A Crowdsourced Photo Gallery from the Fediverse – the Open Social Web in action
Here are some nice photos from around the fediverse: https://home.scoobysnack.net/gallery/. That page updates automatically as new photos are posted.
How did they get there? Well…
People from all over Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy and more posted photos into these communities:
https://piefed.social/c/photography
https://lemmy.world/c/photography
https://lemmy.world/c/japanpics
… and a few others. Moderators curate those communities to filter out anything obnoxious and people upvote the best ones.
Jerry used his PieFed account to create a “Feed” of 6 photography communities at https://feddit.online/f/photos. In PieFed a Feed is a bundle of communities with all their content shown together in a list. Those communities can be on any Lemmy, PieFed or Mbin instance. In the sidebar you can see all the communities in the Feed. That feed can be Followed, just like an account on Mastodon can be.
Someone on https://piefed.social followed ~photos@feddit.online (the ~ distinguishes it from a person, which uses @ at the start) which created this: https://piefed.social/f/photos@feddit.online. (Following a feed automatically subscribes one to all the communities within and if Jerry adds a new community to the feed all the subscribers auto-follow the new community. But I digress).
The author of home.scoobysnack.net looked up PieFed’s API spec and wrote some JavaScript which uses PieFed’s API to retrieve all the photos in the feed on piefed.social:
GET https://piefed.social/api/alpha/post/list?feed_id=47&limit=40&page=1&nsfw=Exclude&minimum_upvotes=0
… and finally their JavaScript displays the images.
So the journey these photos took went through 6 steps:
Mastodon / PixelFed / author -> Lemmy / PieFed / Mbin communities -> Feddit.online feed -> PieFed.social feed -> PieFed.social API -> home.scoobysnack.net
I think that’s pretty cool.

How to install Piefed using Docker Compose? I gave up installing Lemmy and Mbin. Why, after I install, is it always federation problems? Posts on original instances showed the original upvote count, but my instance showed only 1 upvote and "subscription pending" forever.

On the complexities of protocol governance.
There are only two organisations that are active in the fediverse that are a paid member of the W3C: Meta and the Social Web Foundation.
With the Social Web Foundation also receiving funding from Meta, the company that built Threads now has more institutional standing in ActivityPub governance than any of the organisations actually building open fediverse software.
Mastodon gGmbH, Framasoft, and others are not W3C members and cannot participate in the Working Group unless they are invited.#CHATONS #fediverse #fedivers #ActivityPub #w3c #Mastodon #Peertube #Lemmy #mBin #Piefed #NodeBB #Iceshrimp #Pixelfed #Loops

ICYMI, I’ll be doing my best to maintain game-day threads for #NHLJets games as much as I can for the rest of this season. If you’re a #HNOM-er or #WinnipegJets fan, you can chat about individual games in a contained thread! Accessible via #PieFed, #Lemmy, or #mbin, it’s the #Fediverse alternative to what you’ll find on Reddit. Here’s the link to today’s again: https://piefed.ca/post/455788 #GoJetsGo #Hockey
If you’re a #NHLJets :winnipeg_jets: fan looking to diversify away from centralized services into the #Fediverse, I’m optimistically creating GDTs as an alternative to Reddit. Here’s today’s: https://piefed.ca/post/455788
You can access them on #PieFed, #Lemmy, or #mbin. There’s also some magic that lets you interact from Mastodon but I’ve never figured it out. #GoJetsGo #Hockey #WinnipegJets
The #Lemmy developers are usually called "tankies" (& also TERFs). The great majority of threadiverse users are not on the developers' instance (lemmy.ml), many users block the "tankie 3" (lemmy.ml, lemmygrad.ml, hexbear) & many instances have even defederated from them altogether. Proof of the freedom of the #fediverse!
You can still access the threadiverse without getting involved with the tankies: other Lemmy instances, or #Piefed or #Mbin.
YSK that there's a community for #Blender users in the #Threadiverse: !blender@lemmy.world
You can access it if you are a user on a server with software like #PieFed or #MBin.
Je pense que je vais supprimer mon conteneur avec mbin. Je ne m'en sers absolument pas du tout, les rares fois où je m'y connecte s'avère être celles où nagios me signale qu'il n'y a plus d'espace disque... #mbin
Welcome to this week’s The Programmer’s Fulcrum. FYI, this is our first one of 100% TPF curation.
It’s your weekly review of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Fediverse development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism. We aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week.
IMHO, the best way to do that is to use […]

I tested (as a user) different #Fediverse community software, and what's really funny is the server software with the slowest programming language had the fastest server.
First class: Mastodon. It's what everyone knows (everyone outside of Lemmy at least). It's what more Mastodon users than not take for the one and only Fediverse and ActivityPub gold standard (while literally nobody outside of Mastodon does, go figure). And it's the only Fediverse server application which many Fedizens take for the entire Fediverse. (Lemmings don't refer to Lemmy as the Fediverse, although many are still completely unaware that Lemmy is connected to anything else.)
Second class: the stuff that looks like add-ons glued onto Mastodon to enhance Mastodon. Pixelfed, an Instagram clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. PeerTube, a YouTube clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. Loops, a TikTok clone glued to the Twitter clone as an add-on. WordPress, a blogging engine and content management system eventually glued to the Twitter clone. I guess you get the idea.
It's only up to the second class that Fediverse server software is generally recognised and accepted from the usual Mastodon-centric point of view.
Third class: other halfway well-known "clones" of or replacements for corporate online platforms that do not look like they're glued onto Mastodon as add-ons. This is limited to the Threadiverse (Lemmy, what's left of /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) as Reddit replacements and Friendica as "the" Facebook replacement.
Fourth class: anything that doesn't fall into the first three classes, but that has enough publicity. Like Bonfire and WriteFreely. Also, minimalist stuff for self-hosters like GoToSocial and snac. Hubzilla is ever so barely teetering on this class, if at all.
Basically, it's only up to the fourth class that Fediverse server software is known at all.
Finally, fifth class: the whole rest. I mean, why is Mastodon known as "the" Twitter alternative in the Fediverse if there are loads of others that are better, more powerful, sometimes even closer to Twitter in certain features? Why is Friendica known as "the" Facebook alternative in the Fediverse if Friendica's own creator has built a whole family tree of successors that outclass Friendica in various ways?

For example, just about everyone on Mastodon is fully convinced that Eugen Rochko has brought quote-posts to the Fediverse this year. That's because next to nobody on Mastodon knows that Friendica has been able to quote-post practically everything in the Fediverse, including Mastodon toots, for 15 years now.
And if Friendica doesn't have it, chances are still that Hubzilla has it, and that Hubzilla has probably had it for longer than Mastodon has been around, too.
For example, private messages that are actually private. Mastodon doesn't have them because the "privacy" of Mastodon DMs is only "guaranteed" by limiting whom a DM is sent to. Hubzilla does have them and has had them since 2012, since it was still named Red. How? Because Hubzilla also limits who is permitted to see a DM.
Oh, and Hubzilla even offers optional encryption on top of that.
Or how about server-independent identity? Everyone still waiting for Bluesky to finally be the pioneer who invents this and implements it for the first time? LOL! Once again, Hubzilla has had this since 2012. Not a vague concept, not an unstable proof-of-concept, but daily-driven by production-grade channels on production-grade servers. (streams) has it, too, inherited from Hubzilla through a whole number of forks. Forte has it, too, and Forte is the first and, so far, only Fediverse server software that uses ActivityPub for nomadic identity.
Now I'm waiting for someone to announce that something will "bring" actual groups "to the Fediverse". A feature that was actually introduced to the Fediverse by StatusNet in 2008, and that's also available on Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte. Not to mention that the very principle of the Threadiverse (Lemmy, the remains of /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) is based on groups.
This is what happens when you think that the feature set of the whole Fediverse is the feature set of Mastodon and maybe Pixelfed because that's all you know.
Speaking of Mastodon: Just because it's being "brought to the Fediverse", doesn't mean it'll be adopted by Mastodon.

Beispiel: Fett? Kursiv? Unterstrichen?
Code? Eingebettete Links ohne sichtbare URL?- Stichpunktliste?
Zitat?
Kann Mastodon alles nicht erzeugen. Wenn sowas da ist, kann der ganze Beitrag nicht von Mastodon sein.
Anderes Beispiel: Erwähnungen. Mastodon und seine Forks erwähnen
- mit Kurznamen
- ohne Domain
- mit dem @ im Link
Misskey und seine Forks (und Forks von Forks usw.) erwähnen
- mit Kurznamen
- mit Domain
- mit dem @ im Link
Friendica und Hubzilla erwähnen
- mit Langnamen
- mit dem @ vor dem Link
(streams) und Forte erwähnen standardmäßig wie Friendica und Hubzilla, können aber optional mit Kurznamen erwähnen, wobei auch dann das @ nicht im Link ist.
Mit Hashtags ist es ähnlich: Auf Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) und Forte ist das # kein Teil des Link, sondern es steht vor dem Link. Übrigens können die vier auch sehr viel mehr Zeichen im Hashtag haben, sogar Leerzeichen.
Wenn jemand in einem Bildpost erwähnt, daß man von dem Post das Original öffnen sollte, um alle Bilder zu sehen, weil er mehr als vier Bilder enthält, kann der Post auch nicht von Mastodon sein.
Antworten, die nicht jeden vorherigen Poster erwähnen? Sowas kann nur von Friendica und seiner Familie oder aus dem Threadiverse (Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed) kommen, wo Antworten keine Erwähnungen brauchen.
Es gibt noch ein untrügliches Zeichen, daß ein Beitrag nicht von Mastodon kommen kann. Und das ist, wenn sich darin jemand darüber aufregt, daß mal wieder das Fediverse mit Mastodon gleichgesetzt wird. Beinahe allen Mastodon-Nutzern ist das komplett Wurscht, oder sie glauben selbst, das Fediverse sei nur Mastodon.
Auch Leute, die sich darüber aufregen, wenn jemand einen langen Beitrag in lauter kleine Stücke zerschnippelt, gibt es so nicht auf Mastodon. Generell: Wenn jemand über irgendetwas motzt, was auf Mastodon völlig normal oder gar Pflicht oder sogar technisch zwingend notwendig ist, dann kommt das definitiv nicht von Mastodon.

I wish I had #fediverse (#mastodon #pleroma #akkoma #friendica #hubzilla #iceshrimp #snac #lemmy #mbin #kbin #piefed ) #client , I mean like #ELK #lmst #pl-fe #phanpy #tooty #sengi #pinafore #halcyon . That would allow me to sort my subscription feed & browse sorted feed, to see ONLY relevant posts (on topic updates follow-up's?).
Well, the mastodon feature of "LISTS" tries something similiar by allowing to make a sorted list of people\subscription, sorted by your custom category/topic. But it doesn't include #tags. Each #tag must be browsed separately, individually, manually, and there is no feature of list of tags in mastodon.
Lemmy, mbin, kbin, piefed and other #reddit #forum like #activitypub implementations allow you to have topics-threads, but each thread does not replicate very well across multiple servers/instances. Can't be easely crossposted ( by pinging multiple category-bots). And doesn't replicate & easily-searchable as classic mastodon #tags.
Other things I don't like:
- twitter like reposts. they make you feel you subscribed not to the original "reposter" friend, but to "reposted content" that you never subscribed for. the #f2f p2p architecture of #scuttlebot (#scuttlebutt) kinda eliminates that, they don't have nor show reposts. you see there only original posts, original content, of friends you follow. Kinda helps to slow down the mind from informational overflow. You can opt out to see posts of friend's friends, if you want more. Tags are also supported there.
- threads consist only of information aggretator url sharing in reddit like clones. Without having OP OC like in bbs|AgoraRoad , they just silo you to clickbait to other web sites.
