Just realised this, most mastodon users who have had experience with groups think they are just bots that auto-boost any posts they are mentioned in.

This is kinda annoying me.

    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.

        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. 😍

      Yeah that sounds like a bug in how they handle the incoming events.
