@peterg75@mastodon.social oooh I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying Phanpy. It truly is the best ✨ I use Tusky on Android and Mona Pro on iOS with Friendica and really really love the UX

@juancnuno@mastodon.social thank you for the brilliant suggestion Juan! Woooow!!! Definitely “brave enough” to try Beeper, LOL. And it was purchased by Automattic, which is a really good sign IMHO. I can’t thank you enough! Will try it ASAP

@impottibile@misskey.social awwwww mi iscrivo subitooooooo 🥳🥳🥳 grazieeeeeeeeeee

@wtrmt@mastodon.social the whole point of Matrix is to be a free, open source, federated way of communicating, so you can use it on desktop (Mac, Windows, Linux), mobile and even from a browser: https://element.io/download

@Blort@social.tchncs.de thank you! I've blocked time in my calendar to watch the keynote address from the conference (they're livestreaming on YouTube) this Friday morning. It's about Matrix 2.0: https://cfp.matrix.org/matrixconf2024/talk/WUGXFW/

@juancnuno@mastodon.social ok so from what I'm seeing, Matrix has incredible integrations (bridges) with Slack, Discord, Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal, etc... so you may be able to communicate with your friends using these bridges https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/ (disclaimer: it's my day 2 on Matrix and I'm not sure yet how to make a bridge work)

@falcennial@mastodon.social yes, this is why I love the Fediverse so much!

@falcennial@mastodon.social thank youuuu! 🥹 I just wish other parents and grandparents would be more aware of the dangers / toxicity of digital platforms by Big Tech. Most people I talk to are resigned and say "there's nothing we can do, they're the standard, everybody uses them." I find that to be a weak argument and I'm ready to give all my support to healthy alternatives

@fjaril@mastodon.social thank you! 🙏

@buzzdee@mstdn.social Thanks! I found this super helpful explanation on Reddit (of all places):

"Matrix is a federated protocol like ActivityPub. A server running ActivityPub can theoretically be bridged to Matrix and vice versa (though I'm not aware of a fully functional and reliable bridge as of right now). So it's part of the Fediverse in terms of philosophy and potentially in terms of interoperability, but most people don't bridge between them at this time"

@falcennial@mastodon.social thank you for the kind words!

I'm doing this to get more friends on here. 99.9% of my real life close friends and family members only use social apps by Big Tech.

And I have a vested interest in having the Fediverse succeed because in a decade's time my little one will be a teenager. It would be upsetting to see her use toxic platforms by Big Tech. Her worth shouldn't be associated to the number of followers she has or likes she gets. I'd want her to use healthier social media...

@jerry thank you again Jerry!

Communication between Friendica and Mbin (mentions) doesn’t work at all. And I’m finding some strange bugs when it comes to federation of Mbin comments that mention Lemmy.world accounts (some show up, others don’t).

But the communication between Mbin and Mastodon is EXCELLENT ✨🏆✨

Thank you for all your work on Fedia.io!

@kenkenken I totally agree with you, the term "Threadiverse" makes me cringe because of the Meta connection... but it's what people have been calling content aggregation projects on the Fediverse. I didn't come up with it 🤷‍♀️

Really liking #Mbin so far and happy about its interoperability

@elena@fedia.io @elena@lemmy.world 👷🏻‍♀️ OP here, testing out if Mastodon replies federate 👷🏻‍♀️
