One thing I’m trying to keep an eye on is sup. Not much information at all besides a snippet of 1 to 1 encrypted messaging for activitypub, but the tidbit of working with any fediverse account is interesting. Potentially that could help deal with the different fediverse implementations of messaging. Of course, like I said, this is just me making up assumptions, it could not work the way I envision it at all. The creator just posted something 5d ago about it with “soon” though, so I’m hoping to read more about it

The short answer is no but the longer answer for what happens in each situation was detailed here: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/1051

lemmy -> kbin = pretends to send but doesn’t

This goes up to 120 days:

https://kbin.fediverse.observer/dailystats&days=120

This question has plagued my mind for decades, because the main character of the tv show Eureka, Jack Carter, always answered his radio/phone with this. And to this day I have no idea what words he was saying or why he always said it. I had started to think he was saying “gofer” which is

An employee who runs errands in addition to performing regular duties.

But that seemed a bit weird for the sheriff to say

Just to add another concrete example, I saw a toot recently that .af may be risky, as some countries are beginning to implement embargoes; the person who had a domain there may be losing it soon

He did say it would be “federated this week” but in the next comment in that issue he made he said that changed “but it turns out it’s not easy, and I wouldn’t want to make such a big change hastily”. I don’t think anything has happened since. I definitely almost never see any reduces over here on a different kbin, so I think it’s still the same. There is still some discussion in that issue, someone just posted they have a PoC of doing it in a fork for instance.

There’s some relevant discussion here and in the thread linked by ernest in that post here. I don’t want to give any wrong information, but I don’t think activitypub has a spec for downvotes/reduces/dislikes, just likes and shares (boosting). So on mastodon dislikes definitely aren’t federated. I believe for lemmy, they federate between lemmy instances that have them enabled, but for kbin they are local to your instance.

Firefox runs really poorly for twitch and youtube videos for me in linux; mainly in CPU. Brave will use maybe 10-20% of my cpu for a single twitch stream whereas firefox uses about 80%. I use firefox for all my browsing, but for videos it just doesn’t seem to work well… Perhaps a different chromium browser would be better as you say.

You appear to be on kbin, so you would go to https://kbin.social/settings/general and under Homepage select “Subscriptions” and then Click “Save” at the bottom of the page

Edit: I interpreted this question as subscribing to things, and then filtering to only that on the main page, my mistake if you meant otherwise

I attended a talk in 2019 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee on Solid, which sort of seems related to what you are getting at. The idea being that you own your data/identity, and can decide to share it with third parties. It goes over things like files, but I believe login identities were also meant to be part of it, I see when I scroll down:

authenticated by a decentralized extension of OpenID Connect

I’ve been wondering recently, especially with Pixelfed adding login with Mastodon recently, if anyone has heard or experienced anything with that project. But considering I haven’t seen it spoken about or implemented since then, I’m not sure I should be hopeful

Just a note that the original team moved to PrivacyGuides. I didn’t do much reading into the entire ordeal as it seems like a sort of each side has a story ( here’s privacyguides ), but you can see on the site you linked it seems to be a bunch of ads and crypto now.
