but that also doesn't bode well for the future as they can distort the political landscape because a lot of people only get their news from them. Unfortunately, abandoning all social media means they can get organised while everyone else bunkers down. Does that make us the resistance? Now there's a responsibility and a half!

  • My year of Fediverse explorations - Elena Rossini

    Jump

  • That's her description of her ideal social network, "found" is probably a bit misleading here where "I came up with the features I'd like to see in my ideal social network".

    do we have to make it ?

    Kinda. However, from her description what is really needed is a big push to improve the UX/UI of Friendica (probably work on not overwhelming the new user with so many options too) and get it a lot more stable (although in her Friendica piece, she suggests it might be the instance she was on). Better that than reinvent the wheel.

    The good thing is that it feels like Friendica's time has come - Meta is enshittifying, Bluesky is popular but people are wary of where it is going and Xitter is a dumpster fire. With more people using it, there will be more focus on improving it and it could be ready to blow up like Pixelfed just has.

  • It's compatible with the Mastodon API, so you can use those apps.

  • Fediverse Tumblr equivalents

    Jump

  • That's what I was thinking. I know one I complaint about Friendica is the interface is a bit clunky, so that might help address the issue.
