Are there some other instances which have viewing local timelines of other instances feature beside and ? I was surprised mastodon.social do not have it.

I'm surprised is used for hosting hundreds of thousands videos no one watching but is not really used for movies . I don't think reason is because admins do not allow - I think users themselves don't want to, so they do not register and do not upload any movies. Though I sometimes time thinking about registering and uploading few movies.

@BeAware@social.beaware.live I think to avoid these kind of problem with moderation with wasting time blocking endlessly needs feature like "Block all domains except which are on Unblocked Exceptions List".

I wonder if there no-politics Fedi instances. It looks like all big instances and most of the small instances are aggressively political and news agenda centered. Smaller instances tend to be less about politics and news, but they also often just several people posting.

@malison @bookwyrm It is because books have different covers. To have another page for the same book but with different cover is advantage and very important so that people could have choice with which cover they want their book in their collections.

How ever one may not like Truth Social it plays major role in decentralization movement. It just so much crazy that people are okay with this that they all chose to use just this one social network website and to make just this one person to be richest person on the whole planet instead of create their own social network websites and be rich/to have their own portion of the pie too. has shown it's not difficult.

@jupiter_rowland @mikedev I think would have been more cool and successful if it didn't had app and was its own alternative Fediverse. I wonder if there probably are Hubzilla instances without it. And actually i find the way Hubzilla does "Share" posts to be better than Mastodon in a way that you really give additional visibility to self and post you share by making it appear once again on public timelines. As well it can prevent ActivityPub posts from appearing on your instance in case you'd want your instance to be zot protocol-only posts. I actually like current version of Hubzilla and I prefer old versions of Mastodon like Qoto and Fedibird.

@tokyo_0 @danie10 that sounds very interesting to try out - so even too good to be true. seems to be so interesting software. Not without drawbacks for me though because I find "hashtags/keyword follow/subscribe" feature which my instance has to be most important for me in social network website. In hubzilla defense hubzilla has instance search function which available even if you not logged in, kind of very slow but it works.

@danie10 thank you, I think I got it, though I should admit everything is really difficult to find with interface - even just to get to this Import function where Nomadic Identity is hidden you should unintuitively go to "Channels" - "Create new channel" page instead of just simply find it in Settings menu like with Mastodon.

fisunov boosted

@danie10 can you give a little hint on how to use/activate this Nomadic Identity function so we could try it and understand what it is and how it works. I looked at my profile settings and didn't find any mention of it.

@dynamic zotum.net supports wiki, node9.org supports rss.

@volkris I think I probably used wrong or confusing term for feature I meant. I actually meant like when email has feature to automatically send all your inbox mail from one your account to the other your account inbox. So probably I meant to say we need activitypub "redirecting" will be right term?

We need activitypub forwarding like email has email forwarding.

Too much bot accounts on Fediverse. Each time I try explore it I end up wasting my time scrolling through posts from hundreds of bot accounts and very few real people, and this despite me being on relatively small instances and looking up just something like japanese korean chinese keyword hashtag.

@rei I think even more slow when scrolling hashtags and even with Chromium not the same like before. Actually when I first saw Mastodon I was big fan and now just wondering what went wrong and disappointed with the new Mastodon being so much more slow, more broken, more mainstream, less open, and feel more cluttered. I don't think it right direction for Mastodon. I don't think it particular Fennec fault but rather some questionable Mastodon software decisions. I think more Fediverse people should support forks like Qoto and Fedibird instead and we should have more instances of them. I very skeptical of Fediverse community so eagerly moving to new version and abandoning old Mastodon.

@mookie@troublemaker.social well yeah I was referring to android Firefox, specifically F-Droid Fennec. I suspect now it may be to do with this. It scrolls okay when old versions of Mastodon before new "vertical buttons bar" was introduced when it is stil horizontal like Qoto and Fedibird instances, then it became too slow. or may be it has to do with my phone being Huawei, I actually so far quite often encountered cases when my system and apps worked glitchy and not like supposed too.

I only now paid closer attention at this feature on mobile Chromium where you can see number of "cookies in use" for a web page when I click on a lock icon before url. and it says 180 for CNN website - very interesting. By the way, foxnews.com uses from 16-26 cookies which is much less compare with CNN. Even for site like space.com it 70. In the mean time site like Swedish svt.se for example only 2 cookies - it will use 12 but only if I click "Accept all" on the pop-up. and German tagesschau.de uses just 8 cookies without asking. a site like Finnish iltalehti.fi will use 12-16 but if you click "Approve" on cookie pop-up number can go up to 56-80. so it is better idea to click "Refuse all" on cookies pop-ups and go to browser cookies settings and choose "Block third party cookies".
To compare with, Bromite has "Ad blocking" functionality, which is when "on", blocks most of all CNN cookies and shows only 12 of them for CNN.

Is it possible to install 32-bit .exe file on 64-bit with/using ? I had no such problem installing my .exe file I need with my i386 before, but now when switched to 64-bit it seems nothing launches when I try run this .exe file with now.

@carlile it's fake. it() supposed to be decentralized but as it is it seems like the only "instance" existing is .com I heard it's very difficult/expensive to host so no one does it which is clear sign that something is very wrong with it. if I'm right it will not succeed. in addition it's very heavy, slow, has ads, and not open-source. there's called "frontend" but it's just "odysee.com frontend" - not "lbry frontend". I also suspect they sensor worse than YouTube otherwise it would have become piracy haven. there nothing really good about it though it still more interesting content than from some youtubers who probably there for more money, not because thay excited about technology.

so it will never be anything like mastodon where anyone can host their own instance
