Oh hellsite
-
Maybe if they did something about their porn bot problem I'd be happier to see this
-
It really would be so much easier to just boost Mastodon posts into a Lemmy community.
-
Hopefully whenever mastodon gets quote posts we'll see something similar pop up over here.
-
You don't need to wait on Mastodon to do it.
Obviously, I'm not talking about you specifically -- Threadiverse devs generally.
For example, some of this functionality already exists on Friendica.
-
-
that's crazy talk, next you'll be telling us we should be able to actually block people from seeing and interacting with our posts
-
Say, are you saying that it's possible to take an existing Mastodon post, and post it into Lemmy? If so can you pliz point me to someplace that says how to do that? So far I've only seen this guide: https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1467-8270-7e3d-48d984455929 and it only says how to crosspost a new Mastodon post, not an existing Mastodon post.
-
-
I'll believe it when I see it
-
I'm sure I've read this headline before and nothing came of it then.
-
Why did you link to a Mastodon post and not the actual article?
-
The article seems well-written, except that:
the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.
Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we're like "and others" lel... I guess they didn't mention Pixelfed either tho and it's a lot "hotter"...
-
That article is intended for casual readers. These people might be more familiar with Flipboard than Lemmy or Pixelfed.
The same way that people are familiar with Blackberry or Nokia despite none of them even reach mainstream market anymore.

Can anyone eli5?
Will it federate with AP platforms?
-
It will federate with other AP platforms.
-
-
God I hope my instance defederates with them.
-
What's wrong?
Tumblr on fediverse by default will increase variation of community in fediverse. Especially, fediverse right now is still mainly filled with American or European related topics.
-
Why? Tumblr is terrible, but in a good way.
-
Because Automattic owns Tumblr and is run by a douchebag transphobe that is also destroying WordPress. (Though, to be fair WordPress is fucking trash)
-
Tumblr is terrible
Stay terrible fam.
-
-
Instead of hoping your instance does something, just make your own instance. That's the whole idea.
-
-
All of you who were making a fuss over Threads had better act the same way about this - after all, it's Verizon.
-
No, Verizon does not own Tumblr. Verizon sold Tumblr to Automattic, the owner of WordPress.com, in August 2019
-
Good ‘ol Cunnigham’s Law
-
Verizon sold Tumblr to WordPress in 2019
-
-
tumblr is life
-
Neocities is Tumblr if it were worth anyone's time.
-
No support for user post though...
That means nothing to federate.
-
-
Is it still the same SJW hellhole it was a decade ago?
-
Lol, people are still using SJW as a snarl world in 2025?
-
No, the word is DEI now.
-
I mean, come on people, it's current year, not past year.
-
-
As with the fediverse, there are a lot of user curated blacklists to get rid of the problem children.
Just don't trust shinigamieyes, that shit got taken over by terfs a few years back and now lists a lot of innocent trans bloggers.
-
Wait, what? That's disappointing. I use Shinigamieyes, haven't noticed anything weird yet.
-
-
-
Please no
-
Heaven forbid an open protocol see adoption.
