Best you ask at !asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Yes, the ay they do it at KDE is the most seamless imteraction currently possible between lemmy and mastodon

You read the post past that sentence?

Edit: for those who don’t know, Sharkey, Iceshrimp, Catodon and Firefish are fediverse software that sometimes are referred to as “*key” because they are all forks of the Misskey software.

Hosted Wordpress with ActivityPub plugin

Point number 1 for sure.

Favoriting/liking is especially a good thing to do with photo posts, as pixelfed emphasizes likes over boosts and I think a lot of photographers and artists appreciate likes more than your average poster.

I didn’t know that favourites factor into the trending algorithm. Good to know.

That’s nearly 10 years ago uff

Which is why awesome people like @grant@toast.ooo do it instead

These services are mainly relevant for PC/browser users. Apps should be able to resolve the original links to open them natively (at least Boost does that). And with Lemmy 1.0 coming up this will be in the codebase of Lemmy itself.

There are now Fediverse Enhancement Proposals (FEP) that are being published by Fedi developers with the goal to improve interoperability and well-being of diverse services, applications and communities that form the Fediverse.

From the RFC that is linked above:

“Plugins will make Lemmy more flexible, and allow implementing features which are too niche for merging into Lemmy core. It will allow Lemmy to focus on core features, while allowing outside developers to contribute new features without using Rust.”

Everyone I ever talked to told me “well yes we have to implement our own version of ActivityPub because AP is under-defined”. In most cases it is defined what AP does, but not how. Therefore individual programers go in and figure out on their own how a certain thing they are building for their platform should be structured in AP.

Now, every project could simply go “I will copy the way Pixelfed implements it”. But why should PF have that priviledge?

That is still not the point the commenter and the original blog author were making.

What we can take away from this episode is that Pixelfed implemented the fix in a way that suggests they would not handle a 0 day exploit with a “reql” vulnerability well. And having followed dansup’s projects for a while that doesnt surprise me, because he clearly prefers to work “chaoticly” than in a structured, regulated way.

The “taking the heat” is something completely seprrate and boils down to stupid people on the internet needing to be angry at someone.

I belive vernissage.photos allows that (but not sure)

Imo it demonstrates that for certain threat models the fediverse simply doesn’t have the 100% secure answers.

Not only an African thing. Historically cultural leaders exist in lots of places around the world. For example in Europe certain places still hand bishops some local traditional roles. Germany still has titular princes and dukes that hold no political role. Etc.

Turkish government in early 2025: let’s start peace talks with PKK

Turkish government in March 2025: let’s arrest our main competition for bogus terrorism charges related to the PKK

It’s probably users not setting their posts’ language properly.

Spar is very widespread in Europe, however it is a network of differently owned companies and not one big companies like these others
