I just read infosec.exchange/@jerry/112887… again and it just hit me that "new kid on the block" Mastodon has been around for over 8 years already! The "Mastodon Network" era is now most of Fediverse history!

The Fediverse is 16 years old since May[1] and Mastodon has been up for 8 years since March[2], so 2024 marks the year when Mastodon has been on the Fediverse for the majority of the time the network has been around.

Of course, for the vast majority of fedizens, Mastodon has always been around and their first server was a Mastodon server, and for many, the part of the Fediverse that runs on Mastodon is the #MastodonNetwork , but as of this year we have passed a milestone where that perspective is not entirely objectively wrong by yet another measure.

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

Meta talk

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

yet another example of why #friendica is so much better than mastodon. This is the last post in a long thread about #Reddit charging for API access. They are like the 30th person to recommend #Lemmy, which is super noticeable here since #friendica does proper status #threading, but it sure isn't clear on #Mastodon, particularly depending which user in the thread you #follow.

♲ @deadsuperhero@social.treehouse.systems: that's just so insane to me. Clients are a huge boon to platforms; pricing developers out is actively hostile to almost everyone.

If things go from worse to worst, maybe it might be worth considering building for the fediverse, kind of like what Tapbots is doing? There's a Reddit alternative called Lemmy that pretty much replaces most of Reddit's main functionality.

I found the thread!and the folks who where helpful probably didn't see this new thread because I hadn't actually friended them yet. That is now corrected as well as STARRING the thread in question. @admin :heart_cyber: @zebulon 1ᵉʳ, dit "le maudit"
