One of the hurdles for new fediverse users is historic discoverability of content. For example, if we view someone's profile from a remote instance, we only see the posts dating back to the first federation with our home instance. If you are on a large instance this might not be a big deal. It is for smaller instances like mine though.

#Mastodon #Fediverse #ActivityPub #Federation… (1/3)

My Mastodon client ( Mona) has the ability to fetch historic posts directly from the remote instance into the app. (Source to front end). Without leaving my client I am able to interact with older content from a profile, that predates the moment of federation. It circumvents the need for my instance to have fetched the content. This seems so efficient. The content is fetched directly from a place where it is already publicly available. My home instance does not need to bother with it. (2/3)

And I as a user I see what I would expect visiting a profile: The content the profile has published. Not only the content the profile has published at a point where someone caused federation from my instance.

Why not make this a standard (opt-in) feature of the official front ends, apps etc.?

@killyourfm One step closer to the end of the "Windows Gaming PC"?

@annika Narrator voice: ....and the tech support never heard from them again.

@annika I love how the initial post is nonexistent anymore and some people recently liked my comment.

@darnell Only it does not. Which is not Samsung's fault at all. The S9 Ultra is an incredible device. It's the Android software market that botches the experience. Professional software for iPadOS is already just a handful. Yet we have full-fledged graphic design software, drawing and sketching, audio and video editors. The recent stock of apps enabled actual "Pro" work on iPads. There is nothing remotely comparable on Android rendering the S9 Ultra a luxury browser.

@loops @pixelfed Is this like a separate app for "reels" ?

There is this gap between "Ah, fuck it, I am writing my blog in plain HTML" and "The limits of human nature dictate me that I need to use a CMS". And I hate all of it. The two extremes as well as the gap. Nothing is good!

Instagram just deleted a comment within 2 seconds in which I said:

"Algorithm serfdom destroys communication."

@dansup @pixelfed Do you consider establishig a nonprofit similar to Mastodon?

@feditips What I would love to see in addition is a manual translate mode where I can switch between languages and self-translate them. A follower could then read the post in the preferred language.

But I guess this is much more complicated.
