small correction: the post that displays the instance you’re on (https://void.rehab/notes/9umvfd1lgoulvm0j) won’t work with “'regular” iceshrimp. it depends on an extra patch added to the version on void.rehab to function.

this is what happens when lemmy tries to handle microblog content not specifically tailored to it’s exact quirks

After seeing a team of fedi software developers drop their Matrix bridge to their Discord after the total lack of moderation tooling resulted in an extremely transphobic spam wave, I for one am not surprised.

Another team I’m aware of also dropped Matrix for other reasons, but went for Zulip instead, which is also open, but more collaboration oriented a la Slack rather than community oriented like Discord, which probably would not fit what the group in the OP is looking for.

people in real: hey how’s it going

Lemmy’s cross posts are separate posts that just happen to link to the same thing. so only replies to the original post would be sent with the current design.

that said, i severely doubt Lemmy will gain anything from this. publishers will not be sending out their posts to any communities, and i highly doubt they will expose any fep-1b12 group actors you can subscribe as a community.

kbin/mbin with it’s ability to follow users may work better, assuming people test their federation with software other than mastodon, and accept any of the interoperability bugs as actual bugs instead of ignoring them. (lemmy itself is no stranger to this: the fact that users and communities can share the same username break quite a bit)

i dont think i have the ai on my google yet + the pic works better if its obviously faked

wdw and it’s circle is hands down the best fedi has to offer. miss me with that mastodon.social shit

at least you can use mastodon in the meantime

this is how it starts. first you open one for your cat as a joke and next thing you know you’re going meow meow :3 nyaaa~~ at people online and suddenly social media starts makign sense

and nyaizes your text so all your "na"s end up "nya"s. western forks like firefish/iceshrimp/sharkey have that separate from the cat ears toggle but honestly why would you disable that?

misskey cat mode my beloved <3

Look into opening an account on an Iceshrimp instance like https://fedia.social, or an Akkoma instance like http://pleroma.envs.net. Their APIs are an extension on top of the Mastodon APIs (and both support Markdown and should expose them to apps). Sharkey also has some Mastodon API compatibility but it’s quite broken and might require some odd workarounds to get stuff working.

That said, for rich text, parsing the HTML will be more than enough for nearly all cases.

epic megapost

nah, there are plenty of truth wannabes (freeze peach bigotry safe havens) that actively federate. just look at literally any competent server’s blocked instances list and you’ll see a few examples. there’s a reason why nobody* runs completely open federation

*: aside from people who’re friendly with that crowd ofc

(vanilla) mastodon does not have markdown, and content from other instances (marked up or not) get transmitted as HTML over the wire (and the mastodon API serves sanitized HTML to apps).

mastodon forks like glitch, and clones of the mastodon API like those on pleroma/akkoma and iceshrimp do serve the markdown source AFAIK, but unless OP’s looking to… idk, support MFM (which, on a non-web app would be difficult) I don’t really see the point in that.

OP edited them out after posting for whatever reason

i cant help but not to when the entire internet has nothing but amerlcan politics

yup: https://akko.erincandescent.net/objects/478dec04-ea38-44b4-8b85-2336306f8fd5

the domain was set to expire in April and was intentionally not being renewed because gestures vaguely at everything

people knew this was coming at some point. the surprising part was that it happened now from the orders of the registry as opposed to in April.

announcements were made and the instance was already in it’s death bed for a while, this isn’t like the fmhy/mali situation with things happening out of the blue.
