Someone should tell Reddit that there is Lemmy (and mastodon, of course)

Question: do I update my #Fediverse stock photo with this screenshot (it has the shortcut to #Friendica too)?

Disclaimer: Friendica & #Lemmy do not have official apps, so these are iOS shortcuts to URLs (of instances).

A reminder that this stock photo is for articles about the Fediverse, so it’s the most vanilla, KISS (Keep It Simple) version imaginable for people not familiar with the Fediverse. My *real* Fediverse folder has Ivory, Mona, Phanpy, Surf and Voyager.

Let me know your thoughts!

How PieFed federates “flair” on posts and comments

On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.

However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in FEP 1b12 which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:

For flair on posts, the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:

{
"type": "Group",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta",
"name": "piefed_meta",
/* ... */
"lemmy:tagsForPosts": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",
"text_color": "#000000",
"background_color": "#dedede"
}
]
}

lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects.

So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:

{
"id": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Page",
/* ... */
"tag": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"
},
{
"href": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"name": "asdf",
"type": "Hashtag"
}
]
}

In this example the post also has a #asdf hashtag on it.

User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.

{
"id": "https://piefed.social/comment/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Note",
/* ... */
"flair": "PieFed dev"
}

This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.

It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too.

Let’s see how it goes.

Opted to take a little time and make a second video this week, since I had a companion video in mind anyway and the first got a big response.

This is an overview of the Fediverse and various corporate social media alternatives, and my thoughts on each.

各位关注及其跟踪 @board Fedi 用户们好！

众所周知，Lemmy 是 Fediverse 中 Reddit 的替代品、和大家分享一个看起来是 Bug 但不是 Bug 的小过程经历

俺当时在 Lemmy 上看到一篇帖子，俺想着回复、但是无论任何发送的帖子在 Lemmy 中始终不显示、但在 Mastodon 中是可以显示这篇回复的帖子的

俺在思考是因为目前使用的 Mastodon 实案是否与这个 Lemmy 实例是否之间被屏蔽，还是不支持连接？？？

在思考了很久，俺发现了问题所在、原来实因为俺敲打回车键的原因！！！

俺习惯在 Mastodon 使用回车键敲打一篇帖子，俺从来没有想到会造成这样的问题

如果这是 Bug ，俺觉得 Lemmy 开发者或志愿者修复一下、后续俺将跟踪实态回复到这篇帖子下

因此，在回复 Lemmy 帖子时、请保持原始格式敲打发布

RE: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/116368379234020589

here it goes:

what surprises me about the #fediverse is the diversity of ages. am turning 60 and there’s A LOT of folks here 10-20 years older.

so if #Mastodon #Lemmy #Pixelfed aren't just scripty kids but also grandparents, who’s here?

people finding their communities without shitty techbro algorithms.

the fediverse is a new era of #Luddites. we are not here to serve the interests of capitalists. we’re here for the #anarchy of community; because celebrating our Humanity is punk as fuck.

Now you can add events to your calendar in #FediHood. The map has also been redesigned to display them all, and end dates have been added.

You can also subscribe to #Lemmy communities. You will get their posts in a dedicated timeline, with the ability to reply, vote and create threads.

You can already submit communities that target an area, they will be available to people near them.

The #Fediverse/#OpenWeb keeps growing, so how far can a post go now? Let's try it out!

If you see it please share and/or like! I'll post stats.

@board #Lemmy 哪个lemmy第三方客户端更好一点，Jerboa太慢了。

#FediHood now supports #Lemmy through #ActivityPub. You can subscribe/unsubscribe from groups, read threaded discussions with their upvote scores, and reply or upvote yourself (through the fav button).

This is the first step: FediHood will also automatically split messages into city, region and country groups that everyone on the fediverse using groups will be able to interact with.
