I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

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!
From the different colors of the two speech bubbles, I’m pretty sure HE’S the human toilet, and she’s begrudgingly ok with it. Whereas foreskin is apparently a bridge too far.
Her loss though, more for me then lol.
This doesn’t realllllyyyy answer your main question, but you got me curious how WriteFreely blog posts look from other platforms, and which ones can see them. So, I tried a few with this post of mine. Obviously some of these wouldn’t make any sense, and also for some of them I may have just never figured out how to properly format the URL/search the way it wanted. But, here’s what I got on every platform where I have an account:
Having used BookWyrm and NeoDB, it’s definitely very comparable to GoodReads vs IMDB, at least in terms of interface/user experience/aesthetics/etc. BookWyrm being specifically for books, it has a ton of fields that wouldn’t be applicable to anything else, i.e. “publisher”, " ISBN". It can pull data automatically from some outside book databases. NeoDB seems able to do that same thing, except for any kind of media. Not sure where all they’re pulling the data from. They also seem to have fields for just about anything, from tracklist to director to author.
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?
