loops doesnt federate with anything. doesnt even allow 3rd party apps. its marketing dept is more capable (re annoying) than its devs.
…Yet
right so theyve said for _ 8_+ months now.
im sick of seeing it included in fediverse projects when it still doesnt actually do any federating and everyone keeps sayin, ‘just wait, theyre working on it!’.
bullshit. ill believe it when i see it, and it shouldnt be included in any fediverse topics until it does so… not because ‘it might’
FYI, join-lemmy is known to recommend unmanaged or slow instances: https://lemmy.world/post/24220536
I usually go with
"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users
- https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
- https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
- https://vger.app/ if you want an app
Feel free if you have any questions"
Specific reason for recommending sopuli? I quite like them but isn’t it more of a hobby project run by a single person? As we saw with kbin and feddit.de the single person run instances can disappear quick.
sopuli
Not the person you replied to, but:
Because they are Finnish…
…Finnished with the tankie bullshit that they are defederated from the 2 big tankie instances.
Also, Sopuli spells almost like Scopuli, which is the name of a Ship in The Expanse, one of my favorite TV series.
sopuli.xyz is also one of my top 3 recommended ones, the others being, sh.itjust.works, and lemmy.ca
I agree that defed from lemmygrad hexbear and ml is a plus, but it doesn’t really answer my concern of it being run by a single person
I know Element is somekind of chat but does it use activitypub?
Element uses matrix, a federated protocol for chatting. It’s federated just not with us.
It’s a corporate built frontend for a decentralised FOSS messaging protocol (Matrix)
that has activitypub federationNo ActivityPub federation, but otherwise yes.
