Seriously, stop blaming the network/platform/software/protocol if you are not seeing the content you want to see, or seeing content you don't want to see.

Every #SNS, or #SocialMedia network, is based on (1) who you follow; and (2) who you and the people you follow interact with.

In other words, what you see and don't see was based on your how you're growing your own network. That is your personal "observable network".

It gets worse in platforms with algorithms because they push far more similar content you wouldn't normally see if you don't have any connection path to those (again, who the people you're following are interacting with).

In platforms without an algorithm, like most #Fediverse software, the closest you can get to something similar is your "Instance timeline/feed" and "Fediverse timeline/feed", which are generally 'hidden' behind another tab/section. Not like in, for example, #Threads, "For You" is the default. ("For You" is currently like the "Instance timeline/feed" but with algorithms.)

If you're seeing too much tech mumbo jumbo, you're probably following a couple of tech accounts. Or, maybe, you're just following one techie account but they're far too active in this type of content.

You want to see more art content, you have to find and follow them. Use hashtags and see who else are using it and follow those accounts you like. Or, if you like things being fed to you through an algorithm, you have to keep feeding that algorithm with keywords so it will learn what you want (again, like in Threads).

What you see and don't see is based on how you're growing your network. It's no different from your offline life, you see and hear only the things people that surrounds you are sharing.

It is not the fault of the software/platform/protocol/instance/algorithm (or lack thereof). It's all about #YOU, you are center of your "observable network". Just like how planet Earth is the center of its own "observable universe".

  • The network based on #ActivityPub (f. OStatus; OpenMicroBlogging) is called the #Fediverse (not #Mastodon )

  • #diaspora protocol is #TheFederation

  • While that running on #Nostr is #NOSTRich

  • And #ATproto is #TheATmosphere / #ATmosphere (not #Bluesky )

Now you know!

Like it or not, #Mastodon successfully did an #EEE of the #Fediverse as far as API is concerned.

Non-Mastodon software with Mastodon API implemented can be connected to third-party services like brid.gy and fedica.com, to mention a few.

It is rare to see third-party services implement any support for non-Mastodon software using their respective API. #Fedica recently added #Pixelfed support; and a few other alt #frontends support either #Misskey or #Pleroma.

So… yeah, there's no doubt the “competition” is over as far as this particular usage is concerned. Mastodon won, got what it wants. Either implement it and allow your users to use other third-party software… or don't and wait for other developers to support your platform.

Not good, but we have to face the reality sooner rather than later, so we can move forward. Maybe make it part of #ActivityPub 2.0 and finally have a universal fediverse API that all can agree with and use.

Because there must be bugs. It's a feature. ^_~

@BrikoX

> The ability to opt-out of quote posts is also currently planned, which makes it that Mastodon’s implementation will not be compatible with other fediverse implementations of quote posting.

Not surprising. Even before ActivityPub was announced, when the #fediverse was still powered by #OStatus, Mastodon was already breaking compatibility. There were countless of heated debates about almost every Mastodon-only "feature" they implemented that all other Fediverse devs were _forced_ to implement.

And here we are with yet another.

I wonder what will supporters of opt-out or anti-quotepost camp will do if the other Fediverse devs ignore this Mastodon-only "feature", and just continue with the common implementation of quote posts? Are we going to see a new reason for "fediblock", and finally fragment the Fediverse network?

@slazer2au Apologies! In any case, updated and moved the inline tags down.

[-] youronlyone@c.im 2 points 6 months ago

@vasus It is!

And apologies, hashtags are important in the fediverse. ^_^

Hmm… what I can do next time is to not use inline hashtags, and just have it in a separate line. Thank you for the feedback!

[-] youronlyone@c.im 2 points 7 months ago

@trashgirlfriend I remembered, #Walkr, a space gamification fitness app, have an option to "boost" steps when you're about to go on a long walk/run/jumping rope session. You can use it once every 24 hours only (and only lasts for 2 hours IIRC).

I think, now that you suggested it, that was maybe their solution to keeping the sensitivity fixed for their game, but giving users a chance to earn more if they're about to engage in a long session.

🤔

[-] youronlyone@c.im 2 points 7 months ago

@trashgirlfriend Ooh. I like that! It could be a widget too for easy access.

[-] youronlyone@c.im 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

@hornedfiend @schamppu I think the game is set to medium sensitivity, or Low. There are some fitness apps with a sensitivity setting, and if you place it high, it is more accurate. The problem arises if you're just moving your phone, since it's high sensitivity, it counts those as steps. So, most apps have it at medium or Low. That's my guess at least.

@commander_la_freak @emeralddawn45

That's a new way to explain it, “frame rate”.

Most #scifi that touches on #ParallelWorlds and #TimeTravel use some sort of vibration or frequency. Even in the 90s Japanese #anime entitled #SerialExperimentsLain, it used the Schumann resonance to explain its plot. And of course in #Marvel and #DC they do the same.

But, yeah, I'm not sure either about it. Is there a way to find out which author/writer first thought of this idea? Or, was it based on a real-life theory that scifi authors picked-up independently? Or, was it Star Trek that created this approach?

(And again, that frame rate approach is great. ^_^)

@RookieNerd @fediverse

Do not recommend one software and/or one instance.

Using your scenario, would you recommend photography instances based on #Mastodon knowing Mastodon only allows up to 4 “attached” images? Not only that, Mastodon will only display 4 images even if there are more than that?

Or, are you going to recommend #Pixelfed designed for images. Or, maybe #Firefish, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Streams, which all allow more than 4 images and will display all the images even if it exceeds their software's attach limit?

Quite frankly, in my opinion, with the image display alone, Mastodon is highly not recommended. So, the number of users and instances Mastodon have does not make it the best #Fediverse software, as you have mentioned earlier, “Mastodon is the level of UX other projects should aim to”. It's not.

The best approach is we understand what the user needs and suggest to them the appropriate software and instances that will suit their needs.

Let's forget about the Fediverse for a while.

We have to remember that not everyone is on Twitter or Facebook. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals who only have an Instagram account. Why? They don't need Twitter and Facebook.

In Korea, for example, they have their own culture and platforms for communication Twitter/Facebook-like, so they don't need those. But many of them have Instagram accounts.

Now, let's go back to the Fediverse.

If those are the users we are reaching out to, then there should be no problem recommending Pixelfed. Because for these target market, their only concern and type of use is to share, well, photos or their latest digital artwork. They don't care about a Twitter/Facebook-like experience or use.

That brings us back to the features of #ActivityPub. It is an “added benefit”.

  1. Users who want to follow this content creator can do so using their existing account.

Okay, you can't do this with #Lemmy, the last time I checked, however, you can do it with #Kbin. That's a Lemmy limitation, not the fediverse.

  1. For the content creator who migrated to the fediverse, in particular, Pixelfed in our scenario, they have a greater reach because they're federated.

(Extra: You can actually turn Pixelfed into a regular Twitter-like software if you are using the web UI. Although, last time I heard it will be removed eventually.)

(Extra 2: BookWyrm also allows Twitter-like feeds and interaction, it's not restricted to just books.)

Haha. You should start reading GCash's Android app reviews as well.

I heard Maya is going to do the same and start blaming how Developer Mode/Options is compromising their customers' accounts.

@Chrishering33 Welcome to the #Fediverse network kabayan!

Here is my list.

Notes:
* These are not #Mastodon-only accounts, this is a mix list from #Calckey, #BookWyrm, #Pixelfed, #Hubzilla, and other Fediverse software and servers.
