@LexxAstar Yes I would say it's more often a user preference. They have different interfaces, features and integrations. I understand Friendica for example has a Twitter add-on, and supports the diaspora protocol.

@tobias Thanks, I'll have to update in the next version to reflect this.
It would appear to be more like Diaspora is itself "a protocol as well as a service which other fediverse social networks like Friendica and HubZilla support".
@n1vux Excellent to hear! Thanks for the feedback.
@roelwillems @jon Ha. Nice. Follow up with a reply from the new account!
@jon Yeah I know. 😁 Unfortunately the joinmastodon site doesn’t help enough in guiding people towards choosing more appropriately in the first stage. Would be fun to brainstorm better signposting.
The option to migrate is good (I’ve done it twice now) but that also feels daunting for a lot of people.
@anubis2814 You commented with the exact same text on another post of mine 6 hours ago. Do you have an automated reply tool or are you just copy-pasting the same text on multiple posts?

@dinkompismia @LeoR1010 Vi flyttade ut på "landet" förra året. 30 minuters promenad till närmaste buss som går en gång i timmen på arbetstid. Jag stannar upp så mycket mer i vardagen nu och bara tittar runt omkring mig. Ser årsväxlingarna på ett helt nytt sätt. Har också rådjur som man kan glo ikapp med.
Just det här att man är så liten i helheten. Och att det är bra så.
@buildchimp Yeah I don’t like killing permalinks so my account will be left as it is. And I actually do automate links to my blog posts over there for the time being. I just never log in to interact or read anymore. It’s wonderful how healing it is.
@worldethicaldataforum Thanks for getting back to me. That is concerning also that my message never made it to you. I used the web form on your contact page here, maybe you need to check that as well: https://worldethicaldataforum.org/contact-us
Glad to hear you acting on it. Thank you.
@PavelASamsonov This Firefox addon appears to do just this. I haven't tried it.

@Beantin Agree. But not as few as the number of Facebook metaverse users. 🥁😄
@PavelASamsonov I used to have a text replacement shortcut that typed my handle.
But now I just copy and paste the url of a profile or toot into the search box on my own instance to access it "locally". I think that works for most use-cases?
@emilymbender My advice would be to migrate from mastodon.social (which is the biggest by far, as it is the one most people tend to choose by default). That server will always struggle when there is an onslaught of signups (and is why they turned off new signups for now). Significantly smaller instances don’t struggle wth this and I would even say they are a preferred choice because there is less noise in local feeds.
@amxmln Ah, thank you!
@g0g0gadget Nice, I didn’t know that!
@crystalenka They wrote a bit about it on their blog. They follow standards for forms, and a bit more.
@paul Ah, very cool thank you! I don't think I had seen that one, and yet the colors remind me of how I illustrated Mastodon instances in my blog post 😅
Isn't it something like this you mean?

@tze @tarkowski These all seem like formidable goals. Are there ongoing initiatives for working in this way, or maybe a better question: what would be the best first step for getting involved in something like this?
@gustav Alldeles säkert jag också på den tiden jag kodade mer.
Nu ska det vara fixat.
