Prediction: The next new hotness in the Fediverse; CW: Fediverse meta, non-Mastodon Fediverse meta

I think I've lost track of what the hot stuff in the Fediverse is right now. Was it Sharkey after all?

But I can tell you what the hotness around the turn of the year and in early 2025 will be: pairing frontend-less GoToSocial with all kinds of Fediverse Web frontends.

You've read it here first.

Like it or not, #Mastodon successfully did an #EEE of the #Fediverse as far as API is concerned.

Non-Mastodon software with Mastodon API implemented can be connected to third-party services like brid.gy and fedica.com, to mention a few.

It is rare to see third-party services implement any support for non-Mastodon software using their respective API. #Fedica recently added #Pixelfed support; and a few other alt #frontends support either #Misskey or #Pleroma.

So… yeah, there's no doubt the “competition” is over as far as this particular usage is concerned. Mastodon won, got what it wants. Either implement it and allow your users to use other third-party software… or don't and wait for other developers to support your platform.

Not good, but we have to face the reality sooner rather than later, so we can move forward. Maybe make it part of #ActivityPub 2.0 and finally have a universal fediverse API that all can agree with and use.

When it comes to #privacy , I always don't get one point: why do people *try* to replace everything with #privacyfocused alternatives and #frontends ?

Say, YouTube. I've seen people recommedning to me #Individious and #piped to use instead of youtube.com.

Why? I can just use #YouTube with uBlock Origin and other browser extensions installed.

And the list is keep going on.....

You can hate me as much as you want, but I use youtube.com when it comes to watch videos.

Ya que estoy, un #frontend que recomiendo para #youtube es

piped.video

Tiene el mismo propósito que twiiit pero para youtube, al depender de varias instancias / servers nunca va a estar caído, el único problemita es que cada tanto hay que ir a los ajustes y cambiar el server.

¿Y para que sirve?
Para que en vez de usar twitter.com uses twiit.com y este al depender de varios servers nunca estará caído.

Now that a bunch of code in GitHub repos isn't visible without running MicroSoft's proprietary JS, it would be great to have a software freedom-protecting front-end for browsing GH itself. Of course, Free Code projects moving off GH onto community-hosted code forges is the ideal solution, but in the meantime...

Anyone else noticing that YouTube seems to be cracking down on full album uploads and alternative front-ends like Invidious and Piped?

I've tried various #Mastodon #frontends and I've found #Trunks to be the best (so far).

1. Easiest way to check notifications.
2. Multi-column
3. Loads fast
4. Available in Android with the same layout and feature set.
* Also available in iOS (but I haven't tested this, I don't have an iOS unit).
5. For me, it sits between barebones and eye-candy UI

At least those are the ones I can remember quickly, or those that struck me as important.

Give it a try here: alpha.trunks.social

A fair warning, as the URL suggests, it's alpha software.

Interesting thing I noticed about #polls in different #fediverse software and #frontends.

Original #poll: c.im/@youronlyone/110128906219

1st screenshot (#Mastodon): 53 people
2nd (Mastodon with #Trunks frontend): 83 votes
3rd (#Calckey): 83 votes

The poll was multi-select, so there were 53 people who voted with multiple answers which resulted into 83 votes. In Calckey, it is visible how many votes each item got.

Another thing I noticed, the percentage calculation of the Trunks frontend and vanilla Mastodon are different.

* CommonMark/Markdown received 41% and 43% respectively.
* Org-mod received 39% and 40% respectively.
And so on.

Initially I thought, maybe, there were people who voted but are not appearing in the poll. But, if the instance (and thus the post/poll) is not visible in another instance, users from there can not vote at all.

I think it has more to do with the display method and calculation: number of voters vs number of votes.

Just an interesting thing I noticed. It's not important, or maybe it is for other people who take online polls seriously.

@boilingsteam @hj Haha.

There are Mastodon forks, and #frontends which provide that feature, or at least something similar, by default. Other #fediverse software have such a feature, most notably #Misskey and #Calckey (there are others, of course).

It's a very neat feature that mainline Mastodon doesn't have (and probably will never have).

la bal. nalvolzipcpin.

What are the thoughts on posting links to alternative #frontends of services like YouTube, Twitter or Instagram, rather than to the respective main site, on the #Fediverse? (For example, linking piped.video or yewtu.be instead of youtu.be)
There are a number of possible arguments for (i.e. these services are generally more #privacy-respecting) and against (i.e. people should perform such URL substitutions themself, these links are more likely to die or randomly cease functioning) I can see

(bastante abochornado de no haber oído hablar de este proyecto en dos años que ya lleva activo)

UntrackMe transforms #Twitter, #YouTube, #Instagram, #Reddit and #Medium and #Wikipedia links to links of open source, privacy friendly #frontends. Converts Google Maps links to #OpenStreetMap links. Removes #tracking parameters from any #url. Then delegates the action to other apps that are capable of handling them.
