It should be possible to connect ghost 6 to the fediverse, so that anyone with mastodon, lemmy etc should be able to comment, like etc

https://ghost.org/6/

For my understanding, what is the difference between a quote post and a post that contains a link to another post?

What are your interests?

In the meantime you could follow a couple of communities is where people share interesting videos:

• !peertube@lemmy.world

• !peertube@lemmy.wtf

(thanks @asudox@lemmy.asudox.dev for the correction)

Unrequested suggestion:

Lemuroid emulator + apotris is the best (FOSS) tetris replacement on Android

Very cool!

I’m wondering how long until Bluesky locks down its users

Good to see. Reading ifixit post I found it awesome how they read feedback from their readers and are able to change their minds

What are your interests?

Anyway you could try following this community: https://lemmy.world/c/peertube

Woah, I think you catchet the biggest problem I have with it immediatly. I’m thinjking of opening an issue maybe?

We both know that is not how this should work. If everybody joins the same instance

But this doesn’t happen. Mastodon.social is far from 90%, and the former CEO made the choice of letting control go to an entity that is no-profit, I think it’s the right choice.

• The casual user joins mastodon.social (default highlighted choice). He can enjoy the Fediverse and discover its complexity with experience, not by understanding everything in advance.
  • He can the move to another instance if he feels so, after undetstanding what this actually means
• The more advanced user probably already knows the instance thing, and maybe doesn’t even use the offical app

I’m not sure, but i guess that it is replicating Twitter behaviour. I got used to that quickly.

But if you want a better experience you can easily find other front ends. I strongly suggest Phanpy that makes it really clear when a toot is part of a conversation/thread. It also does a lot of nice things like grouping boosts in horizontal carousels, collapsing long threads to avoid occpying the too many screens, and others, but it is still simple

I think your steps from 2 to 8 are summed up in

Create an account. Just like Twitter (or any other social media).

Meaning that those are not any different than what you need to do in Twitter or facebook. Actually the consents you need and the app permissions are much simpler in Mastodon case

By the way I think the communication can be much simpler:

How do I use Mastodon?

• Download the Mastodon app from the Apple app store or Play store.

• Create an account (just like Twitter or any other social media)

• Follow people, and get posting.

Why do tech journalists say it’s too confusing to catch on?

I have no fucking idea.

We Italians eat too much pasta to be able to top the pizza rankings!

A group of Italian women who attended the event abandoned their short effort to join the platform half-way into the presentation, confused about where to go and which app to use.

Ouch!

Futhermore, comments aren’t grouped in the post. They are separated from their parent element. And you need to crawl back the comment to find its original post.

if you use a client like Phanpy things become much better from that point of view. Strongly suggested

I think that the lightest you can get is SNAC: written in portable C, it requires only an ngix server, and no database.

It’s ideal for single used instances or automated projects

Here some background and how tos: https://encrypted.tesio.it/2024/12/18/how-to-run-your-own-social-network.html

And here the description of fedimeteo, that provides forecasts for thousands of cities on the fediverse using a slim low cost vps’ https://it-notes.dragas.net/2025/02/26/fedimeteo-how-a-tiny-freebsd-vps-became-a-global-weather-service-for-thousands/

Thank you, great to hear all my points are being addressed! The thing about post rendering, well, I just hope a common solution is found 😊

thank you! I will keep an eye on those

Nah… Missing IMHO:

• Strava like
• IMDB like
• stackoverflow like
• google maps review like

Hi, I think that Lemmy is great thank you for your hard work

I actually think that given the ads and other distorsions, and thanks to federation, Lemmy is overall actually better than reddit!

Some features I miss are:

• tags
• direct messages outside Lemmy (even if not encrypted)
• better rendering of posts on mastodon (something beyond the title only). Not sure what side is responsible for this, tho!

Keep up the good work guys!
