Sorry, I wanted to say “it should happen server-side with an API so that both web UI and apps can use it”

Antennas are really a feature Mastodon is missing.

When I use Mastodon, I switch to Phanpy.social to have a slight better UI, but otherwise Sharkey/IceShrimp are really much better.

I use Antennas on Sharkey / IceShrimp to be able to find content I’m interested in.

But I usually prefer the Threadiverse format.

Is there a way to contact the admin?

It’s usually recommended to have a Matrix account or another Lemmy/Piefed community to be able to get news in this kind of scenario

Happy to help, let me know if you have any other questions!

Yes, that’s correct. The combining different communities is done via “feeds”, you can create your own or subscribe to preexisting ones

To be honest that’s a problem that can’t be solved by tooling, it’s a human issue.

I know why there is

• !buyeuropean@feddit.uk
• !buyfromeu@feddit.org
• !buyfromeu@europe.pub

If people don’t want to consolidate similar communities and just keep them existing next to each other then users have to figure out the differences (sometimes there are almost none) between two communities.

You can see the comments of both the post on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com and !buyeuropean@feddit.uk

When you scroll down at some point it switches to the other post

Are you using an app for Lemmy?

The link I sent should work on any browser

Mlem is an iOS client.

Crosspost comments consolidation has to happen in the default UI for everyone to be able to use it

Crosspost comments consolidation example: https://piefed.zip/c/fedibridge/p/794856/r-buyfromeu-asking-for-a-reddit-alternative#post_replies

You can post from the multi community/feed, you are then asked which community you want to post to

Not sure either

Fixed link (at least for Piefed): https://mastodon.social/@dansup/115678527443322224

it makes sense to be honest, the OP article isn’t really convincing

MSN was great

We have today more than 500 XEPs that standardize most of the core features of all the social interactions we can have online. And we are working actively on what is missing. 😉

No wonder inter-client interoperability can be sub-optimal https://piefed.zip/c/privacy/p/763572/looking-for-a-federated-alternative-to-signal-as-they-might-have-to-comply-with-chatcontro

See my other comment: https://piefed.zip/post/786779#comment_2663595

I found the demo instance: https://campground.bonfire.cafe/

Regarding the project itself, it’s supposed to be a mix of Mastodon/Piefed/Nextcloud

It kind of reminds of comments people made about “APub should not try to replicate corporate platforms, and just have the content available for everyone, then let the front-ends present it in different ways” in this thread: https://piefed.zip/c/fediverse/p/779852/is-pixelfed-sawing-off-the-branch-that-the-fediverse-is-sitting-on#post_replies

The execution however is less than ideal.

Bonfire seems like a very good project, I like the philosophy behind it (beyond platforms, like some criticism raised recently), but it’s a bit concerning that none of the instances seem to have any active users: https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list
