"DOOM is a classic game to implement on a variety of platforms, but doompdf by [ading2210] is one we didn’t see coming. It runs a bit slow and controls are a little awkward but it does run. Entirely within a PDF file, at that."

Pinetta is under development: "A FOSS, federated, ActivityPub-enabled pinboard thingy, in the style of Pinterest.". I don't know anything else about it, but only discovered it on this list: delightful fediverse apps ("A curated list of server applications with support for the ActivityPub protocol (known as the fediverse) and related standards.")

That is probably the default setting. However, you can also set Pixelfed to display posts without an image. I don't know where exactly, but Pixelfed users wrote this because it has been asked about it several times.

[-] caos@feddit.org 3 points 7 hours ago

Maybe it works the same way with Pixelfed as it does between Mastodon etc. and Lemmy? 🚀 A little guide on how to communicate with Lemmy from Mastodon Friendica Hubzilla Sharkey etc..

I have not yet been able to test it with Pixelfed because I don't have an account.

[-] caos@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago

Yes, I also find that another problem with Mastodon, that they display posts from other software so poorly or incompletely (e.g. with Peertube not the video description, not all images etc.). And I share your view of the desire for dominance in the Fediverse and there have been corresponding conflicts between developers in the past. One point of conflict a few years ago was that the Mastodon dev didn't want group functions, so Mastodon can't create groups.

But I still don't quite understand what you mean by the problem “do not appear in an orderly manner”? What does that have to do with groups?

[-] caos@feddit.org 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

But if you click on an OP on Mastodon (whether from Lemmy or wherever) , there is already a thread view that is quite ok and shows the structure and progress chronologically.

You may have to click twice in Mastodon because you can't see in the timeline whether a post is an OP or a reply to it.

[-] caos@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

"mastodon users can overcome the serious problem of not being able to view Lemmy communities in an orderly "

This is generally the way Mastodon displays posts, that they do not appear in an orderly manner. Mastodon does this with all posts, No matter whether they come from Lemmy or Friendica, Akkoma or Mastodon. This has nothing to do with Lemmy. Posts/replies in Mastodon always appear individually and without context in the timeline. In the timeline, the latest posts/replies (Mastodon does not differentiate between them) always appear at the top, then many other individual posts, then at some point the question about the reply from above and so on. (I personally find that very confusing, but this is probably the common microblogging style and one of several reasons why I also prefer Friendica over Mastodon, because Friendica has a very good thread view, which I miss in Mastodon)

... but thank you very much for the tip that Racoon also works well with Mastodon. A very good tip for Mastodon users! 👍

[-] caos@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

Yes, thanks for the hint. I'd heard that before, I'll try to update it bit by bit. In the linked article about kbin I had already added a note and linked to mbin.

We are also looking for someone to write an article about mbin for the Fediverse article series for gnulinux.ch. If you (or someone else) would like to do this, please get in touch. It could also be written in English and we will then translate it.

🚀 A little guide on how to communicate with #Lemmy from #Mastodon #Friendica #Hubzilla #Sharkey etc

(this is the English translation of this German post: anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1… If something is linguistically incorrect or incomprehensible, please let me know)

Lemmy is a kind of forum software in the #Fediverse: You can subscribe to forums (called ‘communities’ in Lemmy), share links and participate in discussions. @Tealk and I have described it in more detail (in German) here.

On the one hand, you can follow #Lemmy accounts, in which case the posts will appear in your timeline and you can reply to them, share them, etc.
On the other hand, you can also create posts in Lemmy communities from Mastodon etc.

Follow a community:
The easiest way is to type the account name in full into the search or copy the URL into the search field. This applies to communities (e.g. [ät]fediversede@feddit.de) and Lemmy accounts (e.g. @caos is my Lemmy account) as well as to individual posts in Lemmy (e.g. feddit.org/post/201081 is a post in Lemmy).

Creating posts in communities:
You can create posts in Lemmy communities by tagging the community account
(It should be a public post)
If the community account is tagged with @, it will share the post and the post will also appear in the forum.
For example, this is a post I created from Mastodon in feddit's #Tischtennis forum: metalhead.club/@caos/112749905… ... and this is how it is displayed in Lemmy: feddit.org/post/556495

The only thing to note from Mastodon and Akkoma etc. is: The beginning of the post/the first paragraph becomes the title of the forum post, as Mastodon does not have a heading field. (see also: Instructions Creating a post from Mastodon)

So it is best to start the post like this (see image 1):

This is my headline (as descriptive a title as possible)
@community@lemmy-instance
This is the further text, link etc.
if necessary a picture (only in the initial post a picture is transferred from Mastodon to Lemmy, between Lemmy and Friendica all images in answers are transferred in the meantime)

Send post to multiple communities / groups at the same time
The post can only be sent to one Lemmy community at a time. If several community accounts are tagged, the post will only appear in the last one mentioned. If several different group accounts are tagged in a post, the Lemmy account should come first. According to my tests, it works in the following order: 1. lemmy community 2. friendica forum 3. a.gup.pe group . Then all groups share the post, otherwise it doesn't work with all of them so far.

Search for communities
You can search for interesting forums/communities either on an instance page or here in the ‘Lemmy Explorer’ (see image 2).
If you are interested, enter the URL in the search field and follow the account.

If you have found an interesting community, you can copy its URL into the search field to follow the community account (see image 3) or enter the handle of the account in the form @communityname@lemmy-instance (in Friendica etc. also with !).

The past posts are then often not displayed, but those that come in the future will appear in your timeline.
What is not possible from Mastodon etc. is to create your own community. This requires a Lemmy or kbin account. Otherwise almost everything works (except for pictures in replies, which are not federated, see in detail (in German) here).

If you follow many or very active communities, it can get a bit confusing, especially in Mastodon. A clearer view is available if you view it on the page of the community itself, i.e. open it externally in the browser.
(the original URL of posts is sometimes hidden behind the #Fediverse logo)

There are also other public groups in the #Fediverse, e.g. Friendica-Forums and kbin-Magazines, which work in a similar way.

edit: kbin is no longer developed, the successor is its fork mbin

In my experience, I can't see any difference in speed between different launchers. But just try it out, install a few and then delete the ones you don't like.

[-] caos@feddit.org 12 points 1 month ago

The interface design is based on how iOS works, for example to move an icon on your phone long press one of the icons and wait till they all go wiggling and then drag the icon to where you want to have it.

In case you don't like the interface, you can also simply install a different launcher and set it as the default start app. There really is a lot to choose from: https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/tools_launcher?lang=en

Lyrics „Alone“:

This is the end of every song that we sing The fire burned out to ash and The stars grown dim with tears Cold and afraid The ghosts of all that we’ve been We toast, with bitter dregs, to our emptiness And the birds falling out of our skies And the words falling out of our minds And here is to love, so much love Falling out of our lives Hopes and dreams are gone The end of every song And it all stops we were always sure that We would never change and it all stops Wе were always sure that wе Would stay the same but it all stops And we close our eyes to sleep To dream a boy and girl Who dream the world is nothing but a dream Where did it go? Where did it go? Broken voiced lament to call us home This is this end of every song we sing Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go? Broken voiced lament to call us home This is the end of every song we sing alone

"The reggae-heavy track ‘São Paulo Motoboy’ is dedicated to the motorbike couriers in the Brazilian metropolis, who race through the dense traffic like invisible superheroes every day under precarious working conditions. Musically, the song expresses the hectic, chaotic atmosphere of the city: driving rhythms and a raw sound reflect the restlessness and stress of urban life." (transl.)

Lyrics

Motokero chegar Antes da chuva cair Motokero entregar E fugir no ar Disparado Disparado

Avenida Marginal, motoboy na pista Jogando o destino Calor assassino e veloz
Em cada curva um amor tecedor A vida no retrovisor, não fica parado Formiga em ação Minha moto é um avião São Paulo afogado Tráfego danado Fluxo quebrado Minha moto é um avião

Motokero chegar Antes da chuva cair Motokero entregar E fugir no ar Disparado

Asfalto molhado, duro, danado Bem olhar de lado Joelho ralado Minha moto é um avião Surfando o Minhocão Quebra mole, vai pra o céu Para-choque vai pra o chão

Motokero chegar Antes da chuva cair Motokero entregar E fugir no ar Disparado Disparado

Tanta gente na parada Tanta gente acidentada Motoboy caiu no chão Caiu na fumaça Caiu e levantou O joelho que dói Quebrado o farol Tanta adrenalina Cheiro gasolina Sucata voadora Minha moto é um avião Quebra mole, vai pra o céu Para-choque vai pra o chão

Motokero chegar Antes da chuva cair Motokero entregar E fugir no ar Disparado

Motokero chegar Disparado Antes da chuva cair Disparado Motokero entregar Disparado E fugir no ar

Motokero chegar

Translation: "Hello everyone, In the last few years I have created some individual music compilations (CDs + playlist / download) as birthday presents for friends & relatives. The concept is that the compilation contains one song per year from the year of birth to the current year.

The music spectrum: 🎸 🥁 The focus is on party-appropriate #rock music (#alternative #indie #crossover #grunge), then partly supplemented by the individual taste of the recipient (so far including #punk #darkwave #medieval rock (soft) #metal #pop)

The oldest ‘birthday child’ so far was born in 1956. Since I know my way around that time musically, the 90s are strongly overrepresented, while my preselection in the 50s/60s, but also in the 2010s contains only little selection / variety. Further additions are also very welcome in the 70s/80s and from 2005 onwards.

*The next post contains the list (preselection) or an excerpt from it. * I would be very grateful for any relevant music tips and look forward to your additions!"

🎶 Musikalische Zeitreisen vom Geburtsjahr bis in die Gegenwart - Musiktipps erbeten für individuelle Geburtstagscompilations 💿💿💿 > Sammelthread

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe in den letzten Jahren als Geburtstagsgeschenk für Freund*innen & Verwandte einige individuelle Musikcompilations erstellt (CDs + Playlist / Download). Und zwar mit dem Konzept, dass die Compilation ab dem Geburtsjahr bis zum aktuellen Jahr einen Song pro Jahr enthält.

Das Musikspektrum: 🎸 🥁
Der Schwerpunkt ist partytaugliche #Rockmusik (auch #Alternative #Indie #Crossover #Grunge)), dann zum Teil ergänzt um den individuellen Geschmack der Beschenkten (bislang u.a. #Punk #Darkwave #MittelalterRock (Soft-)#Metal #Pop))

Hier haben auch im Fediverse schon einige bereits mit Musiktipps geholfen... u.a. hier

Das älteste "Geburtstagskind" bislang war Geburtsjahr 1956. Da ich mich in der Zeit musikalisch am besten auskenne, sind in meiner Vorauswahl die 90er Jahre stark überrepräsentiert, während die Liste in den 50er/60er, aber auch in den 2010er Jahren nur wenig Auswahl / Vielfalt enthält. Auch in den 70er/ 80er und ab 2005 sind weitere Ergänzungen sehr willkommen.

Der nächste Post enthält meine bisherige Liste (Vorauswahl) bzw. einen Ausschnitt daraus.
Ich wäre sehr dankbar für einschlägige Musiktipps und bin gespannt auf Eure Ergänzungen!

🔁 Gerne teilen #boostOk 🚀

Yes, it still largely works, but the web front end is broken. It works via apps or alternative frontends, for example: https://alexandrite.app/feddit.de

The main admin of feddit.de travelled abroad a few months ago and has since disappeared . The other mods couldn't fix the errors because they don't have the password for the server administration.

However, many communities have already moved to feddit.org because it is not foreseeable whether feddit.de will work again.

"Coldplay were the Saturday night headliner at the 2024 Glastonbury Festival. The band is no stranger to the Pyramid Stage top spot. In 2002, they headlined for the first time, with just one album under their belt. Fast-forward 22 years, they’re nine albums deep, and it’s the fifth time these Worthy Farm favourites have topped the bill, making them the only act to have ever reached this milestone.

They are a band who are continually pushing their live show to new levels, so expect a visual spectacle and to be singing at the top of your voice to a set list full of bangers!"
