That’s a valid concern.

It may be hard and take time, but it sounds like it would be worth at least starting the process and slowly take steps to move. If they’ve done this, what’s the likelihood that they’ll do something even worse later?

If it helps, here’s a (partial) list of ActivityPub software - I’m not sure why it doesn’t include things like Friendica or Owncast: https://github.com/BasixKOR/awesome-activitypub

But regarding your question, the first example that comes to mind is PeerTube. Not only does it look to me like it was designed from the start with federation in mind (I don’t know this for a fact though), but it also seems pretty innovative with its use of peer-to-peer video streaming. This 2 minute animated video does a good job of explaining what it does: https://framatube.org/w/217eefeb-883d-45be-b7fc-a788ad8507d3

Owncast seems somewhat similar.

It seems that most Fediverse/ActivityPub software is a “twist” on something that existed previously, but there is still a lot of innovation going on, instead of pure copies of existing centralized platforms.

I was curious about this too, particularly if and how well the Meta Quest 3 mirroring/tethering or whatever they call it works.

I get .world, but what’s wrong with .ee? I thought that one was supposed to be cool?

Yeah, that’s how I do it too. Although some instances don’t seem to block it, you would have to find out which, and that may be difficult to find.

I totally understand why they would do it. I don’t understand why or how they block the NSFW instances without them appearing in the list of blocked instances.

lemmynsfw appears to be blocked secretly on lemm.ee. It’s not listed under blocked instances there, but I can’t see any posts from lemmynsfw there either. There must be some other mechanism that’s available besides blocking instances in the open.

Weird. Then either our instances are secretly blocking it, not through defederation, or there’s some other mysterious technical reason for it.

But also think that the rule of Lemmy is that all algorithms end at porn.

Huh? I don’t see any porn, regardless of what sort I choose. Ah, that’s because there’s a checkbox in your settings to let you choose whether to see NSFW posts or not. I guess turning that off works really well.

You have really good insights about this, and it’s a great question. I wish it weren’t buried 5 levels deep in this thread, where few people may see it. Maybe you could write it up as a top level post on the Fediverse community?

I agree that the Facebook format is fine. The real problem with them is the algorithms. Oh, and all the data harvesting, advertising, and now bots pretending to be real people? I guess everything else about Facebook is terrible except the format!

Unfortunately, I don’t know. I read that mobile apps for it are few and far between? There may only be one or no app for Friendica on each platform. I think I also read that there are a couple of apps in beta at the moment?

I heard that it was one of the earliest Fediverse projects. It just hadn’t surged in popularity like Mastodon and Lemmy had after the Twitter and Reddit exodus.

Ah, thank you! That’s what I was actually thinking of, but then I thought I was mistaken.

I see. It sounds like it’s deeply ingrained then. I think you’ve more than done your job and it’s all you can do.

I don’t know anything about loops but I use mastodon fairly regularly. Mastodon only has like two basic algorithms: your main feed shows the individual posts of everyone you follow or which contain hashtags you follow. Then there’s another page that will also show you the top posts of the day - I believe that goes by the posts which received the most “boosts” although I’ve seen some people say that it may take into account the number of “favorites” the post receives. It’s a fairly different concept from Lemmy.

I’m hoping that the Fediverse thrives, even at a smaller scale. I’m so done with major corporate social media. Speaking of which, tomorrow is being called a day to switch from the corporate ones to the independent ones, like Reddit -> Lemmy, Twitter -> Mastodon, Instagram -> Pixelfed, etc.

That’s a possibility too, but we’ll never know for sure until the front page subscribed algorithms are improved.

English pronunciation is completely all over the place, so much so that you frequently cannot predict how a word is supposed to be pronounced. I usually don’t pay too much attention to pronunciation errors because of that.
