Awesome, logging out (switching to ‘guest’) made everything show up from my home instance.
I am/was able to see the comment from originalucifer, however, from before I logged out.
I am able to see posts from ‘Midnight’ on the ‘collapse…’ community when logged in.
No, I didn’t get any notification from your original ping attempt.
Yes that one
Yes it is. That’s interesting, it’s still not showing up on my profile for me.
Also checked on Voyager, nothing.
Why exclude Pixelfed though?
Welcome, by the way! 😁
You’d only be able to make calls if you have a wifi connection though, right?
You didn’t give any cons
Wow, that is one punchable face right there!!!
I forgot, thank you!
done, let me know what you think!
Yes, any suggestions?
Could be, but I kind of feel like the protocol might be close enough and that it just needs the right implementation. I think Kbin almost had it, but just needed more refinement.
I’m definitely excited for bonfire though, seem like it’s got tons of potential!
Both of those reasons are valid. I think a lot of people are noticing general difficulties and lack of seamless interoperability between the platform types, which definitely makes it hard to choose where is the most opportune place to be on. If there is a platform that does it better, I bet people will start to notice.
I think a new #platform needs to emerge from this
I’m just going to copy a comment, because it looks like the crosspost didn’t update the edit from the original post…
Copied comment:
buyitforlife is a fantastic community, but I’m not sure it fits what I’m talking about because it’s kind of specific to exclusive products that are meant to last. I’m imagining something that’s covers a more broad range of products. Stipulations might include things like:
-reviews
-design speculation
-improvements
-collaboration
-development
-creation
-also, no sponsored/commercialized products!
(development and creation are super ambitious, but I’d like to include them just because)
I’m very analytical about product design, especially when it comes to electronics and technology, and I like to imagine ways that things could work better or be designed better. I just think it would be cool to have a place to discuss things like that. I also feel like it can be difficult to trust reviews that come from one source, so having a federated collection to start building might be a really useful resource
That’s kind of why I think there would need to be certain rules like ‘no sponsored content’
I’d like it to be for products that people like, but maybe just need some help being improved (or just having fun speculating about how it could be better maybe).
I’m thinking generally about electronics, because I like tech stuff, but I don’t see a reason to limit it to just that category. The idea of a federated review system is kind of what I’m getting at, with the posibility of encompassing things like design, collaboration, speculation for ways to improve, (repairability would be a great thing to cover as well, but I’m not extrememly savvy when it comes to repair!)
I think that a federated library of product reviews/discussions could be a great resource.
The language settings are set to auto.
I’m using the Photon frontend if it helps.
