You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
I use Impressia for Pixelfed. It’s pretty good.
Having a Mastodon account means creating new habits. One of them is to check the originating server of an account. This is because that account may not be using Mastodon.
No, what was said was that “Groups are for Lemmy and hashtags are for Mastodon”.
That is to say that Groups are not for Mastodon, so Mastodon users should be content with hashtags.
But Mastodon users use Lemmy groups from Mastodon, and better group integration is already being planned by Mastodon themselves.
Ergo, groups are for Mastodon.
Nope, not a Piefed photo stream. All those photos (so far) originate either from Akkoma or Pixelfed.
It looks “just” like a Piefed photo stream because I’m sending photos there. 😊
I’m an instance owner too (see atomicpoet.org and akkomane.social). Speaking as an instance owner, it’s our fundamental job to moderate.
It’s not “throwing the onus onto someone else.” The onus has always been on us.
You don’t need to make a single interface, just a “meta-interface” that allows you to switch UIs on the fly.
That’s entirely doable within a client.
Sure, here’s the URL:
https://piefed.social/c/lumoura
Also, you might want to look at getting a better Lemmy client.
Is deeper integration possible? Sure, check out how I use !lumoura@piefed.social with my Akkoma account.
Not only is it possible, there’s lots of Fediverse software that’s just designed to be a “dumb server” akin to Nginx. For example, appy:
Now the reason this stuff hasn’t caught fire yet is because we’re just now moving away from “Fediverse = Mastodon”. So the idea of federation itself isn’t just a paradigm shift, it’s a complete system shock that disrupts our mental models for how social media is supposed to work.
Mastodon is terrible for topical discussions because people don’t use groups. But they can if they knew how to use them.
You may say the system was not designed for cross-pollination, but the fundamental system is not Mastodon, and it’s not Lemmy: it’s ActivityPub.
Now do all these apps implement ActivityPub imperfectly? Yes. But eventually, some app will get it right—ideally one that will let you choose your preferred UI/UX on the fly.
What if I told you that you can use Lemmy with Mastodon right now—and that many people do?
For real. He replied to my Akkoma post, which tagged this Lemmy group. 😆
BlackRock is a manager of ETFs, almost all which involve passive investment funds. They’re not much different from Vanguard.
Now if you don’t know what this means, I’ll break it down for you: BlackRock doesn’t know what’s going on, their funds just follow preset rules for underlying assets.
And the reason they hold so many assets is because they’re passive in nature.
I mean, people obviously say things because they have an agenda.
But let’s look at BlackRock specifically. When they said a recession was coming, we were at the absolute bottom of a stock market downturn. Isn’t that weird?
If anyone listened BlackRock, they would have lost a lot of money.
I’m not saying BlackRock knows where the market is going—they clearly don’t. I’m saying we need to be skeptical about big pronouncements regarding where things are going.
Sorry, I have to call shenanigans. That article was written in 2022:
A more recent article, in 2024, says they see no recession:
People on Twitter literally make shit up to fit narratives.
Not anymore. Look at who’s publishing it now.
