  • Hello from my Kbin account!

    I agree that this part of the article is not well developed, and I should have probably rewritten it. What I was trying to get at is that Flipboard has a hierarchy that is unique: The Actor owns a Group, with the Actor being the highest level, and the Magazine below it.

    While you could probably map a Flipboard Magazine onto a ActivityPub Group similarly like a Kbin Magazine is a Group, the intended usecase is still quite different, even though they are both link-aggregators. I dont think this is an insurmountable problem per se, but I dont agree that Kbins Magazines are super similar to Flipboards Magazines. If you wanted an fediverse comparison, I think Flipboards Magazines are actually way closer to the Postmarks.


  • if anything, its gotten worse tbh. the upside is that the move account feature to mastodon works, was a bit concerned about that.

    it doesnt block your old account after a move like mastodon does, so i still have a functional firefish account, just not my followers anymore

    chris stating that hes hesitant to open his new (4 person) firefish server to other people until theyve tested more for stability makes me quite hesitant to recommend the platform for now, if stability issues are this deeply ingrained
