You’re right! Ill just store all this data as static json files in a directory then
@linuxmemes Wow, that worked!
@drq what worked
@th3rdsergeevich@udongein.xyz
@drq @linuxmemes you forgor to mention linuxmemes
It does!
@30p87 Okay, looks like we *finally* have *actual* groups in Fedi that are compatible across the board.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long, I’ve almost given up all hope.
Wait until you see Pixelfed and Mastodon’s intercompatibility
Nearly all the posts in my Pixelfed global feed literally comes from Mastodon instances as if I’m on Mastodon with Pixelfed ui
@drq @linuxmemes *lemme test if it also works on GtS*
How do you post from mastodon to lemmy?
@mogoh I just mentioned the group and it worked!
The way it’s supposed to be!
I’m so happy for this omfgrotflolcopter
Oh, that’s really cool. I hope there’s more linkage between the twitter-like and reddit-like islands of the fediverse in the future; I’m somewhat interested in reading the former but it seems to be complicated to actually get federation with it.
I could not figure out what a rotflol coptor was…

@danc4498 Oh, goddammit, the Lemmy thing fucked up the ASCII art. Whatever, google it.
wow, that’s simple! Thx!
@mogoh AFAIK, I should mention @linuxmemes handle to make the comment visible inside the original Lemmy thread.
@drqFederation.
Wait till you get a comment from threads. I’ve only had it happen once and it made me feel dirty.
And files are streams. 🎵 Islands in the stream. 🎵
🎵 That is what we awk 🎵
The list of reasons filesystems are not databases is a database.
For example, a directory full of spreadsheets.
Somewhere, a sysadmin is pulling his hair out
Tbh still preferred to that asshat who rolls out an MS Access “app”
or CSV files

@mugdad1 Trick is, I’m not on Lemmy.

Welcome to the lovely world of the Fediverse! Mastodon and Lemmy, among many other kinds of software, both run on ActivityPub. This means that even if the servers aren’t both running Lemmy or Mastodon, they still speak the same language and can therefore understand the content of each other’s posts (think of it as email, gmail.com can still send and receive mail to outlook.com). Other examples of AcitvityPub software are Misskey, Mbin, Friendica, Pixelfed, Loops, Piefed, PeerTube and many others that I haven’t learned about yet. While they theoretically can all fetch and present posts from each other, due to the choices that each developer makes while designing their software, it might not be very possible to get every post from every software. For example, Mastodon is all about following people, and Lemmy about following communities. Even though Mastodon is able to follow Lemmy communities, Lemmy has (as of writing) no function to follow people (yet).

@mugdad1 I don’t mix, I’m on Mastodon. I just mentioned @linuxmemes in op-post et voila! Neat, huh?
That’s what federation is all about.

Honestly that’s basically what CephFS is
@possiblylinux127 Or BeFS
BeFS doesn’t run on top of a data store. CephFS runs on RADOS.
Every Homestuck fan already knows this.
@RizzRustbolt What’s your fetch modus, warrior?
“I have a system”. Items are sorted randomly on to the top of “piles”. I can retrieve any item from any pile, but pulling from anywhere except from the top of the pile destroys it.
@RizzRustbolt Associative array here. Aka dictionary. Boring but practical.

That’s less the Unix way and more the BeOS way.
I love how pacman/libalpm database is just directories with tiny little files, and it’s faster in resolving dependencies than mostly anything else
and anuses are vaginas, as long as you treat them as one.
the anus isnt self lubricating :(
It can be if you’re lactose intolerant.

Muscles, nerves and mucous membranes in your anus
It is though…

As a man of science I prefer to test every theory.
They’re more like blob storage.
Blob storage usually uses a FS back end so it’s more like blob storage is like a file system
🤯😵
I don’t know why this one was such a good laugh, but great first post.
@some_guy Thank you!
