pfefferle@mastodon.social oh interesting! > We’ve also made it easier to follow people from other sites. When you click “Follow” on someone else’s blog, you’ll now be taken to your own site to complete it. It keeps things simple and familiar, even when you start following someone from another site. How do you know the user pressing the button has a WordPress site?

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.

Thanks! It's something that I personally feel is more performant and future proof for other important things like private discussions (which Mastodon also doesn't support natively yet — mention spamming doesn't count.)

pfefferle@mastodon.social only one way to find out

liaizon@social.wake.st are the long emoji horizontal or vertical? The former is easier to support (setting just a max height), but the latter has concerns re: line height. cc silverpill@mitra.social

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online while this is a known workaround, I don't think it's a tenable long-term solution. You can have "real decentralization" without the quirks, too.

@emperor@feddit.uk it is! The in-development stuff I'm working on makes it much easier to post directly to a Lemmy community. This is probably the first, yes. It was also a bit of a live test at the same time.

@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.
