Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

Hi all. So, it's done: All the RSS feeds that were on rss.ponder.cat are now served from ibbit.at instead. More about it in the sticky post in [email protected], but if you're subscribed to RSS stuff, look for it on ibbit.at instead now.

One question I have for the community: My thinking is to send a DM to anyone who was subscribed to something on the old server, with links to the equivalent communities as what they were subscribed to, on the new server, so that it's easy to transfer subscriptions. Is that spam though? My thinking is that it's fine, since presumably people want to be able to have their subscriptions carry over if they already took the trouble to subscribe on rss.ponder.cat. Right? Or no? It just gives me pause when I'm talking about setting up the bot to send unsolicited DMs to 3000 users...

No, totally not spam. I think the DMs would/will be greatly appreciated. I look forward to the notifications.

Thank you for continuing the service!

Thanks! Yeah, I just hesitate about any kind of blasting like that... to me it seems fine. But sometimes people have differences of opinion.

I have this pretty young account on PieFed (lemm.ee refug.ee) and got your message. I'm not sure why. I did a search for ponder.cat to see what it was about (not about to tap a link in my mobile app!)

Oh

Oh no

I feel like maybe I sent every single DM to some random user ID instead of to the right one... I swear I thought I tested it. You're definitely not subscribed to anything on rss.ponder.cat.

Oh no

Wait. I found it, looks like you were subscribed to [email protected], from your Piefed account. Was that the account it invited you to, did Piefed maybe present it to you as a topic community or something without it being really emphasized that it was an RSS community or anything? Do you see that one from rss.ponder.cat in subscriptions currently?

You really scared me lol
