@Skavau @ieGod OK but you see how our goal is to make that stuff matter to users, right? Getting more users isn’t the goal.

I have never heard anyone complain that they have to choose an email provider.

@jonathan I’ll write an issue in the Friendica GitHub if you promise to similarly submit a bug to Summit. There are only 3 issue here, so I’m not suer if this is their perferred bug tracking location or not. github.com/idunnololz/summit-f…

@jonathan if I understand the ActivityPub specification like i think I do, I doubt either is actually out of spec, but both sides could probably improve robustness such that it is more likely that the post looks as expected.

@damon I do think whether some poly-centric protocols, like IMAP, SMTP, XMPP, and Matrix, are part of the 'verse is up for debate.

@damon

There’s people that don’t believe anything that isn’t ActivityPub is a part of the Fediverse

and those people are wrong. :wink:

@damon My only disagreement here is that NOSTR isn’t already part of the fediverse. Just like GNU is the system and Linux is one of its kernels, the Fediverse is the network and ActivityPub is one of its protocols.

@atomicpoet I’m not certain, but I believe @alex just decided to call his back end Soapbox BE (Back End) because it was getting too confusing to explain to folks that Soapbox was a Front end for Akkoma. What the difference is between the version of Akkoma you are running and the most current version of the Soapbox backend, I don’t know

@jonathan I did use paragraphs

I don’t know what to tell you if it doesn’t show on your client.

@atomicpoet changed it to Soapbox FE and Soapbox BE a year or two ago. I know I’ve never found a single Lemmy user or group either on the mostr bridge nor on my gleasonator.com account.
