It’s happening.
I still have a lot of love for Mozilla, maybe since I’ve started using… Mozilla and even some of the recent step did not stop that. But it would seem doing something like integrating Fediverse elements into the browser would be a bigger step forward, than launching a instance. Still good, but does not push this concept as far as Mozilla has the potential to. Unless that’s an element of some bigger plan I’ve missed?

Actually, yes! In a Verge interview, Mitchell baker said, “The first step is to actually be an active participant in that world and do some learning.” Link. I’m hopeful that this is the first step toward making ActivityPub a part of the browser, which would go a long way toward elevating it to a staple of the modern web. (As a side note, I’d love it if they extended that sort of idea to RSS as well)
Knew about it but first time I bothered to read it and there is a bit more than just that, but hard to tell if there’s any strong commitment. Have to wait and see I guess.
Vivaldi used their Web Panels feature to promote their instance, and Mastodon has a decent vertical UI so it made it easy for them to add it through that it seems.
I think this is only a small part of their fediverse experiments
There’s a lot that a browser could help with here, or even better apps and tools to make things easier
I feel like having your own instance is a solid first step before adding any kind of integration so they have a controlled feed of content to work with.
i got a vision of the aim buddy list popping up in my netscape while reading your comment.
do i want seamonkey back? yes. absolutely. how can we get seamonkey back?
It’s just another instance
… with a badass domain, new username availability, and multiple services available through the SSO.
I was thinking hopefully this one won’t be extremely political but my hopes died when I noticed the name of Op.
Is it federated with other mastodon instances?
yes
Anyone got an invitation code they feel like sharing with me?
invite codes aren’t implemented yet (i just checked) but i got in through the waitlist. try that?
Okay cool.
The site looks dope NGL.
thank you for not lying to us, we all appreciate it.
🥲
The frontend is basically Elk which I’m trying on my microblog/Mastodon account. It’s really nice.
Absolutely.
Do these frontends replace all aspects of the main site? Like, do they connect to and replace every single functionality a site might offer?
Is it a mastodon fork? Doesn’t look like standard mastodon but they don’t mention anything
I’ve been on it for a few months now. It’s basically just Mastodon with the Elk skin, but using Mozilla Accounts for authentication. I think there are a couple more bells and whistles added as well. But overall, I think it’s just a starting point from which they’ll develop something more custom.
oh very interesting point. since masto is agpl3 they must be contributing the code back somewhere…
im happy with toot.io
Looks like I just got one too, might try moving my ohai.social profile to it, though I don't use it much anymore now that microblog support improved on kbin

Jeez, calm it down Mozilla. It’s a new social network, not a weekend at Mar-a-lago
