• The Fediverse did, in fact, not start with Mastodon.
  There was something in the Fediverse before Mastodon: Mistpark was there almost 6 years before Mastodon, Hubzilla was there 10 months before Mastodon.
  Mastodon came into an already existing Fediverse with servers and users and content and a culture.
  The Fediverse has never been only Mastodon. And it will never be.
• The Fediverse had quote-posts almost 6 years before Mastodon.
  (Accurate implication: The non-Mastodon Fediverse can quote-post any public Mastodon toot with no problems, and it has always been able to do so, for as long as Mastodon has been around.)
• The Fediverse had groups almost 6 years before Mastodon which still doesn't even support groups.
• The Fediverse had better lists than Mastodon lists almost 6 years before Mastodon.
• The Fediverse had reply control almost 6 years before Mastodon where people are still waiting for some kind of reply control.
• The Fediverse had permissions almost 6 years before Mastodon where the concept of permissions is completely unknown.

• The Fediverse had no character limit to worry about almost 6 years before Mastodon came along with only 500 characters.
  The Fediverse had 16,777,215 characters almost 6 years before Mastodon had 500 characters.
• The Fediverse had full rich-text formatting almost 6 years before Mastodon.
  The Fediverse could generate bold type, italics, underline, code blocks, bullet-point lists etc. without any Unicode trickery. Almost 6 years before Mastodon was there. And more than 12 years before Mastodon could even only display that stuff.

@hello Team #FediGroups, can you give me any information about the software used under the hood, and whether source code is published?

#fediverse #FediverseGroups #FediDevs

Tagging @hello for a question:

I got a request to spell out ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome) in the group description. (image shows current description)

I don't know who to contact in order to request a change to the description.

Can you tell me who owns the mecfs group? If not, can you pass on this request?

Thanks!

PS. I realize ME/CFS is easily searchable online but it wouldn't hurt to update the group description.

#Wechseljahre #Info #Gruppeneinrichtung #Fedigroups #Diskussionsgruppe

Moin ihr Lieben 😊🤗

Gestern hat sich nach langem Warten ein Admin der FediGroups zu meiner Nachfrage zur Gruppeneinrichtung gemeldet!
Einige von den Interessierten zu dem Hashtag wollten eine Gruppe zum besseren Austausch.

Die Gruppe ist nun endlich online!
Unter @wechseljahre findet ihr die Account-Seite. Folgt der Seite, um Boosts zu dem Thema mitzubekommen. Für einen Post an die Gruppe erwähnt die Gruppe mit dem Profilnamen wie oben in eurem Beitrag, dann wird der Beitrag an alle Gruppenmitglieder geteilt.
Ich hatte bei der Einrichtung ausserdem die Wahl, ob ich Follower für die Gruppe manuell freischalten will. Ich habe das wegen der aktuellen Spam-Welle nun so eingerichtet, dass ich jeden Follower manuell freigeben muss, werde mir also die Profile hinter der Followanfrage ansehen. Das gibt ein wenig Schutz vor ungewollten Bots und Trollen.

Ich hoffe, die Gruppe wird gut genutzt, habt viel Freude beim Austausch zum Thema! 🤗😊🧡
