Naw bro it’s neat
On top of that, it’s apparently used in astronomy to represent clusters of stars, like a constellation.
Isn’t that kind of perfect though
TL;DR: Articles on mastodon will now automatically link to the author’s fediverse handle.

Seems like an essential feature to me. Curious to see if it’ll be in the beta.
That’s how mastodon works now and i think it’s worthwhile as a basic feature.
It’s not that they don’t want an algirithm. They just don’t want one that’s profit motivated.
Are the apps not compatible?
They can always claim the second even when it’s the first.
Love to see unique features for piefed. So many different ways to tackle “threadiverse” as a project and I think we’re all better off with some experimentation
If anybody’s interested in signing up for the rolling beta, here’s the link
Seems like it’s less a problem with pixelfed and more an issue with pixelfed.social?
The major difference is that it’s modular. So you can pick and choose which traditional social network features you want to use.
Well my own usage so far consists of a mastodon list with my favorite peertube, nebula, and other video creators. Since it’s chronological, it roughly serves the same purpose as the OG YouTube subscriptions page.
The creator is a nebula employee. Don’t believe it’s officially sanctioned, but they aren’t distributing videos, just notifying of new releases. Should all be in the clear based on my limited knowledge.
Having moderation work in an expected and consistent way is hardly the same thing as moderation tooling.
Love the idea is a “similar communities” button but I don’t know if I’d say searching communities is really that hard.
I think there’s some pretty low hanging fruit here, but most of it is platform specific.
On Mastodon, I think this looks like a revamp of the for you section. As it stands the posts are mostly human curated and the people section is mostly a static list. That is, if you’ve scrolled through the list once, that list will not be different next time unless you’ve followed a significant number of people outside of it. It would be nice if it at least showed you the next 20 or so by the same metric.
On lemmy, I think making the functionality provided by the trending communities community a first class feature would go a long way.
#BlackMastodon is a thing. I think there’s also a guppe group?
Creator coops like nebula are absolutely where things need to end up on the higher usage end.
