I made a thing!
After some tinkering, lots of frustration, plenty of debugging and tons of help from the devs of #mbin, i present to you my new, federated forum about all things #fermentation!
https://ferment.site
You can also interact with it from most other #Fediverse apps, like your favourite #lemmy instance, or even the one you are reading this on!
Check out our first dedicated communities for @kimchi, @vinegar or just go to the meta community @meta to see what's bubbling!
See you there!
@stfn @m0bi and everyone else, I'd be grateful for sharing :)
@fedidb well done and a good new contact point for interested people 👍
Good advice is certainly not possible on the basis of a single question, but it is a good start.
The details certainly need to be improved, for example:
If you select ‘Forum Discussions’ for ‘What type of content do you want to see or share?’, #NodeBB, Lemmy, mbin, #Piefed and #Lotide are then recommended. That fits well.
But if you select ‘Social Media Post + ’Forum Discussions", #Mastodon , #Misskey and other microblogging services are recommended, as well as #Lemmy. But not #mbin, which actually offers exactly this combination, and also not #Friendica, which can do micro-/macroblogging, but also offers forums/groups and events and federates best with both directions.
The bang (!) version originated from Laconica later renamed to StatusNet and later became GNUsocial. It was the very first and original Fediverse software, way back in 2008. It was always meant for groups.
Mastodon® software is planning on adding groups too, and they probably will use bang (!) as well. Besides, it's the only logical reason.
The sharp/pound/hashtag (#) is for hashtags ever since hashtags were invented. While the atsam (@) is for user accounts that has been around since the 90s (afaik).
What looks like an "email" is called WebFinger. It is actually a webstandard (see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebFinger ). Aside from email addresses and OpenID, the first social network [software] that used it was Laconica/StatusNet/GNUsocial in 2008 (the birth of the Fediverse).
Since Threadiverse software like Lemmy, Kbin, and Mbin were built for the Fediverse network, they're following the standards and established practices, instead of reinventing the wheel. If they were joining the Matrix network, they no doubt would follow the standards and practices in the Matrix network.
That's the answer to "why".
When we made a post asking about Lemmy instances, we got so many replies for not only #Lemmy instances but also about #MBin and #PieFed! Thanks for your support!
We ultimately ended up choosing https://lemm.ee as the instance for our official community. You can join it here: https://lemm.ee/c/TenacityAudio. Please spread the word far and wide to let everyone know that we have an official place of discussion again! This has been a long time in the making and it's finally here!
Does anyone know a #threadiverse instance that isn't dominated by the Extremely Political™?

Mbin v1.8.2 released
Mbin v1.8.2 released #docker #mbin #release #update #fediverse #compose #docs #updatesLooking for a wiki editor for Mbin guide
Hi everyone !
I'm currently writting a wiki guide for PieFed. And i would like to offer you a guide for Mbin, however, i don't know it well enough.
So i'm looking for a Mbin user that know well how moderation tool work, a bit of sysadmin. The idea is to explain to user :
- what it can do
- what are the federated software (mastodon)
- what are its cool features
- its apps
A small guide for users to explore other forumverse software. If you know interested users, mention them and me in comments. 😁👍
NB : I deactivated DMs to block Nicole spam, so use mentions 😉
Finally made some progress in testing the mbins ActivityPub code 💪
Still a long way to go though and paratest is giving me nightmares 😅
@futurebird@sauropods.win
It's not nicely organised from Mastodon's point of view, but there are some services in the Fediverse that offer communities and where you can also participate with your Mastodon account: #Lemmy #mbin #Piefed #Friendica
🚀 A little guide on how to communicate with #Lemmy from #Mastodon #Friendica #Hubzilla #Sharkey etc
You may find Lemmy communities or Friendica groups/ forums here on topics that interest you
Fediverse Wiki (alpha)
Preamble
Since PieFed allow us to use collaborative editing, we will create several guide pages on lemmy, mbin and PieFed. :)
Currently i only know lemmy guide, it's normal, that's the software i use the most along IceShrimp.
i want to rewrite the current guides so they are less lemmy centric and more open to the fediverse. Mind, it will take time.
Meanwhile, here are the link to the first wiki page. Only mods and admins can edit them. We could open edition to members of this community but i'm kinda scared of possible edit war. :)
Wiki
The following hashtags are trending across South African Mastodon instances:
#aprilfoolsday
#sleep
#polls
#fedia
#mbin
#fediverse
#dreamed
Based on recent posts made by non-automated accounts. Posts with more boosts, favourites, and replies are weighted higher.
Is fedia.io down for everyone else too?
tl;dr — how do PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin handle cross-posting?
Currently, when a NodeBB admin moves a topic from the uncategorized pseudo-category into a local category, we federate out an as:Announce
, people typically think of that as a "boost" or "share".
That worked fine when the entirety of the category list was your local categories plus the "uncategorized" pseudo-category. However, now that NodeBB is moving towards supporting remote categories (via group actors), this UX makes less sense. We wouldn't want to "move" a topic out of the category it is supposed to be in, just for visibility to other local users. Additionally, topic moving was limited to administrators, and from the get-go we knew it would eventually cause issues because people other than admins would want to share topics to other local users.
This is where the "cross-post" functionality comes in, which is entirely new to NodeBB. I don't think this is new to other AP-enabled threaded discussion software. The idea would be that if a new topic comes in, whether it's uncategorized or not, any user could "cross-post" that topic to a local category, where it would be visible to other users on that instance. On the ActivityPub side, we would then federate out an as:Announce
as we already do.
Is this what PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin already do, if they support cross-posting? What other alternative solutions would there be to this problem?

@jasperb @sebastian @futurebird @Gargron @dansup @pixelfed Interesting detail from that link: "Mastodon has been developing a built-in groups feature for some time now, but it hasn’t been released yet. From the screenshots posted so far, it seems it will be more of a Facebook Groups type forum rather than a public discussion list. (You can see highly technical details and screenshots of this upcoming Groups feature on their github page https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/19059 )
"However, it is unclear if Mastodon groups will work across the Fediverse or only on Mastodon. Guppe is platform-neutral, and will work on any kind of Fediverse server that supports microblogging including Mastodon, Friendica and others."
https://fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on-the-fediverse/
Lots of activity on the Github page around 2022 by @ClearlyClaire but not much since?
Also, there's a video on how it'll work, and this note: "This PR is not intended to be merged outside of purely development environments until it's finished. While it has reached a pretty stable state, groups are a complicated topic, and the database model, API and protocol design may change before the PR gets merged, with no clear migration path between versions of this PR."
