They will join us once the long promised groups implementation is finally merged in Pixelfed.

That’s just Al-Andalus being part of Africa 😅

Well in that case northern Africa is part of Europe then… I somehow doubt that will be popular with many people insisting on Europe being a separate continent.

Sup is a bad idea and I am not really convinced about Loops in its current form either, but the Pixelfed dev has done a lot of good work otherwise on various Fediverse projects so I think this Kickstarter deserves support.

Meanwhile in Germany: lets put all the health data in a cloud with already known security vulnerabilities, yolo!!!

Well, obviously there is no direct drop-in replacement when you keep tolerating and paying billions to a monopoly 🙄

And as long as their committment to open-source and European providers is limited to pocket change and stupid blockchain or AI initiatives this will obviously not change.

“That what I am used to with years of muscle memory and anything that is different is bad UX” usually…

0.20 is 3-6 months out according to Nutomic.

Except lemmy.world is not (last time the topic came up, but I haven’t checked since).

Funnily enough it seems like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are also censored in China via their great firewall.

Edit: lemmy.ml is still blocked, but lemmygrad apparently not.

You could try it with KaraDAV. Much simpler and works fine with the Nextcloud apps.

Well, the Pixelfed dev is apparently being pestered by VC funders right now.

If there were a good invite system you could have just shared that including a pre-selected instance for your friend. That’s way more effective than trying to explain federation to people not really that interested in the first place.

Most non-Mastodon “microblogging” software handles longer messages just fine. My Akkoma instance for example defaults to 5000 letters and there isn’t really a limit interface wise.

Maybe you should get checked for a stroke you had before already if you can’t parse regular English sentences 😏

Doesn’t seem to be what they are asking for, but I am also a bit confused about what exactly they are asking for.

No they are not end to end encrypted, but you can restrict access to subscribers only and if you self-host it, e2ee isn’t really needed.

For end to end encrypted photo sharing there are these two open source projects that also offer a for pay cloud storage:

• https://ente.io/
• https://stingle.org/

The only Fediverse project that offers optional e2ee messages is Hubzilla afaik.

It wasn’t me who used a cringe party metaphor first 🤷‍♂️

Make sure you use a MariaDB or MySQL database. Despite what the (very incomplete) docu says, Postgres support is broken.
