I’ve been researching for the past week Threadiverse projects (Lemmy at first, then PieFed and now Mbin) with the goal of testing out their interoperability with the rest of the Fediverse.
Apologies in advance if this is the third post you see from me - this one is my first in Mbin.
I wonder if you have any insights regarding the differences between the 3 - advantages/disadvantages and opinions on your favorite project?
I’m also interested to see if Mbin manages to federate mentions (unlike Lemmy and PieFed who falls short). So for the purposes of this test, I’m mentioning:
- my Mastodon account @_elena@mastodon.social
- my Friendica account @elena@opensocial.space
- and my Lemmy account @elena@lemmy.world to see if anything happens
Thanks and happy to be here!
@elena@fedia.io @elena@lemmy.world 👷🏻♀️ OP here, testing out if Mastodon replies federate 👷🏻♀️
If I can help with your tests in some way, let me know. I manage most types of fediverse software including Fedia.io, though I’ve not yet tried piefed. I think your question is prompting me to give it a try.
Thank you so much Jerry, I really appreciate! 🙏
I’m really enjoying Fedia.io and I’m delighted that my Mastodon (thread) mention showed up in my Mastodon notifications. It’s the first time I managed to get it to work on the “Threadiverse” (the same experiment failed on Lemmy and PieFed).
Interestingly, the same thing didn’t work for my Lemmy.world account or Friendica.
The lesson so far: Mbin threads on Fedia.io federate mentions on Mastodon but not Lemmy or Friendica. But I bet mentions in comments federate. So retrying this here: @elena@lemmy.world and @elena@friendica.opensocial.space
And apologies in advance if I’m using the wrong language to describe this, I’m a newbie 😅
I’m not surprised about friendica. I will ask the mbin developers to take a look. I will also take a look at lemmy - I know federation works with lemmy.world - I get enough reports about their users here to know that for sure :) I just don’t know how mentions are handled.
