Yeah, translation is the only thing here I have any desire at all to use

Thanks!

I don’t think that’s entirely unreasonable, I’m curious to see how those will compare too!

I agree, but I’m glad they did it anyway.

Sorry if this has already been posted, this video is from a couple weeks ago, but I just saw it in my recommendations and thought folks might enjoy the win for Linux :)

That’s unfortunate to hear, I haven’t really used loops at all but I hope they can figure it out to a point of adequacy

Yeah, if it wants to actually compete with YouTube it would have to have monetization. I’ve talked about that on Lemmy before, I agree.

But at least with a good algorithm it could be like old youtube where folks can speak to the world and share things in video format

I also feel like the algorithm is kinda brutal. Even if there’s good stuff I’m not sure I’d ever really find it

Just wanna stop and say open source is cool, neat to see what instances have what interfaces :)

:((( I really enjoyed running GNOME on void, I hope that experience doesn’t suffer too much

These look lovely :)

I’m falling asleep or I’d go grab a link but I believe !webrevival@lemm.ee has a discussion post now, I think I saw it a minute ago

I’ll have to sit down when I have a moment and see if it’s possible to create an account or if there’s an instance up yet!!

Oh nice! I’ve been thinking about migrating for a while but that’s one of the big things I needed to figure out

Though I was kinda thinking about switching over to .ee, which, maybe not the call anymore lol 😅

Lol, no worries. Hope you have a lovely day!

By the way, it’s ActivityPub, like activity publication, or public activity :)

Lemmy, piefed, and mbin are all similar pieces of software that run on a server.

They are each capable of hosting a small social network website with a similar reddit-like format. They all also support the activitypub standard, which means that they can be linked together, so that when you go to one of those social media sites (lemmy.world for example) you can see any other site that they’re “federated” with, even if that social media site is powered by a different software that supports activitypub (I’m on lemmy.world but I can see communities and posts from piefed.social)

I generally call lemmy, mbin and piefed “fediverse platforms” because they’re each a platform that you can make a fediverse account on, but that usage is a bit imperfect, since each individual site could also be described as a platform, and is where your account is actually hosted. You could be more specific and call them “fediverse/federated link aggregators” if you wanted to specifically refer to the ones with a similar format to reddit.

These pieces of software are different because they’re built in different ways (different languages and underlying structure), have different priorities, and as software projects are run in different ways with different leadership, all of which is how you get differences in features and implementation. Lemmy is the oldest of these similar platforms, and as such is the most established. In the open source world it’s very easy and common to end up with a lot of fragmented similar projects. Its both a blessing and a curse.

There isn’t perfect language for all these things because in the grand scheme of things, it’s a rather new way for social media platforms to work, so the language around how to describe or refer to these things hasn’t really “settled”

It can federate with lemmy, essentially just being another type of node in the same web of individual websites.

Some of those sites are hosted with lemmy, some are hosted with piefed, some are hosted with mbin.

Each of those (lemmy, piefed, mbin) is a piece of software that can run as a “server” for a social media site, and can use the activitypub protocol to talk to other sites that are federated together making the contents of other sites visible. They can federate regardless of whether the software powering the site is the same or not.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊
