@DarkTides @db0 i mean, i'm commenting on this thread from mastodon so...

@AlmightySnoo fediverse is supposed to scale with more servers, not bigger servers

@silverbax what are the odds on that being the same or similar for every other centralised social network? they only care about that magic MAU value and will tamper with it as much as possible to sell ads.

"ad fraud" is just something EVERYONE seems to be doing, and the big players just do it bigger.

@Sigmatank @RomanRoy that's already happening: https://mozilla.social

@DarkTides yeah! they both work with activitypub!

I don't follow any groups/magazines/whatever directly from mastodon (because they'd clog my feed).

However, you can copy the post or comment links, paste them into the search bar in mastodon, and then boost/favourite/reply :)

It's a little bit awkward, but you get used to it.

Favourite in mastodon turns into an upvote on the lemmy/kbin side. Boost doesn't really do much on lemmy/kbin (yet) but does increase reach on the mastodon side as it always does.

And replies, naturally, show up as you'd expect :)

@DarkTides that's one of the great things about using an open protocol

sure the UX is basically non-existent, but it works!

hopefully a better client will happen eventually to make it easier for people to understand.

@LeberechtReinhold I can understand why it was done in the first place, but MS just blindly signing anything they are given is stupid, they should at least disallow binaries packed by themida or vmprotect.

vmprotect on a driver is an indicator of compromise, especially if the cert/opus info references a chinese entity.

@Hatchet i mean, this one is technically already different

i can comment from mastodon

you couldn't do that with the other "alternatives"

activitypub is great

@wmrch fritter got a commit that fixed it recently, not sure when a new version will "officially" release but you can download the github actions apk for that commit and keep using fritter : https://github.com/... :)

@econpol @corytheboyd i wonder what makes anybody think nobody will donate, quite a few fedi servers manage to survive off of donations

i think a couple of fedi servers are semi-private with paid accounts on a subscription basis, too

@Zeth0s Not sure about lemmy, but I know you can from kbin (it has a "microblog" section for that)

@corytheboyd By "more servers" I mean "more instances".

@B3_CHAD @UkaszGra https://co.wukko.me/

@wason not sure about lemmy. i know kbin has support with its microblog functionality and how any post coming in from a remote server that isn't to a group goes to a "random" magazine

@anirbanbiswas I know you can on kbin (and all remote posts that aren't in a magazine go into a "random" magazine)

I'm not sure if you can on lemmy. Reading the documentation, you should be able to paste their URL into the search box, but it's not working for me on your server (although I'm not logged in there so that may be the reason why).

@corytheboyd Other fedi projects changed their public terminology to use "servers" instead of "instances", which is why I said "more servers".

@Evono other than the PWA, I don't know

@ulu_mulu I noticed; however interestingly my server didn't get sent the comment (probably because I don't follow the group, or maybe because I'm too impatient)...

I guess for lemmy something like this would be an edge case though?

@crossmr thanks for this post, this server has been involved in spam for almost two months so I alerted the microblog side of fedi

I noticed dnc@vive.im was followed by two kbin.social users, and kbin has an "interesting" feature where a microblog post goes into the magazine named after its first hashtag (if it exists), hence why your subs are getting them

i think the two kbin.social users might have followed this user by mistake. i checked their profiles and they both look legitimate to me.

@abff08f4813c so "ex-FAANG" managers coming in for their CIA sabotage manual any% runs isn't just happening at discord?

makes sense to me
