We should all pray that the LePen does not win the elections in April. Losing France as a supporter with quite some political weight would be a significant loss for Ukraine.

    Related topic, though not the same :

    Voyager app has a big blue button on the posts page, that leads to the temporary display of hidden posts (not comments).

    This is really useful for many purposes, I guess. for me it is useful, because I have some kind of inbox zero approach. I swipe away (hide) post that I have seen and do not want to see anymore . But sometimes I still want to see them again. Then I just press this button.

    Would be cool for PieFed, too! This approach could be applied to posts, as on voyager, as well as on comments, as discussed in OP.

    Now I do see Matthias post from friendica also here on Lemmy. Also, now I see on lemmy this post that I'm replying to and that I made myself on friendica.

    I still do not see on friendica the direct reply to OP that I had made on Lemmy. On friendica, I see only three direct replies to the original post. Significantly less than here on Lemmy.

    I wonder : it should work and display in both directions, I guess? How is this cross platform viewing and replying correctly called in fediverse?

    Pleasure. I don't know unfortunately which English speaking instances are very good.

    One more thing: in order to make it work for you, you really have to dig through the manyfold settings and somehow make yourself understand how channels and all that stuff works. Best would be if you had somebody who explained it to you.

    Friendica.

    but it is not cleanly threaded like lemmy or piefed. a developer said they will improve this a bit in the next version , but certainly not to the level of threadiverse.

    Anyway they have all kinds of technical fancy stuff regarding groups, hashtags, saved searches and whatever.

    I understand; clever and useful version of a social bookmark system :D

    Too bad, that you seem to have lost interest in bookmarking articles about Ukraine. Nowadays I have to read Reddit again, since i cannot read your and LaFinlandia's posts any more. but well, thx again for the months when you provided those interesting links!

    All the best wishes!

    A few months ago, I joined the lemmy platform and made my account here on lemmy.world. One of the first things I searched for was a community of my hometown, Bern. I was happy to find one and subscribed successfully (seemingly) : https://lemmy.world/c/bern@feddit.ch

    Soon I noticed that not much is going on there and I tried to activate life there by making a few posts. I got a few votes, but no comments. This didn't trouble me too much; I just thought that there were just very few users in this community and that those were very passive. I kept on making posts of which I hoped that they could be motivating people to get into active communication, or to subscribe, if some non-member found this community.

    Today I tried to subscribe to this community from piefed.social. I wanted to demonstrate a friend the interoperability of the two services lemmy and piefed. I couldn't find the Bern community, though.

    Then I realized that the whole instance of the Bern community (feddit.ch) had been shut over 2 years ago! I tried to dig deeper into this, and finally found this post announcing the shutdown of the instance : https://lemmy.world/post/12995344https://lemmy.world/post/12995344

    So my question is: is this community still alive and real? Or is it some zombie copy that I posted into, but it doesn't really live or it's not really visible or accessible to users on other instances, or maybe even on this instance? If so, shouldn't it be eliminated somehow?

     

    If I understand it right, the moderator of the mastodon.world instance has blocked several posts by Hasnain Kazim, as Kazim reported yesterday on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/661473263/posts/10163657720033264/

    Kazim is a quite famous and successful book author in Germany and something between left, conservative and liberal. He was journalist for the most important German weekly news magazine Spiegel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasnain_Kazim?wprov=sfla1

    Canceling his posts is stupid and certainly completely exaggerated. To me from the external perspective it seems that the moderator is abusing his power. He is damaging free and respectful discussion. Furthermore, when a famous person like Kazim reports those experiences to his broad audience, who do not understand the functioning of the fediverse, the moderator also damages Mastodon in general significantly, it seems to me.

    What do you think about this case ?
