Refugee from Nerdica, Pluspora and Google+ looking to reconnect

I don't have much luck with social networks, do I? I used to be [email protected], but nerdica seems to be quite thoroughly dead. Database is corrupt, and noth...

Is #Nerdica always kinda slow or is it just because of the instance size?

My #Cohost-account (https://cohost.org/ChaoticHuman) got activated today however I'm not sure yet how much I will use it.

Though my first impression of it is that it's actually more comparable to things like #nerdica, etc. instead of microblogging-services like #Mastodon meaning it's actually better suitable for longer instead of shorter texts.

It however also has useful things Mastodon could also learn from (f.e. markdown- and potentially even html-support but I'm not sure about that one yet).

The irony is (if it can be kept decentralized) the Fediverse could indeed have the potential to become an "everything-app".

Though spread over many different apps (f.e. #Mastodon for microblogging, #Nerdica,... for longer texts, #Peertube for videos, #Pixelfed for photos, etc.) who however share one protocol (#ActivityPub) with one another instead of being centralized in one app.

And with tumblr now also planning to add ActivityPub-support this potential could even grow further.

Mon compte principal est @[email protected]. Je garde celui-ci pour deux raisons :

- explorer la timeline local très sympa de #framapiaf
- garder le contact quand #nerdica est hors ligne

À noter que j'utilise aussi @[email protected]

My main account is @[email protected]. I keep this one for two reasons :

- browsing #framapiaf 's nice local timeline
- to keep in touch when #nerdica is down

Note that I also use @[email protected]

A long overdue #introduction

With all the new people arriving and doing things properly, I realised that I didn't, at least not on the #ActivityPub #Fediverse. I did write an #introducti...

Relatedly, is there a way to access a Mastodon server's local feed without an account? On #Friendica, if you want to access #Nerdica 's local timeline you only have to go to the url nerdica.net/community and a button allows to switch between global and local. Similarly, on #Lemmy, if you go to lemmy.ml you will be able to switch between all and local.

Did #Nerdica.net go away or is it just down today? Not sure if I missed something.

@humanetechThe potential of the #Fediverse is much larger than that, where all kinds of social activity can come together, with many different app-types integrating.Yes, and that is exactly what I think should be the main point when pitching the fediverse. If discribing my #Friendica experience, I'd say
it's like when using #Facebook, but federation means what everyone sees and does is not controlled by a single company in order to maximize its profitSounds a bit like the infraverse speech that you were categorizing as bad. Maybe except for the whole selfhost bit that is definitely not what one will first look into, but that is probably the only acceptable answer to the common "you have to trust someone anyway"
but in this Facebook-like feed I can have updates from #Peertube channels, from #Lemmy communities, and more. Most importantly, I can interact with those contents directly from here.Tbh, this is what got me hooked on the fediverse. As a someone who does not use Twitter, my first #Mastodon experience was very brief (even though it was on the very nice #Framapiaf instance), but I started using it more when I got interested in Peertube interaction.

My (still ongoing) move to #Nerdica is due to features of the Mastodon software (mostly comment size, also share-repost quote-share and downvotes), and that is also one of the main points I think : I can change software without changing my community of followers and followees.

Back to my original point


Just a simple reformulation of what I had in mind with my original question : is it fair to say that your #Peopleverse pitch could equivalently describe #Reddit? Is that a problem?

PS : sorry about repost, clicked wrong place. You can see how ongoing the move is 😀
