    oh ok so *here's* a neat feature of #Mastodon lists that I had hitherto been unaware of:You can set them to include replies from list members to:- No one- Members of the List- Any followed userThis is REALLY COOL. The 🤯 option for me personally is to be able to include only replies that members of the list sent to other members of the list. Great for "Local" lists, or lists for a busy topic bubble!You can also change this setting later!#Fediverse #mastodonMeta #fediHelp

    I think I have identified a fairly significant flaw in how the #Fediverse currently operates. Hear me out.The Fediverse currently consists of all sorts of different systems - #Mastodon, #Friendica , #Pixelfed , #PeerTube, #BookWyrm , and so forth. And while they are all connected via the #ActivityPub protocol, they all have different functionalities and different ways of presenting themselves. Which is as it should be, because Diversity Is Our Strength(TM).However, it is here that the ActivityPub-based interactivity hits its limits - for usually, you can either experience the relevant system as it was intended, or you can interact with it, but not both - _unless_ you have an account on the same system (though not necessarily on the same instance).Let's say that you are a Mastodon user who looks at another person's BookWyrm page. You scroll through their books, posts, and comments. Then you see some comment you want to comment on yourself, but can you do so?Not directly. You need to figure out the URL of their comment, and then copy and paste that comment into the search bar of your Mastodon instance. Then it will show up in the same format as a Mastodon post, and you can interact with it - boost it, like it, comment on it.Sure, it works, but it's a whole lot of tedious effort.Or you can search for the user account in Mastodon and scroll through all their posts and comments as if they were a Mastodon user - and thus, you will miss out on all the unique user interface features of BookWyrm.So what is missing?Well, Mastodon already has an "Open original page" feature when looking at someone's post. What we need is an "Open original page AND AUTHENTICATE" feature. This way, the target instance (whatever software they are using) could acknowledge the viewer as an external user who could nevertheless fully interact with the local user interface, including the ability to boost, like, and make comments.This is something that should be theoretically possible to implement, right? #FediHelp

    #fedihelp Recently the Mastodon web app started to do something silly.Suppose I have scrolled down into older posts of my timeline. Now, when I switch to some other browser tab and back, the app scrolls all the way back to the top of the page.This is extremely annoying. I checked the settings, but could not find anything related. Anyone know if it is a web app thing or stupid browser behavior?#mastodon #mastodonWebApp #scolling

    I have to ask: How actively maintained is #BookWyrm as a project these days?Apparently, my own instance (bookrastinating.com, which is the second largest one) - recently lost its SSL certificates, and the admin account seems to be inactive.And the archive/export function doesn't work, either, which makes me rather nervous.Also, the Patreon Page for BookWyrm as a whole hasn't been updated since 2022.#Fediverse #FediHelp
