I've been using Consent-O-Matic which works pretty well but built into the browser? Wow.

@Atemu This is why, for me, Firefox is unreplaceable on Android. Just the fact that's not Chromium + also supports extensions is what makes it superior.
I wish that it'll come pre-installed in phones instead of Chrome, so more people can give it a try. But is Android and Google would never allow that.

Unrelated to the post: it's so cool that you're replying from mastodon

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

The question is, did they get your comment? You didn't @ them. Does Mastodon know how to interpret and exchange replies from Lemmy if it doesn't use @ tagging?

[-] DannyBoy@mastodon.ie 26 points 1 year ago

@deweydecibel @Sekoia Yes, I got your reply without @ me. ActivityPub works in mysterious ways.
For example: I can create new posts on Lemmy/Kbin, but those posts can be only text. I still haven't figured out how to post images.

Looks like you either have to @ people to reply to them, or it populates it for you

[-] palitu@lemmy.perthchat.org 1 points 1 year ago

it could be because lemmy (maybe kbin??) doesnt copy the embedded data, only the text, maybe mestadon works differently? so the images dont come across?

What in the heck?

Whenever I try to open a Lemmy community or user profile from mastodon, I see their profile but no posts are displayed 😢

[-] DannyBoy@mastodon.ie 1 points 1 year ago

@Strawberry Again ActivityPub still feels like an alpha feature.
It works, but most of its features trend to give null values. ActivityPub really needs tons of work in UX.

Yes, and it even associates it as a reply directly to their post. If you're using Lemmy on the web, you can click the rainbow fediverse button to open the comment from the originating instance.

@Undearius @deweydecibel Nice! Now you have created an #Inception kind of post.
Piece of advice boys. When you make posts on Lemmy/Kbin put at the end of it some #hashtags related to the post's topic. So it can be indexable for Mastodon and Pixelfed users.
I as a Mastodon user can see posts from Pixelfed users due to their diligence of using hashtags.

This is something easy that can improve post discoverability and also you'll get more user interaction.

It would be interesting to see some automation there, like having default tags for a community. It would be kinda silly to post something c/firefox and have to tag #firefox too.

[-] DannyBoy@mastodon.ie 1 points 1 year ago

@Sekoia That's the magic of ActivityPub and the Fediverse.
