Fediverse
A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
- What is the fediverse?
- Fediverse Platforms
- How to run your own community
On-brand implies this is typical of them and has been done by them in the past. What do you even mean by saying this is on-brand?
I'll bite.
It's like the early internet, you have to move around and eventually you'll find what you are looking for. Follow that link! Search engines were useful for that back in the day.
I bet we'll have similar services even if we do not have them just yet.
@osma if kbin doesn't have a group you're looking for, then make it on kbin. maybe it's just my newbie kbinaut perspective but kbin groups come first, federation second.
oh no, so being federated with mastodon means we have to suffer getting those kinds of hot takes on our timeline?
Me (who searched for the majority of communities I'm currently subscribed to): We don't have what now?
People are so impatient! We’re at the start of a potential paradigm shift; these things take time and need time to develop.
Everyone’s so desperate for federated services to be drop in replacements. Let them be different, let them be better
As if Reddit search ever worked.
I'm not sure why Mastodon posts always end up looking so bad on Lemmy. The title is always gored and the post always has hashtags that do nothing in Lemmy. Just because they're technically cross compatible doesn't mean they should be.
Mostly because the people writing them don't understand how their post will be parsed, and the post lives simultaneously on Lemmy / Kbin and Mastodon.
Lemmy just takes the first paragraph from the post as the title. So if the poster knows that, they can format it like:
Title title title
Body of post
Lemmy has keyword based search lol
Open the menu, select Communities, set the filter to All, then type in words that you like.
I wonder if the reason they thought there was no search because they're posting from Mastodon 🤷♀️
