I don't think it's wise to start a Lemmy community and then ask for other people to moderate it while being absent for weeks myself.

In case you haven't read, I'm not primarily a Lemmy user. I'm mostly on Hubzilla and second-mostly on (streams). It may actually occur that I'm not on Lemmy for multiple weeks in a row.

Also, I don't really want to take care of rules and that stuff.

Let's try this here before it gets its own post somewhere.

That is, I have a growing suspicion that even here in a community that specialises in the Fediverse, hardly anyone can relate to it, and out in the meme communities, nobody will even understand it.

Just a pity that the community is pretty much dead.

It's basically like a Hubzilla channel which, in turn, is somewhat like a Friendica account. Which, again, is very vagely like a Mastodon account.

To my best knowledge, you can't follow individual accounts outside the Threadiverse on Lemmy.

In addition, (streams) has recently switched to decentralised IDs as per FEP-ef61. This could be the reason why Lemmy can't find my (streams) channels, but it can find my Hubzilla channels: It doesn't understand DIDs.

It would just either have to be on a server that also offers all server applications covered by the Web client so that everything has the same domain.

Or you would have to tell people to register accounts on foo.social, bar.social and/or baz.social, but the Web UI is on qux.social. Bit confusing for newbies who only knew centralised silos five minutes ago.

Here's some stuff that I'd meme about:

  • Mastodon users thinking the Fediverse is only Mastodon
  • Lemmy users thinking the Threadiverse is only Lemmy
  • Mastodon users thinking the Fediverse started with Mastodon
  • Mastodon being ridiculously underpowered in comparison to just about everything else, particularly Hubzilla and (streams)
  • Mastodon users wishing Mastodon (or, better yet, "the Fediverse") had certain features which are readily available just about everywhere outside of Mastodon
  • Mobile apps built against only Mastodon
  • Fediverse tools built against only Mastodon
  • Pleroma being lightweight
  • Mastodon's culture which Mastodon users are trying to force upon the rest of the Fediverse
  • Forkey antics such as "Speak as cat"
  • Forkeys in general
  • Forkeys inspired by Blåhaj vs Mastodon's mastodon plushie
  • Mastodon users still uploading videos to YouTube and not to PeerTube
  • Hubzilla's UI
  • Sharkey's infamously bad Mastodon API implementation
  • Friendica federating with everything, especially juxtaposed with some Mastodon users not wanting to federate with anything that isn't vanilla Mastodon
  • Hubzilla's ability to host Web pages
  • Nomadic identity
  • Bluesky's AT protocol seeming like a cheap knock-off of the Zot and Nomad protocols in parts
  • Self-proclaimed Fediverse experts who actually barely know anything about Mastodon and don't know anything about the rest of the Fediverse
  • Character limits
  • Threads perhaps wanting to EEE the Fediverse vs Mastodon actively trying to EEE the Fediverse right now
  • Mastodon's poster-side content warnings set in stone in what they want to be the Fediverse culture vs Friendica's, Hubzilla's, (streams)' and Forte's automated, reader-side content warnings which have been around for longer
  • Generally, the Fediverse being older than Mastodon
  • Lemmy only barely federating with everything else
  • /kbin essentially being dead
  • Permissions on Hubzilla and (streams)
  • "Conversations" on Mastodon vs conversations on Friendica, Hubzilla and (streams)
  • Certain points in the Fediverse history

Granted, I guess almost all of this will fly even over most c/Fediverse users' heads due to how detached Lemmy is from the rest of the Fediverse. But I don't really expect that many more Mastodon users to understand it, and those who do may be offended. Oh well.

I've started a new (streams) channel for Fediverse memes, but I thought Lemmy could be another, even better place to post them.

I've already posted two creations of mine there, One does not simply implement FEP-ef61 with very extensive explanations and What if I told you the Fediverse is not only Mastodon? with only one link to explain it. I'm still trying to find the right amount of explanation for an audience that shall be mostly on Mastodon.

Beyond that, I've got loads of ideas. But I don't want to post more of them here than on (streams). So I'll first have to define my way of posting them on (streams) to what will be a largely Mastodon audience in a way that satisfies Mastodon's accessibility requirements the best. I hope to speed up my meme-posting rate then.

No time to run and moderate it. I'm not primarily a Lemmy user, I'm mostly on Hubzilla and (streams). It can happen that I'm absent from Lemmy for weeks.

For one specific Fediverse project each, yes.

But what the OP is looking for is a Web client that lets you log into Mastodon and Lemmy and PeerTube all the same. Probably one that unifies your Mastodon, Lemmy and PeerTube timelines into one, rather than listing your Mastodon timeline next to your Lemmy timeline next to your PeerTube timeline in three separate columns, TweetDeck-style.

Or maybe what the OP is looking for is a Web server and client that unites all features of Mastodon and Lemmy and PeerTube in one Fediverse project so that only one single login is needed for everything.

Neither of these exists.

What I meant weren't screenshots from social media that are treated like memes.

I rather meant original memes made in the Fediverse for the Fediverse, lampooning the Fediverse, parts of it or certain aspects of it. Even if they're based on existing templates, no matter how old.

Also, it'd be nice if there was a place where such memes can be posted in the first place.

These problems could simply arise from the fact that Mastodon is starting to really work on the management of Activitypub groups.

And re-invent the wheel once more, preferably in a proprietary way that's as incompatible with the rest of the Fediverse as possible but sold to the Mastodon users as the Fediverse gold standard.

It is therefore appropriate to report any incompatibilities to the Mastodon staff, so that they can claim the other side is broken unless the other side has rock-solid proof that it's actually Mastodon that's doing it wrong.
