Is anyone else having Friendica/Lemmy federation issues?
!Fediverse !Fediverse (JP) I am subscribed to many #lemmy communities from Friendica. I really love how it works, showing up as Friendica #Forums and basically just being exactly what I want (and one of the reasons why having your #friendica account enabled 👍 & 👎 is important for the upvote/downvote #features). It is WAY better than trying to follow such communities from #mastodon and I personally like the convince of one account and the UI better than Lemmy's native. It feels like it used to work seamlessly, however over the last few months something doesn't seem to work as well. I don't see nearly as many posts in my Network feed anymore, not all of my posts ever seem to actually be shown on the community page I put new posts to when I go there after being surprised, I haven't had any reactions/comments after a time, and a whole lot of comments and reactions to stuff I have posted successfully never show on my side when they do. I'm not sure if it's a recent change to #Friendica or #lemmy that has affected it, or perhaps if it's related to the #RedditMigration and the sheer number of additional users/connections/traffic the various Lemmy instances have than they did a few months ago. I haven't filed an issue because I am not sure where to even start. It could even by my attempts to always cross post, by putting various tags for @ and ! in posts like this, which iirc used to work just fine too, but even I only post to one I'm still seeing extreme delays, and/or lack of federation at all. also, frequently DELTE & RE-DRAFT rather than EDIT, particularly due to having friends on #Diaspora* and #GNUsocial that don't support EDIT, and somehow, I feel like that might have an impact too? #DazedAndConfused #andStatus @AndStatus project @redditmigratoin@kbin.social @Friendica Support

@fu From #GNU_social, I only see a few of your posts in the thread. As you may know, #Diaspora's protocol is different from #OStatus, so the D* posts do not cross over.

But there's more going on. Years ago, when I hosted a #Friendica instance, posts from ~F to OStatus appeared natively. Now they don't. For example, almost never will a mention or reply from ~F to GS appear in the recipient's replies stream. This doesn't only happen on GS, though.

On Pleroma instances, ~F posts (at least from #libranet.de) appear with delays of 2-12 hours or more, sometimes out of context, usually out of order. They also sometimes change the scope when they reply to a scope limited post.

I have a ~Friendica account on libranet.de, but I barely ever use it because _everything_ seems to be broken and it frustrates me every time I try to use it. I should probably close it and check to see whether the issues are local to libranet.de or something common to all Friendica instances.

Why so much concern about if #Fedi is successful? I don't think #sucesful is a thing if you aren't trying to sell goods or services, and under that, I hope its never successful. #Fediverse #meta #mastodon #GnuSocial #Friendica #Kbin

Actually, I think the two #bots were around for part of #GNUsocial after the #bifurcation split the network into #OStatus (mostly GS) and #Pump.io

@simsa04 I do not know of any such service for #GNUsocial. There are a few very old web-based quick installers from the #StatusNet days, but even then they weren't much better than getting a VPS and installing by hand, because as soon as you wanted to change something, you needed to use ssh, the command line, and edit config files.

If you still have contact with Lohan G, the artist from Sri Lanka, he hosted an instance somewhere, maybe he has ideas and warnings that would help. Last I knew, @lohang .

@bobjonkman @bobjonkman One positive is that some #Twitter clients are now advertising #Mastodon clients. I wish they'd also look at making clients for #GNUsocial, #Misskey, #PixelFed and so on, as not everyone supports the Mastodon API.

I'm uncertain. @GNU Too indicated she can follow #friendica #forums as #GNUsocial groups. I was informed by a dev after learning gnu social fixed that, I should submit an issue to request that friendica add full support for gnu social groups, (as you can see Its shaking at best now) but I haven't got around to it, so who knows if it will ever actually happen. !gnusocial@gnusocial.club

> We made GNU social which had its part in starting the Fediverse! GNU social was a spin-off from GNU FM, which was the software we made to run Libre.fm -- Libre.fm has been federated for a very, very long time.

I’m not sure when FooCorp’s GS project started, but the ##Fediverse predates the merger of #StatusNet, #FreeSocial, and #GNUsocial into the modern GS project. Y’all have some historical accomplishments already, so there’s no need to overinflate your role.

test of quote share to see if notification occurs to OP

♲ @fuat2mb@theres.life: i highly recommend checking out a few other services on the #fediverse to see if there is anything you like better, including #Friendica, #plemora, #soapbox, #GNUsocial etc. #mastadon is only part of the 'verse, and all of the above can still interact with your friends on Mastodon

@lxo Yes, I think that's always been a feature of #Friendica. !GNUsocial allows following PuSH/websub enabled RSS & Atom feeds ... and there's an old add-on that also supports RSScloud enabled feeds.

https://prodromou.pub/@evan/109498060348615260

@evan@prodromou.pub @evan@identi.ca ( and formerly @evan@e14n.com ) has said this a few times, but here it is again.

"Every time you post on Twitter, you produce value for the advertisers.

You tell everyone in your network there that it's OK to stay. That you're all helpless to leave.

You tell the people who've lost their jobs, the people who are being hounded and harassed, that they are not important to you.

You know you're going to be ashamed of it later.

Just stop posting.

Do it here, not there. Connect here, not there.

Don't reply, don't like, don't retweet.

Stop feeding your life into the machine."

This was true before Elon #Musk bought #Twitter, but I guess it wasn't as important before.

I don't fully agree, simply because there may be some advantages to many people who continue to use Twitter instead of moving to the #Fediverse (e.g., #GNU_Social, #Mastodon, #Pleroma, #Misskey, #PixelFed, #Lenny / #Lemmy, etc) or they would have moved over already.

Also, because unless one self-hosts one's own presence, an angry instance admin is all it takes to lose all posts and connections and have to start over. Or, if one has contacts on a different instance, then irate instance admins participating in #blockwars (including #fediblock) can separate the person from some portion of their contacts.

So remember, everything that Twitter is or can do to you, your Fediverse instance can also do. Most instances will never do most of those things, but pretending that one is safe here could result in disappointment in the future.

Tagging this thread with #Fediverse #Security ... whomever made the script obviously read some protocol docs and some source code. With just a little #JavaScript, they were able to knock some #Misskey and #Mastodon instances to their knees.

This isn't the first, and it won't be the last. Remember when someone posted a humongous image and locked up any #GNUSocial instance that tried to download the image? Remember when someone's instance was replaced by some sort of cryptocurrency site and PuSH es from your site to theirs would crash your site because of their site's response? (I'll bet I still have that domain blocked at the firewall.)

We have to stop being naive about the intentions of those in the current migration. The overwhelming majority will have benign, if not good, intentions. But a select few will have bad intentions. Among those intentions is to colonize the Fediverse with #Twitter's culture, to come here and impose that culture of anger and disrespect upon the inhabitants here ... which already happened once with the first wave of people joining #Mastodon instance, except it was Twitter and #Tumblr at that time.

#Misskey security update. Someone created "instances" which trigger a denial of service in Misskey and possibly #Mastodon. From what I hear, #Pleroma is not vulnerable. #GNUsocial is likely also vulnerable.

We can expect a lot more of these kind of things now that the #Fediverse is getting attention.

I'm thinking that I'll find a couple of online #PHP / #MySQL / #LAMP courses. I have some ideas for a #Fediverse server and I'd like to try them out.

Depending on my skills, available time, and whether the projects' CoCs are acceptable, I would also like to contribute to both #GNU_Social and #Friendica. I know both projects can use a little additional momentum.

@fu RE: https://libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-1663-6973-340a-b77656826834

I'm not sure whether the #Soapbox front-end can be used with #GNU_Social. #Pleroma started out as a front-end for #GS, as #Qvitter started falling behind. So even though #PleromaFE currently doesn't support GS, it may be possible to go back to when support was removed and re-add it.

I actually think that the overwhelming majority of blocking should be done by individuals curating their own timelines. I am sensitive to the effect on the Fediverse as a whole, especially as we've already been through this.

Even the original #bifurcation (when the largest instance at the time, Identica, severed communication with #StatusNet / #GNUsocial & #OStatus and switched to the #Pump.io protocol and software) and the subsequent #ActivityPub - #OStatus split have caused untold breakage. I've seen AP-side devs, admins, users patting themselves on the back while commiserating about brokenness that is built into the protocol itself or at least its common implementations.

I have also seen people telling other people to create "alts" on various instances, so that their posts can reach all of their intended contacts. Not for resilience against instance shutdowns or separating by posts and recipients by topics and interests (which is what groups and Diaspora style Aspects / GPlus style Circles are for), but because #blockwars prevents posts and members from one instance to be seen on certain others.

For the record, I think that instance governance is something that Mastodon should include in its instances.social instance-picker, along with instances' topical foci. People should have a way to see what they're agreeing to (and what the alternatives are) before the sign up.

In other words, it isn't my way or the highway so much as it is making it possible to know what one is getting into. I am certain that there are (or were) instances with democratically chosen rules. I also believe that we're not doing the people who use an instance any favor by not making it possible for them to contribute to the financing and administration of the instance. If you're paying all the costs and doing all the work to maintain and moderate the instance, it is difficult to let an election institute a policy that you disagree with. (I've started to really disagree with the idea of individuals hosting public instances wholly out of their own financial and time resources. Besides the "truck factor", it is much easier to keep an instance going if everything was already handled by a team and at least partly member supported.)

On the other hand, if the instance encourages those in its membership who can do so to participate in keeping it going, then it is perfectly reasonable to expect the admin team to carry out the decisions voted by the membership. I do realize that not everyone can contribute funds, nor can everyone do the technical labor ... but as @simsa04 will remember, things like writing documentation, contributing in discussions about improving the software, designing and implementing themes, and even marketing-type tasks such as creating a logo and a favicon or promoting the instance to people outside the #Fediverse are beneficial.

I am not planning to launch the first open registration public instance until every !fnetworks #GNU_Social instance is running version 2.0+, so #Federati Networks may miss this next wave of #Twitter refugees.

The chaotic situation at home has meant that I’ve delayed the planned upgrades again.
