It really would be so much easier to just boost Mastodon posts into a Lemmy community.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 months ago (2 children)

that's crazy talk, next you'll be telling us we should be able to actually block people from seeing and interacting with our posts

Hopefully whenever mastodon gets quote posts we'll see something similar pop up over here.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (4 children)

You don't need to wait on Mastodon to do it.

Obviously, I'm not talking about you specifically -- Threadiverse devs generally.

For example, some of this functionality already exists on Friendica.

I'm sure I've read this headline before and nothing came of it then.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.”

Yeah, they've been talking about this for years now.

I'll believe it when I see it

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why did you link to a Mastodon post and not the actual article?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The article seems well-written, except that:

the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.

Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we're like "and others" lel... I guess they didn't mention Pixelfed either tho and it's a lot "hotter"...

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That article is intended for casual readers. These people might be more familiar with Flipboard than Lemmy or Pixelfed.

The same way that people are familiar with Blackberry or Nokia despite none of them even reach mainstream market anymore.

I thought tumblr's porn part never recovered after the 2018 purge

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago

Wow, way to try staying relevant I guess? They had a huge following and the porn was flowing during the good times. They blew their chance and now it’s a shell of itself. Fuck Tumblr.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (2 children)

of all platforms I didn't expect the hellsite to federate.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

They've been recently bought by Automattic (WordPress), so this doesn't surprise me. I wouldn't have expected it if they were still owned by their previous owner though.

Oh you mean the one run by a conservative who’s a massive bigot? Greaaaaat.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

As long as there's no toxic behaviour from them, I'm more than OK with this

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (4 children)

I welcome our colon three posting brothers and sisters

Oh hellsite

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (5 children)

God I hope my instance defederates with them.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Why? Tumblr is terrible, but in a good way.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

Tumblr is terrible

Stay terrible fam.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

Because Automattic owns Tumblr and is run by a douchebag transphobe that is also destroying WordPress. (Though, to be fair WordPress is fucking trash)

You could just block them yourself if you don't like leftist spaces that much

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Tumblr doesn't really strike me as leftist, so much as having a low signal:noise ratio

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In the early-to-mid 2010s Tumblr was mainly associated with "social justice" types of people, it seems to have become a lot less relevant at some point in the late 2010s.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That would be when they banned porn in 2018.

What's wrong?

Tumblr on fediverse by default will increase variation of community in fediverse. Especially, fediverse right now is still mainly filled with American or European related topics.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Instead of hoping your instance does something, just make your own instance. That's the whole idea.
