  • Wenn Wintermute innerhalb der nächsten Wochen erreichbar ist und kooperiert, würde feddit nur auf einen anderen Server umgezogen werden, wenn nicht,

    Habe ich es richtig verstanden, dass nun diese Option endgültig aufgegeben wurde? Also besteht keine Hoffnung mehr für den Serverumzug + damit den Erhalt von feddit.de?

    (Sorry, wenn ich es überlesen haben sollte. Habe eine zeitlang versucht, es hier und über den feddit.de-Matrix-Raum zu verfolgen, aber da ist es ziemlich unübersichtlich geworden. )

  • "In the end, what firefish/calckey/misskey shows is that the fediverse doesn’t need to merely be either a twitter or instagram or reddit clone … it can be many things often combined in different ways. Many have kinda forgotten (or worse never realised) that that can be the case largely because of how stagnant big social platforms are. "

    This statement by @maegul@maegul@lemmy.ml is a very important sentence for me. It reminds me of a statement that a participant at a Fediverse meeting said: “Maybe the Fediverse shouldn’t be sold as a substitute product like ‘vegan sausage’, but as something in its own right.”

    (transl./ original in german: “Vielleicht sollte man das Fediverse nicht wie ‘vegane Wurst’ als Ersatzprodukt verkaufen, sondern als etwas Eigenständiges.”)

    Thank you for your articles @deadsuperhero@deadsuperhero@lemmy.ml , which show that!


  • Thank you for your answer. I hadn’t realised before that you yourself are the author ;-) So it’s a really good article, I just selectively quoted the aspects that I see differently or have experienced differently.

    I don’t use Firefish that much yet. My main account is in Friendica and I would like to move my Mastodon account to Firefish, but the lack of federation with Lemmy (or other groups like Friendica forums) is still holding me back. However, I have had very good experiences with the Antennas in particular and have also heard of many good experiences with them. I get a lot of content there that is usually appropriate and not covered by subscribing to hashtags. Lemmy accounts/communities cannot yet be followed from Firefish, but I get content from Lemmy via the News Picker. You might have to ask Firefish experts what the problems could be.

    I am perhaps a bit sensitive to the topic of the flagship instance, because it reminded me of all the discussions about Mastodon-social and their onboarding process, which pushed their instance very aggressively, which in my opinion had negative effects for the Fediverse (centralisation) and for the users of this instance (very slow, lack of moderation, spam bots, etc.). When I have heard from Firefish users about performance problems, it was always users of firefish.social (or previously calckey.social), never from other instances. But that is of course a subjective impression.

    On the subject of apps, it was also difficult that the “Mastodon” app pushed itself so to the fore. Many who enter the Fediverse via this app do not even know that 1. there would have been other instances than Mastodon.social 2. that they are in the Fediverse and also communicate with many users who do not use Mastodon 3. that there are many other apps they could use.

    Very often questions like “Help, x and y don’t work, I can’t find that etc.” come up and very often it turns out that it really doesn’t work in this official app (but in all the others). In any case, Firefish doesn’t need an app like this. But of course it would be great if there were an app that really included the Firefish-specific features. In my opinion, an app as an end in itself has no added value when the PWA is much better. I think the Firefish project should therefore prioritise the stable functioning and further development of the existing functions rather than the development of its own app. But I can’t really comment because I don’t really need any apps (for the Fediverse).

    I hope that the proper group / community federation will come soon. In any case, the devs wrote to me once about the question, saying that it is planned.

    very nice article…

    …Just a few small comments:

    • “Firefish is a hot new microblogging platform”: it’s not that “new” at all, #Calckey, which has been around since 2021, has only recently changed its name to Firefish
    • the antennas / news picker had apparently not yet been fully understood by the author: they do not fill retroactively and it is a full-text search that also finds parts of words. Therefore, if it doesn’t fit, search words can be excluded - it works very well for me! If you use it for a little longer instead of just taking a quick look, you can use it to structure your content very well.
    • “Lack of an official app is kind of disappointing”: “official” apps are perhaps important as a “brand” for some, the so-called “Mastodon” app is also the worst app ever for Mastodon (fortunately with many better alternatives). The PWA for Firefish works great on all devices, if you don’t want to miss out on any features and want the best look, you don’t need an app.
    • The biggest hindrance at the moment right now is the flagship instance at firefish.social:" The instance has clearly communicated that it primarily serves as a test instance, i.e. it does not strive for or want to guarantee stability. In contrast to mastodon.social, Firefish itself also makes clearer reference to the selection and there are now really many Firefish instances.

    For me, the biggest disadvantage of Firefish at the moment is that it doesn’t yet federate properly with Lemmy.











  • Um Accounts aus dem Fediverse zu folgen (u.a. Lemmy-Accounts), ist Mastodon ein Option, Du kannst Dir aber auch vorab mal anschauen, ob vielleicht andere Dienste für Dich passender sind. Für mich persönlich passt Mastodon nicht so gut, weil es ziemlich unübersichtllch ist, und die Beiträge ohne Kontext reinkommen, es auch keine richtige Threadansicht gibt usw. Das ist bspw. bei Friendica anders, da werden Threads (auch Lemmy-Threads) sturkurierter dargestellt. Es gibt aber auch noch Misskey, Pleroma, Calckey u.v.m. Hier in der Fediverse-Serie gibt es anschauliche Einblicke in einige davon: https://gnulinux.ch/serie-%E2%80%93-fediverse-dienste-die-idee.

    Du kannst Accounts auch über RSS folgen, die Formate sind jedoch unterschiedlich, für Mastodon-Accounts bspw. “Instanz-URL/@accountname.rss”.



  • “Ich hatte schon einen mastodon Account und lese immer wieder, dass dieser auch für feddit benutz werden kanna aber ich konnte mich damit nicht einloggen. Stimmt das und wie verknüpft man das?”

    Du kannst zwar auch bspw. mit einem Mastodon etwas in einer Lemmy-Community posten bzw. auf Lemmy-Post antworten (wie genau, hatte ich hier mal zusammengeschrieben. Aber wenn Du schon einen Lemmy-Account hast, ist das nicht nötig, weil es wie u.g. ziemlich unübersichtlich wird. Du kannst aber bspw. bestimmte Beiträge von Lemmy mit Deinem Mastodon-Account teilen, wenn Du meinst, es könnte Deine Follower interessieren (und die könnten dann wie oben beschrieben auch in die Diskussion einsteigen). Dazu dann die URL bei Mastodon ins Suchfeld reinkopieren. Wenn es ein Feddit-Beitrag ist, ist das die URL aus der Leiste, bei Beiträgen anderer Lemmy-/kbin-Instanzen ist der Link unter dem Fediverse-Logo “versteckt”.
