🐭 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.
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

Announce(Delete(Object)) for deletion of content — all synchronized communities follow suit and delete the content as well.Deleting a post vs deleting an entire comment tree

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!

All right folks, the Human Web Collective is now running #PieFed v1.3 and it is GLORIOUS! 🎉
* With Lemmy API compatibility, you can now use @voyagerapp to log in and use the site. For those who don't know, this is an Apollo-for-Reddit inspired client which absolutely rocks!
* The federation of Link posts is much improved, looks great in Mastodon.
* Everything feels zippy, even running on my modest VM.
PieFed & the #Threadiverse is ready for Prime Time. Come join us! 🤘😎

Threadiverse... on ATProto?!
Check this out: https://nooki.me/
Looks like someone's built a Reddit-like on top of ATProto. Would be really interesting to see whether it could interact with the threadiverse through something like BridgyFed, which currently only works with microblogs (I think?)
Opportunity? Existential threat? You decide...
Have you heard of the #Threadiverse, and important part of the #Fediverse?
If not: Julian Lam (@julian) is coming to FediForum next week and will talk about:
Threadiverse improvements.
Join us! https://fediforum.org
@matrix Is there a place the Matrix community can discuss protocol-level issues that isn't GritHub? If not, it really is about time to set one up. Lemmy and PieFed are options for an official threadiverse instance, and both Discourse and NodeBB now have some level of ActivityPub support.
This could even be an opportunity to dogfood adding Matrix protocol support to a forum package.
Our fediverse conversations are gonna have the context they have been missing!
This past June, I put together a write-up about two major approaches to backfilling conversations. The ability to properly backfill conversations means we will be able to make major inroads toward solving the feeling that the fediverse is quiet.
I, alongside several other members of the SWICG Forums and Threaded Discussions Task Force (ForumWG) have been working toward building implementor support for Conversational Contexts — the ability to explicitly classify a set of objects as belonging to a conversation, whether that be a topic, reply tree, or similar.
I am happy to report that we have made some wonderful inroads this past few months!
- jesseplusplus@mastodon.social has been working closely with the Mastodon team to allow software to backfill from Mastodon — this pull request has now been approved!
- I have been working with both nutomic@lemmy.ml and rimu@piefed.social to allow software to backfill from Lemmy and Piefed, respectively. (Lemmy PR, Piefed issue)
This marks a major milestone in the adoption of conversational contexts. With Mastodon on board backfill will be possible with the majority of the microblogiverse. With Lemmy and Piefed on board, backfill will be possible with the majority of the threadiverse.
Remember that pfefferle@mastodon.social was an early adopter of conversational contexts, and we have been able to backfill from WordPress blogs for quite awhile now (so that's the blogiverse too)
I for one, am eagerly awaiting the next version of all of these softwares!!
