@tomatol If Nomadic identities get implemented then yes, I’ve heard there were somepeople working towards it but haven’t heard much since.

Still, not sure I’d be to comfortable using a Fediverse server (especially one not hosted by me) for my identity. I’ve already lost an account to a SQL database dying, and some swaths of the fediverae are rather quick to ban or defederate.

Nostr and AT do it pretty well, though, using a key pair you control to sign into other services using your account. If something were attempted on the Fediverse this would probably be the best way to go about it.

@Lemminary Not sure where I initially heard it, but I think I just came across it randomly in a comment or blog. I’m sure somewhere is some docs there’s the info though. Tested it a while back though and confirmed it works.

@ekZepp They’re sorta bridged in the sense that if you @ a lemmy community from other ActivityPub software it’ll post to the community. It’s the same protocol, though a different enough implementation that it acts a lot like a bridge. The first line acts as the title, then the rest of the post is the body.

@crimeschneck Personally I’ve decreased my Lemmy usage a lot due to its echo chambery-ness. I avoided the political subs since day one, both since I’m personally not a big politics junkie and because I’m not in alignment with Lemmy’s specific brand of politics, but things also extend to other topics as well.

A lot of the enjoyment of using Lemmy is getting news/articles and seeing what people think, but even in the tech spaces the range of tech news is somewhat limited and the top comments are almost always in line with Lemmy’s specific tech thoughts (regardless of my agreement, I’d like to see interesting thoughts/commentary, if I can predict the theme of what’s said it becomes less interesting). Sorting by new did help a little, even if a dissenting but well thought out idea was downvoted to oblivion I could still read it - but the value of link aggregators to me is articles + strangers thoughts, and if all the strangers have the same thoughts then I might as well stick with RSS.

My 2c anyways.
