On Social Media

I have developed CSS styles to provide multi-column streams for Diaspora, Mastodon, Hubzilla, and Tumblr. It's possible that the Hubzilla version will work on Friendica with little or no modification. Anyone want to try it? Originally shared by Isaac Kuo G+ style Multi-Column Streams in pluspora, Mastodon, Hubzilla, and Tumblr I've put together CSS styles which provide multi-column Streams in various social media platforms. This has a huge effect on browsing speed. To use them, you: 1) Download Stylus plugin (Chrome, Firefox or Opera): https://add0n.com/stylus.html 2) Install desired Multi-Column style from here: https://userstyles.org/users/773238 Enjoy! #diaspora #mastodon #hubzilla #tumblr #pluspora #tips #tip (Putting them all here in one convenient place.)

New simplified instructions and new enhancements (such as multi-column comments) Originally shared by Isaac Kuo Multi-column Stream and Comments in Diaspora https://userstyles.org/styles/168773/3-column-diaspora Multi-column stream and comments boost browsing speed and look better on wide screens. This plugin/style gives you a multi-column stream, albeit the tiling is a bit crude. The enhancements are: TALLER NOTIFICATIONS DROPDOWN (Doc Edward Morbius) EXPAND ALL POSTS (Gible Fog) TRIPLE COLUMN STREAM (Filip H.F. "FiXato" Slagter) DOUBLE COLUMN COMMENTS (Isaac Ji Kuo) To install: 1) Install Stylus plugin for Chrome, Firefox, or Opera. see download links here: https://add0n.com/stylus.html 2) Install the "3 Column Diaspora" style from here: https://userstyles.org/styles/168773/3-column-diaspora 3) Optional: If you want to delete some enhancements or tweak columns/widths, edit the style (under S icon, select "Manage") If you aren't using the pluspora.com...

Originally shared by Isaac Kuo Multi-column Stream in diaspora! One thing I like about Google+ is the multi-column stream view. It means I can browse articles more quickly than with a single column view, with less scrolling effort. Conversely, it means my followers can browse articles more quickly, so more people see my posts. It's great! More engagement, more enjoyment, less time spent. Diaspora has many features I like, being similar to early G+. But it has just a single column stream view...until now! It turns out that adding a small bit of CSS code gives a crude multi-column stream view. It's not neat Masonry tiling, with weird gaps. But it's good enough for me. The steps to do this are: 1) Use Chrome or Chromium 2) Install the Stylus plugin (search for "stylus chrome") 3) Go to pluspora.com (or whatever diaspora pod you're on) 4) Click on the “S” plugin icon in the upper right; select Write Style for pluspora.com 5) Paste the code: ``` #main-stream .stre...

Robert tested Hubzilla and Osada. Originally shared by Robert Freeman-Day ====== Hubzilla and Zot options for Post G+ ====== We have all been talking about where to go and what to do once G+ shuts down. Many of us have taken off on the very first bandwagon that passed by (MeWe) without much thought on staying power, ethics or even if there was a real way to hone it. Others have been sticking around and taking a bit of time to talk it over and explore options. I have taken the explorer bit to heart and played with what I have been told is part of the same family of communication/publication software. I started this journey after some experience with #mastodon and #diaspora (G+ ers have been hearing mostly of #pluspora, but diaspora is the same). Many other Plussers have spent enough time with these and plenty has been written (from what I can see). This group of social apps has not been explored too much by the group, so I thought I would take a little crack at it. They are suites based...

Not that I am a big fan of Diaspora* so far - it certainly feels like a few steps backwards in terms of user-experience and polish, in particular for photo presentation and convenient photo upload directly from a mobile device. But then I always had a soft spot for the underdog and I am looking forward to moving from the ghost-town to a ghost-village and hopefully some more interesting people will end up moving there too.

I've been checking out the federated social networks. Here are some links i've found that provide brief observations about Diaspora, Friendica, and Hubzilla with a couple comments about Mastodon. Any observations you'd like to add? 1. My personal Friendica vs Diaspora breakdown so far https://diasp.org/posts/62bdc15037c2013698e1047d7b62795e 2. More on #Friendica vs #Diaspora https://diasp.org/posts/48f4c1803839013698eb047d7b62795e 3. Friendica vs. Diaspora* (advice needed) https://joindiaspora.com/posts/cd08a950b13a01366c54101b0e8ace24 4. what is the difference between friendica and hubzilla? https://github.com/friendica/friendica/issues/2894

Is there an overview of social network alternatives to G+ with an emphasis on #GDPR or #PrivacyShield compliance? I'd very much like to use decentralized alternatives not connected to (global) companies like #diaspora or #friendica or anything from the #fediverse but as far as I can tell each (EU based) server admin becomes responsible in regards of GDPR. All my querys on that regards to such admins either came to no conclusion or to something on the lines of "if a legal dispute over gdpr comes up I will shut down the server immediately" which makes me wonder why I should register at all. Has anyone taken a closer look to such topic or can point me to some external resources?

Copied from https://pluspora.com/posts/83732 I thought this would illustrate why you are better off joining a well populated diaspora pod such as pluspora rather than setting up your own at first ----- For #gplus refugees and new #diaspora users i thought I'd post an explanation of how diaspora federation works from a comment to a post on another pod: In Diaspora, you can only see those posts, that are present on your pod. If you follow someone, you get the (new) posts of that account send to your pod, including reshares. Example: Pod1 has the Users A, B and C Pod2 has the Users D and E Pod3 has the Users F and G Pod4 has the User H A follows B and D B follows G D follows F If A writes a post, that post is visible for B and C, but only show up in their stream if it contains a hashtag they follow. If B writes a post, it pops up in As stream, because A follows B. These posts are not visible for D-H, because the posts are only on Pod1. If D writes a post, Pod2 automatically sends a co...
