If there's anything hacking on postActiv has taught me, it's why the fediverse hasn't moved forward in years.  Instead of collaborating, people go off on their own projects that duplicate work and effort for pretty much no gain.  It's not surprising: everyone wants to be a chief, no one wants to be an indian, so to speak.  I only made postActiv to push GS forward since the issues and PRs weren't getting put in a time fashion, but this isn't the first time someone who has had the same experience has ignored it to go off and do their own thing.

We're just going in circles and circles, all the while wondering why we get nowhere.  Hubzilla and Diaspora are the ones actually solving the hard problems of the fediverse, and by and large they've been ignored too.  Actually fixing things isn't "sexy"

Hier läuft's auf all.inkl. Bislang gut.
  
I like the idea of friendica developers that want friendica to be as easily installed as wordpress is. That's a point why I don't turn my back on friendica, although hubzilla works pretty much the same.

What do you think: How many active users are we on #hubzilla ? I mean, really active, posting regulary. My guess: 100.
  
Somehow it only works because I'm logged in here and check the other site within the same browser.

@Stephan Maus I just saw also my second hub vanished from the list  https://the-federation.info/hubzilla because I switched off the federation plugins. As far as I remember this is the reason (not) to get listed.

So it should be more hubs and hubzillians arround. Maybe much more?

Nice introduction to The Federation

Something that I wish existed when we both came here in 2011 (maybe you came in '13?)

Welcome to The Federation!


This is a brief introduction to our system. The Federation (not to be confused with the Fediverse) is a combination of 5 different social networks:These networks are interconnected. Posts that are made on one network is shared with the others, but each network has different features and looks. Feel free to switch if you want to explore other options.

Unlike most social networks, there is no central system that determines and/or dictates what people see. Instead of automatically showing things according to popularity and/or individual user behavior, people here have to take charge of their own content.

#Hastags determine what you and others see. If a post has a #hashtag you are following, it will show up in your stream, likewise for your own posts. If you are sharing with someone, you will see all of their posts regardless of the #hashtags used. There are no other hidden factors or systems.

So make sure to follow a bunch of appropriate #hashtags, check out other profiles and share with people otherwise you won't find any content. Also make sure you engage, leave comments and use proper #hashtags in your own posts, otherwise we wouldn't know you exist.

We have a few moderation tools, so you are free to block and ignore users as you see fit. Please try to be excellent to each other and take everything with some #humor. The admins shouldn't be bothered with childish trollwars or denouncism.

Everything here is done manually. It's up to the community to distribute content, support each other, invite new people, contribute to the code, pay for our infrastructure and fight any kind of commercial spaming, propaganda, etc. (This #newhere message is a good example of this in action.)

You can find out more from the various links, FAQ's and Tutorials listed above (next to each network). The tutorial for Friendica users is on every site, under /help. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. Everything might be a bit daunting at first, but like with all good things, patience is key.

The experience you have on this network is in your own hands... good luck! =D

BTW: Is there a possibility to follow hashtags in #hubzilla?

I guess the peaks in this graph are the Facebook scandals. My bet is that it'll drop again after a couple of weeks... as the news fade and users return to Facebook and buissness as usual. But it was nice to meet you all ;-)

Is #Numa even better than #hubzilla? Runs on a blockchain ! Cutting edge !

moonman favorited something by sonya:

I'm trying out Numa, a new Fediverse... thing... that lives on the Ethereum blockchain somehow. My account on the founding instance is @sonya (is it federating properly yet? idk)

Check it out: https://numaverse.com/

Found via Hacker News, where there's a long comment from the creator: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16734428

Posts in a blockchain can't be deleted, as far as I know.
So this is an effect you should be aware of.

If successful, just imagine the scaling issues. Want to run your own instance? No problem! Just download the entire history of every communication that has ever happened.

The #numa - website is a good joke, I think. Paying for every post! It's a good parody of Silicon-Valley-hipsters fishing for venture capitalist-dollars.

Apparently, most of the xiaomi phones are compatible too.... I've seen some good deals on ebay for them. So long as it has a minimum of 2gb ram and 16gb storage, I'm happy. I never really use it for anything particularly intensive.

Bought 2 Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 for my kids but failed to unlook the bootloader. You have to register your phone and use a "Windows App" connect it to a MS-Windows Computer to unlook. This step failed. Result: No LineageOS on Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 for my kids. At least I figured out how to install decent firewall, Netguard.

I would recommend LeEco Le Pro3 instead. Advantage: no registration at manufacturer, just unlook it using developer options, adb and fastboot. Bought three phones at Alibaba. Installed LineageOS 15.x (Android 8.1), SuperUser and on one phone gapps. No problems. Watch this: buy these models only    LEX720, LEX722, LEX727 only.

Problems with connection to Mastodon

Stephan Maus
  
!Hubzilla Support Forum Good morning Hubzilla-People!

When I'm trying to connect to a #mastodon - user, I get the error-message "channel dicovery failed". This is very strange because several days ago, I succeeded in connecting to some mastodon-users and I see them in my connection-list (although I don't really know if I still see their posts).

Do you have any idea what happened?

Best,
Stephan

in truth I have always had some problems with the federation with gnusocial and mastodon, sometimes it works, others not ....Mike always does miracles (for federating), but on the other hand/side they often "destroy" these miracles.

there is no comparison with the-federation (the federation using diaspora protocol), that works much better, more stable.
  
Very interesting. It works for me if the other person follows back... or something like that.
  
Derartige Installationen auf Shared Hostern sind halt auch immer so eine Sache. GS ist bei mir langsam aber sicher sehr lahm geworden. Friendica dagegen ist am schnellsten bislang und es lässt sich auch so einfach wie WordPress installieren.

I see, thank you! As I am the admin and the only user, I am the only one who will ever see my public stream, right? So, I don’t have to bother about illegal content.

So happy to see you, @href ! - J'ai un peu mauvaise conscience d'etre ici et pas sur soc.ialis.me. Mais j'ai toujours revé d'avoir une propre instance.

Not necessarily. You might want to tick the box to only allow authenticated viewers, or else this will be open to the public. See admin/site. There are a few public stream settings. Authenticated viewers also includes remote auth viewers from other hubzilla sites. You may want a setting to restrict this to only local logins but nobody has done this yet.
