For me, social media is not very attractive, I would be happy to follow my favourite artists and some institutions via RSS. But the negative impact on society, democracy and many people, as well as how many have become dependent on them, made me want to do something: I founded this instance to promote a better alternative.

I am a pianist, composer and student writing a thesis in CorpusLinguistics, work with Moodle at UniGraz and on improving WordPress ActivityPub thanks to NLnet.

In my very limited, non-dev view of ActivityPub, it seems as though there's nothing that devs can do that would be a "violation of the spec".

With the way that a lot of implementations only use certain parts of the spec, fragmenting the Fediverse into seperate spaces in which only uses of the same software are compatible with each other; it leaves a lot to be desired...

What can devs do "wrong" that would make them seem malicious in the space?

I would have thought complete interoperability would be a major feature, yet I have been infinitely disappointed with current implementations and their almost complete incompatibility with other implementations.

Lemmy and Mastodon being one of the most notable examples. You can post to Lemmy from Mastodon and it seems to work pretty well for the most part. Yet posts from Lemmy on Mastodon, outside of strictly plain text comments, are literally just a link. From what I understand this is due to Mastodon not accepting "article" content types, which is what Lemmy uses for "posts".

@BeAware @devnull IMHO the issue is one the Lemmy side. It does not provide a summary to the article.

There's a new free open source Reddit-style platform for the Fediverse called PieFed. It's still fairly early in development, but you can try out a demo server at:

➡️ https://piefed.social

There's more info on its official website at:

➡️ https://join.piefed.social

You can follow the project at:

➡️ @piefedadmin

It's lightweight and written to make it easier for developers to contribute. (For any devs reading this, it's written in Python.)

@FediTips @piefedadmin @Mrfunkedude Such a thing as this developer introduction video is just amazing.
