I’ll believe it when I see it
It really would be so much easier to just boost Mastodon posts into a Lemmy community.
Say, are you saying that it’s possible to take an existing Mastodon post, and post it into Lemmy? If so can you pliz point me to someplace that says how to do that? So far I’ve only seen this guide: https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1467-8270-7e3d-48d984455929 and it only says how to crosspost a new Mastodon post, not an existing Mastodon post.
Right now, you can crosspost to a Friendica group by mentioning the group actor handle (ex:
@fediversenews@venera.social. And because Friendica supports quoted boosts, you can boost to a Friendica group through this method.Lemmy could easily support this feature.
Hopefully whenever mastodon gets quote posts we’ll see something similar pop up over here.
You don’t need to wait on Mastodon to do it.
Obviously, I’m not talking about you specifically – Threadiverse devs generally.
For example, some of this functionality already exists on Friendica.
that’s crazy talk, next you’ll be telling us we should be able to actually block people from seeing and interacting with our posts
Why did you link to a Mastodon post and not the actual article?
The article seems well-written, except that:
the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.
Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we’re like “and others” lel… I guess they didn’t mention Pixelfed either tho and it’s a lot “hotter”…
I’m sure I’ve read this headline before and nothing came of it then.
Neocities is Tumblr if it were worth anyone’s time.
Can anyone eli5?
Will it federate with AP platforms?
God I hope my instance defederates with them.
Why? Tumblr is terrible, but in a good way.
Tumblr is terrible
Stay terrible fam.
Instead of hoping your instance does something, just make your own instance. That’s the whole idea.
You could just block them yourself if you don’t like leftist spaces that much
Tumblr doesn’t really strike me as leftist, so much as having a low signal:noise ratio
In the early-to-mid 2010s Tumblr was mainly associated with “social justice” types of people, it seems to have become a lot less relevant at some point in the late 2010s.
That would be when they banned porn in 2018.
probably, I remember something along those lines
All of you who were making a fuss over Threads had better act the same way about this - after all, it’s Verizon.
No, Verizon does not own Tumblr. Verizon sold Tumblr to Automattic, the owner of WordPress.com, in August 2019
I don’t understand the logic. Verizon buys tumblr, knowing it has porn, knowing porn is what makes it popular.
Kills porn.
Kills the valuation of the brand
Sells for far less than they bought it for.
Explain please.
It’s the porn paridox. Porn gets users. Advertisers pay per user… but won’t pay anything if there’s porn. Users without advertisers or subscription costs are worthless.
They gambled that the additional ad revenue they’d be able to bring in with a sanitized web site would be greater than the revenue lost from some of their userbase leaving the site. It was a bad gamble.
Skill issue
Wait wasn’t it yahoo that initially killed the porn?
This all sounds like the Tenacious D song about trying to kill Rock & Roll
The porn will strike you down with a vicious blow!
Good ‘ol Cunnigham’s Law
Oh. So it depends on your position on WPEngine instead.
depends on whether matt mullenweg knows you exist
also i’ve only just realized why he named the company auto-matt-ic oh my god
Verizon sold Tumblr to WordPress in 2019
tumblr is life
Please no
Heaven forbid an open protocol see adoption.
