But you can’t view Mastodon posts from Lemmy.

Only Lemmy. I could never find anything interesting on Mastodon and hate the Twitter-based format.

Found the radical feminist

The typo makes this really confusing.

This is such obvious AI slop that nobody is going to read it.

If you prefer to browse Instagram-like, you still get to see Twitter-like post, and you friends can see your photos from a Twitter-like interface. Or you can have a Twitter-like interface and interact with Reddit-like posts on Lemmy.

Except if you try to display Mastodon posts on any significantly different platform, Mastodon users will lose their shit and harass you until you shut it down.

Unfortunately ActivityPub does not work with static websites.

Or just don’t follow anyone there? Nobody is forcing you to read posts on any federated instance. I am shocked by the kind of egocentrism that leads you to think that if you don’t like people on a given instance, you should prevent everyone else on your instance from interacting with them.

An anarchist instance having strict rules is quite ironic.

Why not just have shared block lists that anyone can apply at their will?

You can avoid seeing posts from lemmynsfw by just… not subscribing to any communities on lemmynsfw.

I don’t like racism, but that doesn’t mean I want to forbid racist people from expressing their views.

Ah yes, the “federated” platform where most people don’t want their posts to be visible to anyone outside the platform.

Use it and love it, sure. But benefit from it?

I’m not talking about blocking, but about being unable to see all replies to a post unless you open it on its home instance, which happens all the time on Mastodon.

And you know how, when you subscribe to a mailing list, you will only receive new mail sent to the list if your server happens to “federate” with the sender’s server?

Oh wait, that’s not how e-mail works.

Sure, use it if you like it, but stop pretending that it’s some kind of forgotten treasure.

What are you smoking? C was the first language I learned – because that’s what a course was available for – and I hate it to this day. It’s a messy and incoherent language full of footguns and unnecessary complexity. I’m glad that there are so many efforts to replace it, but somehow there are still many people who think that features like header files, undefined integer sizes or text-based metaprogramming are the best thing since sliced bread.

Who would’ve guessed that a tree is the best way to visualize something that can be arbitrarily nested?

I’m sorry, the platform that allows you to use a custom domain as your identity has “no account portability”, as opposed to the one where you have to manually copy over almost everything?
