To decide if I should merge the linked PR or not (I did merge it).

Thats even more verbose so the second option is better.

@DemocratPostingSucks@lemm.ee @Deebster@programming.dev @al4s@feddit.org Thanks for the feedback! Personally I prefer the first option, but based on your comments I will merge the PR with the second option.

The network is called Fediverse. I don’t see the need for a separate term, there also isn’t a “Tootiverse”.

None of that matters if Mastodon doesnt implement these suggestions or standards. And from past experience its extremely unlikely that they will. Thats why I think its best to ignore what Mastodon does, its not our concern how they decide to render things.

The automatic language tag should only depend on the community language settings and user language settings. Specifically it will build the intersection of both, and if the result only contains one item (excluding “undetermined”), that is used as the post language. The instance doesnt matter at all. And there havent been any changes in this area in a while, so there should be no difference between 0.19.x versions.

I thought maybe the community language isnt federated properly but its identical on all mentioned instances. Also @Camus@sh.itjust.works mentioned that French is enabled in user settings. There is clearly a bug but I cant think what else might be causing it.

Anyway please report such bugs directly on the issue tracker, otherwise I might not find out about it at all.

Thanks for the support. I think the era of single, centralized sources of information will soon be in the past.

1. This would be a project on its own, with writing import scripts, hosting an instance etc. Certainly not something I have time for, just like I’m not running a Reddit mirror for Lemmy. If you or someone else wants to set it up, go ahead!
2. How would you detect that it’s the same article, only from having the identical title? That could fail in lots of ways.
3. I agree about this.

Available Soon.

Dansup is well known for making grand announcements and delivering on them very late or never. I think it was more than two years ago that he announced federated groups for Pixelfed and still nothing. So I wouldn’t get my hopes up yet.

Maybe you can make some contributions to Ibis ;)

It can get a bit boring working on the same project for so many years. Having a different project gives me more motivation.

Thank you :)

Yes articles are duplicated in the same way posts are duplicated on Mastodon or Lemmy, so they wont go away. Moderation doesnt exist so far. There is a search field in the sidebar.

The link goes directly to Ibis where I posted the announcement.

The frontend is very primitive right now, but it could definitely be made to work without JS.

That is true but most developers are still on Github, which hasn’t been affected by enshittification yet. I also have to keep using Github because of Lemmy, so I don’t want to switch back and forth between two separate platforms.

However once Gitea starts federation we definitely want to migrate Lemmy to a selfhosted instance, and probably Ibis too.

I mean the drama about it is over. We are constantly working to improve mod tools but it takes time.

Sounds good, please share the announcement in relevant places.

Thank you!

Right but that’s already over. And anyway Ibis was mostly finished since some weeks, just needed some minor work to push it over the finishing line.

Interesting, maybe it wanted to tell you about this project :D

Nowadays I can easily handle all Github notifications within less than an hour. After the Reddit blackout there were so many notifications that I couldnt even read all the issues, let alone respond. So I had to unsubscribe from issue notifications for some months.
