    That’s something (interesting) to unpack but wouldn’t belong here. Anyhow for the sake of my personal benefit I proceed to comment.

    You answered everyting per se. So thanks.

    There is a connection between a lot different Software Platforms on the Fediverse, but not every feature is on every plattform. So you are not able to downvote a Lemmy post from Mastodon.

    Makes sense: Mastodon does not have downvotes, apparently. But:

    You have the option to interact with Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account …

    Is this also valid the other way around? Are there peer-reviewed documents I can inspect to learn how the fediverse can interact between eachanother? I did not look into the protocol since standards wouldn’t address my higher level view I have applied here, I suppose.

    I have never used the Mastodon app, i think a lot 3rd Party apps are better on Mastodon, so i don’t know how it looks, but Mastodon has, or had, a weird form in showing commet trees in my opinion.

    I downloaded the fediverselab app prior but it didn’t allow sorting either. Which is why I made the above assumption.

    The mastodon app appears to be a very good piece of software; Better then the former.

    The app doesn’t allow opening links from any instance but it appears to me that they do not want to provide a wildcard intent (android-API specifica) so that they will be mentioned when tapping any link on ones android device. A thing which has to be implemented at build time and would possibly still leak private instance domains. It looks carefully engineered.

  • Sorry, not a native speaker.

    Today I dipped into mastodon. I thought an app would aid explorability, it didn’t.

    I couldn’t downvote - even after registration - so I made this post. Within lemmy I can disagree with a downvote if I strongly do so.

    So I am serious if such platforms should only be read but engaged with. Because it was the most hostile website/app interaction I encountered since I am on the internet.





  • Underrated comment.

    To put it into user perspective:

    Exception X with error code xxx means Y. Y should be shown via a modal dialog to the user. The state of the application has to be reverted to a valid state as error handling.

    The exception/error gets logged, the user doesn’t receive a exception but the interpretation of the error is shown to him via the UI.
