Maybe check out NodeBB. My recollection is that it’s a federated server software for forums that can interface with at least Mastodon and Piefed (probably Lemmy and Mbin too).
I believe I’ve seen some content from a forum in the past, but it’s tough to tell, as I think they just show up the same as any other threadiverse instance (a post in a community on an instance).
I’m not sure how you’d search for them though…
Happy to have another chapter. Nice writing :)
Thanks for sharing where you’re at (I’m curious about author stuff) and I’m happy to hear you are going to publish.
Please feel free to hit me up when you do, so I can support you :)
The added context your link to your previous story helps. Thanks :)
Your writing is fun and the plot is interesting, are you thinking of turning this story/character into a full short-story/book/novel? I’d be interested in reading more.
That was a fun read thanks for sharing it :)
Thanks for letting me know about the new scene.
I like it and think it adds a nice little happiness for the protagonist who needed some after the first scene :)
I’m not sure about the last sentence. It’s not clear to me what is meant. Is it that the protagonist will rewind time to before her death and then run off with her (to protect her) and leave everyone else to die?
If they can rewind time, and have done so for the equivalent of 1000s of years, I feel like “losses” would be insignificant and routine. I’m sure it would be exhausting, but at the same time, they could just do a few lifetimes of vacation to counter the burnout and then get back to trying to save the world.
Although, if they had watch Ev die or be with her as she dies, I could see that being extremely taxing on their psyche. But again, the few lifetimes of “running away”, I think, would allow him to recover. Though maybe this is pre- his first vacation lifetime and he’s trying to justify the “vacation” run to himself.
Well I’ll end my stream of thought here, hopefully it’s clear I like it and find the scene interesting. If we’re lucky, you’ll be interested in writing to some more prompts in the future :)
Edit: just saw you had previous posts and read them. Enjoyed those too, though had difficulty following the “I still do not understand. It’s a religious letter.” scene. First time reading through it I thought it was a conversation with 3 characters, but now I think its just the vampire and demon.
That was a great read. Thank you for sharing :)
You might be interested in the Pylova Piefed fork. It’s from the contributor that this post about Rimu deleting the other side of the story is from (Quokka).
I haven’t had many interactions with either of them (Rimu and Quokka), but if I had guess which is the problematic one in a situation is, I’d guess Rimu.
Yeah, it definitely feels, to me, like the current world/society is built to be competitive rather than cooperative :(
I would suggest a few things. First, be genuinely open minded to the discussion/topic (as in your opinion can change with a good enough argument.
Second, I would suggest using “feeling” language as much as possible. Examples are: “I feel like that will cause an issue with…”, “my understanding is…”, “my thoughts are…”, “from what I’ve seen/read the setup is …”, etc. From my perspective, feeling language lowers the “absoluteness” of statements and makes conversions easier by changing them from arguing absolute truths, to discussing lived experiences.
Third would be to reframe the discussion/argument from “you vs them” to the two of you vs a problem/issue and you both are working together to find the answer. This somewhat goes with being open minded.
Fourth, I don’t think works too well in online discussions, but in person I find starting from a base situation and asking the other person their thoughts on it, and adding your own, works well. So, start with a base situation and then adding a little complexity each time you both agree on the outcome and reasoning. Once you’ve found your divergence point you can start having your discussion about the pros/cons of different approaches/solutions to that specific situation.
My understanding, using the federation-email analogy, defederation is like yahoo mail and gmail users not being able to send and receive emails from each other. In this case lemmy.world and lemmy.ml can’t see each others users/communities/posts/comments/votes (someone can correct me if I’m mistaken about any part).
Zedstrian@sopuli.xyz just made a post about instance defederations. TL:DR of the post is only 3 instances/servers have any significant defederation (>5%). 2 “tankie” instances (lemmygrad.ml [67%] and hexbear.net [64%]) and the porn instance (fedinsfw.app [13%]).
No worries :)
The threadiverse (roughly the reddit-like part of the fediverse) is pretty small (~43k MAU), so if something doesn’t exist and you want it to, your probably going to have to start and build it yourself.
I was kind of off-put by that initially, but I kind of like it now. It’s kind of like building your own little space and people can come check it out and see what you’ve been building and contribute if they feel like it. I created fedilytics (Fediverse-Analytics) a couple months ago because I was curious how the fediverse was doing. It’s not particularly active with other people (got first non-me post yesterday!), but I mostly built it for myself and enjoy anytime someone stops in to talk in the comments.
If you do decide to make a community in the future, I’d suggest making the post in the community and then cross-posting it, to a larger relevant community, to increase traffic to your post (as many people just stick to their subscribed feed).
If you provide some of your interests/hobbies, we can probably be more helpful.
That being said, I think these are a few active and interesting communities:
Regarding places to avoid, I don’t think anyplace needs to be avoided, per say. Politics can be problematic, if you go into those posts.
There’s no real algorithm, so you need to curate your own feed. In general, I’d suggest, if you see a community that could interest you, just subscribe. You can always unsubscribe later (if it turns out not to be what you want), but getting a denser “good stuff” home feed is beneficial.
By the same token, I’d suggest blocking communities you have zero interest in (helps filtering, so you come across more content you are interested in when browsing “All”). If you run into a problematic user, report (if they have done something reportable), block, and move on.
If 2 communities are posting the same content and you get tired of seeing double, I’d suggest removing the community from the bigger or flagship instance (ex. Lemmy.ml, Lemmy.world, Piefed.Social).
This would have the effect of distributing the communities across the threadiverse rather than having them bunch up on a few. A problem with bunching can be if an instance goes down, they take their users/communities with them. Most of the medium/large instances in the threadiverse are stable, but it has happened in the past (Lemm.ee).
My understanding is this should be much less of a problem in the future, they are working on making user profiles and communities transferable between instances/servers.
Note: there is an active autism community, if that’s of interest to you.
That’s strange behavior.
Are all the other “views” working correctly (local, subscribed, all)?
Apparently I like War, Mystery, and Comedy. List:
Andor: Is great, even if you aren’t a Star Wars fan. Each 3 episode arc is better than the last. Only planned as 1 season, but did so well they made a Season 2 and Season 2 is better. You can use Rogue One as a cap to the series.
Veronica Mars: watched all of it for the first time this year. It holds up 20+ years later.
Ted Lasso: Comedy about a college American Football coach coaching English Football/soccer.
The Good Place: Strangely a philosophy heavy comedy. It slows in places, but is absolutely worth watching.
Schmitt’s Creek: Comedy about unlikeable rich people becoming poor. It takes a bit to start, but each season is better than the last and nails the landing.
Possibles:
Altered Carbon (Season 1): Great murder mystery set in a cyberpunk, dystopian future.
Shogun: Medieval Japan samurai “game of thrones”-esk show. Only planned as 1 season, but did so well they are making a Season 2.
Band of Brothers: War show about American rangers in WW2.
Haha. Yeah, I should pay more attention. Thanks for explaining it slowly for me :)
Didn’t .World defederate from .ml?
OP can you see any .world communities or posts?
I’m subscribed to it, so I don’t think that’s the issue. But interesting that it is federating to other instances.
Haha. I liked it. Thanks for sharing another chapter :)
