I can't receive DMs in my discord-fediverse bridge yet 😁 I'll stay tuned for updates in this Blender community ✌️

I developed a PeerTube-browser project. Or it would be more correct to say that it is an ongoing process. It is basically a tool for browsing PeerTube videos from all over the PeerTube network, and it displays the content in a familiar YouTube-like user interface with a bunch of features like searching, filtering by categories, tags, languages, and even a kind of a personal recommendation system.

I consider myself a content creator and while I was discovering PeerTube for the first time, I encountered a fundamental discovery problem with it, and with the help of AI, I am trying to solve this problem with this PeerTube-browser project.

I really like the idea of the Fediverse, and I really like creating stuff, including content and, recently, a software. So I'm kind of a person who is aware of those two sides of the river. I would really like to collaborate with someone, even more if it brings in some income. Anyway, I'm working on this project just for the sake of my personal interest.

The web app is temporarily down, because I'm on the stage of fixing major issues. You can check out the source: https://github.com/denikryt/PeerTube-browser

I have also developed a Discord Fediverse bridge application. In short, it is software that makes it possible to follow Lemmy communities and display their posts and comments in Discord forum channels. And it also works both ways. So you can create posts and comments in the remote community, as well as create a community that can be followed from other instances in the Fediverse. I'm writing from this bridge : ) Source: https://github.com/...

Interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing your project! I'll note the features you've mentioned, the LSP should be a really handy one : )
The declaring of inline functions i.e. creating nodes in the root node group is something I feel is lacking in my project right now. Would you make a post about the addon somewhere?

My goal was to think about nodes as functions and operations that could be described with simple Pythonic syntax. Every node is a function with positional arguments as socket inputs and a return value as a socket output. The mathematical operation nodes could be described as simple operators like + - // etc. The links between nodes are described as simple variable assignments and passing variables into functions and so on.

Basically, the idea it to think about Geometry Nodes setup as a script and reduce the Blender API Geometry Nodes boilerplate, while keeping it possible to address a specific node when needed.

I also put a bunch of work into the Extension API, which makes it possible to extend the functionality of the DSL with additional third-party libraries with its own defined methods and logic and use them in a familiar way.

I'd be happy if you tried it out! 🌽

I have made a specific language for generating Geometry Nodes and even a bit more than that. Try it out ✌️

I've built a DSL for generating geometry nodes setups from a high-level Python-like script. It is still undergoing major architectural improvements, but you can already try it out. Let me know what you think. ✌️

Matrix could be a good option: it supports encryption, self-hosting, though do not support topics in a way that Discord does, in terms of UX. There is also a Discord-like platform called Stoat. It does not support forum-type channels but the UI and UX is very similar to Discord and it is also a self-hosted platform. However, I am not aware of security part of it, it is easy to check. Self-hosting is always a quite a challenge to maintain, no matter what platform you choose. Matrix, on the other hand, is designed around security very hard, so I definitely would trust my data and security more to this platform.

Check out this one: https://github.com/fedify-dev/drfed I haven't tested it yet, but looks promising. Devs are the same who made Fedify framework for building activitypub apps.

The same works with other genuine federated platforms,doesn’t it? The amount of content in the fediverse would inevitably gradually increase over time as people become more aware of it

Well, technically, it is possible to flood fedi instances with a huge amount of noisy content but it is always up to an instance admins whether to keep such data and continue federating with such instances. So as long as the bridge instance is not producing tons of unrelated content, it is ok for everyone, I believe. In the end, situations could be different.

Also, motivating people to use this bridge is not a very easy task, by the way 🙂

I haven’t considered any of it, because I just wanted to build it to use it on my own 🙂 If someone in the world also finds it useful, then implementing some optimizations would not be a huge deal I believe. At least for personal use it is a working tool already

Exactly! Replies are also supported 🙂

Just take some time to listen to

Yeah that could be a safety mechanism for that kind of discord users who split a single thought into single messages. The user experience across platforms is different, for sure. Discord is more conducive to this type of communication.

I don't see any reliable workarounds for this, except for just knowing where you write and how it works. Methods, like you suggested, would be pretty hard to implement and they are more like a workaround from people who don't know how messages are displayed in Lemmy for example. Or simply don't want to write long texts.

I'm totally ok with writing longreads, I like it 🙂

But I think it would make sense to add some sort of information about the Fediverse to the bridge registration page for example. So an uninformed user could learn first before actually starting to write. Thank you

There is also a way to turn on a slow mode on discord channel side specifically to prevent very frequent message sending

Simply wait a bit between sending messages. There would be enough time to edit the first message and add a follow up instead of sending a new one 🙂

a company of what people exactly?

what do you mean?

Yeah, I mean, people share information and explain things to each other. LLMs make those interactions much more accessible and in many cases effective as well. So what is the point of interaction with humans online, for example? Is it the validation that comes from organic human minds?

I can't imagine what to say on this topic. It isn't something I care about maybe
