Evan’s job is to help build a standard implementation for groups for the W3C. He is also trying to pitch ActivityPub to organizations big and small.

The usefulness will need to be demonstrated over the long term, but this new discovery has just resulted in the creation of four new communites:

1. !recordpics@piefed.social
2. !dustbloom@piefed.social
3. !lumoura@piefed.social
4. !blue@piefed.social

The biggest problem with Friendica groups is that when someone replies to a group post, the group actor boosts all replies to people’s timelines – which proves problematic for people running microblogging software like Mastodon. This also makes popular Friendica groups highly attractive to spammers and trolls because they can say whatever in comments, and now 2.6K people are receiving those messages in their home feeds. It is also very difficult to remove comments and ban people in a Friendica group.

What I like about Piefed is that you can delete and edit anything in a community, ban people easily or unban them, review reports, mark reports as resolved / ignored. And most important, all those tools are easily accessible.

You can see Lemmy posts from Friendica. For example:

You can also see Friendica groups from Lemmy.

Looks like Piefed has a bug where, if you post from a microblogging service, the rest of the post gets cut off after a URL is written.

Here’s the original post as it exists on atomicpoet.org:

NeoDB now has five active servers!

All of them allow new sign-ups. The newest server, neodb.kevga.de, is aimed at #German speakers.

If you’re unfamiliar with #NeoDB, it is a media database and social platform that allows users to review art and media. It is similar to #GoodReads, #RateYourMusic, and #LetterBoxd. #Bookwyrm does something similar, but its specifically made for books.

NeoDB has a public user count of 20,713 with 1,980 MAUs.
