@strypey @todayilearned for extra points, maybe publish them to a Lemmy community? :)

@Hyolobrika @strypey

The idea is not to have "one community for everyone" but a simple onboarding guide for those wishing to leave Reddit. Let them come to the places that they are "used to" at first, and once we got rid of Reddit we can start optimizing the new system.

@Hyolobrika @strypey how did that work out for aether?

@Hyolobrika @strypey it was a rhetorical question: the answer is "they failed".

If we know that they failed, what makes you think that emulating their p2p approach is a good idea?

Fully p2p and "trustless" systems makes zero sense when designing social systems. It is costly to operate and you *still* need to have some form of collaborative filtering / moderation.

Step 3 of my evil plan regarding #fediverser and the #redditmigration has been executed. Anyone with a reddit account can go to https://portal.alien.top to claim their account at the alien.top #lemmy instance, and when they do so it gives you a list of your current reddit subscriptions and recommends the corresponding lemmy community.

Now, on to build and extend the lemmy communities so that we have more recommendations to make.

@evan Would it be possible to have the payment request and payment receipt as part "in band"? Would it even make sense to do it?

In a not-so-distant past I was working on a project with cryptocurrency to remove onboarding UX problems and make payments easier between people. The project didn't go anywhere because no cares about crypto as actual currency, but it did teach me enough about payment networks that I thought about expanding to support for SEPA (in the EU), Pix (Brazil) and FedNow.

@evan i skipped your poll because I wasn't sure of what you meant, but after reading your blog post I am "Big Fedi" all the way, with the exception that I don't want to see any single entity controlling the majority of accounts.

@youronlyone For managed hosting? If they have a docker image and can store media on S3, yes.

@pixelfed

FYI: https://communick.com already pledges 20% of the profits to the open source projects that we host. So you could go a long way just by partnering.

@jacob @evan when Threads federates, you will be able to choose between one of them. ;)

@Moon @Jain of course, but like I said in the beginning, I believe that one of the best ways to speed up the process of "improving server support" would be to ditch the clients and their application-specific APIs.

@Jain and before you say "kbin does that", my point is exactly that I shouldn't need different accounts to interact with different services.

@Jain I am aware of Tusky - using it right now.

Can I use my Mastodon account to browse a Lemmy community, see the list of posts, open a post, vote up/down the comments?

AFAIK, I can't. There is no unified client that can let me do that from the same account. If I want to access something through the Lemmy interface, I need a Lemmy client, which can only interact with Lemmy servers. Same with "Mastodon-compatible" servers and clients.

@Jain replace "mastodon" with "microblogging" and "lemmy" with "discussion forum". Does it help?

@Jain of course. But is there any client out there that can let me have a lemmy-like experience while connected from my mastodon account, or vice-versa?

@timbray @codinghorror

Not just that, to improve the ActivityPub ecosystem as a whole we need to separate servers and clients.

It might have been a good idea when Mastodon just needed to be an alternative to Twitter, but now we can aim higher.

We shouldn't need one account for twitter-style feeds, another for reddit-style forums, another for flickr-style photo sharing and another github-style code work. We can have one single account for everything, and just change the clients.

@feld The requirement is for companies that have a substantial market share. So, WhatsApp and Apple Facetime will have to find a way to interoperate. Likely, RCS.

@feld It's a pity that jwz retracted his "how is this going to get a 20-year old laid?" piece, because to the absolute majority of people this is the only real decision factor when choosing anything related to technology.

How much of Apple's marketshare is determined by the "Don't that men that use Android because that means they are too poor to buy an iPhone" meme?

@silverpill That's really cool. Is there any system that has implemented this FEP already?

Evidence number 37 that ActivityPub needs to find a way to decouple actor identities from DNS:
