@helene @kaede @lanodan > Repeats, favs and replies do not federate to WriteFreely blog posts, but why should I not be able to do that?

I don’t think that those features should be removed. WriteFreely is something I haven’t heard of before, but it sounds like a blogging platform, which shouldn’t be expected to have the same feature set as a twitter replacement… I assume that WriteFreely posts show up on here but not vice versa, is that it? In that case I would think of Pleroma as something like a comment system for it, which is useful.

I agree that we should tell users about what the other instance might not expect, and we are looking into that.

I don’t think approach can work well. What do you have in mind, labeling every button with a “not supported by all servers” message? Based on what I’ve learned in this thread, that would have to apply to a lot of things in the Pleroma interface, and with anything less explicit, many users probably won’t see it and will just expect things to work. Though I suppose just having documentation somewhere would mitigate the problem.

Re: emoji reactions, i was against them earlier but on second thought idk, maybe I shouldn’t object to that feature and should instead want mastodon to implement it

activity pub is really bad huh

@7 It’s not though. Email has fewer interoperability issues than this, and Matrix - if you don’t consider non-Element clients - has none than I’ve ever run into in my >2 years of using Matrix. Sufec will have none.

@7 I don’t know how XMPP fares but I’d guess better than this. I would say IRC but that’s different (servers are not interoperable). I also don’t know of any such issues between Lemmy servers (but maybe not a fair comparison because there’s only one implementation)

@helene @kaede @lanodan > Why would they not? That’s what I love about the fediverse!

I just don’t see why you’d accept that there’s value in interoperation between the platforms in the first place, but deny that there’s value in making that interoperation work more consistently.

@helene @kaede @lanodan > posts on Misskey are rejected if the post they reply to cannot be fetched or does not exist.

I don’t know if you mean that Misskey users can’t reply to posts using features Misskey doesn’t support, or something else, but if true that’s the worst thing I’ve heard yet.

I do think of fediverse as a counterpart to twitter and think that it should be interoperable. That’s the point of federation. If Pleroma and Mastodon and Misskey don’t support the same features or have the same purpose, why would they federate?

@helene @kaede @lanodan Okay, so I maintain my stance: one of the reasons to oppose custom emojis is that they may not render as expected for other people, and you won’t know about it. I’ve learned that this also applies to markdown unfortunately :/

@lanodan @kaede @helene Wait, so custom emojis are a protocol-level feature? How does that mean they would render on a client that doesn’t support them
