Oh cool I didn’t know this. Excited to see more peertube and threadiverse convergence

This is exciting I hope to see where this goes. Have you seen the fediverse project Terence Eden has been working on? https://location.edent.tel/ maybe you could join forces!

its funny you are saying that right now I was just reading about how many fediverse projects are there, I am sure we could get it packaged up for Yunohost if that was a stopper for you…

its very different. I would recommend signing up to instances of both and playing around with them to get a hang of it. I really don’t like the design of mobilizon I think they made a lot of confusing decisions

I would recommend Gancio instead of Mobilizon to be honest. Its also fediverse event software but designed quite different. You can see a pretty active server of it here https://bcn.convoca.la

Thanks for the prompt! I am trying to talk more publicly about all this fediverse internet hubub thats swirling in my head lately. There is a massive seachange here that feels possible for maybe the first time in my adult life and I think it will only get there if we all really push for the fediverse to become what we desire in the world.

Ghost itself is one of the bigger winners in the oops-Substack-has-Nazis newsletter migration, and letting authors on its platform more easily distribute their work is itself in stark contrast to Substack, which is reacting to its failing business model by making it harder to leave its own increasingly-social-network-like platform.

a synopses of this Verge piece by the autotldr bot Lemmy bot

I ran across this exchange with Ghost CEO John O’Nolan on the Product Hunt announcement:

Levelsio:

Wow great work, do you think payments will start to also go this way with Ghost in the future? As ActivityPub is decentralized, maybe having some decentralized type payments fit into the future

John O’Nolan replied:

yeah! I think crypto is actually starting to get interesting for the first time now, because most people are no longer interested in it. Generally that signals the end of the hype phase and the beginning of practical utility - so I’m very interested in exploring how decentralised payments could work in Ghost in the future. There are all kinds of interesting and legitimate and interesting usecases which Stripe (mostly Visa/Mastercard) refuse to support

Well the part that excites me is that Ghost is one of the biggest newer CMS’s started after Wordpress. Ghost is also open source so at least the work they do can be reused into the future (unlike say Threads or Flipboard) and we will suddenly have the ability of a lot of large parts of the web to be able to switch on federation without much effort. Look at all these large entities that use Ghost. Everytime one of these big players joins the fediverse there is this overflow effect onto little community players who might have chosen to use Ghost or WordPress or Flarum etc a long time ago and suddenly without the individual sites having to do much they can grow a whole new audience. So in short, I don’t use Ghost and am not personally super excited by the project, but I am excited to see who it ends up bringing in!

Ghost was originally just for blogging, but they recently decided to take on Substack directly so now they do both. I think Buttondown originally came out of Mailchip being shitty and then they were also taking on Substack so I think this move is that if they team up together and also with the fediverse they have a shot at directly competing with Substack (in the VC minded way I assume)

This is just such an action packed post @[email protected], thanks for the mention!

Do you know what it’s called?

ah thanks for this. So lemmy is doing something wonky then with how they auto complete tags in a description field and then are not actually doing what one would expect with that… Can you tag an account in the description of a post in https://azorius.net?

it works fine in Photon, so it seems like its just a lemmy web front end issue. I didn’t realize till I looked in this other client that it worked

Any recomendations for ROMs to try? I just installed it but I don’t really know the world of ROMs

still have no idea what you are trying to say…

what Fedi language from Mastodon are you referring to?

oh weird I just looked at it from https://phtn.app and I see it is indeed a tag. it doesn’t show at clickable from the web view… I guess I need to spend more time understanding how the different front ends actually work
