Ooh sorry, I thinking like Misskey. In the English translation, they use note and renote to replace tweet and re-tweet from Twitter era

rename boosting to re-tootin

I would say reserve re-tootin for when quote post lands on mastodon

Stop fucking tagging literally anyone who was ever involved in a thread

OMG yes. It is so annoying it is like someone keep hitting reply all in an email. And it is not just mastodon, *key does this too.

Someone on mastodon told me, if you haven’t found someone on fedi, you are probably not looking hard enough. But no, I don’t think they are on fedi

check this out: https://piefed.social/post/489178 This doesn’t answer your question completely, but you get an idea of what is possible

I feel like there should be a dedicated fedihelp community for stuff like this. Also, if you have any microblog account (like mastodon), try asking for help with hashtags like #fedihelp or mentioning the account @FediTips@social.growyourown.services if you don’t get any answer here.

I see that I forgot to add a question mark and incurred the wrath of some very opinionated lemmy users.

We consider bluesky as part of fediverse?

I swear I have seen this “free speech instance” nonsense at least 3 or 4 times before this in the last month. All with similar combination of words. This is probably a same troll.

George Takei is active of mastodon. There are many journalists and scientists. Tons of developers. A few small celebs. Also, many people I don’t want to be here are not here. That’s a plus for me.

set up a monthly contribution even if it’s just $2/month

I remember somewhere on the fedi, some instance admin saying that on average it cost $2/month per user. So, if you are relatively active on the server, $2 monthly recurring donation might cover your share of expenses. maybe not a very good idea

how I can make a difference

All fedi network = Mastodon, Threads, BlueSky, Nostr
Because, lemmy, misskey, pixelfed, mbin, friendica etc are not part of fedi network

Yes, that is correct. Although, calling it a flaw was a bit wrong on my part. It us by design. Paraphrasing someone on the internet: activitypub federation is pull rather than push. The downside of this is, some info will never reach you. The upside is: self hosting activitypub software is possible even with limited resources.

1. Don’t know

2. That is a flaw in activitypub. The federation makes it look like you are the only one following that account because that’s the only information your home instance can gather from the network. As they post new stuff you will see them. Give it some time for your server to federate with their server and you will probably see more details like their profile picture

3. That sound like a bug in the app

What they are doing is essentially promotion. So that, or something along the line is more appropriate.

The thing that I hate about the bridge is that, I need to separately bridge my account with bluesky to interact with a bluesky account bridged to fediverse.

I don’t know if you know about it, but there’s this new community !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net They got some nice discussion about how to on-board more people on here.

With so many examples like twitter, reddit, Factbook, whatsapp, instagram etc. can you really blame us for not liking centralized services? Also, I don’t hate all centralized services. I love Wikipedia, Openstreetmap.org etc. Also, the outage of OSM earlier proves that single point of failure is a reason for concern.

Yes
