@julian i don't think this is a 1b12 thing per se, it's more that mastodon is biased toward individuals over communities, and a lot of its activities are private and not forwarded, so you never get the full context unless you follow everyone involved.

on the other hand, 1b12 says entirely too much about the types of everything. imo it misuses Group, Page, and Announce (arguably).

i also would prefer something more browsable

@trwnh@mastodon.social said in The unreasonable effectiveness of 1b12:

Absolutely

That's in a nutshell what I'd like to achieve in 2025. The building blocks are nearly all there.

@julian well, the building blocks are kinda there but they're assembled pretty weirdly. i'm wondering how you feel about deconstructing that and maybe publishing semantically correct activitystreams documents as an alternative interface to html? it's a more "web" approach than a "fedi" approach, but i do think it could be a good fit for nodebb at least philosophically wrt "you shouldn't have to mirror the entire network". a linked data browser like browser.pub could make use of that data...

I've signed up for a Lemmy instance (feddit) to try that, waiting on approval.

testing now registration has been approved, @evfan@feddit.uk
feddit doesnt seem to have a 'follow' option for any users

@eeeee sorry, what is this is in response to? i'm not sure i understand what you're trying to say

Hi, I had replied to you earlier but Ive edited that post since in my testing of Lemmy

ok this is half working, seems I can reply to this nodebb post from feddit, but none of the other replies are showing here.

@evfan@feddit.uk correct, there is a bug with sending replies to Lemmy at the moment.

@eeeee fyi @trwnh@mastodon.social won't see the full conversation unless you directly reply to them. If you use NodeBB quick reply it's actually a reply to OP.

@evfan@feddit.uk @eeeee the federation issue with Lemmy has been hopefully resolved with the latest commit to develop
