Why do you think so?

What do you mean by user abstraction? First I’ve seen this mentioned, or put this way.

I’m asking about before anyone has subscribed to remote instances’ stuff, how do they find the remote instances’ stuff to begin with? Sorry, having trouble finding a clearer way to ask this without getting in the weeds

Thanks for the detailed reply! The potential complexity (depending on how much you want to do with it) is a major part of why I was asking, both in terms of use and administration.

Despite the challenges that poses and absence of mobile apps, it still sounds great, but definitely something to go in with an idea of what you do and don’t want to do with it.

Why?

Thanks for yours and @[email protected]’s deep dive into this!

By automated reporting do you mean something like filters on the backend to flag offensive posts per some custom settings?

The pre-seed stage startup is backed by angel investors and NYC accelerator Wolf, which Openvibe attended last year.

Openvibe is available as a free app on iOS and Android, but plans to experiment with a desktop version. The app will later introduce a subscription plan to generate revenue.

Have any services like this managed to develop a sustainable business model, especially after taking on investment?

Does Bluesky? Have they been running marketing? Much of what I’ve seen/heard of it has been more a result of Twitter imploding and people bringing up alternatives than any concerted marketing pushes.

edited for clarity, realized I’d overlooked Threads mention

😂 Hey, I realize you were already able to tell that this made its way over (and seems like the edit made the original do so too), but appreciate the thorough check! Federation, gotta love these rough edges sometimes!

What sets IceShrimp apart from the other Misskey forks in your opinion?

That’s kind of what I was thinking may be the case, but I’m not sure if I’m asking this well enough or if I may be misunderstanding ActivityPub.

It’s not clear to me how, without communication/searching outside of an ActivityPub instance, it would ever find other ActivityPub instances to connect to and communicate with.

Any indications yet of how this may compare to similar group features or focuses via Friendica and Mobilizon respectively?

Thanks!

Thanks! Er…What does C2S in this context mean? I read over some of the details on Vocata (it sounds really cool!), but remain unsure what’s meant by C2S here.

Thanks, it looks cool! It brings to mind some of the terminal-based connections some have made, if I remember right.

Any in particular you’re fond of but don’t see mentioned as much?

That could be part of it, but I was thinking more in terms of sharing resources like what you linked in your other comment as well as other methods to encourage community activity.

Also technical stuff like what to be aware of regarding banner/image resolutions, language settings, handling community handoffs to other moderators, etc. Basically a mix of more specific Lemmy support and general community building/outreach discussion.

By chance do you happen to use Revolt? If so, do you (or @[email protected]) know which client might be good to use?

Another big, lingering question is why Meta wants to do this in the first place. Lambert says Meta wants to give users more control over their posts and followers, with easier avenues to engage across platforms.

So will they be implementing a method to export this data in ways that could be imported to other platforms? Otherwise I don’t see where federation fits in here all that much.

Extending reach isn’t really the same as control imo.
