Social Media Reimagined

This is a companion to Fediverse Futures on Social Coding to elaborate the Fediverse from high-level, non-technical perspectives, brainstorming our visions and dreams.

We need a more holistic approach to fedi development and evolution. We need product designers, graphics artists, UX / UI / Interaction designers, futurists and visionaries to join the dev folks. Everyone is encouraged to join here and enrich our views on what Fediverse can be with diverse and different viewpoints, and to stimulate brainstorming, creativity, thinking out-of-the-box and crazy, wild ideas.

Some guidelines

Please read the Social Coding Community Participation Guidelines for more information.

You can see and comment Lemmy posts from Mastodon.

Oh really? Can I join mastodon servers on the lemmly app?

That is not possible. It is more that Lemmy allows you to expose your community and posts in it to the entirety of the (microblogging) Fediverse. While e.g. from Mastodon you can comment on posts created in Lemmy, you can create posts in a community. For that a Lemmy account is required. But the post and the comments are seen on timelines for interactions and you can also boost them, for instance.

It is like retweeting.. unlike on Twitter you can't add your own comments to the boost.

On twitter if you Like a tweet, then the algorithms pick it up and it may go 'viral'. This doesn't exist on the Fediverse. A Favorite / Like is just a heads-up to the author, who sees it as a notification. So boosting is what's needed to spread posts to other people's timelines.

@TimothyMcFuck Basically it re-share the post to your own timeline. Kinda like sharing the link to a post.

If you want to see an example in action, you can take a look at my mastoton profile
https://mstdn.fr/@narF
and you'll see some posts that are from different users. These are posts that I boosted (re-shared)

@TimothyMcFuck friendca federates with pretty much everything including lemmy. As seen with this self demonstrating reply from the nerdica instance.
