Oh hellsite
It really would be so much easier to just boost Mastodon posts into a Lemmy community.
Hopefully whenever mastodon gets quote posts we’ll see something similar pop up over here.
You don’t need to wait on Mastodon to do it.
Obviously, I’m not talking about you specifically – Threadiverse devs generally.
For example, some of this functionality already exists on Friendica.
For sure! But considering Mastodon has most of the content that would be quote posted this way and most of the users who would be subject to it, and they are working on it (at their own pace), I think it would be tactile to see how it is implemented in Mastodon first and then proceed from that.
It could for example be that Mastodon users will be able to opt out of quote posts in general or in specific posts. If so, this should be respected in other implementations as well. And in general, it’s just nice to have things consistent, and when it’s taking the Mastodon team so long to implement I suspect it’s because they’re devoted to making sure they do it right. :)
Quote posting is already available on Misskey, Friendica, and Akkoma.
Threads also has that feature, and they use the same standard as Misskey.
Even Mastodon clients like Icecubes and Phanpy do quite posting.
At this point, it makes no sense to wait on Mastodon to implement features.
No doubt they’re taking their sweet time with it. Then again, knowing the Mastodon user base, whenever it is implemented people will probably go crazy and think it’s the biggest invasion of privacy since the gestapo.
By the way, here’s from Monday’s development update:
The team also made significant progress on the specification for Quote Posts. It needs a few minor changes, but we expect to publish it for comment in February, and start implementation right away. The current plan is to publish Mastodon 4.4 with support for displaying Quote Posts, and then add authoring in Mastodon 4.5.
Say, are you saying that it’s possible to take an existing Mastodon post, and post it into Lemmy? If so can you pliz point me to someplace that says how to do that? So far I’ve only seen this guide: https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1467-8270-7e3d-48d984455929 and it only says how to crosspost a new Mastodon post, not an existing Mastodon post.
Right now, you can crosspost to a Friendica group by mentioning the group actor handle (ex:
@fediversenews@venera.social. And because Friendica supports quoted boosts, you can boost to a Friendica group through this method.Lemmy could easily support this feature.
Are Lemmy devs aware that this would be a possible way of something to support?
I thought Lemmy already supported that. I’ve seen a few Mastodon posts around.
Mastodon users can post to the Threadiverse by tagging a community, but since we don’t have “quoted boosts”/quote posts, there’s no way of including an existing thread or post when doing so.
Maybe if they did something about their porn bot problem I’d be happier to see this
I’ll believe it when I see it
I’m sure I’ve read this headline before and nothing came of it then.
Why did you link to a Mastodon post and not the actual article?
The article seems well-written, except that:
the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.
Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we’re like “and others” lel… I guess they didn’t mention Pixelfed either tho and it’s a lot “hotter”…
That article is intended for casual readers. These people might be more familiar with Flipboard than Lemmy or Pixelfed.
The same way that people are familiar with Blackberry or Nokia despite none of them even reach mainstream market anymore.
All of you who were making a fuss over Threads had better act the same way about this - after all, it’s Verizon.
Verizon sold Tumblr to WordPress in 2019
Can anyone eli5?
Will it federate with AP platforms?
It will federate with other AP platforms.
Is it still the same SJW hellhole it was a decade ago?
Lol, people are still using SJW as a snarl world in 2025?
No, the word is DEI now.
I mean, come on people, it’s current year, not past year.
As with the fediverse, there are a lot of user curated blacklists to get rid of the problem children.
Just don’t trust shinigamieyes, that shit got taken over by terfs a few years back and now lists a lot of innocent trans bloggers.
Wait, what? That’s disappointing. I use Shinigamieyes, haven’t noticed anything weird yet.
Please no
Heaven forbid an open protocol see adoption.
