This is wonderful, thank you so much!

I’ve been holding off from switching to Android (and getting a GrapheneOS x Pixel phone) because I have 5 years’ worth of messages on Signal on my iPhone… I’ll look into this method for sure

Oooh interesting! Could you please elaborate / share any resources about this?

I’m now hosting my own Pixelfed instance (as of Tuesday). I really like being in charge of my own server…

The drawback I’m seeing is that Explore and search sometimes yield no results.

Like searching for “Nikon” just now results in “no content found” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Even if your Mastodon instance is federated with Threads, you can still block the whole domain from your account. Explanation / walkthrough here: https://mastodon.social/@_elena/113797840274825233

Thank you for your comment – OP here (of the blog post).

**Calckey.world **is a Sharkey instance (a fork of MissKey). I LOVE IT SO MUCH, it's my favorite Fediverse software so far... I'm planning to write about it soon for my blog.

Yeah DeepL is NOT part of the Fediverse - I used it to translate a comment from Portuguese to English. Still my favorite online translator but my husband also uses ChatGPT for those purposes and I've been really impressed by its quality, too.

Loops.video just launched - it's the Fediverse's answer to TikTok by the creator of Pixelfed, FediDB, etc. It's not active yet, for now you can register your username, but Dan has yet to onboard users. I believe he said he needs to upgrade to a new server because of all the sign-ups.

Linux phone: yeah, I cannot wait to build one. Definitely my goal for next year - as well as a Linux computer :)

Hello! Apologies for the belated reply but I was out of town and offline most of the weekend. Yes I'm seeing this in Lemmy too (and Mastodon). Gotta check PieFed now :)

Thank you for another great recommendation 🙏

Thank you for the feedback and the testimony – original blog post author right here 👋 I'm glad to hear you were pleasantly surprised and I appreciate the tips about opensource.com and The Cathedral and the Bazaar - made a note to look it up and read it.

one more interoperability test, this time from Lemmy.world to a self-hosted new Friendica instance. Hello @jerry@my-place.social - let me know if you get this! 👋

🥳🥳🥳 grazie! 🙏

Original article author here 👋🏼 thank you for posting the link to it @Ludrol@szmer.info - I was afraid what the reactions may be 😅

I’m writing this from the iOS app Voyager - interestingly, I didn’t get any notifications about the mention (my Lemmy username) but found the post organically because I follow the Fediverse community.

After a day of testimonies (from users on Lemmy, Mbin, Mastodon and Friendica) I am now determined to write a follow-up post with more interoperability tests.

I realize some of the problems I encountered - federation-wise - may be due to the particular instances I was using (on Lemmy and Friendica for example) not the software, so I’m going to create new accounts on other instances and try out interoperability again.

By the end of this I may find myself with a dozen Fediverse accounts LOL 😅

Thank you again for the great feedback and tips, I really appreciate 🙏

One more - testing Lemmy -> a different Friendica instance… ciao @ferrante@poliverso.org 👋🏼

two more: @elena@fedia.io @elena@piefed.social

Testing out comment federation, please don't mind me 🙈

Pinging @_elena@mastodon.social @elena@friendica.opensocial.space and @elenarossini@pixelfed.social (because, why not) 🙈

interesting! thank you for the tip :)

Thank you for the explanation! May I quote you in my (future) blog post about Lemmy?

I'm holding out hope that one single Fediverse identity will be a possibility in the future. Discussion here: https://thenewstack.io/one-login-towards-a-single-fediverse-identity-on-activitypub/

Thank you for the explanation! Follow-up question: if you follow a Lemmy community in Mastodon, do you feel like your feed is filled with messages from that community? Like, does it get noisy fast? (But I'm thinking if they show up as boosts I could simply filter out boosts in my Ivory app)...
