Would be interested in more detailed followup about the search. Anything in particular stands out?

Federation issue: posts and comments from beehaw accounts don’t show up on other instances - Beehaw

That’s great that you spent some time researching this – good job, I didn’t know about this caveat, thank you for informing me. However, I have no affiliation with the company and recommend to ask about this issue from Beeper team directly.

Element is in full right to multi license their code

Maybe they agreed on different license (paid for it) with element directly

btw, just to let folks know – there’s a similar community from our federation friends !Videos@nrsk.no

Unlike in SU, where the housing was indeed really affordable, you might even say “free” (as in “beer”, not as in “freedom”)

Thank you so much for getting it this far. People like you make Open Source going. Alone for years, mounting thousands of hours behind the screen.

Yes, this is a tough time to battle for place in messenger space. But there will be the time. Hope you’ll take care of yourself and be fresh to guide future collaborators.

Once again, thank you very, very much for your efforts 💙

Tbh, birdsite exodus is not that huge at the moment. It seems like it’s going to peak at 800k users per week. With 10% of active users, we have a whole one-two months before the count of new users will be equal to old ones.

Admins have time to react, users have opportunity to tell newbies about the culture on fair grounds, founders have a moment to adjust their development strategy for larger userbase. With 1 mil of new users per day we wouldn’t have all that.

Praise the lord Thank Musk, birdsite hasn’t shut down completely yet

The community I’m talking about amounts 10k+ users on discourse and 3,5k+ users on Reddit. I’m sure that size in this particular case isn’t the issue.

Once again, following activitypub is great in my book (for standardisation purposes) but having a federated feed with all the comments is detrimental for specialized forum imo. See the reasoning above your comment.

Praise the Lord! Indeed, I’ve never loved trains so much before Tesla 🤣

You can delete all the information and lock yourself out of it to make it inaccessible tho

Specialized forum is very structured space while image boards are very free flowing. In a lot of forums you must read a lot of contextual information before writing even your first ask for help.

Single federated feed robs you from this context and people start skipping the rules or shitpost. With that in place old timers leave.

I answer support tickets at reddit and discourse regularly (for the same topic). It is day and night how much more knowledgeable and thoughtful people are at discourse. While at reddit people tend to insult each other for no reason and engage in holy wars under SUPPORT ticket.

On the other hand, promotional posts don’t work nearly as well at discourse compared to Reddit.

Tldr: people come to Reddit for curiousity filled entertainment while at discourse people come to help others and receive help.

I like everything in one place and being able to interact with everything from one account.

Yes, as I said before, single sign on (SSO) would be great at discourse as well

PS I would like discourse follow activitypub but I’m sceptical about federation
