@katzenmann The best part is that we have relays too. They can even be big, like in ATProto world - but they are not indispensable, just additional services that improve discovery.

@Jelqberg_Mcjelqstein Ah, I see. You've been at your Mum's brandy again. Get out of the basement and grow up. Muted.

@mathew @rolle let me clarify... i do not care so much about followers as about reaching and connecting with the right people. building a big follower base is a big task and not everyone can do it. finding and joining a community of like-minded people (think lemmy c/community or even just a small group of friends that follow each other on mastodon or share the same server) is comparatively easier and interacting within this group is much more manageable for most people. creating such small groups and being able to find them is, however, only possible if a big group of people share the same platform for doing that. that is why federation is important. having 100 small isolated mastodon servers with one weird person on each of them does not help. having 100 weird people on 100 federated servers following the same hashtag or being included within the same community/group of any kind does.

@silverpill @general so this is for **embedded** objects? That totally makes sense.

@bengo@mastodon.social yeah, I think Ghost hasn't quite figured out that making your URLs loadable via AP is table stakes for full fediverse integration.

@shinmera when my main acces domain moved from mastodon to social I just changed the settings and made everything redirect there. Probably only broke the I stances that can't handle webfinger and the alias domain stuff thingy

@geos @Em0nM4stodon Hey mind giving me next weeks lotto numbers? Don’t assume people know what you do. I have never held a job in the tech industry in my life so I never rolled in those circles. I’m just a guy on the spectrum that enjoys tech shit cause it calms my debilitating anxiety.
