Thanks! All good now.
I’m getting “[200] Error while sending: Failed to send direct message” when I try to log in.
Interesting, the other numbers all match the graphs, but that one is wrong.
I would report it to them but it seems like you need a github account to do that.
June 11 here too lol
Beehaw might be a good one.
I think the best solution to this is a way to migrate an account to another instance, which I’ve heard is in the works.
I never realized the importance of squatting.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks! This got me some other stuff mixed in, but searching “flipboard.com” worked well.
How do I find the accounts to follow? Is there a list somewhere?
I like @DarthPutinKGB rounding out the list at #100.
That’s true. I guess I like the idea of being able to distribute a community across servers, but it may be more trouble than it’s worth to implement.
I personally don’t think this is a huge issue, but it is an issue. I usually pick the biggest community on a topic, or if there are multiple that are fairly active, subscribe to both/all. The only real complaint I have about it is that users will often make the same post to both communities, so I see duplicate posts on my timeline and the discussion is split in half.
I do think it would be nice if there was a way for community mods to choose to combine two communities across instances, in a way that they would appear as a single community to users. I don’t know how that would be implemented though.
It’s a shame this is being downvoted, because I think these are interesting topics to discuss. A while back I found this article which talks about similar ideas; it’s is from a few years ago but I think makes points that are still valid. It talks about how there is a lot of ambiguity in ActivityPub, and there aren’t really standardized ways for different implementations to interact - a lot of it is ad hoc, and as you pointed out, doesn’t always work well, or may work better in one direction than the other. Hopefully it will become more standardized in the future and remove some of the ambiguity.
I hope this one works better! I signed up at tchncs when I started Lemmy, and it seems like I chose well :)
Interesting. This explains why posts never seem to have more than a few likes on the small Mastodon instance I use. I have to say I’m not a fan.
