Any personal favourites that are not so linear that you would like to suggest?

I believe thunderbird has support for Gemini but I haven’t tried that out yet, might be wrong.

I think it depends. Not entirely sure though. Now given the context of Lemmy right, you can certainly post to instance C from both A and B. Even if your instance (either A or B) will not fetch messages from each other (due to not federating) you can always go see the messages through instance C (not logged in). That probably works for all defederation scenarios but that is also a very loosely defined interaction as both parties will have to do the same.

A diplomatic answer I know.

Its early still. I guess some patience and effort is needed! The journey is home. :)

It’s the ActivityPub API (client to server) where clients supposed to interface with so that you could have one client, for all fedi. But turns out server implementations (Lemmy, mastodon etc) find it not so well designed or performant or adequate (or idk what else) so instead they implement their own client APIs, effectively making clients being specific to the server rather than interoperable (one client that could understand all servers). It’s reasonable though, it’s just … I thought… that this was already done and established… but well…

That feels it went seriously bad

He seems to be nearby, will post pictures after !

I think that for example the search feature has nothing to do with activity pub but it’s a feature of each of those software that are using activity pub (Lemmy, mastodon etc). I would guess it operates on those internal structures each of those implementations are using.

Don’t like leaving anything to the imagination, right?

I’d take my kids there. Give them markers and crayons. Let them roam…

That’s a very inspiring idea. Thanks for that!

This captures exactly my inner feeling regarding the fact that no fedi servers implement the C2S api … (I just realised)

But really, this is very well done, thanks for sharing

yea my bad, it looks open source :D

Then maybe I got confused sorry. Somebody mentioned it and then the post was saying it’s a service I thought it wasn’t open. Will check it properly later. Shouldn’t have spoke so quickly I guess

However it does not look like it is open source.

Isn’t that a (implementation) detail beyond the point of uselessness though? The big point for me is there. To keep it with the metaphor, that tree is also quite a complex structure, yet still useless.

Could this be of any help ? https://www.firsttimersonly.com/ (I saw this somewhere recently)

Personally I was wondering the same too, so I thought to focus on libraries/projects that I already like or find the codebase exciting in some way. Haven’t done any major contribution though, with the little time I have available. So… i dont know if that is good advice or not, just something that makes sense to me.

However let me just bring into mind that we recently defederated from some Lemmy instances and for which reasons we did that (as beehaw I mean).

Friendica, I believe, federates their groups. You can see them from mastodon as a user. I guess in AP vocabulary they are an actor. You can post to the group from mastodon too.

Unique as in, only one left?
