You have encouraged me to download a Peertube client. … Honestly I love that you can float between clients / interfaces depending on what you want to do.

At the moment Im using Fedilab . since its easy to switch between Friendica and Mastodon and Pixelfed accounts. But I also dip into Jerboa and often use the Friendica web interface.

I’ve ended up moving to Friendica as my primary Fedi account because I can get Lemmy communities, RSS and Pixelfed, Mastodon and other ActivityFed accounts all from the one account.

I still drip into Lemmy directly ( Like now ) because I haven’t added all my subscribed communities… and actually I haven’t added any Perrtune ones yet. I gotta find some to watch.

What I would love is if Fedilab or other held a buffer of recent posts from Frendica on my phone for when I’m stuck on a plane.

Oh hmm Ill try and find out .

Maybe a dumb thought but I just realised if Lemmy does RSS maybe I could add Lemmy feeds to my Friendica account. ??

Yeah . I dont think we will move their primary.email addresses from Gmail but mainly use their accounts for identity purposes with self hosting and backup / storage of emails rather than paying Google.

Who knows though …I meqn on q VPS im using an email server at moment to collaborate work with friends. It wouldn’t be mission critical … just family critical.

• I don’t use tags alot and neither do the users I would migrate

• I am not sure if this is possible but at the moment they just have gmail accounts but would move to a email with a custom domain - Im tempted to use Yunohost but worried about running my own email server and the responsibility that would come with that but also the size of the email accounts, Id also prefer that Yunohost had scheduled Backups to an external location in place.

Cheers. Ill have a look . I suspect we will just be using a hosting providers email rather than dedicated email service. (Ideally Id like to run own email server but I have heard that can be a real struggle to keep emails being delivered)

Ah it was entering the server name. .and of course going back and trying again it worked.

Hmm Im having trouble logging in to an account on my own server. Might have to investigate further…

Also Cant see anything about acouch to 5K being open source either and its a NHS BBC collaboration . https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/get-running-with-couch-to-5k/

Is NHS weight loss app open source ( I mean its free and paid for by the National Health Service ij the UK so probably shoukd be ) https://www.nhs.uk/better-health/lose-weight/

Feels like something that would integrate well with Nextcloud. I know there are some Nextcloud based Tracker apps. Have a look at Nextcloud Maps Geobookmarks from Fdroid.

Annoyingly while #BBC has a #mastodon presence https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2023-07-mastodon-distributed-decentralised-fediverse-activitypub it doesnt (yet) cover #bbcnews which i would have thought would have been a good starting point. There are already so many bots providing summaries and links to.#bbcnews.

I recently tried #rssparrot to add other #rss feeds from other news sites with some success.

Well done.

On that point i note that you can, if you have a paid account use Fedica to post on Mastodon within Hootsuite - but surely they are considering native supoort? https://fedica.com/blog/how-to-schedule-mastodon-posts-in-hootsuite/

I find it really weird that https://www.gov.uk/guidance/social-media-playbook GovUk’s own playbook has no references to consideration of open government, freedom of information, or universality of access when it comes to social media.

I think your points are valid. There is still work to do to enable government amd corporate agencies to easily operate their own domain in fediverse. There are projects and server hosting providers that are making that easier but realistically we need to see those services become much more integrated with existing social media, website and email management tools ( Think software like Hootesuite, SproutSocial, HubSpot on the client side and GoDaddy, AWS, Azure, 1&1Ionos on the server side ) that include managed activitypub services to SMEs and corporates and a way of managing them. I see these being like email accounts, only available for use by the domain user but can exchange content through federation. Moderation in these cases is just like dealing with Spam (Which email providers already do) - I know these approaches mean that at the infrastructure level there is a tendency back to centralisation but the difference is that there is no lockin. A company/org/Person can take their website / domain to whatever infrastructure they want.

Yeah agree this is the easiest… I would like to help carry the load somehow. Perhaps filtering /dealing with comments could be a start.
