I like to ask a variety of questions, sometimes silly, serious, and/or strange. Never asking in an attempt to pester or “just asking questions” stuff.
I’m generally curious and/or trying to get a sense of people’s views.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•PixelFed has increased the Fediverse's monthly active users by over 40% in the last few weeks, how do we feel?English
13·2 years agoWhat do you mean by user abstraction? First I’ve seen this mentioned, or put this way.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•How do people on ActivityPub instances initially find remote instances' stuff to vary their feeds?English
9·2 years agoI’m asking about before anyone has subscribed to remote instances’ stuff, how do they find the remote instances’ stuff to begin with? Sorry, having trouble finding a clearer way to ask this without getting in the weeds

Fediverse@lemmy.world•For those running Hubzilla, or that have tried it, how is it?English
2·2 years agoThanks for the detailed reply! The potential complexity (depending on how much you want to do with it) is a major part of why I was asking, both in terms of use and administration.
Despite the challenges that poses and absence of mobile apps, it still sounds great, but definitely something to go in with an idea of what you do and don’t want to do with it.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network?English
6·2 years agoAppreciate the example! It’s when handling a DHCP range and the related CIDR notation that I tend to get especially muddled in this area. It certainly doesn’t help that each router’s interface and terminology tends to vary just enough to add uncertainty.
Regardless, the comments here and more focus on this have helped clear some of this up for me.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•How do we get "normies" to adopt the Fediverse?English
2·2 years agoBy automated reporting do you mean something like filters on the backend to flag offensive posts per some custom settings?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Openvibe combines Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr into one social app | TechCrunchEnglish
17·2 years agoThe pre-seed stage startup is backed by angel investors and NYC accelerator Wolf, which Openvibe attended last year.
Openvibe is available as a free app on iOS and Android, but plans to experiment with a desktop version. The app will later introduce a subscription plan to generate revenue.
Have any services like this managed to develop a sustainable business model, especially after taking on investment?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?English
14·2 years agoDoes Bluesky? Have they been running marketing? Much of what I’ve seen/heard of it has been more a result of Twitter imploding and people bringing up alternatives than any concerted marketing pushes.
edited for clarity, realized I’d overlooked Threads mention

What sets IceShrimp apart from the other Misskey forks in your opinion?

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Are there ActivityPub servers that can see others without necessarily connecting to them to better enable connections?English
2·2 years agoThat’s kind of what I was thinking may be the case, but I’m not sure if I’m asking this well enough or if I may be misunderstanding ActivityPub.
It’s not clear to me how, without communication/searching outside of an ActivityPub instance, it would ever find other ActivityPub instances to connect to and communicate with.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?English
1·2 years agoWhen I hosted game servers: Depending on the game, you may have to fix something every few hours. Arma 3 is, by far, the worst. Which really sucks because the games can last really long, and it can be annoying to save and load with the GM tool thing.
Was that a mix of games being more involved and the way their server software was set up, from what you could tell, or…?

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?English
2·2 years agoYeah, to clarify I don’t mean organizing/arranging files as a part of maintenance, moreso handling different installs/configs/updating. Sometimes since more folks come around to ask for help it can appear as if it’s all much more involved to maintain than it may otherwise be (with a mix of the right setups and knowledge to deal with any hiccups).

4·2 years agoThanks! Er…What does C2S in this context mean? I read over some of the details on Vocata (it sounds really cool!), but remain unsure what’s meant by C2S here.

3·2 years agoThanks, it looks cool! It brings to mind some of the terminal-based connections some have made, if I remember right.
