A community dedicated to fediverse news and discussion.
Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".
Getting started on Fediverse;
I think that the problem is not with propagation, but that we don't get notifications about other comments under a post we commented on.
What's more, if this comment gets an answer, and then someone will comment that answer, I will not be informed of that branch of discussion
Have you tried the "New comments" sort?
I mean the notification about new, unread message. Sort won't solve that, I observe too many communities
Piefed has more granular notifications. Voyager is also recently supported
I'll check Voyager out, thanks. But still, I suspect most of Lemmy uses the default UI
The Piefed web UI is similar to Lemmy. As usual, people have options
Somehow I haven't encountered piefed yet. Does it have an option to group the communities one follows? So I could see not only posts in communities I subscribed to, but also only from the ones I've put in, for example, "news" group?
Exactly, it has feeds (so what your describe), that can be private or public
I'd be wary of getting a conversation node from anybody other than the original author (as described in the second approach).
There's a reason why, if you want to resolve a missing post in Lemmy, etc, you have to use the fedi-link to retrieve it from its source, not just from any other instance that has a copy (because, like the "context owner", they could be lying).
For Group-based apps, conversation backfill is mostly an issue for new instances, who might have a community's posts (from its outbox), but will be missing old comments. Comments can be automatically and recursively retrieved when they are replied to or upvoted by a remote actor, but fetching from the source (as you arguably should do) is complicated by instances closing (there's still loads of comments from feddit.de and kbin.social out there - it will be much worse when lemm.ee disappears). So perhaps Lemmy could also benefit from post authors being considered the trusted owner of any comments they receive.
I have heard the reasons why, but I still can't wrap my head around Mastodon's decisions regarding the ability of reactions to carry between instances & profile search. The solution to a problem should never be "scroll for 7 minutes". All of the instances still doing that should move on, because the whole "dopamine loop" neuroscience meme is nothing confirmed or worth breaking core site features over.
