  • 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

    Jump

  • > None of this "Universal Star-child" bullshit.

    Bang on. It's the same reason I couldn't stand Discovery. There's a universe ending problem and you alone are the key to solving it? Blech.

    Fan fic with higher production values.

    I think Batel was a well written character, otherwise.

  • Sorry you're just in the wrong because you don't know how to easily spell my new app nncjcosiwhebf

    duh.

  • [fluff post] If lemmy users are Lemmites, what would we like to call piefed users?

    There's a lot of discussion of Mississippi's age verification law for social media today, after Bluesky announced they're blocking the state.

    Jump

  • Thanks for posting about this thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange

    I'm interested (in a tired defeatist way) in what I need to do to stay on the right side.

    It sounds like geoblocking is probably the quickest legally safe course of action, so perhaps it's bye Mississippi too...

  • Why do some instances not load communities properly?

    Jump

  • Well, the good news is at least with conversational backfill, you'll be able to pull the entire reply tree 😁

  • Pixelfed Uptick in Monthly Active Users

    Jump

  • jgrim@discuss.online Pixelfed has no versioning? That's concerning that you have to live on the bleeding edge if you don't want to be outdated.

    I do see there are tags, which at least shows some versioning?

  • FediForum October 2025 Tickets Are Now Out!

    Jump

  • troyunrau@lemmy.ca fwiw the organizers are quite transparent with how the tickets are priced and where the money goes.

    Hosting a conference, even one that's online, does take money.

  • Fedicon 2025 is currently taking place. All the videos are being posted in this PeerTube account

    Jump

  • I think maybe posting each individual video to this community might be helpful so individualized discussions could take place.

  • CMS/Newsletter plattform Ghost joins the fediverse

    Jump

  • That is completely on brand with how the Ghost team operates. It's wonderful to see.

  • CMS/Newsletter plattform Ghost joins the fediverse

    Jump

  • Heyyyy, I'm one of the "many more"! :laughing:

    Seriously this is super cool. With Ghost and WordPress on the fediverse we're that much closer to connecting the social web and the world wide web together.

    There's some concern that this doesn't really apply to the threadiverse, but it does, and I will work my damned hardest that it does. WordPress blogs already show up as communities here. Ghost blogs don't, but I will continue to advocate for it.

    Fedicon is happening in Vancouver, BC this weekend

  • Followers-only replies are broken between pixelfed & mastodon (non-mutuals can’t see them)

    Jump

  • occultist8128@infosec.pub "followers only" is a concept that is Mastodon specific, and Pixelfed supports it.

    There's nothing to change at the protocol level itself.

    Sending the reply to OP in your example would be a betrayal of the visibility of followers only... which is kind of silly but technically correct.

    Better would be followers + participants, but that's up to the individual implementors to adopt.

  • Federated Social Media with Topic-Based Following and Blocking?

    Jump

  • pumpkindrama@reddthat.com NodeBB supports topic based following, because it's a forum and that's literally how it was done way back then.

    You can follow tags as well.

  • What are the forum-like communities that are federated?

    Jump

  • Loops is newly funded, so that round is still active. I still wouldn't get hype about it until it happens though! 😉

  • What are the forum-like communities that are federated?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately it actually isn't. NodeBB (me!) and Discourse are the only two forums that federate.

    NodeBB has full two-way support with discovery features, Discourse is mostly broadcast-style (i.e. you can't find Lemmy posts from Discourse)

  • Theoretically, it shouldn't matter.

    In the ideal case every connected server should host a full and complete copy of the data from the originating server (as xkdrxodrixkr@feddit.org says, that's B)

    Reality is a bit different, but not enough to warrant always picking B. Just share whichever you'd like, but B is the most right.

  • Communities not existing on all instances is a big problem.

    Jump

  • Yes. When the reply is posted to C, it is sent to A. A then sends as:Announce to C, as well as any other communities that follow it.

    B seems to be irrelevant here.

    Jump

  • Hi! We should chat.

    NodeBB also does this, and currently still does. A category (group actor) can follow another category (also a group actor).

    It essentially is synchronization of categories using 1b12.

    Proof of concept does work but it needs reworking in some ways. The largest issue is that Lemmy itself doesn't understand when a group actor tries to follow a community.

    OF alternative fediverse?

    Jump

  • Tell me about it! There are some very cool people (i.e. thisismissem@hachyderm.io) working on content classification and tagging so that the burden of filtering out this kind of content isn't borne by server admins directly.

    Search sucks! Yeah, it does, and here's why.
