Jupiter Rowland@<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/@ajsadauskas" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AJ Sadauskas</a> <blockquote>I mean, the Fediverse already has Lemmy, KBin, and MBin. So there's already an ecosystem of pre-built communities out there.</blockquote> /kbin is dead. Has been since last year. The last instances that haven't moved to Mbin are withering away. However, in the "Lemmy clone" category, there's also PieFed, and Sublinks is still in development. Also, the Facebook alternative <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friendica</a> ("Facebook alternative" not as in "Facebook clone", but as in "better than Facebook") has had <a href="https://dir.friendica.social/group" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">groups</a> since its launch in, 2010, five and a half years before Mastodon. <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/Hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a> has had groups since 2012 when it still was a Friendica fork named Red. <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/(streams)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(streams)</a> (2021) and <a href="https://codeberg.org/fortified/forte" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Forte</a> (2024) have groups, too. All four are part of the same software family, created by the same developer. And interacting with their groups from Mastodon is somewhat smoother than interacting with a Lemmy community. On Friendica, a group is simply another user account, but with different settings: In "Mastodon speak", it automatically boosts any DM sent to it to all its followers. In reality, it's a little more complicated because, unlike Mastodon, Friendica has a concept of threaded conversations. (No, seriously, Mastodon doesn't have it. If you think Mastodon has it, use Friendica for a year or two as your only daily driver, and then think again.) Likewise, on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, it's another <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/Channels_(Hubzilla_%26_(streams))" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">channel</a> with similar settings.

Jupiter RowlandSeriously, Mastodon's conversation model (or lack thereof) is so inconvenient it's nerve-grating. On Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and others, you automatically receive all comments to any post that you've received. That is, unless filters or blocks stand in the way. Sometimes, even older comments are backfilled when a post with comments is imported. The whole Threadiverse immediately exposes you to whole threads because you don't receive individual posts or comments anyway. That wouldn't be how Reddit works, and the Threadiverse is modelled after Reddit. On Mastodon, you only receive posts a) that mention you or b) by people whom you follow. Even if they're replies to a post that you've already received. When I reply to a pure Friendica/Hubzilla/(streams) thread, I can be sure that everyone receives my comment. When I reply to a pure Mastodon thread, I basically have to explain everything to almost everyone separately. I have to explain it at least once in each branch of the thread. Alternatively, I have to mention everyone who has participated in the thread at once. And then another Mastodon user discovers the start post, but of course doesn't see the thread, and I have to reply to them individually because they didn't see my comment(s). For example, if there's another long thread full of Mastodon users acting as if the Fediverse is only Mastodon, I join in and try to explain to as many people as possible that, no, the Fediverse is not only Mastodon, and what you want "Mastodon and the Fediverse" to have is readily available on lots of non-Mastodon projects. And I have to do so six times over due to how branched the thread is just to catch everyone. Next morning, I come back to the thread and find another five people who have replied to the start post, and who act like the Fediverse is only Mastodon because they haven't seen a single one of my half-dozen replies. So I have to explain it another five times. Of course, not few of those whom I've replied to will block me for reply-guying me because I've answered to them although they haven't mentioned me, and I'm none of their followers, much less a mutual. So much about Mastodon allegedly being the biggest because it's objectively the best. Oh, and before you complain about how "they" had the audacity to do things differently from Mastodon: Both Friendica and Hubzilla are older than Mastodon, Hubzilla by ten months, Friendica by almost six years. Their conversation model was here first. #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Long" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Long</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=LongPost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LongPost</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWLong" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWLong</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWLongPost" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWLongPost</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FediMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FediMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=FediverseMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FediverseMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWFediMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWFediMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=CWFediverseMeta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">CWFediverseMeta</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mastodon</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Friendica" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friendica</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Streams" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Streams</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=%28streams%29" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(streams)</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Threadiverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Threadiverse</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Lemmy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lemmy</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=%2Fkbin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">/kbin</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Mbin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mbin</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=PieFed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PieFed</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Sublinks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sublinks</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Conversation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Conversation</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/search?tag=Conversations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Conversations</a>

Jupiter Rowland@<a href="https://mementomori.social/@owen" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Owen</a> <blockquote>what functions do Lemmy, Pixelfed, and others serve that Mastodon doesn't?</blockquote> For starters, Lemmy, the other Threadiverse projects and several other Fediverse server applications, e.g. Friendica and its descendants Hubzilla and (streams) have one technological advantage over Mastodon when it comes to discussions: They have a proper concept of conversations. They distinguish between a start post and a reply or comment, and they make use of the "context" attribute on the latter to reference the start post of a thread. This makes it possible to tie discussion threads like in a forum or on Reddit together. In addition, they always deliver all replies in a thread to all participants in the same thread. No mentions needed. This makes it possible for everyone to easily follow a discussion without having to rely on everyone mentioning everyone or keep looking up the start post at its source. Mastodon doesn't do either. Mastodon mimics 𝕏 with all its shortcomings, and 𝕏 doesn't have any comparable functionality, and such functionality wouldn't be microblogging, so Mastodon doesn't have it either. Just like everything is the same kind of tweet on 𝕏, everything is the same kind of toot on Mastodon, and it relies on mentions and an out-dated, deprecated OStatus tag that doesn't even exist in ActivityPub to tie directly related posts together. Thus, meaningful discussions between more than two participants are easily possible on Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed, Sublinks, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) etc., but on Mastodon and the other "Twitter clones", they require the users jumping through hoops, if they work at all. Also, discussion groups. Lemmy, /kbin, Mbin, PieFed, Sublinks, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) etc. have had them since their respective inception. Mastodon doesn't because 𝕏 doesn't, and groups aren't microblogging. The Mastodon devs are said to be working on implementing groups, but I expect that to become a dirty hack that's incompatible with the rest of the Fediverse. In the meantime, Mastodon users need external, third-party solutions like Guppe, now-defunct Chirp or Friendica. Mastodon users try to use Mastodon as the all-purpose Swiss army knife of the Fediverse. Mastodon itself tries to market itself as the perfect, fully-featured, one-size-fits-all jack-of-all-trades solution in the Fediverse that lets you do everything you want to do. At the same time, however, Mastodon tries to hold on to its idea of purist microblogging, and it has to struggle with the consequences of having done so all the time. The only way the Mastodon folks can hope to push their agenda through is by: <ul><li>presenting Mastodon as the Fediverse proper, especially to newbies</li><li>shielding Mastodon users from the existence of other Fediverse projects; at least some other projects show which project a post or comment came from</li><li>brainwashing Mastodon users into the opinion that the Fediverse is all about microblogging and shouldn't have more/better features than what vanilla Mastodon offers</li><li>making the rest of the Fediverse look bad to Mastodon users by intentionally making Mastodon incompatible with the rest of the Fediverse, thus giving the impression that it's everything else in the Fediverse that's "broken"</li></ul> <blockquote>I joined Lemmy and Pixelfed wanting to participate but the level of traffic seemed too low to generate the interaction I had hoped for. Did I look in the wrong places, or did I fail to notice the action, or did I look too early?</blockquote> Sadly, there are lots of Lemmy communities in which hardly anything happens. They've got hundreds of subscribers who, however, don't interact with the community. There's often only one user who occasionally posts stuff, but absolutely nobody ever replies to anything.

AtegonDid some work on the <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/sublinks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sublinks</a> component library to start getting components set up so they can be used in multiple projects and can be designed separately from the site itself Got basic buttons and chips in currently. Should probably be doing more work today (might be the thing I work on for my Monday stream)

Jupiter Rowland@<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@dHeinemann" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dave Heinemann 🇦🇺</a> A whole lot has happened in these nine months, including the appearance of three more projects in the Threadiverse that try to do things better than Lemmy and /kbin. /kbin was forked to Mbin.

This part of the Fediverse is a bit less well developed than the microblogging part but there has been a lot of activity in recent months and I have every reason to expect further development (both technically and in terms of things like moderation tools and standards).

AtegonGot some more work done on my game template yesterday on stream. Did some more progress on the achivement system and persisting data and should be finishing them up in tomorrows stream. Doing some more progress on <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/sublinks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sublinks</a> today to do as much as I can on the theme library + demo site to try to finish that up so it can be used in the sublinks frontend My weekly schedule for the next weeks should be - Monday: Game Development (stream) - Tuesday: Sublinks Libraries - Wednesday: Game Tools (stream) - Thursday: Sublinks Frontend - Friday: Gaming (stream) And then whatever needs to be done on the weekend (probably finishing up the update to my dome keeper mod this weekend so I can get that out)

AtegonStarting work on a theme customization library for <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/sublinks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sublinks</a>. Themes will be able to be defined in json files (with values for colors) and then be read in for usage. Ideally would also have a theme builder built into the UI at some point

AtegonMaking an updated <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> post for myself for the release of Bytes! Hi I'm Ategon, an Indie <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/gamedev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> from Canada The main things I'm currently working on is managing programming.dev, designing the frontend for <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/sublinks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sublinks</a> which is a federated forum and link aggregator, making games for game jams such as Ludum Dare, Brackeys, and GMTK, and working on a main game which is a roguelite platformer You can find all of my socials on <a href="https://me.programming.dev/@Ategon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">me.programming.dev/@Ategon</a> and ive got some gifs of some of my jam games attached

AtegonSome more progress on the home page visuals for sublinks. Added back in the options for post sort and scope and added new communities to the sidebar on the right going to be spending future days now cleaning it up and fixing various bugs that popped up <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/sublinks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sublinks</a> <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a>

AtegonWill be starting to share progress on the Sublinks UI that ive been working on Starting off with some progress I’ve been making on the Home Page. Been taking things I enjoy from both alternate frontends such as Photon and Tesseract, as well as Misskey forks like Iceshrimp and Sharkey. People who followed me as I was developing Pangora might recognize a lot of similar design decisions. Still in progress but ill try to share new progress at least every couple of days when I work on it with new additions The left sidebar can be collapsed to show only icons for people who want a bit more space for post cards. Hovering over an option adds a popover saying what it is. In addition when you scroll down the navbar shrinks a bit to give you more space for post cards. On mobile the navbar hides completely when you scroll down and then shows again when you scroll up The frontend is still heavily in progress so things may change a lot still before release as I refine it. If you’ve got suggestions feel free to give me them (this is basically a mirror of my programming.dev post but wanted to start posting them here as well) <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/sublinks" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sublinks</a> <a href="https://bytes.programming.dev/tags/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fediverse</a>
