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.

There are steps being taken in the right direction.

'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better
Reply in thread
> None of this "Universal Star-child" bullshit.
Bang on. It's the same reason I couldn't stand Discovery. There's a universe ending problem and you alone are the key to solving it? Blech.
Fan fic with higher production values.
I think Batel was a well written character, otherwise.

Fedicon 2025 is currently taking place. All the videos are being posted in this PeerTube account
I think maybe posting each individual video to this community might be helpful so individualized discussions could take place.

What are the forum-like communities that are federated?
Reply in thread
Unfortunately it actually isn't. NodeBB (me!) and Discourse are the only two forums that federate.
NodeBB has full two-way support with discovery features, Discourse is mostly broadcast-style (i.e. you can't find Lemmy posts from Discourse)

What should the subset of the Fediverse that is Lemmy + Mbin + PieFed be called?
Reply in thread
@[email protected] NodeBB here, agreed.
It really is the most succinct nickname to describe the type of software we are... and I feel that outweighs possible association with Threads.

@[email protected] it is! The in-development stuff I'm working on makes it much easier to post directly to a Lemmy community.
This is probably the first, yes. It was also a bit of a live test at the same time.

@[email protected] hate to break it to you, but Nokia sold their brand to HMD Global, and their new phones are ... lacking in the indestructibility department. They are hefty though, I will say.
I owned two of them, and I got the ones that worked well. Some of the QC was wonky too.

There's a lot of discussion of Mississippi's age verification law for social media today, after Bluesky announced they're blocking the state.
Thanks for posting about this [email protected]
I'm interested (in a tired defeatist way) in what I need to do to stay on the right side.
It sounds like geoblocking is probably the quickest legally safe course of action, so perhaps it's bye Mississippi too...

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.

‘Star Trek’ series beams into Hamilton
If you live in the GTA, you should definitely check out The Cotton Factory! Cool art and makerspace.
Unfortunately in one of the sketchier parts of Hamilton, but that seems to be par for the course for these types of places.

what fediverse software is similar to lemmy?
There's NodeBB if you want a forum/BBS style UX for the threadiverse!

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!
