   The #Mastodon software setting of #Spoutible is now a dropdown menu. Currently only for mastodon.social and mastodon.online.

   Maybe it's temporary but if it's not, they'll have to add at least a hundred reputable and popular servers. Also, it's Mastodon software only. There are far more software, older and/or better than Mastodon which will probably not get support, at least as far as the approach I am seeing.

   Since they are only adding cross-posting support, it should be fine to add support for other #Fediverse software like #Streams #Hubzilla #Friendica #Firefish and #Socialhome, to mention a few.

   Still, what I want to see is for Spoutible to federate with the #ActivityPub network as well as #ATproto network (a.k.a. #BlueSky).

     @luca Haha, true.

     I think the idea is, you get people to sign-up at Spoutible since it can crosspost to the Fediverse (at least through social and online) and Bluesky.

     But if course, at the same time, it's what you've said.

     Only catch, if we reply through the Fediverse or Bluesky, they won't see it in Spoutible.

     I agree, they should just federate. If they are willing to do this work, they might as well work on #ActivityPub and #ATproto federations. (Maybe add #Diaspora too.)

     Hopefully, it is in their long-term goals. If they do that for both, they'll be another proof that federation is the future for #SNS. (And they'll generate a lot Buzz too, so win-win-win.)

     @youronlyone i really don't get the Spoutible point of letting their users crosspost to mastodon, instead of using activitypub. I guess that this clunky implementation however, will force their users to make an account on .social or .online.

     Up to them, if they find this feature useful, we will see their posts anyway ...
