shout out to the lemmy developers for not making us be stuck on the other site

shout out to mastodon devs for making us have a better life than on Twitter

shout out to the pixelfed devs for allowing a actual photography platform to exist

shout out to the peertube devs for helping us not be stuck on youtube until the end of time

ETA: Shout out to the server operators who make the stuff be done

…and then it gets enough upvotes to appear on “all” sorted by hot, and non-followers of the sub also see it.

Each group/sub on Lemmy/Piefed/etc. has an address, like subname@lemmy.website. On Mastodon, you just @ the sub’s handle, and you can follow the handle as if it were a user and have everything posted to the sub reshared to you.

Lemmy doesn’t let you follow individual user accounte, though, so you can’t follow Mastodon users. Just groups. But there are lots of things that are groups. PeerTube channels, for instace.

For a while, I was under the impression that all spiciness, or burning sensation in food flavoring, would come from capsaicin, the compound that causes it in chili peppers. Then I realized that Sichuan peppers are a quite different kind of heat. Wasabi (horseradish) is different yet again.

How many hot-flavored compounds are there? At least five!

You just mention the community’s handle like you would another user, and that creates the thread. Hence the @fediverse. Behind the scenes, the community then does the equivalent of a “boost” to push the thread to everyone who is following the community. If I recall correctly.

Hello! So how does this work? I am trying to figure out this federated things.

How did you connect?

@stux Don't forget the aether melons as they are the quintessence of elemelons. Some say phlogiston melons are a thing, but that's just silly.

Mastodon to Lemmy Federation Test.
@fediverse

Writing this from Mastodon as a Test. Hello!

This is my first time doing this, i didn't knew that you could do this with Lammy groups until a few hours ago.

Can someone tell me how Lemmy instances handles quotes from Mastodon and PeerTube links and stuff like that? Don't want to pollute the this group with test messages.

The best way to post from Mastodon to Lemmy is like this:

Test post from Mastodon to Lemmy <- 1st line: automatically turned into a title

@Fediverse <- 2nd line: mentioning the Lemmy community

Writing this from Mastodon as a Test. Hello! <- Everything below: the post body

Lemmy automatically turns the first line/paragraph of a Mastodon toot into the title.

CODEINE
Frigid Stars LP
2023 Europe reissue

Simple and pure #Slowcore of the highest order.

The next one from my Vancouver haul, and one I’d been wanting a vinyl copy of for a very long time.

I bought A LOT of albums on Sub-Pop in the #90s , and other than maybe Seaweed’s Weak or Sunny Day Real Estate’s Diary, this might be my favorite Sub-Pop album ever.

There’s a great cover of “New Year’s” on here by Sooyoung Park, which he himself wouldn’t record until he was later in the band Seam, and it fits in nicely here amongst the rest of the album’s bleak, slow, and cold atmosphere.

This is the original album version, which is minus the 2 songs that the American CD included. Which is fine, as it works far better as an ALBUM minus those two songs.

A wonderful score for me.

Just as with literally all federated social media, users are encouraged to find an instance that matches their values and preferred admin involvement, or to spin up their own instances.

Of course users will not have complete control of content moderation on their instance, that is literally impossible on so many levels. If you want complete control, create your own instance. Even then, it’s not complete control because you can not force other instances to federate with you.

If there is anybody capable of configuring a non-default blocklist, it is the type of people that choose to host their own fediverse instance.

@bnuuy and thank you for asking.

Decontextualized quotes from discussions about edge cases of principles are a problem for public communication.

@KekunPlazas @devnull @Arapalla @TheBreadmonkey
What? Seriously?

Not really.

Unless you're referring to the wrong comment.

Oh so same as every other instance.

Your choice of admin team is much more important than which software platform you use, especially if you use a third-party app like Voyager.
