@maegul @fediversenews Honestly, I wish the rest of the #Fediverse was like that. What's the point of a PUBLIC network when it's not searchable?

@fell @maegul @fediversenews well one can kinda opt-in : https://tootfinder.ch/

@Fell @maegul #Friendica has has full-text search six years before Mastodon even existed. #Hubzilla, technically a fork of Friendica by Friendica's own creator, had full-text search four years before Mastodon existed.

Of course, both can only search what they know. They can't search for everything across the entire Fediverse. That's technologically nigh-impossible.

@fell @maegul @fediversenews the argument, which I don't think I 100% agree with, is that full text search facilitates targeted abuse.

@maegul @fediversenews i remember when people on Mastodon tried to do it all hell broke loose.

@jeena @fediversenews

Yep. And here the average reaction seems to be “Awesome, how do we integrate this into my fav app?”

jeena, 11 months ago

@maegul @fediversenews i have the feeling that the average age is older on mastodon compared with the Threadyverse, I don't have numbers but I think Mastodon is 30 to 45 and Threadyverse is 25 to 40

@jeena @fediversenews
Interesting!

I’ve def seen a couple of polls backing you up in the mastodon side. Masto is clearly X-Gen/Xennial and surprisingly Boomer/Jones gen too.

Lemmy/kbin don’t have polls unfortunately. But a post to asklemmy would definitely get responses.

@maegul @fediversenews ah great ides I'll sk there

I tried a poll on lemmy. Not sure it went well but there's a bit of a picture of the demographic: https://lemmy.ml/post/1774488

By my count ... median 30s with probably more younger people (10-30) than here.

@jeena @fediversenews

But otherwise, it seems to be consistent with the generational profile on masto ... basically xennial centric.

jeena, 11 months ago

@maegul @fediversenews I also created one ^^ I have the feeling that people in the Threadyverse https://jemmy.jeena.net/post/26055 but it's not easy to extract any numbers out of it 😅

@maegul @fediversenews yeah this is so cool and fascinating. Completely different culture on lemmy with regards to search. And I keep being surprised by how separate the communities are. It barely registers on the masto feeds as news

@laurenshof @fediversenews

Yea #threadiverse and masto are, IMO, not really connected. The UI impedances aren’t matched at all really and so not much makes it over the protocol.

I would be interesting to see how friendica, kbin and hubzilla people integrate with and use #lemmy compared to masto.

Very tempted to give my kbin or friendica accounts another spin. Except that I like hachyderm governance a lot.

@maegul @laurenshof @fediversenews I wanted to follow a lemmy community from my newly setup misskey but I didn't seem to get anything onto my timeline and misskey indicated federation problems so idk if it's a gui thing
maybe I did something wrong though
