Cursed hack to fix Mastodon-Threadiverse communication
If I post something to a remote community, Mastodon people reply directly to me, and it doesn't make it to the remote community. 👎
If I snuck in a mention to the community (but not in text), Mastodon would prefill the community mention and it would propagate correctly. 👍
Tell me this is a bad idea.......
🐭 Real question:
Sometimes I read negative comments about #Lemmy or even calls to defederate...
Why do some people on the #Fediverse feel so strongly about Lemmy?
Isn't an #opensource alternative to #Reddit a good thing?
@madeindex The other replies on this thread have covered a lot of the topic and I'll also mention #threadiverse projects like PieFed and KBin/Mbin as alternatives. (I'm not close enough to any of this to have much of an opinion, however).
FEP-f15d: Context Relocation and Removal
Threaded applications often have the need to move and remove content between groups/communities for curation purposes (i.e. resolving miscategorization, spam, etc.)
This is an extension of the [Resolvable Contexts][//w3id.org/fep/7888] tree of FEPs.
The FEP draft has been submitted for review. In the meantime, it can be viewed here: https://github.com/julianlam/feps/blob/fep-f15d/fep/f15d/fep-f15d.md

Cross-posting is coming to NodeBB!
tl;dr — cross-posting is coming to NodeBB in v4.9.0. It will be internal-only for now, as we work through social issues with federated cross-posting. Existing category sync and auto-categorization logic in NodeBB now utilises cross-posts instead of moving or ignoring categorized topics, respectively.
Some history
For the past couple months, I've been mulling over the idea of cross-posting, and how this would work in a federated forum context.

Deleting a post vs deleting an entire comment tree
For context:
- Two big threadiverse implementors (and probably mbin) currently federate
Announce(Delete(Object))for deletion of content — all synchronized communities follow suit and delete the content as well. - If that object is the root-level node, and it is deleted, everything below it is also deleted.
- Lemmy and Piefed are investigating the possibility of changing this behaviour so that the action deletes the object itself only, and the reply tree stays.

Yo yo! My FIRST episode of the Intuitive+ exclusive #podcast “Future Insider” is in the can and going out first thing tomorrow. 🥳
In it I talk all about my latest thinking on the #threadiverse and why #piefed has gotten *oh so good* in v1.3 and beyond. I love using PieFed daily and truly believe it is the unsung hero of the #fediverse right now.
So join Intuitive+ for $5/month to support my podcasting & publishing and get access to Future Insider when it drops!
