I never used websites like Twitter and Facebook either. Sure I have looked into stuff like Mastodon, Friendica, Misskey, etc. But you’re never going to get me to actually use them, they’re not the kind of social media I’m interested in.

When it comes to the threadiverse, I actually use Mbin, not Lemmy. I did try both Lemmy and Piefed, but Mbin fits my tastes as an Old Reddit user best out of the three.

Don’t forget the Lemmy Federate step, otherwise that would be the obvious answer to that last step. Especially if you’re on a smaller instance.

Other instances won’t get your community and posts therein automatically, only instances with subscribers do. Lemmy Federate automatically uses a bot to subscribe to the community from various instances that have opted in to the service, allowing your community to reach those instances from the start.

Switzerland has Fedlex. For example here’s the constitution.

I didn’t. My country focuses more on apprenticeships than higher education, and I wasn’t the type to be really ambitious. So I never really explored my options and just went with the flow.

Not using Lemmy myself, but I assume this is about the name in the url vs the name in the UI. Displayname is probably how Lemmy itself displays the community, but name is what’s in the URL and in the fediverse handle.

Theoretically they did. Lemmy not complying isn’t their problem. Lemmy does fit the definition they use.

According to the legal text, under Part 4A, Division 1, 63C, the requirements for a service to count as an age-restricted social media service are:

• the sole purpose, or a significant purpose, of the service is to enable online social interaction between 2 or more end‑users
• the service allows end‑users to link to, or interact with, some or all of the other end‑users
• the service allows end‑users to post material on the service

Additionally, it’s specified that additional legislative rules can be defined by the minister. So there seems to be exceptions for certain types of services added here:

• services that have the sole or primary purpose of enabling end‑users to communicate by means of messaging, email, voice calling or video calling
• services that have the sole or primary purpose of enabling end‑users to play online games with other end‑users
• services that have the sole or primary purpose of enabling end‑users to share information (such as reviews, technical support or advice) about products or services
• services that have the sole or primary purpose of enabling end‑users to engage in professional networking or professional development
• services that have the sole or primary purpose of supporting the education of end‑users
• services that have the sole or primary purpose of supporting the health of end‑users
• services that have a significant purpose of facilitating communication between educational institutions and students or students’ families
• services that have a significant purpose of facilitating communication between providers of health care and people using those providers’ services

I don’t see an exclusion for small platforms or requirement for the platform to be major. So Lemmy definitely is affected by this too. Australia just can’t enforce it outside their country, so they can only go after Lemmy admins operating out of Australia. And they probably won’t unless someone reports the instance.

What if there were a way to do this with multiple fediverse services? What if you have an article, and the comments are 1 lemmy user, 1 mastodon user, 1 misskey user, 1 friendica user, ect ect ect? Basically start making ANY fediverse service a viable way to leave a comment, which can be replied to by any other fediverse user, regardless of service?

That’s just the base promise of ActivityPub, the basis of the fediverse. It’s not a hypothetical, but rather reality.

That scenario you mentioned, it’s not only Lemmy users that could reply there. All the ones you mentioned would have had access to that blog’s comment section and been able to leave replies.

So if you have user@lemmy.world, and you go to his community, you see a thread, you comment…your comment is now in the comments section of his blog.

That’s just literally the same as me looking at this Lemmy thread from Mbin, leaving a comment, and it appearing on Lemmy.

I’m not on Lemmy, but I have the “Active” sort set as my default.

Not sure if you’re already aware, but that relative link there is broken in Lemmy, Mbin, and Piefed.

If you used it manually, I’d suggest not using relative links in posts targeted at users from software that hasn’t implemented them yet.

If it’s some automated feature, I don’t think it should be in the source property of the federated JSON in the first place.

More likely thinking of Switzerland, since we’re neighbors and speak the same language (kind of). So it’s easier to conflate us.

Once upon a long time ago, some old man gave a monkey an apple and then love happened and they leveled up into humans. May have been 100 or 200 or more years ago I don’t do historian.

Why even use WORDS for it? That’s too long.

Let’s use ternary numbers, one for each of North-South and East-West. A 1 is center, 2 is north/east, and 0 is south/west.

So North is now 21. South east is 02.

Much easier to say like that, and it covers all 8 directions too and the center (11) too.

There are others, yeah. But they’re not threadiverse. They’re quite different types of social media from Lemmy. Since OP is using Lemmy, that’s why I’m recommending Mbin, not one of those.

most users find the most popular platforms and don’t have a reason to move on

This is definitely a good point. Is even visible here, with not just Mbin but also Piefed still barely having users compared to Lemmy.

federation and instances is a confusing prospect

Which is why we shouldn’t frontload people with that stuff. They don’t need to understand decentralization from the start, let them familiarize themselves with the fediverse first before throwing that at them. Just recommend a default instance, maybe change which every few posts if centralization is a concern. They’ll pick up the idea of instances as they interact with the fediverse.

Like I said, if you want more integration than what Lemmy offers, do consider switching to Mbin instead. It targets both, the threadiverse and the microblogging side of the fediverse.

“Now, the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, which is both beautifully and aptly named after a president who ended eight wars in less than a year, will stand as a powerful reminder of what strong leadership can accomplish for global stability,” she said.

? What 8 wars does he think the ended? Are there even 8 he got involved in at all?

All that’s needed is the reminder (as visible as possible) that content you are looking at is incomplete and you can find the more complete version on this or that URL or app.

That’s what Mbin does, it displays a banner on federated user profiles explaining that they may be incomplete, with a link to the same profile on the originating instance.

NOSTR is not any more a protocol of the fediverse than ATProto and Matrix’s protocol are.

This is the first time I’ve seen anyone consider it as being part of the fediverse. Are there even any federated platforms that federate with it? If we can’t talk to it, how is it federated with us?
