A post to traverse the Fediverse & beyond 

Third time's a charm: This post can be seen with #Mastodon, #Bluesky, #Sharkey, #Mbin, #Lemmy, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Hometown, #Akkoma & more.

Favs from #lemmy and #mbin aren't shown here on #Mastodon, right? And I think, it's not customary to boost or share in this RedditAlternatives. That's seems to be, why I still not see much from the activity happening over there. 😕

@mho @fediverse they usually *do* show up as likes on my posts when i tag a lemmy community. It's kind of interesting since it deanonymizes upvotes 😅

This post here for example has upvotes/likes from lemm.ee and programming.dev users:
https://mastodon.social/@Berin/112958975936924665

@Berin @mho @fediverse I see just 3 boosts, none from Lemmy?
@aturff @fediverse there are no boosts on lemmy, just up- and downvotes. Upvotes are federated as likes, and my linked post has likes from lemmy users :D

@Berin @fediverse

What are likes in masterdon? I thought it just used replies, boosts and favourites? (Don't use it much)

This is how your linked post displays to me:

@aturff @fediverse I used "like" in lieu of "favorite" 😅 Here's how it shows up for me:
@Berin @fediverse so the Lemmy federation works, but not the integration between two masterdon instances 😆

@aturff @Berin

No interaction from #Lemmy appears here in Mastodon.

@fediverse

@mho @fediverse I do see 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒 of the received favs/likes from lemmy users. Like here I was notified of one 'fav' on my reply but on original page I see I have two 'likes'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

https://mastodon.social/@[email protected]u/112788964062102665

I don’t think there is an equivalent of Boosting or Sharing on here. Those functions don’t really match the format of these platforms, since content is promoted in feeds/communities with the upvotes (favourites) and posts are placed in communities rather than user profiles

Here are some screenshots to show, how different the post looks in the #Fediverse

Anybody want to add some more?

@mho Love this, visualizes what the Fediverse is about well.
@Martin Holland I'd post a screenshot from Hubzilla. But for one, writing an adequate image description for it is too much of a hassle for me right now. And besides, it would include an eye contact trigger, and Hubzilla has no way of making Mastodon blank sensitive images out.

@mho Your post viewed from discuss.tchncs.de (Lemmy) on the Voyager Android App.

Btw. Your comment with the screenshots didn't federate to the comment section of the Lemmy thread.

Even at the third attempt, it's almost only #Mastodon, from where I see shares. But that again just underscores the dominance of Mastodon. (To be clear, there are others, but I don't see them here)

I think, that's it for me with trying to get a post get a substancial amount of interactions from the rest of the #Fediverse. But that still were some fun little experiments showing the diversity of the software connected in the Fediverse.
Thanks everyone for participating!

@fediverse

Lemmy overtakes Mastodon!

(at least, when I treat Upvotes as Faves and count them directly in #Lemmy, as opposed to via the API from #Mastodon) Quite a lot of ifs, I know. But at least I found an aspect of the interactions with this post, that is not totally dominated by #Mastodon. 😅

@mho
We have to do a better job at supporting non mastodon projects and advertising them
Still not showing anything from Lemmy right? I guess upvotes don’t convert to boosts? I tried favouriting the post, does that make it show?
Hello from Lemmy.
It’s about time heise.de stops publishing on elon musk’s platform.
@vovo
I'll gladly pass that on, as it's not my call.

Does the :word: format have any special meaning in Mastodon?

I develop a frontend for Lemmy and have added support for #Hashtags and such, but I’m not familiar with :this: style. Just curious if that has some special function that would be worth supporting in Lemmy.

@ptz
It's for a custom emoji.
Ah, thanks. Lol, I just loaded your post on your home instance and realized that.
Does BlueSky now have ActivityPub support?
The Fediverse is growing: After Threads, Bluesky can also be linked to Mastodon

First Threads accounts can be opened for Mastodon, now this is also possible - even in both directions - with Bluesky. This makes interesting scenarios possible.

Ok, so it works, but it more or less hacked tohether and not officially supported. BlueSky still wants to have its walled garfen.
Strictly speaking it’s not a walled garden for not being compatible with activitypub, it’s just a different protocol. The infrastructure is open source, but some critical parts (the relay) are still run only by bsky pbc with no clear way to switch to a competitor.

Seems a bit strange in terms of ownership, no?

It’s like a milder form of how git is open source but GitHub is a centralized service. And all the nice non-git social features such as stars and issues and discussions are proprietary.

In bsky’s case the extra stuff is (mostly) open source too but it’d still be very expensive to build a full featured alternative so 95% of people just default to GitHub.

I was wondering the same thing. How does it belong to the fediverse?
Do you have a link to more info on how this works? Also hello :)
@otter
What exaclty?
How this specific post go through all the Fediverse?

@[email protected] For most parts of the #Fediverse you don't need to do something special. But it helps, i f you don't include special stuff like polls. In addition, this account is bridged via #BridgyFed to #Bluesky, where one can interact with it, too. I plan to analyse from which software #Mastodon sees the boosts, but it seems like that will look like: https://social.heise.de/@mho/112830645649445305

Info on how you are sharing to the wider Fediverse and beyond, out of curiosity :)

I’m familiar with sharing from Mastodon to Lemmy, but I don’t know much about how to target platforms outside of that.

This post can reach not only #Mastodon & the #Fediverse, but beyond like #Bluesky. How far can it go? I have built a tool to aggregate, with what software and from which instance it is boosted (or faved). Please share far, to show where you're seeing this. #SocialMedia #Sharkey #Akkoma #Firefish

Hello from feddit.org, the largest german-speaking lemmy instance
@cron
What happened to feddit.de?
The main admin and owner disappeared and the server was running poorly. As it became more and more clear that the situation will likely not improve, we created a new instance, run by the fediverse.foundation and asked everyone to subscribe to the new communities. Three weeks ago, the domain feddit.de went offline.

@mho @cron mod disappeared, rest of them formed more stable instance (it doesn't stand on one guy).
Had to manually search for it, but this post reached NeoDB too!

Seen from the Brazilian Lemmy. Pretty cool.

Also: Fuck Bluesky, capitalist proprietary garbage.

It’s not proprietary, the vast majority of their code is open source

@Jupiter Rowland @Martin Holland Great, my (streams) channels didn't receive my repeat...

And I'm not going to cheat, import it manually and pretend they did receive it.

Maybe if I reconnect them...

@mho @fediverse I see it on both mastodon and lemmy 👍

Looks good on #Pixelfed Web! But terrible in the Pixelfed Android App.

@[email protected] Hi from Mastodon via Elk! 
@mho Threads not compatible till now?
@porrporr
No, not really. The rest of the world can post from Threads to the Fediverse, but here in europe, we can't even do that yet.
