  • Don’t be that pessimistic, most user had to install the Twitter and TikTok apps. The fediverse experience is already quite OK if you have a dedicated client but the problem is that not everyone does, which is why we need browser support; people are tired of “wOrKs bEtTeR iN ThE aPp” even if it’s true this time. A dedicated URL scheme will automatically associate Fediverse links with the aporopriate app. There are still other issues such as hit-and-miss cross-platform compatibility, no API for retrieving the list of federated instances and lack of errors if the source and/or destination instance block each other.



  • Ironically, the thing that would allow people to use one “twitgramface” account across all the various platforms is federation. But the only way I can imagine it being seamless enough for normies is native browser integration for ActivityPub, perhaps with a new URL scheme like apub://.... Basically, save a Fediverse account in your browser, and when you open a foreign-instance link someone sends you, you’ll see a prompt:


    How do you want to open this link (apub:)?

    You can browse this content via your instance and interact with it with one of your saved Fediverse accounts, or choose an app you have installed:

    @yourusernamehere@lemmy.one    ︿
    @example@fedia.io
    @user123@mastodon.social
    Voyager (vger.app Web App)
    Tootle (Local App)

    ☐ Remember my choice for feddit.nl
    ☐ Remember my choice across all instances

    Accept Reject

    Why am I seeing this?    ︿

    This content is on feddit.nl, which is an ActivityPub instance that 3 of your saved Fediverse accounts federate with. To use your account, open this link via your instance, or select Decline to use feddit.nl’s default web interface.


    So far, only browser extensions can do this, and not very well at that. Of course, all ActivityPub instances and clients would need to adopt this URL scheme whenever a link is shared between users, and the downside is that Reddit, Instagram, Twitter etc. will never recognize apub: links. Do you think something like this can ever happen?





  • Cool, sure, but how many of these are actual color? I’m guessing 2 but it probably depends on definition (does contrast adjustment count if hue is retained?)

    Edit - Alt text found in original post:

    A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites[1], orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

    Surprisingly many: white, pink, red, orange, green (probably) and yellow. (The well-known Neptune image is false color; Hubble deep-field is IR but that is redshifted so IDK, may be “real” color too.) Too bad white, pink and red are Earth’s atmospheric phenomena, of which only the aurora is really space-related, and green is just a satellite photo. Still, within NASA’s scope I guess, and better than “artist’s impressions”, which is all we have for non-solar-system bodies’ surfaces; or pictures of NASA-made objects.



  • imagine thinking sex was negative or morally questionable

    I think lots of Christian denominations find it a necessary evil. I did too before I became an atheist. Still, I think the platforms are so afraid of showing age-inappropriate content to someone they’d rather stash it away to somewhere nobody finds it unless explicitly searching for it.
