Bad luck for Ecospheres community

Neither FediDB nor FediIndex provide filtering or searching instances by language :/

I am seeing your comment from the future??

2/3 of polled Mastodon & co. users use no link aggregator, neither Threadiverse not siloed ones.

Maybe microblogging is good enough for them?

It’s lemmy.world, which banned the piracy community

Rebased has integrated full support of Mobilizon events

AFAIK Rebased does not interoperate with Threadiverse better than upstream Pleroma. They mainly added support of events with full interoperability with Mobilizon.

This said, most that Feediverse ;) (microblogging) apps have achieved with Threadiverse is ability to follow comms from here and post to them.

You may be interested in Catodon (although it contains vibed code)

• lemmy.wtf provides peertube.wtf and piefed.dk too.
• lemmy.world is hosted by https://fedihosting.foundation/ , together with other .world instances and several stux’ fediverse instances, like mstdn.social and gram.social
• https://dotzip.ltd/
• https://fedecan.ca/
• infosec.exchange has got many sister services, listed here
• https://devol.it/ hosts largest Italian fediverse instances
• https://fediverse.neat.pub/
• Framasoft made Mobilizon (and hosta its main French instance), makes PeerTube and hosta e.g. Framapiaf (a Mastodon instance) and more
• many such providers in France are members of CHATONS
• from Poland, there is wspanialy.eu, with Mastodon, FreshRSS, and recently also Matrix and WriteFreely

this obviously is not exhaustive

For interaction with different platforma it’s probably called interoperability. For its current state:

• Much of other platforma interoperate with Mastodon, but only at Mastodon’s lowest common denominator of “tweets” and links with lead. Lemmy communities are treated like “bots” reblogging anything posted to it,
• Almost any of not-vanilla-Mastodon allow Markdown formatting and Mastodon will show it normally. The same with posts over default 500 chars limit. You can read posts longer than you are able to write,
• Pixelfed deliberately narrows this denominator only to posts with images. However it allows posts with more than 4 images, but only not-vanilla-Mastodon instances will be able to see all of them. Posts can be geotagged, but AFAIK only Vernissage, Friendica and FediHood are able to swe these,
• Mastodon users can tag a Lemmy community to post to it. However you can not mod a comm from there,
• MBin allows to interact with content both from microblogging like Mastodon and with Lemmy. Lemmy interoperation is full, one with Mastodon lacks e.g. polls. Blog posts from WriteFreely and federated WordPress are shown in full. Unfortunately MBin does not work with Ghost,
• PieFed embraces and extends the format of Lemmy with e.g. flairs and polls. It also includes the best PeerTube compatibility among the Threadiverse (as federated reddit clones may be called). It has recently included events and support of following users from microblogs like Mastodon.

!vgmusic@lemmy.world already exist from music from video games

Nevermind, Noblogs is going down…

Hmm, this is strange. Nodeinfo indeed exists, but FediDB’s NodeInfo Explorer fails to fetch it. Nodeinfo is not excluded by robots.txt either: has Noblogs blocked FediDB and Fediverse.observer’s crawlers by other means?

Limited form of this is already used by PieFed instance chooser. Stability is calculated basing on number of admins with emergency access, non-admins paying enough for hosting and having automated daily backups.

Sites on noblogs.org are made on WordPress and they function like independent instances. They apparently do not expose their Nodeinfo, though.

Flooding “Lemmy” with reposts from Reddit will make “Lemmy” look like a “tardy clone of Reddit with less discussion”. Why stick with a repost platform if you can get the same content but more and earlier with Reddit? New Reddit frontend still remains browsable without login (maybe with some irritation, but anyway).

One has to act differently. To get to the sources first (or, at least before Reddit, at least sometimes). RSS feeds of publications (already worked on in PieFed), microblogging support: compatibility with Mastodon (available on MBin and now on PieFed), already existing bot comms reposting from Hacker News and Lobste.rs (both these sites have no subs and crossposting to a comm may have sense…), reposting e.g. art from Mastodon, Bluesky, cara.app…

PyLova is a fork of PieFed and flairs and tags are their shared feature.

Many of these probably need some custom software features but they should not break compatibility with existing fediverse that much. Here, one can make a platform fully dedicated to sport(s), yet fully compatible with other parts of 'verse.

• Let users set their followed disciplines, teams, and maybe even announce it? Groups for fans of specific side?
• More seamless live-posting during events. Events are already used by e.g. Mobilizon and PieFed and one could from event page come to a prepared live feed (input box already prepopulated with appropriate hashtags as they tend to be predictable, /kbin-style attributing federated posts via tags to these feeds, etc.).
• “Fan’s treasure” or „skarb kibica”, like it’s called in Poland. All must have information on the season’s athletes, teams and pitches/tracks/whatever. Here, it could be done via wiki.
• Leverage of APIs (many of which are free) for showing results, etc.
• Integration with external video platforms. I doubt, that big sport is going to be broadcast via PeerTube or Owncast, but even some high profile events are available on e.g. YouTube. During every year’s 24 heures du Mans, several racing teams set up live streams from their cars for publicity. If users could watch these streams (and switch between them) and comment events on the track via our federated site’s account, this could even work, at least for this kind of event?

Live event posting should be compatible more with microblogging, Lemmy-like discussion works more for periods between or just after the match.

Mastodon excels in updates. If a niche is alive on Mastodon, then you will get news from it before Lemmy. Especially in infosec, or (if you are from Europe, especially from Germany or the Netherlands) local news.
In a way, shitposting is also freer on microblogging, without Threadiverse’s pigeonholing into different magazines/communities

The discussion may have worse UX. Only selected alternative frontends (like phanpy.social) have got nested threads like here and until recently, replies were delivered only to replier’s follower instances, resulting with users not seeing all the discussion and inconsistent threads between instances.

Both Holos and Fedihood use LLMs for help with documentation, code review and automated actions, like refactoring or tests

MBin has embraced C4 and has got no single maintainer nor BDfL. It is a fork of /kbin (RIP), whose author (a Pole), Ernest, nobody had a problem with.

Another Polish creation, Prismo, is technically older than /kbin, or even Lemmy, and strikes back! Prismo is more of a Hacker News/Lobste.rs clone than Reddit one (despite less minimalistic looks), and got rid of magazines/communities, preferring to maintain smaller, topical instances, with hashtags being main tool to filter posts by topic. Prismo’s federation is under work: it works mainly with Mastodon (and maybe other microblogging) and MBin.
