friendica (DFRN) - Link to source
so did i get this right:?
the main thingy is mastodon
the protocols are open
there is more (like friendica, diaspora, ...?)
my instances server fetches all that stuff from all the other instances (over time)?
so can mastodon users see my screaming into the void (i understand @endless screaming now)?
or can i just see their posts and interact with them, as my instance crawls anything available?
are there cutoffs / limits / if not shown after timeout never seen?
is there a way to get back to the post i tried to comment on which disapeas after i am finished typing (as coming from facebook i alsways type in an external editor, then paste, not to provide biometric typing data)...
aaand: i create my bubble over time by using #tags? or by the tags defined in my profile? or both? or is there anyhow some kind of algorithm filtering and selecting what to show (feels mind blowingly open but somehow lonely the same time)?
do i need followers or friends for it "to be like at ..."?
will somepwny even read or answer this?

people can follow you if they have an account that uses activitypub protocol. so that includes sercers running mastodon, sharkey, misskey, akkoma, gotosocial and many more.eg my server is using the snac software and I can still see your posts and get your dm even though you use friendica or whatever it is. the best way for ppl to see your posts is if people share ("boost") them to their followers. and they will usually only see them via posts if they follow you or in some cases if they search a hashtag. so it takes more time to find ppl abd for them to find you than the creepy algorithm commerical operators with their "suggestions” but a more fun place to be 🙂

@🦆Ⓑⓡⓔⓣⓣ🍉🐡🐧 then i got it protocol wise i think. Friendica crawls the most of them as my search for an alternative to doomscrool in resulted in...
So if i post on an instance, that instance broadcasts it to any actively listening instance?
How does a new one join in?
Is it broadcasted hop by hop? (i saw week old posts recieved recently)?

CC: @arti@friendica.world

it can broadcast to all instances (snac does that by default) but that is very inefficient (as there are like 40,000 instances or something). But normally when you follow someone, both servers yours and theirs, keep a record, then if you post something it just sends a message containing the post to each follower's account, like an email almost. AFAIK that's the normal way it works.

@endless@friendica.world If you want to be global, the main thing is not, in fact Mastodon, but Misskey (there are many more users because Japan has fully embraced it). I see you from Sharkey (a Misskey fork). I don't think there are cutoffs for time - it's just that most people look for new posts. As far as getting back to a post - that depends on your client/instance/platform. I can't say for sure about Friendica because I've never used it.

Fedi.Tips

Hi Arti, welcome 👋

If you need help have a look at fedi.tips and feel free to ask!

Your instance notices accounts and posts based on what your instance's members do, there are also optionally groups and relays pushing posts to your instance. (An exact list is at fedi.tips/which-posts-and-acco…)

If your instance hasn't noticed something, copy-paste its address into your instance's search box to make it notice.

There is no algorithm, it's all posts from accounts you follow.
