No, sadly.

I like FediLab.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to get an image direct link from Pixelfed with it being a file name with 200 characters in it? I would use Pixelfed more, but the image URLs are just ridiculous. They aren’t bad if you use the link from the sharing menu, but that links to the album and I’m wanting a. Link just to the image.

Okey doke.

I believe Funkwhale is the federated version of this.

That’s just the way the Federation federates.

It’s like… is he doing this on purpose?

Buffy for sure. I’ve watched it through several times.

That’s exactly what I meant, they don’t need Threads, it’s all public (except possibly email addresses?) , but @bighi@lemmy.world commented to me and said it doesn’t work that way, so now I’m secend guessing myself.

Either way, they can scoop all that post data up anyway, to me the data is almost becoming a red herring. IMHO, Facebook’s history of being a platform of hate-fueled content, violence, trolling, social manipulation, etc. is of greater concern.

I’m also wary of the day that Facebook is the driving force of the Fediverse due to it’s sheer size. All those users come along with a great deal of inertia, and Facebook could end up being the mega-Corp who decides all the protocol standards forcing others to keep up with their “contributions” or get left behind.

It’s my favorite Mastodon client. Would be really cool if you could just swap over to a Lemmy account.

You mean like one app to rule them all, something that can access all corners of the Fediverse? That would take an awful lot of work, but there’s already Fedilab, which can access multiple accounts on Mastodon, Peertube, and Pleroma. I don’t know if they intend to integrate more though.

I don’t want Meta to harvest my data, so I would never make an account there

The nature of federation means that you don’t have to make an account there for them to harvest your data. They probably do it already.

Weird question - if you change your email address, is the change you made, and the old and new email address now federated out to all the other instances, meaning in a hypothetical leak, both email addresses get leaked? Or would only the newest one be saved and federated, and therefore leaked?

Admins on Lemmy can see it all too if the want. It all gets federated between instances.

I quit visiting Reddit.

Well good, maybe they’ll stay on Reddit.

A lot of people are fresh off of Reddit and are looking for an exact clone of Reddit, which is fair enough. They don’t understand Federation and think Lemmy needs to stop doing it, lol. Like, Squables is that way - - - >

I thought it was satire at first 😂

https://fedi-search.com is pretty great

Man, I hope that doesn’t catch on.
