  • You can get some of those interop in Mbin and piefed. Lemmy just takes a while to develop. You can already see Mastodon threads in Mbin. But I see your point, the overall protocol implementation is ALL over the place. Its very hard to keep up with what supports what.

    It is evolving when you get on the beading edge. Its usually the even smaller stuff like snac2/piefed/mbin/gotosocial etc… its all over the place.

    Honestly what I want is the ability for mastodon to act like an RSS feed instead of one big wall. Have each individual as a separate feed. Because my current gotosocial/mastodon is flooded with people that post 30+ times a day somehow drowning out people that post 1/2 times a blue moon. Im working on something that may do the job in the future, but the code is VERY raw so it may never see release.











  • Things that your community wants to see get upvoted.

    Things your community does not want to see get downvoted.

    If you get rid downvoting you get rid of the vehicle for removing things your communities dont want to see.

    If you dont want to see what a bunch of randos are agreeing/disagreeing on, maybe try to find a site that does? Because this is the internet in a nutshell. I dont hate you by downvoting you, im saying to others, hey this person has nothing to say that is important here. And the website pushes that content away from that community via the score. I think lemmy still lets you see the downvoted comments but other fedi services just remove the comments/posts OR hide them automatically. I know some software even removes the post/comment before it even hits the servers. Fedi is powerful in that we can do what we want with the data we get.

    I just dont understand your point of view sorry. Maybe if you implement the solution I can better understand.

    Its pretty easy to fork Piefed and other such fedi services. Give it a go!

    I made mastodon clone where the hashtags are organized like they were lemmy/piefed/threadiverse communities. It worked really well! GL!


  • You know, I could see a feature where if someone mass downvotes a certain percentage of your posts, then block them in some manner.

    Like if someone made a script to downvote ALL your posts or something of that nature. But I personally havent seen something like that in the fedi before. But it was something reddit had a problem with. Bots downvoting so their own posts got to the top before anyone else.

    I dont think blanket blocking downvoting people is a good thing though. As others have said,it will undermine the purpose of the voting, for visibility.
