Cheers! Looks like a great fediverse platform. So sad that the choice of English-speaking servers seems somewhat limited - for now.

What’s Misskey? Never heard of! Time to check.

Just wanted to applaud the fact that you’ve come here asking people, rather than asking some large language model.

Agree 110%! It’s sad because it pushes back those people who were curious about alternatives and were willing to try. Hopefully things will improve with time…

I’ve tried different clients: Element web, desktop, and android, and FluffyChat desktop and android. The problems seems to come, as other have written, when the matrix.org server is involved: it’s people from their handle there which experience glitches joining rooms in other servers. It seems this “part” of the fediverse still needs a lot of development.

Looks very promising! thank you for sharing. Seems worth trying and supporting.

I didn’t know about !matrix, cheers!!

Thank you for the great help, I hope it’ll be useful to others too :)

Thank you for the info! As I’m completely new to Matrix I was indeed wondering. Probably the spam problem will increase as it becomes more popular…

Thank you! I checked it. From what I understand I should use a link like https://matrix.to/#/@[user]:[server.zzz]. Then from there they are redirected to use their own Matrix app, if they have one.

Not hostile at all, thank you :) Indeed I asked this question because I suspected I was misunderstanding how to use the site. Here’s an example. A comment in this post:

https://lemmy.world/comment/960056

gives a link to a Mastodon post. The link I see is https://mastodon.world/@mwadmin/110654590632768079

If I click that link, I do see the Mastodon post, but it’s on a Mastodon instance different from mine (https://c.im/). If I wanted to boost, favour, or reply, I have to open another tab/window, go to my Mastodon account on my instance, search for that post, and then I can boost etc. Let me know if this is unclear.

Maybe it’s just because I use Mastodon via browser and not a 3rd-party app, as some comments here have suggested.

It has helped me invaluably, thank you!

By the way, the “trigger search” button at the moment leads to a search with text

community!community@instance.etc

but the first community should be dropped. OK this is not the place for tracking issues, sorry!

Had never heard about it, cheers!

Edit: unfortunately it looks like it’s not open-source. I have some trust issues with close-source projects that handle my browsing.

I believe that https://browse.feddit.de/ shows the total number of subscribers, but I’d be happy if someone else confirmed this as well.

Thank you for the recommendation, I’ll try it out. To be honest I second the “don’t move fast if you have to break things” attitude…

Glad to see my question wasn’t so dumb, cheers :)

Cheers, didn’t know about this possibility!

Well the screenshot I took looks really exactly like the original above. So I think browser is giving the most faithful output?

( 😂 )

Works via browser too! Very expensive apples though – they better be really juicy.
