    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

    #FediHelp #FediHive I need an efficient way to keep #wrenches in my #workshop (a problem common to every #machinist I think).Combination wrenches (those with the ring, top left in the pic) are easy to hang, but double open-end wrenches?Until now I keep them between two corks screwed to a board, but this requires a lot of space.Suggestions?

    Hello FediVerse! We could use some help identifying the artist of my MIL’s favorite painting. Unfortunately we were unable to record any information before she passed. The appraiser drew a blank.What we know: purchased at an art dealer in Chicago or a suburb around 1965 for around $500. The back of the canvas states “Paris. Place de tertre 1958.” Not much, but it’s what we got.Appreciate any boosts for coverage, thank you so much!Edit sig added24”h X 36”w#FediArt #Art #Artist #FediHelp
