  • @kathsone @esserci @filippodb @amministratore @anze3db @fedidevs wow this is going to be a troll discussion, please note there're plenty of starter pack from the same istance because the faq clearly says:

    "It can be used to help new users find accounts to follow, or to promote specific communities or topics."

    those idiots are clearly trolling, starter pack are made to privately promote a specific communities or whatever you want.

    just another italian example: https://fedidevs.com/s/NzYy/

  • @esserci Sorry, but I'm not interested in controversy. I just want to help solve what I think is a problem. But I don't want to start a controversy in public because, in any case, the problem doesn't directly concern me.

  • @kathsone that instance was created pretending to be the "Mastodon Italiana" instance, as if it were the official Italian server. It was a clever move because it attracted a huge number of users, but now they might as well stop using these tricks!

    Unfortunately, it seems to me that administrators are tempted to confine their users in a cage where they try to keep following the same people from the same instance and the same promotional accounts.

  • You're absolutely correct! (Great, now I sound like ChatGPT)

    That said I think that's where implementations like NodeBB and Mbin can apply a bit of pressure and act as intermediaries... we want federation to work well too, and we have to straddle both federation styles!

    That gives a somewhat unique perspective on problems and solutions.

  • I honestly feel if the two paradigms did a little bit of effort on interoperation, we could figure this out. But all sides of this atm are like "the other side is doing it wrong" and refusing to look at this.

  • Can you please correct the naming of your Fedidevs.com starter packs?

    @filippodb @amministratore dear Mastodon.uno administrators,
    I've noticed that some starter packs you've uploaded to the site have incorrect descriptions: they almost seem designed to promote ONLY USERS of your instance, while ignoring all other instances in the . In fact, they were all created by service accounts on the mastodon.uno instance.

    This seems understandable, but I think it's urgent to rename the descriptions of those starter packs to specify that they are exclusively for users of your instance, otherwise they could mislead other users.

    The starter packs in question are as follows:

    Satira vignette e meme (created by the @satira account, a mastodon.uno service account)Retrogames (created by the @kickoffworld account, a mastodon.uno service account)Profili Free Open Source su Mastodon on Mastodon (created by the @opensource account, a mastodon.uno service account)Ambiente Mobilità sostenibile e giustizia climatica (created by the @ambiente account, a mastodon.uno service account)Fedilug Account Linux Italiani Account Italian Linux Accounts (created by the @linux account, a mastodon.uno service account)Sicurezza digitale (created by the @sicurezza account, a Mastodon.uno service account)Fediverso e Social network (created by the @socialnetwork account, a Mastodon.uno service account)

    I repeat: it's right to advertise to your users, but it's important to explain that it's self-promotional advertising. For example, the Mastodon UNO & Official Devol Accounts starter pack clearly specifies that it refers to the users of your instance.

    This is out of respect for all Italian users of the Fediverse and for the developers who created and made the fantastic Fedidevs resource available for free.

    Thank you for your attention and have a good evening

  • Okay, that's fair. The hard requirement for a microblog user to have to follow the community is often too high a barrier (if only because it's not immediately apparent that this needs be done)

    That said, Mastodon gets around patchy federation with mention spamming. Threadiverse gets around this with the distributor model (the community itself).

    I don't know how to reconcile this from a technical perspective... yet.

    Also @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com this is in response to you as well.

  • I feel like there's some kind of a ripple going through the Fediverse. Here's my answer from a week ago

    A blog requires a platform designed for blogging. Staying within the realm of federated software, the three natural alternatives are: WordPress, which, thanks to the plugin that makes it compatible with Activitypub, has achieved a level of perfect integration with the Fediverse. Ghost, which, federated a few months ago, is not only a blogging platform but is also specifically designed for creating mailing lists based on the Substack model. Writefreely, which, despite being natively federated, is extremely focused on distraction-free writing and therefore has some seriously limiting features. Friendica As for Friendica, I'm a huge fan of that software and manage the second-most active instance in the entire Fediverse. I can assure you that I know it well and appreciate all its most important features. But don't be fooled by the fact that some call it macro-blogging software. In fact, if you visit a Friendica account's profile, it's not possible to filter the Timeline of their posts from the Timeline of the posts they've reshared. So, you could virtually create a page like this: https://poliverso.org/profile/saio But you could only do that if you don't share too much other content, otherwise the result would be like this: https://poliverso.org/profile/notizie which would be much more confusing 😅 However, Friendica is a very powerful software that allows you to republish your blog feed, as well as automatically reshare your federated blogs. Here I've listed some very interesting Friendica features for blogging: https://poliverso.org/display/0477a01e-1366-ebfd-2002-91a370393480 So, to recap, if you want to use Friendica to create your blog, you can: you can create a new account. Remember to define it as a "page account," if possible, but also remember that when you reshare content you like, it will appear on your profile page. However, if you don't need the full suite of tools that characterize a social media platform, you're better off using WordPress. Sharkey We're talking about software with a very nice interface, but it's still a social networking software. Being essentially a fork of Misskey, it also has a section for creating static pages that can be easily viewed from outside the Fediverse, but these pages can't be federated with Activitypub 😭. Ultimately, it seems even less suitable for creating a blog. If you absolutely must use a Fediverse social media platform, then you'd be better off going with Friendica! Hubzilla PS: There's also a software called Hubzilla, which is compatible with Activitypub, although it has developed its own communication protocol. I'm only mentioning it because it's a feature-rich and well-designed product, but its interface is quite complex and unfriendly, so although I've chosen to mention it, I can't recommend it as an alternative.
