@JoBo I just googled it and Kenya came up as the first hit in Search and in Bard.

Let him. Twitter is old news. Just like reddit. Irrelevant.
As long as federation exists … why does it matter? That is the beauty of decentralization, right?
Yup. @coolguides@kbin.social
Same here. My git needs are basic.
looks like it. !msocial {{{string}}
points to https://mastodon.social/tags/string
. So, !msocial Cats
searches https://mastodon.social/tags/Cats
.
Or just post here … 🤷♂️
Duckduckgo has a bang for Mastodon: !msocial
. Maybe we should start putting in requests for Fediverse bangs: !lemmy
, !kbin
, !beehaw
, etc.
It would be better if they would add !fediverse
that searches all of the sites. Maybe one day!
probably. So you could add it as a site search string; such as: site:lemmy.* OR site:kbin.social -site:beehaw.org cats
Not sure about your use case, but check out HackMD.
Before the fediverse becomes normalized for non-technical people, the tech jargon will have to be changed. Anytime a non-technical person hears server, instance, node, etc they glaze over in the eyes. These should be called something like communities or groups or clubs or something to tell people they are joining a group of like minded individuals.
After that, I do like the way kbin has used the magazine concept of magazine, article, post, microblog to describe the methods of communication within the “community”. Even though admittingly, it took me minute to grasp the jargon change.
The selling point is federation, but that name has to go, too. Sounds to techie or bureaucratic. I don’t know Connecting or something. Users need to understand that from their community, they can connect to (and interact with) other communities or members without having to join a whole new site. In that same sense, they can also block any community or member they do not wish to interact with.
Another selling point would be that if a community changes and you do not like it, you can just join a new one. However, this is not really a selling point yet because you cannot just mover your “profile” to another community. You have to rejoin and start from scratch.
Kbin > All > New is all you need.
I sort by new and subscribed. And my subscriptions span the fediverse. Plenty of new interesting content.
It gets more confusing when the instance you joined decides to unfederate and half of your subs stop working! Then you have to join a new instance and start over because subs nor usernames carry over.
