@anthony@forum.unfinishedprojects.net did you just remove the privilege from "fediverse"? Leave it on for "registered-users" Edit: oh I see what you mean. Let me take a look at this tomorrow.

'twas a good conference 😁

I put together a brief explainer here 🙂 https://community.nodebb.org/topic/19218/federation-what-is-it-and-how-does-it-work

To add a remote community to your forum index, you'll want to go to ACP > Manage > Categories Under the "Add Category" dropdown, you can select the option to add a remote category. [image: cd6c786d-c376-4b76-a1da-d301074cb142-image.jpeg] Then you can treat them like any other category (re-order, rename, etc.) The page you're on now, the category synchronization, allows a category to follow another category, and automatically cross-post its posts to that category. It also kind of does what you want, but it'll be more straightforward to add the remote community directly.

Can't Piefed, et al. do everything a.gup.pe/FediGroups could do, and more?

Hmmmm, I suppose, but Facebook never had a Dislike, they added emoji reactions, technically, no?

I think there's definitely an underserved space for academics on the fediverse. Feed-based mechanics are not good for archival or slower (read: not always online) readers, so NodeBB actually works really well to collect that stuff and present it in less of a firehose-y format. For example, here's a NodeBB forum that follows the #medicine tag: https://postcall.pub Here on ActivityPub.Space the discussion is all ActivityPub focused and it is really really good at keeping up to date with the latest topics. I'd be happy to work with you to start a general science (or more topic-focused) board if you're interested...

Good on you Rimu. If NodeBB implements Activity Intents it'll be because of you.

so, this is a bit of an abstract mathematical post. I think that a fediverse service consists mostly of three parts: identity provider, data hoster, and feed provider. The data hoster is the machine that hosts the posts and comments and upvote/downvote stats. The feed provider is the service which gives you a nice, scrollable overview over new content for you. This is today the same system that provides the data, but it could be separated, such as having a custom "search engine" that gives you content, that you use independently of where the data is stored. The identity provider basically only makes a proof that "you are you" : you give it your login credentials and it gives you a kind of token that authenticates (proves your identity) to other services. like, i'm on discuss.tchncs.de, but i can post to lemmy.world. this is because the discuss.tchncs.de server says to lemmy.world that i indeed have this account on this server. so they prove my identity in a way. What i argue now is that such an identity providing server is not technically necessary. You could use something like an ~/.ssh/id_rsa file that you generate on your own computer and use that public key to identify yourself on the fediverse. I don't think that this approach has any inherent advantages over how things are being done today, but it could be done that way and that in itself is fascinating. :D

It looks like some issues may arise if/when an instance's domain name changes. Is there any way we can change federation so that we don't need to rely on such a central point of failure?

@hendrik@palaver.p3x.de fwiw NodeBB ended up being such a joy to author things in that we switched away from WordPress to NodeBB as our blog. We just blog on our forum. Now, conflicts of interest are important... I wrote NodeBB, so I am obviously pretty biased :laughing: !

There have been a couple of posts somewhat recently asking what can be done to attract new users to the Fediverse. My answer was basically "make it something new people would want to see and stick around for". The crux of that was basically less news, less politics, less rage and more, well, anything else. So, I would like to propose a challenge to all: Let's try that. At least for a week. Sound good? Here's how you can participate: If you're one who posts a lot of news/politics...stop or at least slow down. Post literally anything else. Or try to post less rage-inducing news and try to dig up the good news that's happening. Sorry !upliftingnews@lemmy.world but it's the regular news communities that are flooding the zone with every single bad thing that happens anywhere in the world, so we may be stealing some of your content with this one. Think before posting something. Are you only posting it because you're mad about it and you think other people should be mad about it too? If so, maybe post something else. Is there already similar coverage of that? Chances are, we don't need more of it. If you're a lurker, post something. Add your voice. Refrain from upvoting / booting all the negativity. Yes, it may feel good to upvote for visibility because "people need to know this" but the end result is the feed turning into a list of things to rage about. If you see good/non-rage news, upvote that for visibility. I've seen many posts like that languish with a few tens of upvotes at most while the rage-inducing news gets hundreds of upvotes. Post what makes you happy rather than what you're angry about. Avoid dogpiling on people if they express a different opinion. I'm not saying feed the trolls or pat them on the head, just merely "disengage" or avoid the impulse to virtue dump on them and such. If you have a hobby, share it! There's plenty of hobby communities that would greatly benefit from additional contributors. If you're boring like me, well, there's !Dullsters@dullsters.net or !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world (the latter welcomes all as the name is just a reference to the original) Anything else you can think of to make the homepage/experience feel more welcoming and less like an angry mob (suggestions in the comments are more than welcome). I know not everyone will participate, and that's okay. Simply adding more positivity and posting/boosting less rage can have a positive effect on what shows up on /all which is what potential new users see by default. So, let's try this for a week and see what happens. Who knows? Maybe the established userbase will find it refreshing as well. Who's with me?

I'll give some insight from NodeBB. Adding in delays (x days until first post, y hours until upvote, etc.) do nothing to curb spam. If your spam is manual, they will discover the waiting period, update their rulebook, and go to town when the waiting period is over. If the spam is automated, it will work until the spammer admin discovers the waiting period, updates the script, and has the bots resume going to town when the waiting period is over. At the same time it severly hampers usability at its most crucial (the first post). The only thing that works to curb spam is a post queue with manual review... or locking the ability to post links behind reputation.

Except it's completely gated behind Discord corporate servers, unsearchable outside of Discord, and all ownership lies with... you guessed it, Discord. But oooh aah Nitro....

Oh I see. Yes, AP first apps would be great, but getting older apps connected via AP is important too. NodeBB predates ActivityPub (or came around the same time), and so we added it recently. It works quite well with our existing code. Not much of a compatibility layer.

Nope, it's just a.single route, no filters or qualifiers I am aware of. One could go through the returned accounts and see which are users and which are groups, although that's expensive and time consuming to do.

lemmy.ml is different from voyager.lemmy.ml. The latter is just a testing instance.

Introduction As far as I know, the software used by Fediverse, a decentralized social networking site, makes information public due to its decentralized nature, and as a result, it's often possible to obtain feeds of the latest information via RSS. However, the extent to which this is possible varies depending on the software's capabilities and features, and I was interested in the functionality of each piece of software, so I decided to write this article to research and summarize the state of RSS on Fediverse, including its URL structure. This article is based on a pioneering article titled "Finding Fediverse Feeds" that appeared on the website Hyperborea: Kelson Vibber.
