Why does this post look like a scam?

Shall I make you some popcorn too?

:D

Not that I have any sympathy for them but technically speaking, can we say “Microsoft does X” when it was just a “brand protection LLM”?
For sure they chose it to be an outward connection but are we really now stating that an LLM can represent a company? I feel like that’s both “you are stupid for using LLMs that way” and empowering LLMs at the same time

Not as USB but maybe this would work for you?

For some reason if you copy the url when on Mastodon.social and paste it into browser it redirects.

If you want to see this community on Mastodon, go to some mastodon server, search for fediverse@lemmy.world and scroll down. You will find your post with our responses etc

you can’t access Mastodon

Small nitpick. Lemmy communities are present on Mastodon and can be followed and replied to by Mastodon users. One can see a comment written by someone from Mastodon. We only can’t follow a Mastodon user or Mastodon tags from Lemmy

Example: https://mastodon.social/@VoxAliorum@lemmy.ml/115167313865117114

What is it?
From one of the projects

Agregore, a browser for the distributed web, facilitates peer-to-peer data sharing without central servers, supporting protocols like BitTorrent and IPFS for direct loading and sharing of content.

So instead of putting stuff (like my webpage) on a server, I share it P2P? But then my computer has to run 24/7 which basically makes it a server, right?

a json blob

So in a way it’s similar to https://joinmastodon.org/verification ? A two sided reference between identity and profiles?

What is a Mastodon relay?

DID as a permanent, global ID you own, independent of any server

So there would have to be another server, hosting my identity? Would identities somehow be federated between identity instances?

Maybe you need to wait a bit for federation to kick in?

I don’t have links at hand, but from some other questions I know that federation is not “download everything the moment someone looks at another instance”. Basically follow something and wait until some new content appears on origin instance. If after that you don’t see the content federated, then it’s time to start asking around

I was thinking about that too. And you know what? After taking part in Mastodon, then Lemmy, now PieFed and discovering PeerTube I now more identify as a Fediverse user than a user of one of the parts

Fediversling/Fediverser lacks an unofficial-official name too, btw ;)

@Sony@lemmy.world

Sorry, I’m not sure:
You don’t know about the mastodon unofficial bots reposting from X (without interaction of person postingon X) and Lemmy unofficial bots and sometimes whole instances following RSS feeds or those somehow don’t fit what you aim for?

@rozodru@lemmy.world

How about a button? So instead of searching after every page load, the search would happen only when the user clicks “check on Lemmy” button in the search bar or in the extensions tray

FWIW, in my feeds that is on the same level as it was for some time now

Then how would they sell access in a deniable way?

Ah, you mean for fediverse to work as an LDAP?

My point is Let’s imagine we have a board on some instance. You use your account on another instance to ask the owner of the board to give you access to the board. The contents of the board are, IMO in most cases of such boards, “members only”. So any changes happening inside should not be sent out to federating instances. Otherwise, privacy of such boards would be at the mercy of privacy of other instances. If restricted changes were sent out, technically speaking, any server it federates to can choose to show that content to everyone. Which means you won’t be able to access the contents via any other instance. Apart from the logging in part, you will still need to go to the instance hosting the board. Unless it would be for publicly accessible boards only, like codeberg issues. That use-case could work

How would you see it work? IMO such boards are mostly for personal/organisation use, not a social space

Rules per se, I guess, no. But I feel this is a little bit ill-placed. Look at other posts in this community, it’s rather about open-source news and discussion than specific support for an app

I guess you might have better chances in some Android community, if those operate similarly to the Linux ones
