I play guitar, watch USMLR and NHL, occasionally brew beer, enjoy live music and travel, and practice sarcasm.

  • The specs would be how the communication between the servers is supposed to happen. Like

    1. Server A sends a “hello?” message to server B and serve B will respond with “hello.”
    2. Sever A then sends a message “I’m server A” and server B will respond “prove it” so server A will send proof via IDProof spec v1.2 and server B will say “ok A, how can I help?”
    3. Server A will send "please me user comment 12345” and server B will respond with "comment 12345 was posted by user Skroob on 1/1/2020 and says ‘I have the same combination on my luggage!’

    So the complaint would be like "we used IDProof spec v1.2” and the serve said “no that’s only valid on prime number Thursdays!”






  • Here is how the OPs example shows up with all the x-posted communities listed.

    I have noticed, though, that two posts of the same URL within a single community are also listed as x-posted, and the “duplicates” don’t show up in the community’s feed at all. Which can be problematic if you’re linking to a page with a static URL that changes over time (such as sports league statistics). The trick so far has been to highlight text that has changed on the page and get a link to the highlighted text.


  • Fediverse is applicable to all types of applications federated with ActivityPub. Mastodon is microbloging (Twitter). PeerTube is video hosting (Youtube). Pixelfed is photo hosting (Instagram). Lemmy is link aggregation (Reddit), and link aggregation is being called Threadiverse. But all of these platforms are built on ActivityPub, so you can interact directly between all of them. The kbin platform does both microblogging and link aggregation in one (so it’s like combining Mastodon and Lemmy into one).
