Replacing LW with another option works too.

I strongly believe any discussion around federation/centralization should be avoided when bringing in new users. They will figure it out themselves and if they feel like it make adjustments accordingly.

LW is fine. This a community dedicated to a niche video-game genre. The community already existed, just had very few posts.

1. Sign up on lemmy.world
2. Pick some communities to subscribe on https://lemmy.world/communities?listingType=All&sort=TopMonth&page=1
3. For mobile get the “Voyager on Lemmy” app (available on Android/iOS) and log in with your lemmy.world account.

There likely are (I quit Twitter over a year ago), just because it does unique coverage on many topics.

“chill out zone” 🙃

Some context on what the community is about would be helpful.

I believe it’s a Star Trek instance and a smaller instance that’s called lemmy.one or something like that.

Good to see another instance defederate from ML. Now if only more of the non-tankie communities moved off ML (it’s slowly happening).

What’s are you on about? There is no centralised censorship. Every instance can make their own decision around whether they want to federate with ML.

I reached out about this a few months ago. Admin mentioned it’s on the TODO list, but I haven’t seen any progress.

Not be annoying, but if you start a federated forum, if you are bothered enough to pay for the domain/hosting, you might as well make sure federation actually works.

Just my perspective, I could be wrong.

New posts works, but sometimes I can’t see my own posts (new or otherwise) when accessing incremental.social with my LW account.

Perhaps the admin should reach out to other instances admins to try and figure out how to resolve this.

Good initiative!

I wish incremental.social would fix their federation issues; it’s been unpredictable and janky for what seems like many months.

Best option is to not click on any content related to Musk with the exception of “need to be informed” type news reports. Even adjacent things like SpaceX etc.

Cheers!

Posting to multiple Lemmy communities is not a big deal (you can always crosspost with a Lemmy account).

Links are taken from Activitypub attachment, but Mastodon only seems to support image attachments. So it is not possible to add other types of links unless Mastodon adds an option for that.

This IMO kills the whole Lemmy <> Mastodon integration outside of some very, very simple use cases. The ability to have differentiation between a heading and a URL is critical.

It’s too bad Mastodon doesn’t seem to support the URL function of Activitypub.

Mastodon is by far the biggest fedi micro-blogging platform. I recognize the irony of what I am saying considering I want people to move from Reddit to Lemmy, but for niche topics like tycoon/business sim video games, my point stands.

I get that. I would argue the use case I described is basically the bread and butter of Mastodon <> Lemmy integration (if you don’t want your posts to look like shit on either Mastodon or Lemmy).

The critical drawback for me is that you can’t have hardcoded URLs/images/headings across both Mastodon and Lemmy posts.

If you can’t do that, you severely restrict the scope of integration between the two platforms. This is a net loss because the content I post on !tycoon@lemmy.world is arguably relevant for both forum style discussions and micro-blogging.

Ah, this is a critical drawback.

I am basically back to square one:

Mastodon image attachment/Lemmy thumbnail is mandatory from my perspective. Otherwise, I might as well leave the current situation as is. You want clean posts on both Lemmy and Mastodon,

Btw for their benefit, adding the context: post with feedback and questions on Lemmy-Mastodon interoperation.

What does this refer to? A github thread on a feature?
