Well its great work on the PeerTube federation! I do think there are some meaningful ideas there, that are IMO very much worth exploring further. WriteFreely/WordPress federation also seem like an interesting direction to me

 

I take a deep dive into crypto-based social network Farcaster, aka Torment-Nexus-on-the-blockchain.

I think that crypto/web3 is mostly really dumb and bad, but I also do think that what happens on other decentralised social networks is relevant to understand the fediverse. The different protocols influence each other and I dont think they should be understood in isolation. That is why I wanted to have a better understanding of what Farcaster is, and why a16z wanted to spend so much money on it.

Small detail that I think is actually quite meaningful:

The article is written by editor-in-chief Nilay Patel. Nilay does not usually write a whole lot of articles, as he's the boss, and the articles he writes are often more commentary (like the famous 'welcome to hell' article for Elon, or his running joke on Brother printers). Within The Verge its usually more David Pierce as a true fediverse believer than Nilay.

Futhermore, earlier this week Nilay posted on Threads a response to Ghost's survey about federation: "Curious how you approach federation for paid newsletters! (Because we want to figure that out too)" https://www.threads.net/@reckless1280/post/C51n5gmvvCJ

Thanks! And yeah, last few weeks have gotten wayy busier with news, its quite noticeable to me. I'm especially excited that there is lots of news outside of the microblogging sphere as well, that part is the most interesting part of the fediverse to me

(mentions to my indieweb account are still broken for some reason, no idea why haha)

yeah its a big deal because of the spillover effort on how much easier this makes conversations with other gov officials about setting up a fedi server. I'm somewhat involved in this process at this point, and now being able to say that 'biden is on the fediverse' really impacts lobbying for the fediverse more broadly

huh, i wouldnt have expected that actually, but at least its nice that something works

[–] fediverse_report@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (4 children)

yeah that makes sense. thanks a lot of testing with me tho, much appreciated!

oh, final check out of interest: did this comment made from lemmy show up in your hachyderm notifications at least?

now this thing is just fucking with me lmao. how??? im so confused. i tried it on another account on mastodon.nl as well, plus I can find lemmy.ml posts if i search for them from indieweb.social, so it does not seem like the instances are defederated

[–] fediverse_report@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

wuut, how does it work for you

[–] fediverse_report@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they're working on a new project that will supersede audon, apparently https://firefish.social/notes/9j5dw744p5qnqwxp

yeah its great to have more managed hosting options. The UX is also really well done, which is great and something I dont see to often in these places. Need to get some time next few days to start up a new lemmy project with this

Proper URL, because edits dont federate from Mastodon to Lemmy it seems: https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-the-fediverse-episode-24/

yay thanks!

well the fun part is figuring out how this all works, and what the etiquette is, i simply have no idea either. reddits always been a bit iffy with submitting your own content, which i understand. But its not iffy to make a masto post to promote your own content, and tagging a lemmy group is temptingly easy to do...

(also commenting with lemmy account because i cant get my calckey account to do it lol)
