Openvibe combines Mastodon, Bluesky and Nostr into one social app | TechCrunch in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The pre-seed stage startup is backed by angel investors and NYC accelerator Wolf, which Openvibe attended last year.

Openvibe is available as a free app on iOS and Android, but plans to experiment with a desktop version. The app will later introduce a subscription plan to generate revenue.

Have any services like this managed to develop a sustainable business model, especially after taking on investment?

Which long-running comedies would you recommend? in c/[email protected]

Rewatching Venture Bros. in order after only having seen it on tv years ago aired out of order makes a massive difference, too. I didn't realize how many episodes I'd seen were really from earlier seasons.

What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Does Bluesky? Have they been running marketing? Much of what I've seen/heard of it has been more a result of Twitter imploding and people bringing up alternatives than any concerted marketing pushes.

edited for clarity, realized I'd overlooked Threads mention

What Does It Really Mean to Learn? in c/[email protected]

Isn't this sort of a reframing of curiosity, or other basic characteristics of an active mind, such as receptivity? Mental adaptability may also fit neatly here.

How can we return to techno-optimism? in c/[email protected]

I haven’t paid interest in over a decade and have made thousands from rewards.

I'm not too familiar with credit cards, do you mean this in a literal money sense or something more complex, i.e. the value of rewards & money?

Have you seen the [email protected] community? This would be a good post there as well, I think!

What's a giveaway or tell that someone may be *too* online? in c/[email protected]

Sorry. This is why I included the bonus question:

what does it mean to be too online anymore?

This wasn't included in jest but in recognition that for many now there isn't any too online, it's simply the means of socializing, among other things.

Never tried one before, are they any trickier to learn to ride than an analogue unicycle?

If they added speakers to let people hear music or make phone calls via the glasses, it’d be an even more compelling device, especially with an intuitive UI.

Might a decent built-in mic that doesn't override/compete with some wireless earbuds/headphones possibly be a better combo? Would keep battery drain and weight on the glasses down.

Would it be better or worse if cross-posts joined their comments from their different communities? (lemm.ee)

Cross-posting has struck me as a little strange and I think maybe this is a part of it.

Doesn't it benefit larger communities more than smaller ones by keeping the activity in a larger one, since they can comment there rather than go to the smaller community? 🤔

What's been an interesting safe for life linkhole you've found on the web recently? (lemm.ee)

There's probably a different word for it, but linkhole like rabbithole.

You went to this one site, and it mentioned some other site, and they kept your interest and kept linking on to others and you've surfaced just long enough to share here.

KDE Connect should only enable downloading files from allowed directories, right? [issue report found, may be very old notifications] (lemm.ee)

I was working on some stuff on my PC and stepped away for a bit, and on returning noticed notifications on it that some files had been downloaded via KDE Connect from my phone. I was using my phone at the time, and didn't send the files.

I know that you can quietly download files from a phone with its paired device (i.e. no notification on the phone, nor prompting permission) from allowed directories, but these files weren't from those directories, so...What may have happened here?

Glitched notifications, or something else?

Also, the downloaded files weren't anywhere on my PC, so... 😕

edit:
I found an issue report I think may be what I was seeing: KDE Connect spams the desktop with a torrent of old notifications.

Does PieFed support disabling notifications for submitted posts (or "unsubscribing") from them? (lemm.ee)

submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Recently saw some posts about interest in following posts/comments for replies with PieFed, which made me wonder about essentially the opposite.

In Lemmy there's presently no option for this, and I gather similar functionality (auto-follow submitted posts & notify for replies) is on PieFed, but can't tell if there's any option to disable notifications/unsubscribe from one's own posts (yet).

**edit:**Thanks for the reply @[email protected]! From their reply on PieFed:

It does, yes. When you make a post or comment, there's a tick-box with 'Notify about replies'. It's ticked by default, but unticking it before you submit means you won't get notification about replies.

After that, you can change the status using the same bell icon that you use for other people's content. To subscribe to your post, I'd change the bell from struck-through to clear, and to unsubscribe to my own post, I'd change the bell from clear to struck-through.

Unfortunately this reply didn't federate so I only got around to checking PieFed's version of this thread today and read it. Seems some more stuff to work out in this regard
