@BeAware Yes but if they do that it works well. Anyway it's a significant first step to be readable? & if people wish to interact, they can do so in one place rather than in the fragmented conversations that would result from cross-posting? #bridgy seems capable of reuniting the lost worlds of #ScienceTwitter. @RichardJMurphy
@RichardJMurphy While I delight in the Fediverse & its advantages, I am keeping an eye on Prof Trish Greenhalgh & others now posting mainly on Bluesky, and saw some people wishing they could read you there. Maybe worth bridging so that they can read what you post here? To do this, follow @bsky.brid.gy https://fed.brid.gy/ 🔗 #Fediverse#Bluesky#interoperable#Bridgy
@clmorgan Maybe #IndieWeb & #POSSE & the new abilities to consolidate comments may bring discussion together again?
I have been pondering the fragmentation of comments here on Mastodon (different readers see different parts of a discussion), & more importantly their impermanence (we can go to "original page" to see all, but replies may be purged). Having a copy of record on a site under personal control might be good. Fellow-historians, any thoughts or models?
@kellogh I just rediscovered RSS & apart from feeds which are by design or for me read-only, I'm finding it invaluable to (a) keep track of my must-read people (& click through if I wish to read or join a Fediverse conversation), (b) to index my own posts on Mastodon so that I can relocate them without endless scrolling! (My instance does not yet have search options - & the RSS reader is fast.) @twilliability #RSS#Elasticsearch#OpenWeb
@feditips Maybe! Thanks for investigating. Let's ask the FediScience administrator @FrankSonntag - Frank, is this possible? (I saw the missing posts on original page about 12 hours ago, so the glitch if any might have been in the time window approx 00:00-07:00 UTC today 5 Oct.) @helenczerski
One #shipwreck recently excavated in #Sweden was built from timber felled in 1346; a second about ten years later. The analysis by @dendro_dk shows that both were trading far from where the wood was grown and the ships were probably built. Both were cogs, the all-purpose trading vessels of Northern Europe - like these replicas under sail. https://arkeologerna.com/two-unique-medieval-shipwrecks-discovered-in-sweden/
Interested in the life, times & legacy of Elizabeth de Burgh, #LadyOfClare - the remarkable #14thCentury patron of #ClareCollege at #CambridgeUniversity in England. Searchable.
