Which software?
- Comment on Federated 3d printing design hub like Thingiverse? 3 days ago:
There are always needs for self-hosting for everything.
I can see some education institution set up their 3D model instance, and make it federated with other entities.
The problem is content discovery, right? As I said before, people are working to fix that right now.
Social web is basically similar to early internet, where discovering new things is hard.
- Comment on Federated 3d printing design hub like Thingiverse? 4 days ago:
Fediverse itself is still “early phase”
There are plenty of proposal of features social web community, handled W3C organization, such as easier way to find content (if the instance want it to be public.)
There’s definitely a value of community being able toset up instance of their own 3D pirinting models.
- Comment on Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse 5 days ago:
Lol, as Javanese, It’s funny that Javanese ethnic name -> Javanese coffee -> Javanese programming language.
People still keep thinking that I was a programmer or making a typo of Japanese everytime I mention I speak Javanese.
- Comment on This graph but with fediverse apps? 1 week ago:
The original image seems related to Westernsphere social media huh
Facebook in my region (Southeast Asia) is still filled with Gen Z, wirh various niche groups that often have more than 100K members. From anime meme to satirical anti-corruption group. Or fried chicken seller group and book barter for your small city.
I was active moderating on one local music group band on FB with 250K members.
I hope I can change Facebook for fediverse, but there’s still no Facebook grouo alternative and actual active community on fodeiverse to make it happen.
- Comment on X (formerly Twitter) has been experiencing international outages for a second time in a week. 1 week ago:
Not every current Twitter users are aware of Elon stuff, huge chunk of them are even never heard who is Elon Musk.
Not everyone are aware of American politics. America is not the center of the world.
- Comment on Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say its their fault tho.
Professional will use software that suitable for their workflow. I’ve seen professionals changing their main software if there was better alternative.
For example, there are wave of professional that are moving from Adobe to Affinity. Illustrator and comic artist are moving from Photoshop to Clip Studio Paint or Procreate. Some video editor will instantly change their software to Davinci Resolve.
Most of the time, they can’t change their software because their client requires file compability, such as Photoshop-native PSD. Sure, other software can open/edit PSD, but they might not fully support all PSD format specification.
That’s why people on open source community focused on open format and open workflow instead. Inkscape use SVG. Krita use ORA. And so on.
- Comment on We are proud to release Gimp 3.0.4 2 weeks ago:
Report it the the dev.
Main GIMP developersare actually nice and responsive. They are also willing to hear more feedback from everyone.
- Comment on [META] MangaDex policy change 2 weeks ago:
A Mangadex alternative that are decentralized via ActivityPub, where groups can host their own instance with P2P image hosting seems cool.
Imagine having your manga updates directly showed on feed (if you want, some group release on Facebook already doing this, mostly oneshot).
- Comment on LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issues 4 weeks ago:
Except a lot of casual users won’t touch any software that looks “outdated” from their perspective.
Tried to convince people to use it, and they move to WPS Office or OnlyOffice instead.
- Comment on The 17th Year Anniversary of the Fediverse network is upon us! 4 weeks ago:
It’s okay to create your own name :) Some people refer the place as social web, some others create original name in their own language.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 4 weeks ago:
Exactly what happened with Indonesian release of Huawei.
Also, more ads everywhere. Even your lock screen.
- Comment on Several phone brands rumored to be planning a major shift away from Android 4 weeks ago:
Some Chinese phone release outside China also began to de-googled as well. At least that’s the case for Huawei in Indonesia.
- Comment on Free open source video editor Kdenlive announces a major release 5 weeks ago:
OpenShot for basic editing Kdenlive for more advance video production
- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 5 weeks ago:
Not everything is under hashtag. Most of artist I follow never put hashtag. Hashtag also not useful in multilanguage situation, where a hashtag can mean different think between communities and languages.
- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 5 weeks ago:
Some people want to make social media account to browse illustration or photography.
Unfortunately, that’s not doable on fediverse. You follow anyone, and suddenly your feed filled with content that you are not interested in. Example: your favourite artist also post a lot of game screenshoot, but you’re not interested in the games. You just want to see the illustration.
- Comment on Do you use other federated software besides Lemmy (e.g. Mastodon/Pixelfed/etc.), if so which? 1 month ago:
Misskey, as most of East Asian and SEA community are on there.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 1 month ago:
You can go on random comment section on internet, and people are starting new “console war” for Steam Deck vs Nintendo Switch.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 2 months ago:
Any social media technically host the same variation of people. It can be good or bad depends of your social circle and what kind of people you follow. Even fediverse has its own bubble of hostile people.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 2 months ago:
Not as comprehensive as Facebook Groups.
Facebook strength is having big community from Asia and Africa. While fediverse is mostly Westerner (and isolated Japanese). Unless people from those continents move here in huge wave, I don’t think Facebook will get replaced.
Mastodon is not valid recommendation for them, as these people doesn’t even use Twitter or even hates them.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 2 months ago:
…and Facebook Groups.
A lot of people simply don’t realize that a lot of traditional community, especially more niche are moving to Facebook. There’s no even Reddit alternative for them.
From fried chicken cooking, big tree photography, McDonalds toys collector, to local history archiver.
It’s harder to convince them here, unless there are Facebook Group alternative for fediverse.
- Comment on Sounds crazy but... maybe you shouldn't delete Facebook just yet 3 months ago:
“General” Facebook user base is not a thing.
Every social media has its own varied bubble on them.
Even Fediverse has its own bubble of malice people.
I still use Facebook because all local community on them (people never heard Reddit or even Lemmy), and people are generally nice to each other. Shares hobby and stuff just like Lemmy and the entire fediverse.
Still, I still regularly on Facebook to recommend people to join local Misskey and Mastodon instance.
- Comment on What are some examples of original fediverse software, not emulating existing platforms? 3 months ago:
If it was soft-fork, than its fine. Almost all previous forks are hard-forking, splitting English community into another one.
A lot of FOSS project from non-English community often having hard time to broaden their community unless English community embrace them first. Helping non-English community also broaden FOSS community diversity and perspective, allowing them to collaborate and do cultural exchange.
- Comment on What are some examples of original fediverse software, not emulating existing platforms? 3 months ago:
Misskey. It’s second most used software in fediverse. Used in misskey.io, which has 10 thousands daily active user (possibly 100K-200K MAU).
Developed since 2014. Originally function as self-hosted microblogging, now turns into unique social media. For example:
- Misskey-flavoured Markdown, example
- social games (only two so far: Reversi and Bubble Game)
- emoji reaction like Discord (they’re the first one to implement it on fediverse)
- Antennas (tracking post with any keyword)
- Pages
- Channels (groups)
- Clips (bookmark with multiple groups, kinda like Facebook bookmarks)
- Achievement
- optional ads banner (just in case the server admin wants to do community ads, usually used for indie games, comics, vtuber, or IRL art event)
Their community is mainly Japanese, they desperately need English contributor and community to help them grow.
- Comment on Tumblr to join fediverse 3 months ago:
What’s wrong?
Tumblr on fediverse by default will increase variation of community in fediverse. Especially, fediverse right now is still mainly filled with American or European related topics.
- Comment on Tumblr to join fediverse 3 months ago:
No support for user post though…
That means nothing to federate.
- Comment on Tumblr to join fediverse 3 months ago:
That article is intended for casual readers. These people might be more familiar with Flipboard than Lemmy or Pixelfed.
The same way that people are familiar with Blackberry or Nokia despite none of them even reach mainstream market anymore.
- Comment on Peertube is part of the fedi. So is it possible for a peer tuber to post a video to a Lemmy or Kbin community? 3 months ago:
Tag
@community name@domain name, I guess?I often see Lemmy main discussion directly posted from Mastodon or Misskey that way.
Notable example is KDE official Mastodon which regularly post on their official Lemmy instance.
- Comment on NeoDB is committed to creating a free, open, and interconnected space for collecting and reviewing books, movies, music, games, and podcasts. 3 months ago:
- LibrRte (codeberg.org/mjh/LibRate), implement ActivityPub. Development in halt.
- Kitsu (github.com/hummingbird-me), specialized for anime and manga database. Not implementing ActivityPub sadly.
- Visual Novel Database (VNDB, vndb.org) has open source their site: code.blicky.net/yorhel/vndb While its system is mainly focused for visual novel (like heavy tagging and character database), it has the most advance release version compared to any other kind of database. Might be useful for making version database of movies, books, or any other media. No decentralization.
- AniList (anilist.co), anime and manga only with heavy social features. Has promise to open source their project. No ActivityPub yet, but has possibility.
