Why is data congregation so hard on Mastodon?

Lemmy and lots of other software use a fediverse extension called 1b12 to keep everything in sync.

In a nutshell it means Lemmy communities can follow other communities, and they keep each other in sync. The same applies for other types of communities, like PieFed communities, Mbin magazines, NodeBB categories, etc.

Mastodon doesn't have a concept of community or categories, so they don't support this kind of synchronization.

CMS/Newsletter plattform Ghost joins the fediverse

Heyyyy, I'm one of the "many more"! :laughing:

Seriously this is super cool. With Ghost and WordPress on the fediverse we're that much closer to connecting the social web and the world wide web together.

There's some concern that this doesn't really apply to the threadiverse, but it does, and I will work my damned hardest that it does. WordPress blogs already show up as communities here. Ghost blogs don't, but I will continue to advocate for it.

Theoretically, it shouldn't matter.

In the ideal case every connected server should host a full and complete copy of the data from the originating server (as [email protected] says, that's B)

Reality is a bit different, but not enough to warrant always picking B. Just share whichever you'd like, but B is the most right.

Levi McClain: Klingon Music Theory is Weird

To be fair, Human music theory is also weird.

A lot of what we teach our kids about music theory is rooted in the firm foundation of "it is this way because it just is, so just remember it."

Like why is the circle of fourths and fifths the way it is? Because it just is. Remember it. When you're learning key signatures why doesn't the key match the signature (D major is F# and C#,. but Bb major has a Bb and an Eb?!)? Because it just is. Remember it.

It's no wonder music theory gets completely lost on kids. It doesn't make any sense!
