Acabei de criar esta conta para começar a fazer parte da rede federada.
Estive no serviço de #microblogging do ex-passarinho azul depois que começou, por volta de 2008, mas já não estive tão ativo há anos e saí definitivamente em 2023, por vários motivos.
Ainda estou nas plataformas Meta, já que lá estão quase todos os contatos. Porém, gostaria de reduzir a coleta de big data sobre mim e ainda de depender menos do software proprietário deles.
Non tanto diaria: sui perché e percome degli aggiornamenti del Wok. Ovvero, perché dovrei scrivere di piú sul Wok, o almeno riportarvi tutto quello che metto su #Mastodon
Most people following accounts on the Fediverse's video and audio platform PeerTube are actually on different Fediverse platforms like Mastodon etc. They will see your uploads in their Home timelines on Mastodon etc, in chronological order mixed in with all the non-PeerTube posts.
If you're a publisher on PeerTube, it's probably a good idea to avoid massive batch uploads, so you're not suddenly flooding your followers' timelines with videos/episodes.
@feditips Or maybe general-purpose #fediverse platforms like #Mastodon (or third party clients) could introduce features to better manage following non-#microblogging sources
J'ai toujours du mal a comprendre la fascination pour Bluesky par rapport à Mastodon. Techniquement c'est quand même moins riche que le fediverse, philosophiquement c'est super élitiste de ne passer que par la cooptation et politiquement c'est douteux d'encore faire confiance à un gourou de la Silicon Valley.
Fediverse-Serie: Pleroma & Akkoma: Einfache Kommunikation im Fediverse
Pleroma und Akkoma gehören wegen ihrer Einfachheit zu den beliebtesten Diensten im Fediverse. Gegenüber Mastodon bieten sie default 5000 Zeichen und einige weitere Funktionen.
Microblogs are an interesting thing. I was never able to get into Twitter or Mastodon because it feels so disorganized and chaotic to me. That said, I think microblog compatibility is low key one of Kbin’s best features with a lot of potential. The problem is that right now it seems like kbin doesn’t really know what to do...
Following the spirit of spreading across the Fediverse (and because my main instance is down so many times, because diverse reasons) I’m intrigued about the joining instance process, because I honestly don’t know what criteria to have in order to join another one if I ever want to do it....
I liked the name #kbin more than #lemmy, and the integration of #microblogging is a feature I appreciate. IME, lemmy also tends to attract more memes and shitposts, which generally turn me off.
Copy/pasted from a previous response I wrote regarding this topic. I hope it helps:
When you follow a given account on #Mastodon with your #kbin account, posts from that account will be #federated here. If they use #hashtags, then posts they write will be federated into #magazines here based on permitted tags chosen by magazine moderators which show up in the #microblogging section of a magazine. AFAIK, posts that don't get sorted into a particular magazine will be sent to @random. In order to search for magazines/communities, you can enter linux@lemmy.world into the search bar for example.
If we're asking, "Do we have so many oversized trucks because consumers wanted oversized trucks — or because car companies wanted to sell them?"
I think we'd find it's mostly because companies wanted to sell oversized trucks. Advertising, product placement, pricing, promotions all shape consumer preferences.
Also, car companies can only offer cheap trucks by skirting regulations. This is why the oversized truck Mike drives in LA is regulated less than every other car driving to get coffee in the morning.

I like the forum-style posts and #microblogging integration. The local community has also been pleasant to engage with so far. I've been running two magazines and lately have been seeing some federated Mastodon posts show up in one of the magazines I run. It's nice to have an area akin to a daily discussion thread which lets me engage with the different parts of the #fediverse.
Recently I've dove a little deeper into the Fediverse. I began with Mastodon like many others and I'm ready to move on. Mastodon as a software in comparison to similar services in the Fediverse like Calckey/Firefish, Friendica, Misskey, etc. just isn't as good and the only thing it has going for it is an established user base...
What I love about what's happening with #microblogging and #social networking right now is that we're actually comparing something that's free and open source to corporate products and framing the discussion as though something that's free and open source can actually be in competition with corporate products. That's huge. 🤯 #FOSS
Threads may seem like it's doing well for now. If I could join it, I still wouldn't. The fact that the EU won't approve it should worry people. The EU has been unable to determine how this app will protect user data privacy. That's a red flag. I'll be sticking to Mastodon for microblogging and might consider BlueSky when it's fully available.
And honestly I could do without another Zuckerberg product.
My big thing about #threads is that I use Twitter (now Mastodon) vastly differently to how I use instagram. Having a microblogging platform directly tied to my personal Instagram account is not ideal for me and - judging by how few of my friends, coworkers and family have joined the service - others as well I imagine.
I don’t plan to use #threads much because frankly I don’t use #microblogging platforms much in general (as evident by my absence here) and also I don’t like Meta—but I did make an account via #Instagram just to have a claimed account there and see what it’s like from day 1
no #fediverse connectivity yet and the app barely even functions or loads, so that’s cool. I’ll stick with what I’ve got here then :blobcat_thumbsup:
Here are the best Mastodon apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
'Mastodon has seen a big spike in new users over the last week as people look for new social network options. One of the great things about Mastodon is the thriving ecosystem of third-party apps for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users. Head below as we round up some of our favorites'
#Microblogging is ephemeral by design. Things disappear off the timeline quickly and you have to reconcile yourself to the idea that you're going to miss 90% of what's on #mastodon because a) you're not following the right folks or b) you're not online enough.
This is the primary driver for Twitter's algorithm, which attempts to pluck out the most liked (or profitable) posts and get them in front of the casual viewer.
I really just want an app that is as polished and beautiful as Ivory or Twitterrific that lets you write longer-form posts to a blog.
You would post as simply as you would to Mastodon or Twitter, but with some basic rich text and inline image support (as regular ol' HTML). It kicks out a static site (with RSS feed), and you can make your own CSS if you want, maybe the app also comes with editable templates. Upload webfonts or whatever too.
Gonna give #microblogging in m/LearnJapanese a shot. I would also like to preface this by saying it's possible some information may be incorrect or missing context. I'm human, after all. That said, I'm open to learning, refining, and adding onto this over time.
Now for the topic I'd like to discuss, one thing I find fascinating about #Japanese is their use of #subjectOmission. Once a subject is established, Japanese sentences commonly stop referring to the subject in subsequent sentences and utterances. For example,
猫は食べています。後で、(猫は)寝ます。
"As for the cat... (It) is eating. Later, (it) will sleep."
Both sentences technically omit the the subject that is doing the verb, and instead use the zero pronoun to refer to the cat.
Whereas in #English for example, if we were to #translate the Japanese sentence as literally as we could, we would get:
Cat eating. Later, sleep.
Breaking this down, the sentence "Cat eating" is #grammaticallyIncorrect. Eating is a #stativeVerb, which expresses a state or condition. In English, stative verbs require #auxiliaryVerbs for a sentence construction to be grammatically correct. We also drop "is" in the literal translation is due to the differences in what a #subjectMarker particle is as opposed to the notion of "is", which is both an auxiliary verb and an #intransitiveVerb. English also requires a subject, and due to this, "Later, sleep" would be considered grammatically incorrect.
Anyways, I think subject-omission is a pretty interesting aspect of #language and #communication as it streamlines what is said and written, and allows for more concise and efficient transmission of #knowledge and #information. Thanks for reading.

I wonder what microblogging will look like in Artemis.

What made you choose your instance?
Following the spirit of spreading across the Fediverse (and because my main instance is down so many times, because diverse reasons) I’m intrigued about the joining instance process, because I honestly don’t know what criteria to have in order to join another one if I ever want to do it....
How do I subscribe to/view content that hasn't been added to Kbin yet?
I haven't figured out how to view new content through kbin which hasn't been "added" yet....
