A post to traverse the Fediverse & beyond :fedi:

Hello from feddit.org, the largest german-speaking lemmy instance

@cron
What happened to feddit.de?

The main admin and owner disappeared and the server was running poorly. As it became more and more clear that the situation will likely not improve, we created a new instance, run by the fediverse.foundation and asked everyone to subscribe to the new communities. Three weeks ago, the domain feddit.de went offline.

Does the :word: format have any special meaning in Mastodon?

I develop a frontend for Lemmy and have added support for #Hashtags and such, but I'm not familiar with :this: style. Just curious if that has some special function that would be worth supporting in Lemmy.

Does BlueSky now have ActivityPub support?

I was wondering the same thing. How does it belong to the fediverse?

Even at the third attempt, it's almost only #Mastodon, from where I see shares. But that again just underscores the dominance of Mastodon. (To be clear, there are others, but I don't see them here)

I think, that's it for me with trying to get a post get a substancial amount of interactions from the rest of the #Fediverse. But that still were some fun little experiments showing the diversity of the software connected in the Fediverse.
Thanks everyone for participating!

Lemmy overtakes Mastodon!

(at least, when I treat Upvotes as Faves and count them directly in #Lemmy, as opposed to via the API from #Mastodon) Quite a lot of ifs, I know. But at least I found an aspect of the interactions with this post, that is not totally dominated by #Mastodon. 😅

It makes sense that Mastodon will dominate in terms of shares, as the platform is built around that.

I'm posting from PieFed, where boosting is not an option, but your post is perfectly integrated. :)

Still not showing anything from Lemmy right? I guess upvotes don't convert to boosts? I tried favouriting the post, does that make it show?

Do you have a link to more info on how this works? Also hello :)

@otter
What exaclty?

Info on how you are sharing to the wider Fediverse and beyond, out of curiosity :)

I'm familiar with sharing from Mastodon to Lemmy, but I don't know much about how to target platforms outside of that.

How this specific post go through all the Fediverse?

@fediverse
Favs from #lemmy and #mbin aren't shown here on #Mastodon, right? And I think, it's not customary to boost or share in this RedditAlternatives. That's seems to be, why I still not see much from the activity happening over there. 😕

I don't think there is an equivalent of Boosting or Sharing on here. Those functions don't really match the format of these platforms, since content is promoted in feeds/communities with the upvotes (favourites) and posts are placed in communities rather than user profiles
