I see that you have a very good quota of comments that you get on every lemmy post you make. I dont think that’s true for every poster, especially when posting to niche lemmy communities.

But yes: of course the lemmy format invites comments way more than the microblogging format of mastodon

I mean, in microblogging a lot of posts will have no discussions simply because thats the nature of microblogging. But if you saw no interaction and discussion under posts of people who have lots of followers, then certainly yes.

It means that if you see a post, you will finally see all replies and interactions to that post. Currently this is not working.

Mastodon mainly only looks like there is no interaction happening because of their federating logic. Which is being worked on to be fixed sometimes this year

Ah, I stand corrected!

For KDE, I think @bshah@fosstodon.org and @ravi@toot.io do post from mastodon to lemmy

I dont think Lemmy has a timeout function. Would be great though

Best you ask at !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Yes, the ay they do it at KDE is the most seamless imteraction currently possible between lemmy and mastodon

You read the post past that sentence?

Edit: for those who don’t know, Sharkey, Iceshrimp, Catodon and Firefish are fediverse software that sometimes are referred to as “*key” because they are all forks of the Misskey software.

Hosted Wordpress with ActivityPub plugin

These services are mainly relevant for PC/browser users. Apps should be able to resolve the original links to open them natively (at least Boost does that). And with Lemmy 1.0 coming up this will be in the codebase of Lemmy itself.

There are now Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEP) that are being published by Fedi developers with the goal to improve interoperability and well-being of diverse services, applications and communities that form the Fediverse.

From the RFC that is linked above:

“Plugins will make Lemmy more flexible, and allow implementing features which are too niche for merging into Lemmy core. It will allow Lemmy to focus on core features, while allowing outside developers to contribute new features without using Rust.”

Everyone I ever talked to told me “well yes we have to implement our own version of ActivityPub because AP is under-defined”. In most cases it is defined what AP does, but not how. Therefore individual programers go in and figure out on their own how a certain thing they are building for their platform should be structured in AP.

Now, every project could simply go “I will copy the way Pixelfed implements it”. But why should PF have that priviledge?

That is still not the point the commenter and the original blog author were making.

What we can take away from this episode is that Pixelfed implemented the fix in a way that suggests they would not handle a 0 day exploit with a “reql” vulnerability well. And having followed dansup’s projects for a while that doesnt surprise me, because he clearly prefers to work “chaoticly” than in a structured, regulated way.

The “taking the heat” is something completely seprrate and boils down to stupid people on the internet needing to be angry at someone.

I belive vernissage.photos allows that (but not sure)

Imo it demonstrates that for certain threat models the fediverse simply doesn’t have the 100% secure answers.

It’s probably users not setting their posts’ language properly.

“Pixelfed itself has also grown, and there are now reportedly 8 people joining the team.”
