Yes, Mastodon will add it. Currently the closest group mastodon users have is our forumverse and a.gup.pe.

Iceshrimp is a fork of firefish, a misskey fork. But once they finish the rewritting, it won’t be a fork anymore.

Here is their roadmap : https://issues/ Iceshrimp.dev/issue/ISH-191/Magazines-support

And we know one of their dev. He is on the matrix group of jlai.lu and he confirmed working on lemmy and PieFed support. So by the end of this year we should see a tremendous increase of activity. 😍

Yes, when you edit a forumverse post (lemmy, mbin, piefed) it boosts those posts and create several duplicate of the same post. It pollute their timeline.

So it is either a bot or a bug for them. If you are on mastodon, try subscribing to @fediverse@lemmy.world and edit this post on lemmy.

Futhermore, comments aren’t grouped in the post. They are separated from their parent element. And you need to crawl back the comment to find its original post.

I hope mastodon will support the forumverse. The iceshrimp devs, currently rewritting iceshimp in C#, are working on it.

While the project is great, i’m kinda disappointed by journalist work. It doesn’t explain the challenge of reducing car.

Living at the city center is very expensive. For 8m2, in Paris, i paid 400 euros. So most of poor people either share their rent or live at its border and need a car to go to work as there is fever public transport outside Paris center. And the RER is overcrowded.

So It doesn’t explain well how did they plan reducing car. Lot urban planner sketched some interesting idea to decentralize Paris. How did they connect the outside of paris to its center ?

But yes she did a good job, that the first step.

I use :

microblog

• mastodon for political content as it allows me to avoid lenghty and tendious discussion with its 500 characters limit. But…i stopped using it for a while due to current news on climate change and fascism. And i’m not fan of its UI
• IceShrimp. I love its colorful UI. For me it one of the best UI on the fediverse. It also have a good balance between lenghty text and short one. It also support markdown. 3000 characters is enough

forumverse

• lemmy, it was good when we migrated from Reddit but over time i prefer PieFed.
• Mbin, i tried it but i dunno why i don’t use it as much as Lemmy whereas there were much more functionalities and cool ideas.
• PieFed i’m starting to use it much more than Lemmy. There are plenty great ideas as downvote management, tags, poll, multicommu, support peertube and a.gup.pe. It is better each week.

They investigated in march 2024 and are building it since september 2024

I think the hardest part are mobile OS 😔
Beside : eOS, sailfish and postmarket we have a long way…

You can limit it to social network. I class peertube, pixelfed as a media plateform rather a social network one.

For migration, can i migrate my account with :

• My followers and giving them my new adress ? Do it update itself or do we have to do it ?
• my contents : communities, bookmark, posts, comments…
• can i delete my account ? Can i delete all my content ? and how easy it is ? There we will see Meta doing an amazing score.
• bonus : can i export settings as colors scheme ? (Accessibility for visually impaired)
• can i give community to new mod ? Can i fork it ?

And let’s add accessibility. :)
We don’t talk much about it and we are doing a very bad job. So the scoring system should also raise this issue : how accessible is the decentralized software.

Or maybe a separate scoring system ? So i will be easier to manage it ?

Yes culture and language should be another metric.

But migrate option, i think they could be integrated because they are a key part of a decentralized system. I you can’t move easily from facebook, reddit, you will stay. And that’s why people stay, they shared life with people, they have build together a community…

There is an article about nomadic identity that explain well those part. :)

The main reason for me creating this is to shine light on services like Bluesky claiming to be Decentralised, but they are in fact not.

Nice :D

Very interesting idea, thank you :)

So for my feedback, i love your project and i can’t wait to see where you will go. Great job :3

For me lemmy is still centered on lemmy.world and theqbiggest community (in any instance) doesn’t help users to move to another community as they will post where there are lot users to reach them.

For myself, I would add two layers for decentralization scoring, maybe a separate scoring :

Ability to migrate

• account and its followers
• community : miror content and move it to another instance with its followers
• export a backup of a server in case of absent admins
• change software. The problem is the golden cage, we thould be able to migrate between lemmy > iceshrimp, mastodon > piefed…mostly between social network. I think nomadic identity can offer us an interesting solution.

Culture diversities

For lemmy, i think content is still too western centric :

• If you reduce lemmy instances by spoken language as french, we only have 1-3 servers, so we have a single point of faillure. On mastodon there are several french instance.
• If i count english content versus indian, chinese, arab, spanish…we are pretty far from being decentralized. And yes, we also need to note their countries regulation as our to get a clear overview.

Yes Lemmy communities are nice but you will notice quickly that there are part you may want to avoid. So each communities, even if they may have the same name offer a different experience. It’s all up to the mod team 😅

Btw, there are other software part of the forumverse as Mbin, NodeBB and PieFed that offer a slightly different experience and UI too

Welcome and enjoy :)
