IIRC there is an open source project for forums communities.

It’s called SMF I think.

I was the cool guy with all the chats in one place: Pidgin.

At this point Microsoft could use the .odf standard and people won’t notice that and they will be using MSOffice anyways.

Only a fraction of us would use LO or OO or anything compatible.

They even use System 76 hardware.

Same goes with Voyager ( https://vger.app/ ), that was used to create this post.

Voyager is the best PWA I’ve ever seen.

Friendica has the RSS feature and it is compatible with most Activity Pub services.

Ya no les creo 🥲

Whatever you put after the ‘@’ mention in the first line of your message to a Lemmy community becomes the post title. Anything below it becomes part of the body text.

Finally I understand this.

I miss the old OpenID way.

We need a very, very simple ID server that everybody should be able to install, even as an app for smartphones and ActivityPub (and others) able to communicate to.

To me, this option works much better than “Active”, “Hot” and others.

Do I lin?

The privacy part of Lemmy/Mastodon is them not collecting data on what you look at to sell it.

Nor requesting your real name and ID, phone number…

That’s where the love starts

Why would you call it makimlif?

/S.

I may be weird, but I like Friendica.

Friend + Ica

Friends, friendly

Like erotica, but friendly.

Friendica needs more love.

It has the potential to be the fediverse app, allowing users to curate content from any other ActivityPub platform in one app only. Do you want to see and interact with communities from Lemmy and photos from PixelFeed? Do you want only Mastodon and PixelFeed? Or Lemmy and PeerTube?

I know you can do that with other platforms, but they maintain their own content visualization, like viewing a Lemmy post in Mastodon looks odd.

I like the idea of separate tabs to see different content the right way.

Also, it’s easier to install. I remember the old days when Friendica used to be in Softaculous and other auto installers used in shared hostings.

I do with translations.

Data collection doesn’t bother me too much. I’m not going to install their client and all of the behavior trackers that come with it, and my activity pub content is already freely available to query on the internet. If they want it, they already have access to it. Everyone does.

I will be able to follow and see friends’ posts and sports teams’ posts through Mastodon without needing a Meta account nor install their shitty apps.

All I posted via fediverse is public already, traveling into some obscure instances, so I don’t care if Meta uses or shares my public posts.

GIMP makes uncommon things possible, and common things hard.

Now I understand my frustrations.

Kobo has a good support for alternative OS software and they are good.
