you can’t even consider it a true federated network like activitypub

Does this work work for anything other than mastodon?

wanted to bring matters up anyway in case it still would be considered useful.

Honestly, I think the issue is still relevant because many users coming to fedi, don’t get exposed to this kind of discussion. I wasn’t. I was bored with mastodon so looked around and found firefish. But my instance was shutting down. So I decided to just use the source of all the *key software, misskey and went to sign up for misskey.io but couldn’t. I had to search a lot to finally figure out the situation. Later, I joined a smaller instance, instead of the flagship instance. My server admin is amazing. They run an instance that also follows US specific laws as well despite being primarily Japanese server because there are a few english users.

What I learned all of these is that, mastodon is not fedi, there are a lot of software, look around before you settle down. And instances with small number of users form a better community. So, you don’t have to choose the largest instance out there.

• I am not using misskey because I like loli stuff. I should’ve worded it better. I love my instance because our admin runs a great server.

I am especially sad because firefish was the first fedi project that I donated to. A lot of people had problems with firefish, but the server I was on was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, they server maintainers foresaw the demise of the software and decided to shut down early this year, on March.

I think that was specifically for misskey.io because some western users were breaking some sort of law. I never quite figured out the details. Misskey.io still doesn’t let any IP from outside the China-Japan-Korea circle sign up. But there are some instances, that do, and some English language instances there as well.

Also, misskey and the Japanese side of fedi, tend to tolerate “loli” content to a degree that other side doesn’t. My main account is on a misskey server and I love it.

Have you checked out Tangerine UI
https://github.com/nileane/TangerineUI-for-Mastodon

It’s showing me the same thing

Wow, seriously? nHentai of all things?

That happens in India too. Although, I don’t know if it is as uninionized.

sub.club is not aimed at servers but monetization of content from individual users. Opposing this doesn’t mean someone oppose supporting their home instance monetarily.

That’s exactly what I thought when I first saw this. The difference in that they market it as a fediverse extension.

If piefed decides to create an api later, I would prefer they did their own thing and try to be lemmy compatible. Looking at misskey, I think not forcing api to be compatible with the more popular service has many upsides.

I think servo got a bit more recognition during the Kling/ladybird “drama”

I don’t think they ever apologized.

Piefed doesn’t have an api, so no 3rd party client. You can use the PWA.

With my limited knowledge in the subject, after reading their paper, what I understand is, although they say it like it was a great success, their experiment, in its current state, will fail at scale. But, it is a progress compared to previous methods. Also, photons do not play nice.

Actually, wine used to maintain a fork.

Are these relays similar to fediverse instances?

I was just thinking if a self hostable tracking solution was possible. Right now, I use MALSync on Firefox. Used to use Tachiyomi, but stopped after they discontinued and tracking on Browder with an extension just feels faster. BTW, just in case, there’s an app called Miru (and a fork Migu) that has built-in auto tracking with anilist.

Apart from space junk, satellites have massive carbon footprint.
