Sounds like Rakuten actually...

Thanks, it's this.

Edit: oh interesting, I looked into it. We serve the absolute URL in HTML but not in markdown. I had no idea threadiverse apps read the markdown. Neat!

@rekall_incorporated@piefed.social said in [Fediverse wide cross-instance / cross-platform link substitution [UX improvement thoughts]](/post/https%3A%2F%2Fpiefed.social%2Fc%2Ffediverse%2Fp%2F1568622%2Ffediverse-wide-cross-instance-cross-platform-link-substitution-ux-improvement-thoughts): > This issue is unresolved in Lemmy, but the Lemmy brand is permanently tainted among users who are looking for alternatives to American oligarchic technology services. The low moral standards of the Lemmy devs' (support for the brutal North Korean regime, promotion of russian propaganda narratives that they know are false) is a massive turn off for the exact target market of the Fediverse. It's a fact that many Europeans looking for alternatives instinctively recognize the demagoguery of the Lemmy devs and their fans.

I don't think this is true at all.

The average user doesn't know what Lemmy is, let alone the political views of their core development team.

But don't worry, it's like that joke about vegans:

How do you know the Lemmy devs are politically dubious? Don't worry, someone on the threadiverse will tell you.

NodeBB supports ActivityPub out of the box (no plugins) as of v4 🙂

Hmm, how do you reconcile the fact that not all FEPs are applicable to all application types?

For example soft deletion is preferable but not required...

Indeed, this is where the majority of improvements to the Fediverse are shared for archival.

The very way Lemmy Piefed Mbin and NodeBB can communicate and synchronize communities is detailed in those FEPs. Check out FEP 1b12.

Well that is weird, why did the link get confuzzled...

If you're talking protocols, then why is WordPress there?

If you include Wordpress there are about 100 other softwares that should also show up, but then you also need more paper 😁

rimu@piefed.social when the question is federated outward, is it of type of question? 😛

You jest, but I'm pretty sure someone out there made a cli interface for AP.

What's the secret to Rimu's speed? Piefed is young, so any accumulated technical debt doesn't interfere with new functionality...

Yet...

Sorry rimu@piefed.social, that time will come for you 😂

 

So, this meme.

tl;dr Mastodon users occasionally spam mentions and Lemmy (and probably Piefed) ingests them all and makes the post across all of the mentioned communities.

Sucks, right, because on the theadiverse, you're not actually able to do that so easily.

Basically, it's because Mastodon mixes mentions with addressing. Every mentioned person gets addressed, even though sometimes you don't mean for it to go into that community.

So what if Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, and NodeBB made it so that only the first matching community gets the post? We can already tell which posts come from threadiverse software and which don't (because we use audience, Mastodon doesn't.)

Just an idea, I can't speak for the other softwares.

 

On ActivityPub.Space, I started adding links out to various implementors' development announcements.

I wanted to add one for Piefed, but the only community I know of is this one, piefed_meta. Anyone can post there, so I was wondering if there was a dedicated community just for Piefed announcements.

Threadiverse... on ATProto?! (activitypub.space)

Check this out: https://nooki.me/

Looks like someone's built a Reddit-like on top of ATProto. Would be really interesting to see whether it could interact with the threadiverse through something like BridgyFed, which currently only works with microblogs (I think?)

Opportunity? Existential threat? You decide...
