@[email protected] I tried mbin (registered an account for my brother). The UI isnt that bad, UI is actually well-built, i think what scared me was the the different terminologies. On mbin, you have magazines instead of communities, and microblog instead of posts. But it's not that it's bad, youll get used to it.

The disorganised yet connect nature of the fediverse is something we'll have to get used to. It's like how we all can appreciate different cultures from different countries around the world and be able to share and appreciate one another despite differences in culture. The real problem isnt with the Fediverse, it's with how culturally "bland" social media is now...

Ive checked the repo too, but since ive just started with coding, i do not understand anything... ​:mei_cry:​ ill try my best to contribute however i can, really want to see mbin continue the legacy...

@[email protected] No. Atleast, not yet ​:ablobcatangel:​

@[email protected] You can actually edit on Misskey. It's just the instance I'm on (great instance btw) doesn't allow edits to prevent messing up federation, etc...

In the branch, it supports editing, but the editing function may cause problems in fedi propagation, such as the remote end does not update in real time or does not update. So this instance didn't start this function.

@[email protected] its 2025, and people still dont know how to use email?! And they are using the internet?!!! Its clearly not the fediverse's fault...

My parents barely know how to use a computer, let alone use social media. And they STILL understand how email works! Our family grew up with email.

I am very much worried about the future of the tech world, if this continues...
Sorry to appear disrespectful to you, i truly understand what you're saying. But, i truly dont get people like them...

@[email protected] i think that not the problem with the fediverse, but the problem with how wehave been cultured so far. We got the concept of emails, we should get used to this soon too...

@Hikurn_xi @[email protected] ah, i see... thanks for clarification...
I could see why you didnt put it.
This instance is actually really nice, has all the features i need... thanks @admin

Hopefully it's heading for that direction too.

I cant really complain now after seeing all of your valid points.

@[email protected] @[email protected] if you told me this about 2 minutes ago, i probably wouldve disagreed with you. But, seeing yalls responses, i realise that im asking for a ginormous favour from all developers. Id just make my own software instead of complaining about all of the devs hard word to keep everything interconnected whilst not overwhelming the users with every feature under the sun.

You have proved yourself to be right. The mere fact that every platform is interconnected means that we are actually... connected!

Its not perfect, but thats not a reason for me to just take a back seat and watch and complain.

Id really like to see this grow to become a great community. To make projects like this for the sheer fun and goodness of it, and not expecting money back. Now thats something to applaud for!

@[email protected] honestly, yall are amazing, ive learnt so much from you all. Ill just build my own platform instead of being lazy and complaining about it...

@[email protected] you are right. I am sorry if i may EXPECT certain things to just work, just recently shifted from Twitter (stopped using twitter in 2023, now on Misskey since 2025). To be honest, i was realy confused with what ActivityPub was in the first place.

But i am glad i joined the fediverse. Today I Learnt more about the fediverse. A chaotic but really fun universe of interconnected planets.

I realise that i am asking for everyone to adapt to my needs, and not that i adapt to the ecosystem.

But now i try to learn... thank you for this informational conversation. It's still amazes me how platforms scripted in different languages are able to connect with each other.

My post is invalidated. It's now retitled to " why we need to reform our way of thinking about social media."

Still, that wont stop me from making a PeerTube+Lemmy+Misskey platform... ​:ablobcatangel:​

I may not have conveyed my point clearly.

If it was merely a Misskey problem, i wouldnt have made this post, so ill list my likes and problems one by one, i may have been vague with communication:

My likes:

1. Interconnected: i dont need to elaborate too much. One account, to all platforms...
2. Opensource: also not much elaboration.
3. Protocol centric, not platform centric...

My ONLY dislike:

1. Lack of definite communication: Misskey may be my favourite, but it sucks the most when it comes to federating with other instances. There is no upvote system, no favourites system, no saved posts system. I can only reply and send reactions, and those reactions may not even federate properly. Same when i was using Mastodon. There was no downvote system, crosspost, etc. The worst in my opinion is the fact that devs are trying their best to federate with each other but throught different ways. My point is, this discrepancy between platforms calls for standardized system.

I hope i have explained well enough. I apologise if i wasnt clear with this earlier... any solutions to the aforementioned problem?

@[email protected] Lemmy -> Misskey works fine. It's Misskey -> Lemmy which is a bit of a problem, because Lemmy communities and Misskey channels are two different things. Misskey channels dont even federate server-to-server.

I respect the developer's choices, but if Misskey is going to implement something like channels, might as well federate them too...

I apologise if i havent been clear with the whole "federating" communities, hope this clears things up...
