@social.beaware.liveJust a tip for any new developers in the Fediverse space:
If you're making any sort of "search" function to browse Fediverse posts, make sure that it respects people's "Discoverability" settings in the Mastodon software.
This might not be the easiest thing to do.
However, given that 73% of people on Fediverse are interacting with Fedi strictly through Mastodon, you don't have much choice.
If your project gets widely known and you're disrespecting people's privacy options, you'll be highly vilified and probably Fedi cancelled.

Does the feature that makes posts based on hashtags come from Mbin or just Fedi.io specifically?
It's quite annoying to have people constantly attempting to dunk on you for upvotes and failing.
Might have to block Fedia.io
I suspect this will go there so hi fedia...😒

I wish there was an easy way to browse threads Fediverse content.
I'm sure there's many accounts that have federated that I'd enjoy, but I don't know they're federated or even know that they exist.
Same for bluesky.
I could go there, but there's no way to tell who's federated.😩

Kinda weird and sus that some Mastodon instances aren't respecting deletes....
Had a post I deleted last week that just got replied to, from a mastodon instance.
And people wonder why casual users don't wanna be here...🤦♂️

Apparently I have a habit of finding out about Fedi projects ahead of time. Causing me to get excited and leak them before they're announced.😅
That's either whoops or hurray!
Still trying to judge which it is.🤣
Posted about BridgyFed before Ryan announced it was live and just found out I posted about sub.club before it was announced officially.
Ya'll not very good at hiding things tbh! :kek:

As a single user instance, I'm glad to see something slighly positive from Mastodon finally.
Still no word on better moderation tools for small instances, though.
Maybe someday.

Just seen someone unironically call Fediverse, "The Mastodon Network".
I don't have the energy to correct them anymore.
I, for one, refuse to bow to Mastodon overlords.
To each their own though.😑

When discussing BlueSky, it's not entirely correct to say that "everyone is on the same server".
I used to think the same way.
However, I've been informed over time, by very knowledgeable people that it's more complicated than that.
If you're knowledgeable about Fediverse and how the protocol works and are interested in a comparison, I posted a detailed explanation of my understanding of how BlueSky works and what I believe are it's shortcomings here:

Did you know that Pleroma, a Fediverse software, has the option to make "followers only" posts that reach their instance, public on their instance if they choose?
They can also automatically deny deletion requests if they want.
It's always important to remember that there's very little privacy on the internet. If you post something, even if it may seem private, always has several ways of going public and existing forever.
Pretty much everything on the internet is public and will not be deleted on request.
Screenshots and internet archive also exist.
If you don't want your post to be seen by most people, don't post it.
You are not safe just because the software or platform you're using says you are.
