@panos brought up something interesting recently, which is that Lemmy communities don't boost everything (at least when viewed from Mastodon), but just the original post.

I wasn't sure whether this was intentional (because 1b12 definitely specifies that everything is boosted, replies and all). The only explanation I can think of is that 1b12 boosts activities, and Mastodon doesn't understand that, so it's actually an implementation quirk that causes Mastodon to not actually see the entire conversation.

NodeBB used to Announce(Note) and Announce(Create(Note)), and it meant that Mastodon was seeing everything. This was desirable from a synchronization standpoint, but it meant everything was going into Mastodon user feeds, which was @panos' concern.

I think Guppe (which is kind of like 1b12? Not sure) boosts everything, but again, am not 100% sure.

@caos Hattest du nicht auch mal ausgeknobelt, welche Gruppen in welcher Reihenfolge erwähnt werden müssen, zumindest von Mastodon aus?

Also, erst Friendica-Gruppe(n) (vermutlich auch Hubzilla-, (streams)- und hypothetische Forte-Gruppen), dann maximal eine Lemmy-Community (vermutlich auch ein Mbin-Magazin oder eine PieFed-Community), dann Guppe Groups?

The long-running Fediverse group service Guppe will shut down on 31st May 2023 if it doesn't receive enough funding to cover its costs:

@Twitter_expat 🧩(Fedi Resident) @maegul @Fediverse News @Fediverse Hosting Discussion Careful, "community" may already have a meaning, depending on where in the #Fediverse outside of #Mastodon you are. If someone has spent several months in a Mastodon community (= server = instance), then discovers that there's a Fediverse outside of Mastodon, then decides to move to a different project which uses the term "community" for something else and another term for servers/instances, they'll end up confused.

#Streams actually uses "community" in the sense of instance already now.

#Friendica, on the other hand, uses "community forum" for groups (groups in the #Guppe or #Lemmy sense of discussion groups). The term "community" refers to the entirety of Friendica users, also because it's being maintained and developed by its own user community now. Friendica calls its own instances "nodes".

FIND YOUR COMMUNITY! - GUPPE GROUPS

#Guppe brings social #groups to the #fediverse — making it easy to connect and meet new people based on shared interests without needing to know the specific hashtag that everyone in that community is using at that moment.

By simply selecting to follow one of these group accounts, any post where they are mentioned will appear in your home timeline as if you were following the person making that post (even though you may not be).
This is great for communities to form around a common interest.
It also potentially helps remove spammers using popular hashtags from your feed as you don't need to follow the tag if you don't want to.

And the cool thing about Guppe Groups, is that if one doesn't already exist when you search for it, it will be created automatically for you.

NOTE: Just be sure to remove the tag from any replies that don't need to be blasted out to everyone. 😉👌

To #Guppe creator,

Something needs to be done with the following:
1. cross-posting
2. off-topic content
3. boosting replies

For #1 and #2, I have no idea what can be done with those other than a constant reminder. Maybe add a feature for assigning moderators for these "accounts"?

Cross-posting is fine if it's on-topic, but there are people cross-posting with 3 to 10 groups, and not a single group is related to the content.

For #3, I think boosting replies should be disabled, especially since are cases when a boosted reply is disconnected from the original post, the context is lost in the fediverse.

The original content should be more than enough, at least the context is easier to track down.
