@panos@community.nodebb.org I’m also not able to fetch it directly

https://catodon.rocks/notes/akv4dziup8bz00hy sends HTTP 401 to my local dev instance. Might be because it’s a localhost address.

It loads on from a properly hosted instance though :)

@panos@community.nodebb.org Was not able to resolve the post, but I don’t think it’s your fault, lemmy.world turned on CF bot protection and it’s blocking me :(

Pretty sure if Obama, Clinton, Biden, or Harris said “praise be to Allah” in a tweet the media would crucify them no matter the context.

But when Trump does it, crickets.

Very cool to see fresh new forums popping up! I’ve written a NodeBB-specific federation kickstart guide here that you may be interested in 🙂

@rabiezaater@piefed.social not all instances enable them. I think Piefed can restrict them in some manners (local users only, or something), and in NodeBB you can disable them completely.

It’s not an all-or-nothing proposition, if you think downvotes are not good, run a software (or join an instance) that doesn’t have them enabled.

To my knowledge, Catodon was started by @panos@catodon.rocks, who for the longest time was a Firefish advocate, but was disappointed by the bait and switch pulled by those devs.

With the advent of AI, Panos is taking it upon himself to fork Firefish and build the social media experience he wanted all long.

Can’t really argue with that :smile:

I disagree. I think that you can have both.

I think big tech has proven that it cannot be trusted. Their priorities are simply not in alignment with our own. Legislation seems to be the only lever that can hope to rein them in (market forces are no longer strong enough).

At the same time, smaller networks do not have the resources to comply with government regulations to a T, and so they should be given a longer leash. Governments also do not have the resources to chase down every Tom, Dick, and Harry running a Lemmy server (well, they do, but they shouldn’t.)

Whether reality will play out this way is uncertain.

Isn’t that basically a Piefed topic?

I’m talking to you from it right now 🤨

@ntn888@lemmy.ml yep, it’s a forum you can self host.

https://github.com/nodebb/nodebb

Or join activitypub.space (but that one is geared toward fediverse developers)

Different software can do this in a less privacy invasive way.

NodeBB has “popular” filters that show you what is generating discussion (per day, week, month, etc.)

The potential for abuse or culture clash comes when these disparate (yet related) communities are combined.

From a user perspective it may make sense to expose “related discussions” that you can browse to. Keeping the discussions separate yet linked could be a workable compromise.

Calling it now. Join @fediverse@lemmy.world to discuss the fediverse. Join the smaller @fediverse@piefed.social to discuss the fediverse and rag on tankies.

/s?

About batched votes? Yeah I did, just haven’t responded yet 👍

Mastodon doesn’t know to send replies to the community for distribution to the rest of the threadiverse.

Long story short if you’re not on the same instance as the community, Mastodon replies to you won’t make it to the rest of the threadiverse.

I experimented with a hack to see if I could fix this. NodeBB works around this by including a hidden mention to the community that Mastodon will then pre-fill in the text box, and then the reply will make it in successfully. If you have a Mastodon account try to reply to this comment, the community will be pre-filled as a mention.

Piefed, Lemmy, and Mbin will need to do this.

Does it work? Yes

Are we supposed do it? Technically no, it’s easier to blame Mastodon for not doing it right.

Should we do it? Probably, yes.

@rimu@piefed.social @nutomic@lemmy.ml @bentigorlich@gehirneimer.de @melroy@mastodon.melroy.org I tested this. It works perfectly fine. We can implement this today and remove it when Mastodon supports threadiverse conversations better (I’ll try to make that happen.)

Theoretically yes.

Practically, only sometimes. Mastodon doesn’t know to send the reply to the community (or even just a user from that community), so when replies are made that don’t include the community, then they don’t get make it through to the threadiverse.

Mastodon users (if they’re following the community) will get everything, but the UI for reading threadiverse content is abysmal 😝

Curious… Can you share more details about what they changed that fixes federation with Lemmy?

Maybe it’ll help Piefed and NodeBB too!

@thisismissem@hachyderm.io replied but it didn’t make it over to Lemmy.

> @poVoq @fediverse there’s also a proposal (from google) for IdP Initiated FedCM, instead of relying party initiated

@anthony@forum.unfinishedprojects.net did you just remove the privilege from “fediverse”? Leave it on for “registered-users”

Edit: oh I see what you mean. Let me take a look at this tomorrow.

A heartbeat activity! Or maybe a ping.

I like it! Maybe I’ll write an FEP for it, lol.
