Well because your original post was kinda misleading.

There are multiple things you talk about:

• “Ding-ding” notifications - well you can adjust notifications, to help with not developing an addiction

• her group chat - do they want to move their friend group chat to a fedi platform? Or were you just clumsily wording?

• family fedi server - that is what you are talking about now, and it’s a completely different thing. You could set up a closed-registration mastodon or vernissage instance for that, but tbh I wouldnt recommend using any ActivityPub software for the purpose of sharing private photos and messages with your family. Because there is always the danger of that data federating to all kinds of servers…

Might be worth it to email Corridor and ask them if there is an easy way to download the videos

I mean, in microblogging a lot of posts will have no discussions simply because thats the nature of microblogging. But if you saw no interaction and discussion under posts of people who have lots of followers, then certainly yes.

It means that if you see a post, you will finally see all replies and interactions to that post. Currently this is not working.

Mastodon mainly only looks like there is no interaction happening because of their federating logic. Which is being worked on to be fixed sometimes this year

Best you ask at [email protected]

Yes, the ay they do it at KDE is the most seamless imteraction currently possible between lemmy and mastodon

You read the post past that sentence?

Edit: for those who don’t know, Sharkey, Iceshrimp, Catodon and Firefish are fediverse software that sometimes are referred to as “*key” because they are all forks of the Misskey software.

Hosted Wordpress with ActivityPub plugin

These services are mainly relevant for PC/browser users. Apps should be able to resolve the original links to open them natively (at least Boost does that). And with Lemmy 1.0 coming up this will be in the codebase of Lemmy itself.

Lemm.ee tells me that it cant find this community?

From the RFC that is linked above:

“Plugins will make Lemmy more flexible, and allow implementing features which are too niche for merging into Lemmy core. It will allow Lemmy to focus on core features, while allowing outside developers to contribute new features without using Rust.”

Well yeah, Spotify was invented in Sweden, home of Pirate Bay and the Pirate Party. To cite one article about the service: “Developed to bridge the gap between illegal file sharing innovation and a behind-the-times record industry, Spotify is conducting a delicate balancing act.”

No? Simply wait with that part for one year. That should not be too hard

Well yes, the whole concept of the fediverse is that of social media as a public service. All activitypub data is public.

TIL Al Gore invented the internet?

Well at least not according to the legal view of the tax authorities… from what I have heard anecdotally over the years about german tax authorities, they seem to be very much not living in a 21st century digital world.

They previously had a pretty unique structure (gemeinnützige GmbH) but the german authorities stripped them from that status saying “free social media is not a public benefit purpose”.

That PR is not even merged and deployed yet. When it gets released: simply ask your instance admin, I guess. (I think looking into the source code might also tell you but no idea where to search exactly)
