    As a community, we often ask ourselves how to attract more users to #XMPP.

    @khm I've been doing this for a decade and you are incorrect.XMPP works over incredibly slow links to military submarines and even a vanilla Conversations works absolutely fine on high latency low bandwidth 2G connections.I've you look at the 10 most actively developed clients and servers you can see that their developers are mostly in agreement over what XEPs are currently considered best practices (Source: I know all 10 of them personally)

    Does choice of server affect the reach of your posts?

    Yes. If no one on, say, mastodon.social is following you then none of your posts will show up in the global timeline there or in searches or in hashtags. Also if you have few followers your posts will receive few boosts so hardly anyone will follow you. So we end up with a handful of wildly popular accounts dominating the conversations which mostly happen on the big instances. Centralised power. Bad. The threadiverse solves this. People don't follow other people, they join communities and it's their membership that determines where the federation traffic goes. So nearly every instance has all the conversation and everyone is on an equal footing.

    Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?

    mobileatom@flipboard.com You've touched on a very interesting point. By the way, I've never figured out whether your Flipboard account will ever be able to see my reply, and to be honest, I'd be very curious to know what a Flipboard user sees when they receive a reply from the free Fediverse... Returning to your observation, I see the Fediverse as an integrated ecosystem, but integration doesn't always have to be symmetrical. [image: 1764879043010-31741512-04f3-4c0f-99f0-8314a4498402-image.png] To put it simply, Bookwyrm users and Peertube users aren't interested in viewing content from other social networks! In the Fediverse, there are programs that focus on one of the three areas in the image above, and programs that occupy two or more reference areas. For example, I find the fact that Mobilizon users can't see Friendica events much more problematic than the shortcoming you noted on Pixelfed... Pixelfed certainly "looks" like a social network, but it's primarily a place where users share their "personal art galleries." While I'm not a fan of dansup@mastodon.social, I recognize that he's making great strides to increase the interoperability of his creation, and Pixelfed has grown better than any other software in the Fediverse on three key levels: improving interoperability creating a beautiful and ergonomic app brand identity I'm sure he'll find a way to make text content visible in the future, but honestly, right now, it doesn't seem like a priority for Pixelfed's development and success. That said, your observations are a very interesting starting point for the development of software and interfaces in the Fediverse.

    It seems Peertube is sending me Update activities every few hours on the hour (or rather, on the 7s or 37s), with no changes. Any idea what this is about? Perhaps view counters updating? Seems a tad noisy. [image: 1762633321437-1000008215.png]
