rolle@mementomori.social I'm sorry this happened to you. It's so easy to hurl hurtful accusations with no accountability that one ought to treat them as you would treat drive by criticisms. I'm pretty far down the spectrum from a "tech bro" but I still got called one simply because NodeBB federated and dared to serve that content online (nevermind that every other fedi server does the same). In that scenario there was nothing I could do as an individual except wait for an instance mod to lay some facts out. Anything I said was instantly derided, even if it was the same thing. So if I reply with courtesy and I get back vitriol, why do I bother? I don't now. So maybe that's more tech bro-y.

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.

tchambers@indieweb.social this, in a nutshell. The fediverse vid AP can support both A and B, and we can wax poetic about how one is superior to the other but both are legitimate UX decisions by their respective software stacks. I prefer B myself, of course. cc tommi@pan.rent j12t@j12t.social

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.)

For what it's worth your blog does show up fine in NodeBB as well. Perhaps you are missing the @context property and so Mastodon is refusing to parse it?

I think the FEP process is overly complicated for what it is, but it's definitely helpful if you have multiple implementors on board. The easiest (but least accessible) solution is to document something on your own site, but that lacks the social proof that a finalized FEP has. Just some food for thought I'm looking to create an FEP for cross posting and would love to get the entire threadiverse dev community involved.

@pfefferle Wow, danke für das super Video! Für mich ist das Fediverse noch ganz neu, hab jetzt mein Blog föderiert und mir einen Account bei Mastodon erstellt. Fühle mich noch etwas verloren, aber bin überzeugt auf dem richtigen Weg zu sein
