Whoa this is awesome. There are soooo many obscure seeds I’d like to get, but that aren’t buyable! Definitely joining.

In addition to Loops, there was also Vidzy and Goldfish, but I don’t think they still exist?

I love WAFRN so much 😭

You can from Mastodon! Not sure from Pixelfed but it seems probable? With mastodon it’s something like… you just @ mention the community, and have one separate line at the top to become the post title? I think?

It does have groups! And they’re even interoperable with Lemmy/PieFed/Mbin groups. The experience is definitely very Facebook like, and there are themes that make it even more so.

On the other hand, every instance I’ve ever been on has run into serious lag issues and/or collapsed entirely… Hoping that’s not universal or else gets fixed soon.

The gui installer was roughly about as simple as any other distro I’ve tried, and stuff generally seemed to work out of the box. There are more packages than one might expect from such a small distro too. Not sure I have any advice specific to Void really, although getting a custom bootloader onto a Chromebook was certainly a trip lol

Void, because it works really well on my super low-resource chromebook!

While i definitely agree, none of this is a deal breaker for me. What is a deal breaker is this: I am on my third Friendica account now because the first 2 instances both started struggling and then collapsed. The one I’m on now is suddenly running very slow, just like the first 2 before the end. It seems to me like maybe they’re kinda hard to run?

I’m always soooo excited for native fediverse apps, because PWAs are annoying in a bunch of ways. But then it actually happens, and I remember that none of the cool themes will be in there 😅

This is still AWESOME though!! I think that’s what was holding a lotttttt of people off, waiting for an app

WHOAAA!!! that’s actually a HUGE deal and it hadn’t even occurred to me how much I was missing it.

Is that a Magnus Archives reference

It wouod be amazing to see Ibis take off and pick up more developers

Oh wow, I never thought to do it that way, but it makes so much sense! Thanks for the tip

Ooh neat!

I don’t have that… 🙃

Running a web server on my residential connection is against my ISP’S terms of service.

I’ve always wanted to do this, but I can’t afford a VPS. And everytime I look into self-hosting on hardware at home, I just get the impression that it’s nearly impossible… My ISP forbids it, and even if I can evade their notice, people say having a public facing setup at home is bound to get you attacked eventually

Closest we’ve got right now is Flohmarkt, right? If they haven’t already been working on some kinda trust system, they’re probably taking code contributions. I saw somewhere else somebody suggested Loops integration for it, so they could have something like the tiktok shop. I mean capitalism is garbage, but unfortunately we do currently gotta buy stuff occasionally, and it would be nice if that experience sucked less.

Ooh that’s a great idea! Would this also be a good place to seek additional mods for not-quite-abandoned communities? I’ve been realllyyyy slacking on mine, life just gets in the way lol

Oh cool!! Yeah I definitely tried it on a few silly ones just because lol. Now somebody’s just gotta try Sharkey, Misskey, MBin, uh… GoToSocial. Probably a bunch more that I don’t know about. ActivityPub is so neat!
