@P4ulin_Kbana
> P-political?
If it’s not obvious why cooperation between the mods of different communities is political, I’m not sure how to explain it ; ) To be clear, I mean little-p political, not big-P Political (involving electoral politics and the accompanying partisanship).
@possiblylinux127
> You hit “create community”
That creates a community. Getting people to actually use it is a different and much more complicated thing.
AFAIK there is work underway to make more Lemmy communities more like Matrix rooms, by allowing the mods of 2 or more communities on different servers to federate them, so every post or comment to one of them goes to all of them. But this too is political and complicated.
Well that worked, I can see my reply as a comment on both Lemmy.nz (where I found the thread) and on https://lemmy.eco.br where @P4ulin_Kbana is posting.
Now someone reply, I want to see if this works.

> I’ve heard it’s (currently) impossible to post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account due to how both are differently built, unless you’re referring to seeing a Lemmy discussion from Mastodon
I’m trying to reply to this with a Mastodon account. I’ll be interested to see if it appears in the discussion on Lemmy instances, and if replies to it from Lemmy appear in my @mentions here.

@skullgiver
> However, the Fediverse was never just about ActivityPub
Correct. As those of us who used GNU social 10 years ago will never tire of telling you, it was coined to describe the OStatus network. Once all the software using OS adopted ActivityPub, it came to describe the AP network, and anything hanging directly off it (eg Diaspora).
> ATProto is part of the Fediverse too
No it isn’t, because…
> Fediverse software doesn’t speak it.
Same with XMPP, Matrix, etc

If this is the PeerFed you meant, I’m guessing the answer to both these questions is ‘no’;

@glowl
> if you are willing to do a bit of reading in the wiki, i like the editing plugin for OsmAnd
Thanks, I’ll have a look. Having editing it in the map app I already use sounds good.
@glowl
> SCEE (Street complete Extended Edition) that allows for a lot more tags to be edited and some more nifty customization options
This sounds powerful. Would you recommend it for a beginner?
@MapAmore
> If you don’t like to map them directly yourself, when you’re on site
I have ADHD. If I can’t do it right away when I notice the problem, I’m unlikely to remember. So what I need is an Android app that makes it quick and easy to submit an update (with appropriate license) whenever I notice a discrepancy.
@glowl
> Havent tried OSM Go yet, but can recommend streetcomplete and every door
Are these available on F-Droid?
@MapAmore
I use @openstreetmap a lot, via #OSMAnd+, and I’d love to give back to the map commons. The biggest problems I see are not with the basic data (streets etc), since the NZ govt’s own map data is released under CC license, and updates to it are quickly imported into #OSM.
Rather what I see is outdated info about what can be found at a given address. Any advice of helping to update that kind of data? Is it part of OSM or other data commons used by OSMAnd+?

@regalia
> I recommend actually looking at what it looks like on the site, it’s extremely different then how it looks on mastodon
Yes, I’m familiar. I’ve been following Lemmy development for several years, as part of research for fediverse.party. That’s the background to my comments about the algorithm determining what appears on a Lemmy front page.
If you’re proposing that there’s a more complicated algorithm at work, what do you think it is?
@regalia
> Are you replying from Mastodon right now
Yes. Here’s the post you just replied to, on the public-facing web page of the Mastodon server I use:
@regalia
> the algo for active/hot favor large communties, so smaller ones tend not to show up on the front page
I presume it’s the same as what determines which posts appear on the front page of a Mastodon server; chronological order of posts. That would favour the larger communities, since people post there more often.
The other limiting factor, I presume, is a Lemmy server only knows about the communities its accounts are members of. Larger communities will have members on more servers.
@regalia
> our algo doesn’t do a good job of promoting smaller communities
Lemmy has an algo for that?
@deadsuperhero
> development of a Go-based backend implementation, Dendrite
Also Rust-based homeserver implementations like Construct and Conduit. Both of which are usable, although missing a few nice-to-have added features. Eg Conduit is still working on;
“E2EE emoji comparison over federation (E2EE chat works)… Outgoing read receipts, typing, presence over federation”
@deadsuperhero
> the reference implementation everyone uses by default is known to be bloated and slow, and poor at scaling
This doesn’t seem to stop the fediverse growing (*cough* Mastodon *cough*).

"Duckquill has built in support for loading Mastodon comments see (the example on the theme site), given the link where you posted it. But I don’t much care for Mastodon …
I prefer Lemmy, where you don’t really care about followers, as long as your content is good and posted to right community(ies). So I made my own."

Well, I’m going to reply from a Mastodon account anyway. So there : P
