Friendica timelines are compelling


Als Antwort auf Ada

@Ada #Epcyon claims to have this, I'll prolly be finding out in the next month or so. I think #akkoma might too, that or #calkey
Als Antwort auf Seph Harrison

Calckey doesn't. Calckey has a beautiful interface and threading, but it's not post/reply centred in the same way Friendica is.

@Ada @Ada Gotcha. With all the forks there are, it's hard to keep track of what they add, and then there's all the little pieces like #Epcyon and #micropub
Als Antwort auf Ada

Just something as simple as the little Link to source button(?) on each post that Friendica has would be quite welcome in any of the other interfaces. But maybe one that links to the full thread or at least shows the original post.

@eshep What I really crave is for it all to be available without having to click on anything, without relying on the back button or popups.

I mean, those features would be nice too, but I don't think they'd reshape the timeline browsing experience in quite the same way

@Jupiter Rowland @m@thias.hellqui.st @Ada In addition, Mastodon unfortunately only displays the content of other #Fediverse software in an incompleted and unattractive way. I have tried to illustrate this in this thread with posts from #Peertube #WriteFreely #Pixelfed #Funkwhale & #Mobilizon from the perspective of Mastodon #Calckey #Hubzilla & #Friendica:

@defcon42/Mirko I think it is also a matter of taste as well as habit. I myself also find the microblogging view very confusing because the context is missing and the text tidbits all get shuffled through.

But for those who like it, Mastodon or other microblogging software is certainly a good choice.

It's just a pity that many of the services are not made known to the outside world outside the Fediverse. There are also many people who use or have used Facebook, Google+ and the like. But it is hardly known that there are alternatives in the Fediverse that go in this direction and have more or different functions..

@defcon42/Mirko @m@thias.hellqui.st I think you might be misinterpreting the goals in posts like this.

I came to the Fediverse on Mastodon. I'm an admin on a Calckey, Friendica and Lemmy instance and maintain accounts on them all. I still have my original Mastodon account too, though I don't use it much anymore.

The reason I make posts like this is because it's the diversity that excites, it's the fediverse that excites me. It's the fact that it's open and expanding and people can find whatever experience they're looking for.

I want people to share my excitement about the future of the Fediverse, whether they're on Mastodon or another platform!

@Natasha Jay Longer piece, hm...

If you can live without comments, you may take a look at #WriteFreely. Or if you can live with on-and-off developer activity and the recurring feeling that the project will be abandoned, try #Plume which does have comments and a built-in image hoster for your convenience. Both use Markdown, by the way.

Essentially, anything that's labelled something with *blogging and that isn't Mastodon can do longer pieces. #Hubzilla even has an "articles" app just for that which comes with the side-effect that mobile Mastodon apps will always open links to articles in a Web browser and show them like they're supposed to look. But you always have some distraction around the text whereas WriteFreely and Plume are at least as plain and clean as Medium.

Als Antwort auf Jupiter Rowland

@jupiter_rowland Thanks, I had #WriteFreely on my list to look at for this ... will look at the other options too 👍

Even Calckey seems to have a hundred additional options vs Mastodon and it's taken me 5 months to uncover in Mastodon I can follow a group of hashtags in a column eg (Cats + Caturday+ CatsofMastodon), but only if I use the Advanced Web Interface ...

I mean there's a LOT to unpack "here" in the :fediverse: as it's totally (totally) not a Twitter replacement despite the MSM calling it such, which is just plain wrong

Usually because you follow the author... and now it is also possible to follow hashtags.

Yes, this is where Friendica truly shines. I actually had a screenshot of exactly how it looks like in Friendica if one of my contacts re-shares/re-toots one post. In the attached screenshot that action is by the green arrow (far down). Friendica then pulls in the thread of posts that belong together, and show them as a clustered thread in the regular flow (note that my setting for that is ”Latest Activity”, so one can chose a different view if one were to prefer that).
