Your IP gets exposed to others since it has a p2p feature to share the bandwidth of the video with others.

That's similar to want #Mbin does.

It's a great opportunity for #pixelfed to add #group support, so those sharing their videos can share it directly to a community/magazine reaching to a wider audience. Same for #loops. Obviously, not at the moment, where everyone is trying to keep things up and running. @dansup@mastodon.social

I hate the fact that those posts are not an Article in the #activitypub object. I wouldn't be surprised if most of them do that because of Mastodon utterly inability to render other #activitypub objects other than a Note.

Which part does not make any sense for you?

[–] TheFederatedPipe@fedia.io 2 points 2 weeks ago

It seems like it, hahaha. What I wanted to convey was a fork of https://github.com/bluesky-social/social-app built to work with Mastodon API.

Wanted to add, I recently tried #pixelix for #pixelfed, and I might actually like this app better that the official.

The beauty of the #openinternet, #freesoftware, #socialweb and #activitypub

I don't agree, this actually a good opportunity for #pixelfed to support #groups so people who want their post to reach a larger audience can choose a magazine/community to post.

I will check it out, but for what I heard is to post in multiple sites with the same app, right?

  1. People are more familiar with the UI

  2. They are microblogging services, so yeah, I don't see any feature that cannot be translated to the UI.

  3. I find it easy, but for other's that's not the case.

  4. The level of engagement can be hard to get on a decentralized service in a network that suffers from fragmentation. Besides, the way the developers of Mastodon (and other services) built their software was by in fact not federating things like likes to other instances, making it so that the level of interaction yoi see form a remote server is not actually the correct one.

I think you misunderstood what I'm referring to. The bluesky app is open source and it has the same UI as twitter, basically. I'm talking about forking the project to make it compatible with Mastodon.

 

This might sound wild or controversial, but has anyone thought about using the bluesky app and adapt it to work with the mastodon API? By this way making it easier for more people?

[–] TheFederatedPipe@fedia.io 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, that would be dope. An average user probably won't use it, though. But having the option is great, and for user who don't opt in for self-hosting probably an option to export their algorithm data would be cool, for things like changing instances.

 

Wouldn't that be better? Let me see if I can explain what I mean. Here on the fediverse each server is kind of restricted to what the user can post.

@Mastodon@mastodon.social is for notes

@pixelfed@pixelfed.social for photos (wouldn't be surprised if it used a note too)

Lemmy only for article objects.

Peertube for videos.

You get the idea.

This way of developing the #fediverse where each server only receive one kind of the objects accepted by #ActivityPub makes it more fragmented it, right? A server should send and receive all kinds of objects and should be up to the client to how to processes those objects.

If an user wants an Instagram-like app just create an account on any service and use and app with that UI, of lager they wanted to see more kinds of objects they should just use another client that supports Note, Article, etc. with the same account on the same server.

Ideally all server should have a shared API.

This fixes #fragmentation, the need to have multiple accounts if you are into multiple kinds of objects/content.

 

A couple of months ago I saw a comic by @MrLovenstein@mastodon.social but I can't find it.

It was about for what I can recall the parents of the character were congratulating him for an achievement, and the character says something along the lines: "They now won't know that I'm actually a failure" or "That I don't know what I'm actually doing".

By the way, I couldn't find a better community to ask this.

 

I'm trying to learn more about the protocol, and after years of being around in the fediverse there's obviously areas where the protocol could improve. I was reading some of the fep documents and there are really good proposals. How long for these to be part of the protocol? Last update was 2018.
