thank you! I'm so pleased to hear that ☺️

 

Hello everyone! This is Elena (@_elena@mastodon.social on Mastodon), the blogger behind The Future is Federated.

I'm really grateful to see that my blog posts are often shared on here... even old ones (like my Friendica show & tell from last July is still making the rounds).

I just wanted to give you a heads up that I am now self-hosting my Ghost blog at https://news.elenarossini.com/ - the old URLs (with the subdomain blog) will no longer work... that blog, on a Ghost (Pro) plan will be deleted from the Ghost servers this weekend.

All this to say: please update your RSS feeds: https://news.elenarossini.com/rss and if you're trying to open an old URL, just swap "blog" with "news" in the subdomain.

cheers!

Elena

FYI I wrote a blog post doing a show and tell of Sharkey (a fork of Misskey) in December: https://news.elenarossini.com/sharkey-a-fediverse-project-that-is-beautiful-inside-out/ 🤗

For people interested in seeing a *key software in action, I’ve written a blog post about Sharkey in December: https://news.elenarossini.com/sharkey-a-fediverse-project-that-is-beautiful-inside-out/

Unrelated but routine reminder that Substack is profiting from nazi content and is funded by A16Z: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/11/substack-extremism-nazi-white-supremacy-newsletters/676156/

Aw thank you for the kind words - it’s super encouraging to hear you’ve been enjoying my articles ☺️

I was doing research for my part 2 on Voyager (my Lemmy app) and that’s how I stumbled upon these comments. Thanks again ❤️

This is wonderful, thank you so much!

I’ve been holding off from switching to Android (and getting a GrapheneOS x Pixel phone) because I have 5 years’ worth of messages on Signal on my iPhone… I’ll look into this method for sure

Oooh interesting! Could you please elaborate / share any resources about this?

I’m now hosting my own Pixelfed instance (as of Tuesday). I really like being in charge of my own server…

The drawback I’m seeing is that Explore and search sometimes yield no results.

Like searching for “Nikon” just now results in “no content found” 🤷🏻‍♀️

My almost 4-year-old started watching cartoons a few months ago. She has about 20 min of screen time a day max, all slow, wholesome stuff. She LOVES SpiderMan because I got her DUPLO and LEGO characters and we play with them all the time. I got her a Spidey book but she didn’t like it at all - it’s very shallow and there’s no moral to the story. I showed her the title sequence from SpiderMan in the 1970s I believe and she really liked it

Thank you for your comment – OP here (of the blog post).

**Calckey.world **is a Sharkey instance (a fork of MissKey). I LOVE IT SO MUCH, it's my favorite Fediverse software so far... I'm planning to write about it soon for my blog.

Yeah DeepL is NOT part of the Fediverse - I used it to translate a comment from Portuguese to English. Still my favorite online translator but my husband also uses ChatGPT for those purposes and I've been really impressed by its quality, too.

Loops.video just launched - it's the Fediverse's answer to TikTok by the creator of Pixelfed, FediDB, etc. It's not active yet, for now you can register your username, but Dan has yet to onboard users. I believe he said he needs to upgrade to a new server because of all the sign-ups.

Linux phone: yeah, I cannot wait to build one. Definitely my goal for next year - as well as a Linux computer :)

 

Hi everyone!

I'm new here and I wonder if you have any advice/testimonials to share regarding Fediverse interoperability.

I'm working on a post about it for my blog series The Future is Federated. I’d like to do a show & tell, demonstrating what interoperability looks like between #Lemmy and #Friendica, #Mastodon + a federated blog to start with.

There’s a superb post by @informapirata@mastodon.uno about Lemmy and Friendica communities: https://www.informapirata.it/2024/01/02/mastodon-tips-how-to-use-friendica-groups-forums-and-lemmy-communities/ and I wonder if you have ever tried further integrations.

I know this sounds crazy, but does #Phanpy work with Lemmy? I’m asking because I use it with not only #Mastodon but also #Pixelfed and Friendica.

Anyway, any testimonials and tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
