@Ellie Kennard
There just came a profil called wayne. @wayne
I think it is Wayne from Tipua, but i don't know that really. Wayne ist the brother of Chris.
Ok he is by Pixelfeed, and there can be problems in the communication. It's the Instagram of the Fediferse.

He just followed me, too. Interesting. Thanks. Did you find Cobalt?

He is in the discussion by Tipua, were we meet us the first time @Ellie Kennard
No, i can not find Cobalt. I was searching on the three ways, that i have by Hubzilla. But sometimes i was searching and the profile was really there.

Horst, meet Cobalt!

Here is Horst who is from Tipua!

Yes, one and the same @horst Just trying to find my way around Pixelfed again. It's changed a lot since I first signed up

Now i found Cobolt. I must search awscommunity.social/@cobalt and then i found her. @Ellie Kennard

Hello @wayne I immediately thought it was you.
Do you need the direct mention at Pixelfeed like the Mastodon profiles? Or do you already get all the conversations there?

@elliek @horst Nice to meet you Horst and thanks Ellie! Isn't it nice to know folks from other places and we can find each other still.

Welcome @cobalt
I haven't looked in on Tipua today, but I think they are still discussing whether they want a new Tipua, or will arrive here in the Fediferse.
I'll be surprised what will happen.

I don't see any new comments on there, Horst.
I had written a reply to Chris (same as my comment) but I didn't get a result to that.
I think a lot of people just have gone to Instagram.
I would like to encourage people to come here but wouldn't feel right doing that there.

@Ellie Kennard
That would be good if they all came here. @wayne has already suggested Pixelfeed. Maybe I'll post again what it looks like here at Hubzilla, with a screenshot. But only after Wednesday, because I have a lot to do until then. Hubzilla has a good image sorting system that can also be customised. In addition, you can see the image here in maximum size with just one click. That would be great for the photo lovers of Tipua. The only thing we don't have yet is alt text. There is alt text in my pictures, but I've put it in the code.

Alt text is vital here. I won't boost without.

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 18:09:44 +0100

Horst

horst@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

Many platforms here have no Alt text @Ellie Kennard

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 18:14:06 +0100

Ellie Kennard

elliek@zeroes.ca

@horst
I don't see that. Maybe I only follow people who have alt text.
Even images on my site can have it.
That's very odd.

Horst

horst@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

The Fediferse consists of many areas. That is why not everything is available everywhere @Ellie Kennard

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 18:34:32 +0100

Ellie Kennard

elliek@zeroes.ca

@horst
I don't see any alt text on your images, Horst. At least not on the posts I can see..

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 18:45:43 +0100

Horst

horst@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

Most of the pictures are tumbnails. I cannot insert alt text there. Even posts that I have shared from others usually don't have alt text, although some do.

Can you see it that way @Ellie Kennard? I have added an alt text here.
https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/channel/horst?mid=b7ce3398-17a3-40ee-a027-9244a1eb3599

But I always don't know what people really see on Mastodon.

@horst
I do see it, but only in a browser, I don't even see the post in my app, at least not yet. I almost always use an app.
The app also allows translation. Not the phone browser on the same way.

@Ellie Kennard
This shows again that the Fediferse is still not working as it should. I can't see any of the posts you made before I had you in my circles. I can only see what's new now.

I'll just ask to see if this will ever change.

Will this always be the case, @trendless ?

I have been here for 6 years and have seen many improvements. That's why I believe it's getting better. But it will take time. @Ellie Kennard

@horst
So you can't see this pinned post on my profile?
https://zeroes.ca/@elliek/112774067735726726

And if you tap on the hashtag #EllieKPosts do you see?

Horst

horst@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

@Ellie Kennard
I can see your post, where you talk with cobalt, but as if I were looking from outside, so like not logged in. I can't see the hashtag. Hashtags have a different meaning here.

Sun, 10 Nov 2024 19:36:04 +0100

Horst

horst@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

The hashtags at Hubzilla were made to find your own tags. At Mastodon, they were certainly introduced to find other people's posts. @Ellie Kennard @trendless

@trendless
When i klick on @Ellie Kennard her hashtag, i bvecame a 422 error. In the meantime i can see her posts. It's a nice swan. :-)

elliek@zeroes.ca

@horst
Actually I find my own #EllieKPosts hashtag really useful to find my own posts and get part all my boosts! And I do see my own posts if I click on one I have contributed to.
That one does both.
@trendless
To put this into context a bit, Horst also was on the private network I mentioned to you and we found each other's fediverse profiles from there.

@horst
thanks for the heads up on Hubzilla. The instance I'm using for Pixelfed seems to be very slow and the search feature doesn't seem to work properly. I may change instances so if you lose sight of me you'll know why. :-)

Horst

horst@hub.netzgemeinde.eu

@wayne
I've already changed the instance. In any case, keep the old instance first and then look for people in the circles with the new profile again. Then you're unlikely to lose sight of anyone.

Can you see my picture collection? I suppose so. I haven't changed the settings and everything is still sorted by month. You can also post each picture a 2nd and 3rd time and that doesn't take up any storage space.

I didn't see that Wayne had messaged you. So I don't see what he wrote.
When I changed instances (twice) on Mastodon, I took all my old followers and those I was following with me easily. Maybe it's not possible for those not on Mastodon?

@Ellie Kennard
Mastodom and Hubzilla have nomadic profiles, but you can't switch from Mastodon to Hubzilla because one is macroblogging and the other is microblogging. This is only possible with the same software. I don't know whether Pixelfeed has nomadic profiles at all.

I don't know, either.
I found this article very interesting:

Yes, Bluesky is also a decentralised network.
The founder also wanted to enter the Fediferse with Bluesky. But many people here were horrified by the idea that they would join in.
The article also describes it well. As long as there is an Internet, with platforms like the Fediferse, there will also be free places on the Internet.
But what happens if someone tries to wage war against the Fediferse? There is the war of YouTube against Invidious. Most of the servers there have now given up. Google thinks big money is more important.
