I suspect that they just fail to understand federation 😏

Maybe you can explain a bit better what makes it unique? I always thought it is just another blogging platform?

Not federated (yet?) But there is a FOSS Deviant art alternative: https://github.com/Weasyl/weasyl

Pixelfed also has some community features and should work fine for art sharing.

Hmm, the banana might be a bit much, maybe with plantain banana it would be better? But Pineapple & curry sounds like a good mix 😊

No space after the : 🙃 It normally pops up after the second letter.

There actually is, it is just hidden 🥳

Start typing “:” and some letter and it will pop up.

Needs a version with “What state planners think a city looks like Vs. what it actually looks like” 🤦‍♂️

Uhm, where did you get that picture of me from? 😱

Toyota: hold my beer, I’ll call it bZ4X (sic)!

I wish there was a way to easily transfer accounts between instances (nomadic identity), so that federation could really shine (as it definitely benefits smaller instances), but I am also sometimes annoyed by the low effort drive-by comments that federation enables.

Digging tunnels is expensive 😏

How about on top? ;)

High speed rail is actually incredibly destructive to normal speed rail and the main reason why most countries lost a good railway network and are left with expensive to operate and use high-speed rail on a few main connections.

Yes it is possible to use Hubzilla groups with ActivityPub and vise versa, but I am not sure if they work with Lemmy.

Friendica used to be even closer to Hubzilla, but then the new maintainers rewrote much of the core to become ActivityPub native.

The lemmygrad hivemind circle jerk club is only a notch above that in intelligence though…

Hubzilla is pretty similar to Friendica as the original design is by the same person, and yes it has groups.

Yes it would be possible via the Pubcrawl ActivityPub plugin of Hubzilla. But since AP is not native to Hubzilla it is a bit hit or miss.

I ran a Hubzilla instance for a few years and ultimately came to the conclusion that it works nicely as a personal cloud for friends and family, but is less suitable for an internet community.

More tools like this would be useful: https://instances.social/

Pretty much the Zot protocol, but mainly build-in Nomadic Identity.
