I'll also try to mention admins @jelloeater85 @Thekingoflorda @Rooki and @kersploosh

In reality, any user can force federation by simply searching for the handle of a user or content of the fedeverse from the search box of their instance. This method always works unless the instance has been previously defederated.

The problem is that from feddit.it I can't "find" the contents of Threads (and not even from lemmy.world), even when they are those of the ten Instagram executives visible from mastodon.social and from any other instance that has not defederated Threads

Yes, but I can't "find" Threads content from Lemmy.world

informapirata OP , 3 months ago

I understand your choices well. We have made an internal evaluation on the opportunity to federate Threads with our instances: with the mastodon poliversity.it instance we decided to silence Threads; with the Friendica poliverso.org instance we used the newly introduced functionality to obfuscate all the personal data of our users towards Threads; with the Lemmy feddit.it instance, however, we decided to leave the federation to try to allow Italian Threads users (feddit.it is an Italian-speaking instance) to use activitypub groups and discover the "free Fediverse"

informapirata OP , 3 months ago

Of course you are right (sorry, but in my message I wrote federata instead of defederate)

informapirata OP , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

Now I understand: I thought that federating Threads was a deliberate choice, but it was probably an incidental phenomenon simply due to the large numbers managed by your instance.

Probably one of the ten Instagram executives who have a federated profile has tried to search for one of your contents. Or he found the message of a followed user who participated in one of your threads in his Timeline. Or they are simply experimenting with your instance...😁

I said the wrong thing here. Excuse me

In any case, there is at least one other Lemmy instance, probably for the same reason: it is an instance that handles quite large numbers anyway:

Um... that's not what it looks like from the relevant page: https://sh.itjust.works/instances

Yes, I think so too, but it is a choice that is up to the administrators because it can have dramatic repercussions on the maintenance of the server

informapirata OP , 3 months ago

You're right, sorry 🤦‍♂️ 🙇‍♂️ : the federated instance was threads.ruin.io, not threads.net

informapirata OP , 3 months ago

Thanks for the mention. This is a very interesting and informative page for all users of the fediverse

Had a look, seems like facebook–ish UI but 10 years ago. Correct?

No, that's not correct at all! 🤦🤦🤦

Friendica is the most beautiful and powerful social media software in the Fediverse: it can make you write long, formatted posts with in-line images, with title or without title, it can publish scheduled posts, it can make you follow websites with RSS feeds , Diaspora and GNU Social profiles, it has a connector for Bluesky and TumbIr, it can manage circles like Google+, it can manage public ActivityPub groups (basically like Lemmy communities) but also private ones, it manages activitypub events like those of Mobilizon and Gancio.

The development is continuous and always cutting edge and the developers are pretty smart!

Unfortunately it has two problems that compromise its success:

• the lack of an iOS app
• a painful web 1.1 interface reminiscent of the original Facebook, but unfortunately the development staff no longer has any professional graphics. In reality it would be enough to adapt the soapbox interface (not everyone knows that it is possible to manage a friendica account through the soapbox interface!), but this is a bit of a sore point...

If you want to undertake the development of new Fediverse software, I recommend you take a look at Friendica and, if possible, also Misskey, Bonfire and Kbin; however in the Fediverse it is also important to try to reinvent the wheel, because the diversity of ideas is the true richness of the Fediverse

I will take a bigger look at it now

Very good. I'm glad I was able to spark your curiosity! 😅
Sometimes, good ideas can hide even behind the worst interfaces and the most obsolete technologies... 😁
