Federated Social Media with Topic-Based Following and Blocking?

ActivityPub Test Kategorie

  • P

    I'm looking for a federated social media platform that allows for easy topic-based following and blocking, similar to how you can follow or block hashtags on Twitter. On Lemmy, you can follow communities, but there are so many that it becomes overwhelming. I want a platform where I can see or block everything related to a specific tag, and also view only the most popular posts about that topic, similar to how Lemmy communities work. Mastodon, for example, only shows the latest posts, which isn't ideal for trending content. I don't want a chat-like experience; I want to quickly see what's trending about a topic or what's trending in general, while being able to block a few specific topics. Ideally, I wouldn't have to spend hours curating a list of communities or followed users. Does anyone know of a platform that fits these criteria?

    You don't need a "platform", you need a Fediverse indexer + search engine.

    pumpkindrama@reddthat.com NodeBB supports topic based following, because it's a forum and that's literally how it was done way back then.

    You can follow tags as well.

    Yes. When the reply is posted to C, it is sent to A. A then sends as:Announce to C, as well as any other communities that follow it. B seems to be irrelevant here.

    Tell me about it! There are some very cool people (i.e. thisismissem@hachyderm.io) working on content classification and tagging so that the burden of filtering out this kind of content isn't borne by server admins directly.

    Very interesting article! I have immense respect for jerry@infosec.exchange, he was one of the first people I found on the fediverse, and it's no wonder why, he's revered quite highly by others as being a generous and kind admin. I do want to point out one thing, and that is that Mastodon has some design decisions that make it rather resource and storage intensive. There are oodles of lighter software out there, some with even more features than Mastodon, and some with less. For example, snac.bsd.cafe (https://snac.bsd.cafe/) runs on Snac, which is fast as hell. I am going to guess that a not insignificant portion of Jerry's bill is caching assets. Mastodon likes to save everything it encounters, videos, images, avatars, everything... forever (though I imagine this is customisable). Most likely the assets are viewed a handful of times in one day and never seen again... but you'll pay to store it forever!

    Now that PewDiePie is on his Linux/engineering arc, could he help boost the Fediverse?

    PewDiePie built his fame and fortune on a centralized platform. I am not certain whether he will see the benefit of a decentralized future beyond dollar signs. Happy to be proven wrong.

    @reiver@mastodon.social apologies if this is inappropriate to ask, but has there been any thought given to speaker fees? I'm enthusiastic about ActivityPub and love to speak about it, but I'm not in an secure enough place financially to fly myself to Vancouver without some sort of arrangement in place.

    Let's clarify something here. Mastodon follower only posts don't have the "public pseudo user" addressed, do they? That's the important piece that this whole thing hinges upon If it is present, Mastodon is a fault. If not, Pixelfed messed up. No?
