I like knitting, math, and uplifting the proletariat.

I do it pretty much the same as you actually! It’s always kinda hard to tell what other people are doing though. Since my instance is kinda small, I barely see a tiny fraction of whatever total boosts/favorites a post has unless i click through to the orignal.
It wouod be amazing to see Ibis take off and pick up more developers
Oh wow, I never thought to do it that way, but it makes so much sense! Thanks for the tip
I don’t have that… 🙃
Running a web server on my residential connection is against my ISP’S terms of service.
I’ve always wanted to do this, but I can’t afford a VPS. And everytime I look into self-hosting on hardware at home, I just get the impression that it’s nearly impossible… My ISP forbids it, and even if I can evade their notice, people say having a public facing setup at home is bound to get you attacked eventually
Closest we’ve got right now is Flohmarkt, right? If they haven’t already been working on some kinda trust system, they’re probably taking code contributions. I saw somewhere else somebody suggested Loops integration for it, so they could have something like the tiktok shop. I mean capitalism is garbage, but unfortunately we do currently gotta buy stuff occasionally, and it would be nice if that experience sucked less.
I think people use those for tea so they must be reasonably tasty. However, the ones in the store look pretty rough. I’d eat the greans on a fresh one though
Oh cool!! Yeah I definitely tried it on a few silly ones just because lol. Now somebody’s just gotta try Sharkey, Misskey, MBin, uh… GoToSocial. Probably a bunch more that I don’t know about. ActivityPub is so neat!
This doesn’t realllllyyyy answer your main question, but you got me curious how WriteFreely blog posts look from other platforms, and which ones can see them. So, I tried a few with this post of mine. Obviously some of these wouldn’t make any sense, and also for some of them I may have just never figured out how to properly format the URL/search the way it wanted. But, here’s what I got on every platform where I have an account:
Having used BookWyrm and NeoDB, it’s definitely very comparable to GoodReads vs IMDB, at least in terms of interface/user experience/aesthetics/etc. BookWyrm being specifically for books, it has a ton of fields that wouldn’t be applicable to anything else, i.e. “publisher”, " ISBN". It can pull data automatically from some outside book databases. NeoDB seems able to do that same thing, except for any kind of media. Not sure where all they’re pulling the data from. They also seem to have fields for just about anything, from tracklist to director to author.
It’s really nice! Great UI, not particularly buggy, feels great on the user end. Honestly pretty darn polished for a fediverse platform I’d never heard of until like a week ago. Also, the flagship instance (where I’m at) seems to be mostly reviews in Chinese, and it’s always nice to see parts of the fediverse that aren’t dominated by English. I am somewhat confused by the difference between a comment and a review, since both terms are used but everything seems to wind up in the same place? That said, I also haven’t tried very hard to figure it out either.
Maybe Loops, for shortform portrait aspect ratio stuff?
I convinced one person to make an account but they don’t use it. I do know another person IRL who uses Mastodon, so i send them Lemmy stuff there
I’ve been doing that exact thing, but only as long as the images would be Instagram-worthy in the first place. Not just temporary junk. I figure it’s probably more optimized for picture storage, since that’s the whole point right? Plus then I get it two places instead of one!
If you use the raw media link itself instead of the link to the post, it displays on Lemmy exactly the same as if you’d uploaded it here in the first place. So that’s nice.
Something about fractals generated from generalized random Fibonacci sequences
Loves me some
Oooh thank you for linking this, I hadn’t heard of it. Super cool!!
WHOAAA!!! that’s actually a HUGE deal and it hadn’t even occurred to me how much I was missing it.
