Assembling a second dynamics (analog compressor). First one took me over 8h of work.

Mastodon is part of Lemmy?

I hope you understand how this is discouraging: at present, federation is anything but straightforward.

There’s also a question of perspective. If you approach federation with the mindset that it will be like the sort of SSO you get with using google products, microsoft ecosystem, or facebook to log in to many websites, then yes: it’s doesn’t look straightforward.

If you approach it with the perspective that the coupling between fediverse applications being more loosely coupled, and have the way email work in mind, then it is actually more natural. Each application can do their own thing, and provide all or partial compatibility with the fediverse. Think of a blog application, which rely on the fediverse only for the comment section of each blog posts, but also does other things specific to that application. Taking the example of email again, nobody thinks they should be able to log-in to microsoft outlook using their gmail account, or to gmail using their home-made account, in order to read and send emails.

There’s a narrative aspect to it too.

Wouldn’t that overload popular instances even more? Right now, popular instances only need to accommodate their users, but with a “fediverse-wide” auth, soon they’ll also have to serve content to people who followed that popular link to their content?

Is it so desirable to sent even more info, this time potentially non-public, if you decide to interact with the other instance?

This includes partial information about your online identity, namely identifying you uniquely. Not all instances should be considered trustworthy, so your log-in token may get re-used by a malicious instance to post things in your name here and there. Kind of a silly situation, favorable to spammers for example.

Have you tried the archive link? There’s no need to sign in with it

Users can already do so, what would instance-level block bring?

!worldnews@lemmy.ml too

All 35 of us :d

@Danatious@lemmy.world ? I start typing @Dana… and then I get a popup to autocomplete with the user name

I shouldn’t have generalized, my bad. Let me rephrase: they are on my blacklist. Mainly because I get jumped by popups every time I try and focus to read something nice somebody wrote there…

Speaking of sucking… Medium is on the blacklist.

Now we just need to wait and see if Reddit takes the bait and joins the fediverse too, as an attempt to stop hemorraging users. grabs popcorn

Best thing that could happen is that reddit would respond with a surprise “we too” will federate with you all, and implement activity pub. Then you have two big actors competing on an open playground. And we grab a drink and enjoy the light show.

What format is that? It’s 5U but it’s using small jacks?

Go rip some old disco and go crazy? At least that was a successful way to onboard my MPC. Kept bumping into roadblocks, watched some youtube tutorial, continue, etc. Rince and repeat.
