that’s one of the plus points of using the fediverse I’ve heard? and I just did a quick google and at least mastodon software has that function.
Now that I’m here now, at least lemmy/mbin seem like it can’t yet. kind of. lemmy does allow to export and import some settings to move around instances.
thanks for bringing this to my attention. personally I haven’t seen it yet.
I’ll probably join in later to give my 2 cents as a new threadiverse user.
but I have to say I agree with the decentralized nature is a UX headache. simply because if someone isn’t linking in the right format, I’ll be kicked out of my instance and suddenly I can’t comment anymore.
it’s better in mobile apps. and there’s probably browser extensions to help. but still.
And for another, at any time users can view Categories of Communities, such as all things Fediverse, News & Politics, or Gaming, and now users can even create our own customized Feeds
I like the sound of this. Pardon the comparison, but it’s like multisubreddit. That’s one of the big things from reddit I miss. Making my own categorised feed.
your links and in @Irelephant@lemm.ee comment doesn’t work on Interstellar app. guess I have to pass my finding to the dev.
I use Private Internet Access (PIA) and that has port forwarding. I read something about it on reddit but forgot about it, so idk of there’s anything bad it controversial surrounding PIA.
I appreciate knowing both. I have a Lemmy instance account too.
@meldrik@lemmy.wtf thank you for your answer.
Thanks for shedding light on that feature on fedia. Yeah, I kind of did not find a need to do this. The question just crossed my mind yesterday and somehow I thought I need to know.
Cant read the article due to paywall
Woah, when did The Verge have a paywall?
in my two weeks of using lemmy/mbin seriously, I’ve had plenty of times federation isn’t perfect. mostly from what I understand it’s either because of defederation or someone never subscribed yet from my home instance. I did still have to open not my instance’s post.
