Studies have identified some of the main sources of microplastics as:
- plastic-coated fertilisers
- plastic film used as mulch in agriculture
WTF?
- plastics recycling.
Uuuuh…
One thing that seems to go unappreciated in the comments is the simplicity of this interop proposal: It is essentially about enabling quote-posting of link-aggregator(Groups) posts.
Bluesky + Frontpage will work this way, and I believe it’ll work exceedingly well. If the ap-net corner of the fediverse isn’t interested in this kind of interop, fair enough. To me however the promise of seamless interop between my social apps was what brought me to the fediverse, so that’s the version of the fediverse I will pursue.
Yeah I get that. What ‘works’ means in the context of local-first is flexible though. This might provide a useful framing: https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2023/offline-is-online-with-extreme-latency/
In any case, you’re definitely right to focus on your specific use case first without trying to fit it into any specific paradigm. I’m excited to follow Habitat’s progress!
This sounds great!
Are you familiar with the local-first tenets? Seems like a natural fit for the local nature of your app:

Maybe it’s doable with the new plug-ins system? I’ve asked in the issue.
This is certainly not spam but rather a blog response, a time honored practice as old as blogging itself.
OP’s article links to the source article (albeit via its fedipost rather than its blog post; maybe best to link both) and contributes to the online discourse with a long form reply, detailing a possible solution.
Mischaracterizing such a clearly well-intentioned contribution as “blog spam” is harmful.
Thank you!
Big Social Media shares many characteristics of a drug, with similar anti-social consequences by overuse. But as with drugs, social media is just a symptom of the underlying problem.
It will still have made the rounds, since it trended on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39667026
What you want is Group-to-Group Following, which obviates the need for most cross-posting altogether.

I’d strongly prefer this be optional, so I can turn it off. I’ve never been a fan of these ‘half-way’ transitions; it’s one of the main reasons I preferred Photon over Alexandrite.
I also don’t want infinite scrolling, because having to click for more content makes me more aware of my screen time.
Nonetheless, it’s a cool feature that’s probably useful to many people :)
Something a bit similar to what lemmit is already doing, but more powerful with your addition of comments: read-only, best-of archives of really old content from popular subs.
10-5 year old askreddit posts for instance would be interesting blasts from the past to read today. Isn’t there already a ‘best of Reddit’ convention on Reddit itself that resurfaces such content from time to time?
Sounds like the sort of thing Cory Doctorow would write.
Thanks for an awesome app! It covers all the essentials already.
Any plans to onboard more contributors to help with the maintenance burden?
I’d love that!
Not sure what a ‘crossposts property in PostView’ means, but if there’s a Lemmy issue to track that I’ll be keeping an eye on it.
Oh, thanks! I must have followed a gift link via Doctorow’s social because I didn’t encounter the paywall.
His point is there is no one protocol for the social web. The (open) social web is built on a pluriverse of protocols, like rss, email, irc, matrix, activitypub, atproto…
