@gracjan@fishcharlie@christianselig I recently started using #Kbin on first interaction it seems better than #lemmy, certainly has better integration with other Fedi group platforms, like Friendica Forums, Lemmy communities, Gup.pe groups, etc.in addition to their native "Magazines" @realcaseyrollins
It's probably more accurate to say that it's a key differentiator between mastodon and every other social media platform on the fediverse or otherwise (eg, the *oma platforms, the *key platforms, probably friendica, certainly #lemmy though that's a different beast, etc)
@atomicpoet@fediversenews Not sure what "comment controls" are, but #lemmy provides a "lock" action to moderators/admins of communities (which are like sub-reddits) which, AFAICT, prevents the user/account from making any further comments in a thread/post.
Like #Friendica, /kbin can ban trolls from participating in groups.
Unlike Friendica, you can remove posts local to where the group is hosted.
Unfortunately, the offending comments still appears in user timelines because other Fediverse servers do not delete after comments are removed locally.
Another alternative could be #Calckey which supports groups through "Channels". However these do NOT federate.
So the #Lemmy docs cover the essentials. Seems pretty good. A community has moderators specific to that community, who can also moderate over federation from another instance!
Also, it seems a user can be locked out from a specific thread without being banned from the community.
Creating a new community is open to all lemmy to and following one subscribes you to the group like with friendica (just in case you didn’t know)
@Veritas Ohhh a wordpress like program you can easily install on any php web hosting provider for personal use, I don't know why so many #fediverse software (#mastodon, #pleroma, #misskey, #lemmy) missed the mark and went with ruby elixir and the like, I bet those are the languages devs are familiar with
I am confident many software could be refactored into php code (friendica and hubzilla already exist) and it could really help speed up growth and make some people feel in control of their data.
@butter, @dessalines, I've grown quite fond of Friendica for that very thing, following things, not just people. Not only does it let me follow topics via tags, but things like #lemmy and #guppe get added as "forums", plus I can follow any #RSS or #Atom feed. All of these are added the same as adding any other contact (follow). All of these different ways of following things get listed in the same area of my account, as "contacts", where they can be easily separated into to multiple groups (lists). Each followed hashtag, forum, contact group, or protocol type is always listed down the side of my page where I can simply click on it to filter my current feed.
I know that other #fediverse / #ActivityPub interfaces such as #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #Misskey, #Calckey, #Hubzilla, and #Streams have some/all of these capabilities, each to their own extent. However, having played around extensively with all of them, I've come to find that #Friendica is the one that works best for me. And at the end of the day, this is the only thing that matters. It may be a bit time consuming, but trying all the things is the best (only?) way to see how they'll work for you.
I don't know the ins and outs of Channels, but would just like to point to the #Fediverse Enhancements Proposals. If Channels require new mechanisms it would be best to accompany their federation support in #CalcKey with a well-documented #FEP.
The FEP was written and proposed by @nutomic and implemented in #Lemmy.
#Mastodon participated in the discussion by means of @ClearlyClaire but I do not know the extent to which Mastodon intends to be compatible, and if they will propose FEP's for their partiular Group implementation.
Despite having worked with the Misskey codebase for almost a year and a half at this point, there's still so much I don't know about it. It's a massive project filled with years of legacy code... it's a weird feeling. Excited to scrap the old backend and start fresh.
First off, I want to say that I love what the people here are doing but I do have a problem. There is never any conversation about posts. There are tons and tons of links shared but most of the time they're just articles that someone found interesting. I never see any true, meaningful discussion the way I do on reddit. Does...
@metaltoilet Let's try replying to this from Calckey instead of from my account on #Beehaw. If that works, I might try to boost it to increase visibility (of Beehaw, or of #Lemmy in general) on Calckey. Maybe that will increase visitors to both. :fediverse:
Das ist aktuell vielleicht wirklich gar keine so schlechte Idee!
Ich empfehle hier sowieso jedem ein Matrix oder XMPP Konto anzulegen und das im Profil als DM Adresse zu hinterlegen.
@tower das wurde hier schon oft vorgeschlagen, aber bis jetzt, außer bei #Lemmy, noch von keinem Entwickler einer Fediverse Plattform aufgegriffen.
Noch besser wäre es natürlich, wenn man jedes Konto unter der gleichen Adresse auch per Matrix erreicht werden kann, aber das würde natürlich alles viel komplexer machen, weshalb das so vermutlich nicht kommen wird.
Will arbitrary devs fall for the argument they better use a patchwork of #FreeSoftware tools rather than one-stop-shop integrated development experience?
@edendestroyer I have a stale domain that I've been holding onto for over 20 years & I'm thinking about turning it into a #lemmy server. I think the name is perfect: ThatInternetPlace dot com.
Back before high-speed internet &before DSL, when the world was on dial up, we had a coffee shop &added high speed internet through a t-1 internet connection in 15-minute blocks as a service.
People started referring to the coffee shop as That Internet Place so we renamed it to That Internet Place.
Just finished adding three more #ActivityPub accounts to my #KeyOxide. My #PeerTube (diode.zone), my #Lemmy (lemmygrad.ml), and my #Bookwyrm (bookwyrm.social). Looks like it's all working :D
I've got 13 identities set up now. This sort of thing is great exercise for keeping my #gpg knowledge fresh, especially when I'm having to fiddle with everything on an airgapped machine. I also went ahead and updated my master key and subkey expirations while I was at it. By 2025, the keypair will have officially been in use for a decade.
I've done my #Sunday#server updates. I'm still fiddling around with #DockerSwarm some, but most everything is back to how it was before moving over to that.
I’ve also been working on deploying a #Lemmy instance. Just waiting for my Docker Hub 🐳 pull limit to reset…😒
I'm legit sad about the news out of #Reddit surrounding their API pricing. @christianselig has built the only interface for Reddit that a lot of users will ever willingly use. I hope a fedi alternative (I’ve seen posts about #lemmy, need to check it out) can scale up fast enough, the way Mastodon did, to fill that void for folks.
