@Zak I took another picture of another flashlight. This is a test of federation from Mastodon.

Text worked. Image didn't.

Hey Zak, where can I read up on the federaton between platforms? I might actually get on Mastodon (I was never a Twitter user) if all these platforms are connected. Also, is there consensus yet on wether we're coming here or kbin?

This post seems to be a good intro to Lemmy and federation.

Lemmy, kbin, Mastodon, Pixelfed, and a number of other things speak a protocol called ActivityPub that allows them to interoperate, but the more different the user experience is, the less polished that interoperation may be. For example, a Mastodon reply including an image doesn't show the image on Lemmy.

I don't think there's consensus yet about which to choose. I suggest spending some time with both and seeing what comes out of it. Lemmy seems to be the more mature software, but there are some questions about its developers. The recent increase in servers with experienced admins not associated with the developers is promising.

For me, it's critical to have a mobile app. If I have to access kbin via the web on my phone, then I won't use it very much. I'll poke around, and see what I can find.

Yes! Can we please move here during the blackout?

I think that's a good plan.

I also made one on kbin.social. Normally, anyone using one can participate on the other, but I think kbin is currently dealing with a DDoS and its countermeasures are making problems.

I'm making a page on my own site to link from the subreddit's blackout notice.

I took several pictures of a flashlight. This is just to test uploading multiple images to one comment because a BST thread would benefit from that.
