As long as the NSFW comes over. The block button is right there for anyone who does like it
Wow, way to try staying relevant I guess? They had a huge following and the porn was flowing during the good times. They blew their chance and now it’s a shell of itself. Fuck Tumblr.
As long as there’s no toxic behaviour from them, I’m more than OK with this
I welcome our colon three posting brothers and sisters
For a long time I thought tumblr was Pintrest.
What the heck is tumblr? I dont think I’ve ever done an image search that lead me to that site.
You are not alone there
Oh hellsite
Nooooooooooooo
It really would be so much easier to just boost Mastodon posts into a Lemmy community.
that’s crazy talk, next you’ll be telling us we should be able to actually block people from seeing and interacting with our posts
the Lemmy block system works as intended. if you want some other system, use some other service. but being a federated system, you can’t actually stop the data from being visible, or someone from creating a new user and interacting, if your post is public.
Hopefully whenever mastodon gets quote posts we’ll see something similar pop up over here.
You don’t need to wait on Mastodon to do it.
Obviously, I’m not talking about you specifically – Threadiverse devs generally.
For example, some of this functionality already exists on Friendica.
For sure! But considering Mastodon has most of the content that would be quote posted this way and most of the users who would be subject to it, and they are working on it (at their own pace), I think it would be tactile to see how it is implemented in Mastodon first and then proceed from that.
It could for example be that Mastodon users will be able to opt out of quote posts in general or in specific posts. If so, this should be respected in other implementations as well. And in general, it’s just nice to have things consistent, and when it’s taking the Mastodon team so long to implement I suspect it’s because they’re devoted to making sure they do it right. :)
Quote posting is already available on Misskey, Friendica, and Akkoma.
Threads also has that feature, and they use the same standard as Misskey.
Even Mastodon clients like Icecubes and Phanpy do quite posting.
At this point, it makes no sense to wait on Mastodon to implement features.
No doubt they’re taking their sweet time with it. Then again, knowing the Mastodon user base, whenever it is implemented people will probably go crazy and think it’s the biggest invasion of privacy since the gestapo.
By the way, here’s from Monday’s development update:
The team also made significant progress on the specification for Quote Posts. It needs a few minor changes, but we expect to publish it for comment in February, and start implementation right away. The current plan is to publish Mastodon 4.4 with support for displaying Quote Posts, and then add authoring in Mastodon 4.5.
At a certain point, developers need to ignore the HOA.
Say, are you saying that it’s possible to take an existing Mastodon post, and post it into Lemmy? If so can you pliz point me to someplace that says how to do that? So far I’ve only seen this guide: https://anonsys.net/display/bf69967c-1467-8270-7e3d-48d984455929 and it only says how to crosspost a new Mastodon post, not an existing Mastodon post.
Right now, you can crosspost to a Friendica group by mentioning the group actor handle (ex:
@fediversenews@venera.social. And because Friendica supports quoted boosts, you can boost to a Friendica group through this method.Lemmy could easily support this feature.
Are Lemmy devs aware that this would be a possible way of something to support?
Lemmy devs tend not to be very proactive when implementing interoperability with other fediverse services. I would expect support to pop up in Mbin and/or PieFed first, and possibly Lemmy later.
That said, I would be surprised if they were not aware of the possibility, I just doubt it’s a priority at the moment.
Not true IMO, Lemmy is way more after interoperability than for example Mastodon
I thought Lemmy already supported that. I’ve seen a few Mastodon posts around.
Mastodon users can post to the Threadiverse by tagging a community, but since we don’t have “quoted boosts”/quote posts, there’s no way of including an existing thread or post when doing so.
I’ll believe it when I see it
I’m sure I’ve read this headline before and nothing came of it then.
With all the decades of poorly made freshman intern tier spaghetti code Tumblr is built on it’s no surprise adding anything takes a long time.
Automattic declined to share a time frame as to when the migration would be complete, given its scale, but a rep for the company called the progress so far “exciting.”
Yeah, they’ve been talking about this for years now.
Why did you link to a Mastodon post and not the actual article?
The article seems well-written, except that:
the fediverse — the open social web powered by the protocol ActivityPub also used by Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and others.
Seriously? Flipboard has like one thousand Monthly Active Users and we have like 50 times that, but we’re like “and others” lel… I guess they didn’t mention Pixelfed either tho and it’s a lot “hotter”…
Flipboard is how you can federate BBC and a bunch of legit news networks. They’re pretty important imho
One thing at least is that when you search “Reddit alternatives”, most articles that I came across seemed to make out like Lemmy is the best option in terms of amount of users and not being advertised explicitly as a “free speech and censorship free platform”, which we all know really means “bigots are welcome here.” In fact when I was searching Reddit alternatives, it seemed to me that Lemmy is really the only option.
That article is intended for casual readers. These people might be more familiar with Flipboard than Lemmy or Pixelfed.
The same way that people are familiar with Blackberry or Nokia despite none of them even reach mainstream market anymore.
Last thing we need is casual news readers joining. This is the dark souls of the fediverse and I am the undead burg twink invader.
Maybe if they did something about their porn bot problem I’d be happier to see this
There’s always the block button.
What an amazing concept right? Being able to personally filter out individually what you don’t like.
I will applaud tumblr for having a good block button. But it doesn’t solve the porn bot problem.
Can anyone eli5?
Will it federate with AP platforms?
It will federate with other AP platforms.
God I hope my instance defederates with them.
What’s wrong?
Tumblr on fediverse by default will increase variation of community in fediverse. Especially, fediverse right now is still mainly filled with American or European related topics.
Why? Tumblr is terrible, but in a good way.
Because Automattic owns Tumblr and is run by a douchebag transphobe that is also destroying WordPress. (Though, to be fair WordPress is fucking trash)
Tumblr is terrible
Stay terrible fam.
You could just block them yourself if you don’t like leftist spaces that much
Tumblr doesn’t really strike me as leftist, so much as having a low signal:noise ratio
In the early-to-mid 2010s Tumblr was mainly associated with “social justice” types of people, it seems to have become a lot less relevant at some point in the late 2010s.
That would be when they banned porn in 2018.
probably, I remember something along those lines
Instead of hoping your instance does something, just make your own instance. That’s the whole idea.
All of you who were making a fuss over Threads had better act the same way about this - after all, it’s Verizon.
No, Verizon does not own Tumblr. Verizon sold Tumblr to Automattic, the owner of WordPress.com, in August 2019
I don’t understand the logic. Verizon buys tumblr, knowing it has porn, knowing porn is what makes it popular.
Kills porn.
Kills the valuation of the brand
Sells for far less than they bought it for.
Explain please.
They gambled that the additional ad revenue they’d be able to bring in with a sanitized web site would be greater than the revenue lost from some of their userbase leaving the site. It was a bad gamble.
Yeah, the plan was similar to when Time-Warner acquired Myspace only to not understand what a social media site is inherently; then fumble the bag and sell as fast as possible. They really fucked themselves left right and center on that deal… but everyone’s friend Tom is still a multimillionaire.
Skill issue
It’s the porn paridox. Porn gets users. Advertisers pay per user… but won’t pay anything if there’s porn. Users without advertisers or subscription costs are worthless.
Wait wasn’t it yahoo that initially killed the porn?
This all sounds like the Tenacious D song about trying to kill Rock & Roll
The porn will strike you down with a vicious blow!
Good ‘ol Cunnigham’s Law
Oh. So it depends on your position on WPEngine instead.
depends on whether matt mullenweg knows you exist
also i’ve only just realized why he named the company auto-matt-ic oh my god
Verizon sold Tumblr to WordPress in 2019
