    I just learned that #Libranet.de is the longest running #ActivityPub server on the 'verse.

    I think I have identified a fairly significant flaw in how the #Fediverse currently operates.

    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

    @julian I was surprised when taking a look at it that the demo instance has been there for 2 years, is barely used by anyone, most are abandoned accounts and half of the functions on it don't work...All while it's getting positive press. I think you nailed it about the hype around promise.

    Wir probieren was Neues aus: Seit heute ist unser Blog auch ans Fediverse angeschlossen – dem #ActivityPub Plugin für #WordPress und @pfefferle sei Dank!

    @HausAmWestbahnhof My blog has been federated for years, and not only do I still have a Mastodon account, which is what I use primarily, but I also continue to use my Friendica account, which I use to write structured and formatted texts that I don't publish on the blog, long replies to accounts I follow, and also to automatically reshare my blog posts.A federated blog used in conjunction with a Mastodon account is like a camper used in conjunction with a scooter: with the former, you can take your home around the world; with the latter, you use it to get around town or to a village festival. And a Friendica account has the same advantage. Except that instead of being a scooter, it's like a dirt bike (amphibious. With a small tent on top 🤣): a little less agile than a scooter, but very versatile.@pfefferle
