Every release gets better and better. Makes me happy to see all the work that goes into this weird network that is Ours!

but if I am using Lemmy and someone says follow me on the fediverse, I have to say I can’t because there isn’t that ability. I think that’s one of the main differences that the word Threadiverse differentiates

Thanks for the context context!

There have been monthly meetings about this issue and surrounding ones that are open to the public if you really want to know more. There are years worth of discussions about it too but they are very spread around

Was curious if they supported Piefed and tried to log in with my account and it doesn’t work but also doesn’t give an error lol

Wow that is a badly written sentence! I think you get my point tho

My point is that there is never a hard line between any other parts of the fediverse so if there is a new feature or way one part does something it will always have an effect on the other parts.

everything is weaved together! What happenes when a mastodon account responds to a piefed account and then that gets shared by a Friendica account etc.

Sometimes you see a post on your home instance and it looks like it has no replies but then you go look at it on the remote view and there are lots of replies. Backfilling is like making sure if you see a post it has all the comments

Been wanting to start a ‘bad graffiti’ sub for a while

A neologism my mother taught me as I was first learning to talk (and eat) was ‘clurt’

If you are eating something that is drippy like yogurt or soup you need to clurt your spoon before you put it in your mouth. Grew up saying this and was always confused when people didn’t understand what I was talking about

I didn’t realize this is a midwestern thing. Grew up with this term in Wisconsin

what a sweetly heartwarming story.

I agree that ‘link aggregator’ is a horrible term that is only relevant to nerds and shouldn’t be used in any general user facing way as a description. I think this is the sort of thing that is really a collective failure of the fediverse and open source / free culture projects in general is how out of reach all of our lingo is to anyone not already in the in-group.
