@hpod16 very interesting! Thanks for the write up!

@nitrml @hpod16 Yeah, was gonna suggest that as well. We can boost that post.

@hpod16 @nitrml Thanks, Hannah.

@nitrml you're right about the share button.

I was more thinking about the overall coverage to refer to "fediverse" instead of only "Mastodon". But I'm not a hard liner there. Better mention Mastodon than nothing at all.

@hpod16

@hpod16 sure. The fediverse basically is a network of services that can communicate with another.

Mastodon is one of these services offering a micro blogging service like Twitter.

Pixelfed for example is a service for image posting.

So these services have different features, but as they're connected to the fediverse, people from Mastodon can follow and communicate with people from Pixelfed.

I'll leave out the technical blob on how this all works but it just does.

Does that make sense to you?

@hpod16 Awesome! Should probably move right to the top of the sharing options.

Maybe it would make sense to migrate to using the term "fediverse" as well. Away from the product Mastodon, because there are also other products available and competing with their commercial counterparts like Friendica (alternative to Facebook), Pixelfed (alternative to Instagram) and Loops (alternative to TikTok).

(Not to mention various smaller projects and forks or alternatives to Mastodon as well)

@hpod16 We need more press coverage of the fediverse and stuff like "share on fedi" next to "share on Facebook" and the like. It should be normalized for media and business to be on fedi as well.

So from your standpoint you could fight for public press releases of the EU to include links to official fedi accounts for example.

Thank you for asking!

@FediTips thanks for the reply. Apparently @LaLe87 can't see the original post from this reply:

@LaLe87 what app are you using? Do you see any error message?

@Arschleder
@LaLe87 Das mit der Whitelist wäre mir neu.

Es gibt aber ab Mastodon 4.5 glaube ich so eine "Prefetch"-Funktion, die sowas verbessern soll, aber ich bin da nicht tief genug drin.

Let's ask @FediTips

We've noticed that sometimes we can't see the original post of a reply although it's a public post. Is that a "federation issue"? Thanks a lot! ️

@jabu @LaLe87 @Arschleder

@Arschleder @LaLe87 Ja, da könntest Du Recht haben.

Aber die bekommen bestimmt schon genug Views.

@LaLe87 Ja, kenne ich. Ich habe auch schon ein paar Leute gemutet oder auch die Boosts ausgeschaltet.

@Arschleder

@LaLe87 Oh nein!

@Arschleder

@LaLe87 Hmmm. Ich würde auf einen Mastodon-Bug tippen, aber da Du und auch @sharonmarkley auf mastodon.social sind, kann ich mir sowas wie "nicht geladener Post" kaum vorstellen.

@Arschleder

@LaLe87 Hast Du den Account vielleicht blockiert? Der Post scheint nicht follower-only zu sein.
