nodebb and discourse are working on activitypub support. See https://crag.social/@devnull/111732273308478221

I use TiddlyWiki via TiddlyPWA. It’s an offline-capable PWA with builtin sync and encryption. It doesn’t have folders but it does have nestable tags. I don’t think it supports markdown out of the box, but I’m positive you can find a plugin to use markdown. Plugins are crazy easy to install in TiddlyWiki; you just drag and drop the plugin into your wiki window and confirm the installation.

TiddlyWiki via TiddlyPWA is what I use. I don’t know if it supports the S Pen and the notes are all saved in a single HTML file.

This is exciting. I think code forges are one of the biggest opportunities for ActivityPub to really go mainstream and change the internet. Not only because it’ll make working with open source way easier since you can work with any compatible forge, but developers will be more exposed to ActivityPub just by working with the software and so more likely to participate in AP dev. It will be interesting to see what effect this has on the fediverse. There’s been a lot of talk from various organizations/companies but this will be the first large project adopting AP. I’m interested to see how development goes for them and for other fediverse projects.

I wonder what changes it will force on Mastodon. Masto won’t be the biggest project anymore and won’t be able to throw its weight around as much. Just like the recent influx of users forced the implementation of full text search and has reenergized conversations about quote posts, I think federated gitlab would force masto to rethink some things.

If Mozilla open sourced it years ago like they promised, it could be picked up by someone else.

I think you’re right that the best response is no response, but the protests do have an effect beside driving traffic. Investors won’t want to be involved in a company at war with its userbase, so if protests are loud and long enough it could mess us reddits IPO plans. So for the users who just aren’t ready to give up reddit, spamming protest comments is probably their best bet.

Yea it could definitely work for those but I don’t think it’s limited to those.

Because what use would a bodega be on it’s own? They aren’t large enough to have the inventory to replace a supermarket.

I didn’t mean the store would have to be a bodega; that was just an example of a small store sustaining itself with that size customer base. I meant that it could be a small grocery store, one that doesn’t qualify as a supermarket. And like I said, if we’re talking about a whole district, there are multiple buildings available so you don’t have to get everything from one store. You could have a butcher in one building, a produce shop across the street, the grocery store with just nonperishables beside that, etc.

These kinds of commercial districts with nothing but office buildings are terrible sad places to be. I’m not sure why anyone would want to live in such a depressing place.

Because they don’t have many other options. We’re talking about affordable housing, which is needed by people who are increasingly getting priced out of non-depressing areas. And areas like what I’m describing, with small, locally owned stores colocated with housing with shared ammenities can be incredibly vibrant communities. You could even close off the interior roads and make something like the superblock concept that’s been growing (I’ve heard about it the most in relation to neighborhoods in Spain).

Say you get 100 apartments out of it, you can’t run a supermarket on 100 customers.

Why does it have to be a supermarket, though? From what I’ve heard, New York City has bodegas everywhere and those are small convenience stores that have similarly sized customer bases. If the bottom floor is a small market, they have a nearly guaranteed 100 customers. And in your hypothetical commercial district, there would be more than one unused office building so more opportunity for mixed-use space.

We’re talking about converting unused office space into affordable housing, though. Charging half the rent would qualify it as affordable housing and is still better than no income from an unused building.

A lot of my posts from a couple years ago have been getting comments recently, so that’s probably part of it

I’m sure there are special cases where residents would need bathroom access directly from their apartment, but are there any good reasons for private bathrooms, other than convenience?

To me, one of the most interesting things about converting non-residential building to residential is the potential for different ways of living. A shared bathroom and kitchen with offices converted into living space surrounding a communal area could lead to a more communal lifestyle for residents.

Rereading my comment, it comes off a little brusque so I want to clarify a bit. I think user-defined multireddits are a good feature and could exist alongside my own proposal. Users having more control over their own feed is a good thing.

But my proposal has a different goal, which is to reduce duplication of links and keep conversation more centralized. It’s not a feature most users would even be aware of because it’s only manageable by community mods.

Community Grouping #3071 is an issue I created and it’s specifically not related to multis. Its purpose is to allows mods to unite their distinct communities into a logical community.

But #1 is predicated on #2. If developers are aware of the risk of EEE, then they won’t try to remain compatible with Meta extensions, which means development of the open AP ecosystem will continue at the same pace.

Yes I read that and explained why I don’t think its relevant. Facebook can’t slow down progress on the fediverse because:

1. progress is already slow. The fediverse has been in development for 15 years and still is a clunky, niche network and likely will always be less polished than large corporate networks.
2. Every developer on the fediverse is aware of the EEE playbook and next to none of them will try to remain compatible with any corporate extensions.

I’ve never really understood the EEE argument here. XMPP was an open proptocol, Google embraced it and attracted users, then extended it and took those users away. But according to this article, Google didn’t extinguish XMPP. It’s still around and serving its niche community.

That’s already the situation the fediverse is in. This is a niche community and there are already existing social media companies that the majority of internet users are on. If Facebook joins the fediverse, it brings billions of new users to the fediverse. If they then leave the fediverse, ActivityPub will still be here and all of us on the real fediverse will still be here, in a niche community. Everyone here has already chosen the fediverse despite it being a clunky, unpolished, niche network. How is EEE a relevant fear for the fediverse?

I should have checked the issue tracker before posting this. There’s already an issue related to community discovery at https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2951

They abuse the subject field which I think lemmy ignores. name is a separate field that is used for the title

It’s not as common to push users to apps on desktop, but its a tried-and-true practice on mobile. I’m sure companies would do it if they could, but app stores and app lockin aren’t as strong on desktop as on mobile
