The use of AI (i.e ChatGPT etc) can be a way to help with quickly creating an story outline from your basic idea.

Give it your basic story context, the characters (even if it's just a vague description) and the essential idea of the plot.

The AI will then create a storyboard you can use as prompts for your writing 👍

Using lemmy directly will give you more control over the post and lemmy specific features...

Better marketing? Not sure...

And given #xmpp can do things like !movim @lemmy.ml, it's a shame it's not me widely used.

XMPP rooms a generally limited... but you can use the bridging function to access Matrix rooms, which there are more of ATM

And you can use the cross-posting function to make your post appear in multiple communities across instances

Some information here from the #Pleroma documentation

https://docs-develop.pleroma.social/backend/administration/CLI_tasks/emoji/

On the backend - Lower resource requirements on a server...

On the frontend - Post reactions (instead of just liking a post), Increased character limits on posts (default is around 5000 characters), can use markdown, BB Code etc formatting

Misskey, Calckey, Pleroma, Mastodon- All perform the same essential function. Microblogging (with minor differences e.g Pleroma has a 5000 word limit per post) Think Twitter.

Pixelfed is an image sharing platform - Think Instagram.

Friendica will give you a similar experience to Facebook (Macroblogging)

None of those platforms have real messaging (Direct messages, but not private or encrypted)

Almost all sites have an RSS feed...

https://rss.com/blog/ as some advice on finding them...

Even a lot of fediverse platforms e.g Mastodon have RSS 👍

https://share.tube 👍

Peertube, Funkwhale... https://fediverse.info

Here's another option for joining Matrix rooms from XMPP 👍

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-bifrost/wiki/Address-syntax

Movim can produce blogs with links that can be shared.

Write.As is federated, so can reach across the Fediverse.

Gemini is fairly limited in reach

Movim... Write.As.. For a start 👍

Maybe even a Gemini capsule.

I'd probably go look a Syncthing... Probably the easiest solution for what you've described

Checked at https://xmpp.net/ and it comes back with an 'A' for the s2s connections... The only thing I can think of is that the certificate does not have a wildcard..

That I don't know... It's using Matterbridge, I couldn't find anything on the subject for it...

I do know that it shows the method <XMPP> and the user handle...

It might be a limitation of the bridge.. 🤔

Might be that Yunohost is not adding the subdomains to the LetsEncrypt requests..

Will check it

Seems so...

Which client are you using to connect?

Fixed

Another option is to use a VPS, like Linode, Digital Ocean etc... Then install Yunohost with these instructions... https://yunohost.org/en/install/hardware:vps_debian

As for video calling, follow the instructions in the link - Some thing not immediately obvious is apt install coturn to get the video server installed...

Other option might be to install Snikket, which has everything bundled... https://snikket.org/service/quickstart/

I really think Movim has a lot of potential, especially if you're looking for something that can basically replace Facebook and Messenger..

Or even if you are a blogger....

Great work by the developers on this app... Installed from the GitHub site, but will be great when it's on something like F-Droid...

You could look at https://tinylist.app/, which allows for self hosting... But it is pretty basic atm.

I don't mind paying for the extensions as it supports the opensource project (they provide the basics for free)...

I can vouch that the extensions work on the self hosted setup. (Got the Holiday special)

KISS Launcher (Blazingly fast launcher focused on search) - https://f-droid.org/packages/fr.neamar.kiss

Thanks for sharing! That was an interesting talk... Wasn't aware that's the direction #Funkwhale was heading 🤔

Seperate app, by the same Developer...

By the looks of the images in the post, they look like they'll be support forums initially...

Mine.. because it's all just for me... :D

It's one of the only reasons I keep an account on things like Twitter - basically to advocate for the fediverse, and apps like Lemmy, Peertube, Pleroma etc...

The inertia of using the 'mainstream' platforms will be one of the hardest things to overcome.. If all your friends and family are on platform X, and they're not coming to platform Y with you... well, it could be a rather boring experience... at least at first..

Below the comment, you should see three small [vertical] dots.. Click on that, then on the chain link icon.. It should take you to the original thread

I only recently found out about it after I started using my Yunohost XMPP server more... Really seems to add to the XMPP functionality

You can check the-federation.info... https://the-federation.info/hostingreport

There are 11 federated instances reported in China... 1 in Venezuala, 1 in Vietnam
