VeSpectagles@sharkey.worldto Fediverse@lemmy.world•How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon?2·1 month agoI follow where you’re coming from.
I can see the perks to the Bluesky option, but given it’s centralized, venture capital funded (and they’re already trying to figure out monetization), and so forth, I’m personally not inclined to rely on much related to it.
However, I’m very aware of the hurdles the option I shared present to those unfamiliar with all of this, and why they’d choose otherwise. Then again, we’re here using this stuff, I’m posting from a microblogging instance (Sharkey) to you, and so my posts are also indirectly for others on other microblogging instances (like those using Mastodon).
For anyone these replies may reach on a Mastodon instance, using Phanpy is much simpler. It’s just going to Phanpy.social, logging in with their info, and they’re set to use it. Much like someone on Lemmy can go to Phtn.app and give Photon a try.
All that said it would be preferable if there was a guest accessible version to Phanpy (or any similar catch up-style service for fediverse stuff), without a doubt.

As I understand it, it’s a more feature-rich alternative frontend (think like Alexandrite/Photon for Lemmy), so it’s grabbing content in the sense that any ActivityPub instance does so. So…Yes? Unless you meant in a different way.

VeSpectagles@sharkey.worldOPto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Some notes on Sharkey-Lemmy interoperation4·1 month agoYeah, when I ran into it and realized what was happening, I was a little stumped on what a possible solution could be too. All that comes to mind are some clunky workarounds unfortunately.
VeSpectagles@sharkey.worldOPtoTesting testing testing testing testing@sh.itjust.works•https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page2·1 month agoi didn’t expect it to work after adding in the mention so forgot to cut that line.
apparently the community mention is needed and edits from sharkey don’t seem to federate so that’s something to know.
VeSpectagles@sharkey.worldOPtoTesting testing testing testing testing@sh.itjust.works•https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page2·1 month agowell that definitely translates worse.
guess links for sure need to be after first line for them to appear half-decently over on lemmy instances.
(not sure if this reply will federate as-is, trying without any additional mentions)
I agree, unfortunately edits don’t federate from where I posted this, so I made this thread in place of that.
