1 million new accounts on Bluesky as Brazil bans X, and premium feeds with Sub.club, and much much more.

pffft. i hate how they gloss over the not-so-federated system bluesky is using. its the same walled garden twitter ever was
This is just not correct. It runs on a protocol - anyone can create software that uses the same protocol and communicate with Bluesky users as equals.
Were they right to develop their own protocol rather than to improve upon AP? Probably not. Is ATproto completely dominated by Bluesky? Yes. But is not like Twitter.
I can - and do - communicate both ways with Bluesky users through Mastodon and Bridgy Fed. That would simply not be possible with Twitter.
the proof is right there…in the fact it requires bridged accounting rather than just bridging the protocol.
when i see a 100% independent bluesky instance including the internal router, ill believe it.
as it is, you have to beg them for access to their network (inclusion in their proprietary routers) or have accounts on their servers. thats not open federation.
Its less open, but its definitely federated. Whether its a walled garden or not depends on the definition ;)
not a single independent instance exists to communicate with it. i wouldnt call that federation
Hey @[email protected] quick question: how would I go trying to get this Wordpress blog to show up in lemmy as a community? Are we able to fetch like that yet? Thanks!
Please open an issue for this if there isn’t already one. Then I can have a look once the summer holidays are over.
have done so
Have nice holidays!
Thanks!
I thought it was only possible through a plugin that must be install on WordPress site. I have no actual knowledge though…
God I’ve written a virelangue. That was not my goal.My guess is that it’s not possible (yet) to follow from lemmy. However, you can follow and interact from Mastodon.
The Lemmy update notes in June said something about improved interoperability with WordPress though
If I don’t want to use email, is there a way to always get this newsletter in my Lemmy Inbox?
I don’t know if that’s possible. I subscribed to it via RSS.
@[email protected] If it’s available as an RSS feed, you could probably get @[email protected] to create a Lemmy community for you.
It is and I could. I’d be fine doing it, but why not just read them when they come up in [email protected]? I’ve been trying not to create communities that are going to be duplicates or spam, or split the user base between one way of reading articles and another way of reading articles. Do you want it as a DM, maybe?
I think an even better way would be software that can follow the original Wordpress feed, if they have one, but Lemmy can’t do that right now.
