It's so crazy to me to think that I was on Xhitter for like 4 years and had a total of about 120 followers, most of which were spammers messaging me about "stream graphics".
I've been on Fedi for less than a year and have 5x that amount of followers and probably only enough spammers to count on one hand. I love this place.
@feld@lanodan Is there any way to switch to a different message broker than the one that's backed by Postgres? I'm wondering if the I/O issue that @sun and I ran into might be exacerbated by a DB-backed queue. #Pleroma
man man man ist das Anstrengend mit jemanden aus dem "Mastodon-Netzerk" zu diskutieren, der davon überzeugt ist, das mastodon die besseren Features hat als alle anderen Fediverse Dienste.
Ich frage mich nur, was soll das sein?
Die Software, die die BenutzerInnen am meisten einschränkt, soll also die bessere sein?
I'm writing you because I came across your blog site and thought you may be able to leverage the Fediverse in conjunction with your WordPress site's publishing horsepower.
As a #FOSS advocate with great enthusiasm for mass #Fediverse adoption, I'd like to suggest a couple of things for you to consider, and the following treatment can also benefit others who also have bridged over to the Fediverse that already have a WordPress installation, or have been looking to deploy one.
First, that you think about establishing a Fediverse account other than that of a stock Mastodon instance. Sure, keep your @Teri_Kanefield@mastodon.social account, just create another account for yourself on a platform that will afford you more options that can facilitate your creative freedom (let's not dissect that word, lolz) to publish posts that are in excess of a paltry 500 characters, along with things like Markup capabilities, Etc. Just a thought. ...
This leads into the next suggestion, ...
Second, why not make that account your existing WordPress blog, where you already have a permanent, branded presence and readership? Let's supercharge your WordPress site by making it a full and complete publishing platform completely integrated with the Fediverse.
There's a couple of methodologies, but generally speaking, once you install the ActivityPub plugin any future blog posts are on the Fediverse as well as any other distribution channels you may already have (say, by virtue of having installed the JetPack Social plugin that propagates into the deprecated silo networks).
One method I can recommend is to follow this basic procedure to popularize your blog posts and gain followers - just like you probably have been with the mastodon.social account you already have:
) If you've already created a new account on a more feature complete platform that's better suited for long form posting, inline images, Etc., like #Friendica, #Socialhome, any #Misskey or #Pleroma family fork platform, #Hubzilla, or #Mitra (They all have excellent Markdown support too); simply follow your #WordPress user account @<username>@terikanefield.com. If not, then simply follow your WordPress Fediverse user account from your existing masto account - which you should do anyway since I gather you have some respectable measure of followers.
2.) Everytime you publish a new news article / blog post on your WordPress site, you'll see it in your stream on your fediverse accounts.
3.) Boost each article from those accounts, your followers will see what you boost in their streams.
4.) encourage them to boost as well and/or comment - you'll see those comments in the reply section of each article on your WordPress site - Awesome!
5.) Now that you have followers of your WordPress user's Fediverse account you should be able to garner more direct interaction on your WordPress site, instead of having to post links to those posts from your mastodon.social account.
) From your @<username>@terikanefield.com account at your WordPress site, you can now directly interact with your followers, even those who post replies/comments to your articles, whether or not they are a follower of yours.
I'm taking the time to write because I see that you have a relatively decent circulation and engagement between readers and your blog articles, and the more people that see you engaging with others in the Fediverse directly from your WordPress site, the more people are encouraged to Join the Fediverse.
I am, as stated in my profile and also leading in to this, a FOSS and Privacy Advocate.
So here's a couple of links, one to the plugin itself - it's easy to install and deploy. Another older one that's still relevant that shows you how to do the install, and I think that's about it. We'll see ;)
HowTo with Video - Really simple, easy install, right from your WordPress admin panel
JetPac Social - I'm definitely not a fan of this kind of engagement (with the privacy mining, deprecated, monolithic silo networks), but you do you - it can afford you with even greater reach through syndication, and if you write about the Fediverse, well, ... So much the better!
You should also consider following the magnanimous @pfefferle - one of the primary authors of the #ActivityPub_Plugin.
❓ Hier hat jemand mal den Link zu einer richtig guten Tabelle gepostet, in der Funktionen verschiedener #Fediverse Dienste wie #Mastodon, #Friendica, #Misskey, #Pleroma usw. sehr detailliert verglichen wurden. Es kann sein, dass die Tabelle sogar editierbar war. Vielleicht Cryptpad?
Leider finde ich den Link nicht mehr.
Habt ihr eine Idee, wo es sowas im Netz gibt?
Ich suche eine Alternative zu Friendica, das ich mag, bei dem die Posts aber für manche wohl zu schlecht lesbar sind. #askfedi
I have so many follow relationships with so many talented people here!
It's so great to see all of you and your interesting projects and creations across such a variety of hobbies and professions.
It's only going to get better with Threads federation under way! Future of Fedi will sure be interesting and I'm glad to be a part of something that could fundamentally change the way "Internet" is done as a whole.
The future awaits. After years of gaining steam, Fedi has arrived.
For what seems like ages .... (about 6-8 weeks), I did not want to touch anything on my yunohost mastodon app, because the webinterface was broken, but the barebones settings were accessible. And I could still toot via my mobile app.
Finally, the interface is up and running again, but I fear a mastodon-move will be in the works, as I find the yunohost masto version very dodgy and not well maintained.
Any tips on how I can install my own server and keep all data of this version in the new one?
@leonieke
I don't know what well-developed means to you, but Hubzilla/Streams are older, more versatile, and more conservatively developed than the Mastodon juggernaut. They have their drawbacks, but are not resource hogs.
A more Mastodonistic but simpler-admin alternative might be #Pleroma ... @meneer
Wait, #Pleroma has a thing where instance admins can manage emoji collections with a package manager? Does it just use the URL once and forget it or does it set up a chron job to check for updates? Is there a way to set up an auto-updater for #Sharkey? I don't want to bother @Kitty every time @volpeon adds new ones.
I've just done a bit more testing, since my friend emma in this Raddle thread was able to confirm in her own #Postmill instance (I've tested against #Raddle too because why not) that it's a caching reverse proxy causing images to stay longer on the server. I'm able to confirm that using a query string bypasses the proxy's cache and results in the expected 404. Hooray, and I couldn't expect any better from Raddle! :ai_yay: They always take #privacy seriously. :alice_wine:
I've used this method against #Mastodon, #Pleroma, and #Misskey. The first two still returns the image I've uploaded even though I've deleted my account AND used a query string to bypass proxy cache (yikes). Misskey forcibly rewrites the URL to strip out the query string, therefore I can't conclude for 100% sure that it's a proxy's fault. But I'm still pretty confident it is the reverse proxy's doing in the case of Misskey due to the observation I mentioned earlier where the generated file URLs that never got accessed don't get cached.
Alright I'm done with this shit, #fediverse devs, do whatever with this info with mind :seija_coffee:
