    i agree, i dont blame you if i appear to look like that.
    tbh, looking back now, i sound like i was asking for too much yet not knowing so much. i did not know about Mbin, nor did i have a misskey client. I WAS LITERALLY BROWSING MISSKEY ON MY BROWSER FROM MY PHONE. Yeah, cant blame anyone but myself.

    ive found a hack: on misskey, lemmy communities show up as user accounts, so if i follow them, and add those accounts to a separate list from my feed, then i can check lemmy posts as well. Really great workaround. plus, im using Aria now, and Aria client is super fast, doesnt take up too much network.

    in the end, ive learnt that on the fediverse, there’s always a workaround for everything. the only problem is: us

    the fedi isnt some magic Twitter alternative which just works! its a universe of interconnected software. when different software communicate with each other, its bound to have some inconveniences. but after 2 months of using misskey, mbin, mastodon, lemmy, even piefed, i find misskey more suitable for me. reactions, misskey flavoured markdown, quotes, etc. plus the workaround, misskey is pretty solid option for me. achievements boost motivation as well ​:ablobcatbongoultra:​
    my brother, on the other hand, finds lemmy more suitable for him due to its reddit like approach, and my other brother finds mbin more suitable for him because it combined microblogging and post aggregation ​:ablobcatgooglytenor:​

    in short, the fediverse isnt about the software we’re using, but about the friends we made along the way ​:ablobcatangel:​

    but yeah, still wish there was an option on misskey/mastodon to synchronize latest replies and reactions from another server, anyone has found a solution or even a client which temporarily does this fix and fetches the latest information like renotes, latest replies, latest reactions?

    @melroy@kbin.melroy.org I tried mbin (registered an account for my brother). The UI isnt that bad, UI is actually well-built, i think what scared me was the the different terminologies. On mbin, you have magazines instead of communities, and microblog instead of posts. But it’s not that it’s bad, youll get used to it.

    The disorganised yet connect nature of the fediverse is something we’ll have to get used to. It’s like how we all can appreciate different cultures from different countries around the world and be able to share and appreciate one another despite differences in culture. The real problem isnt with the Fediverse, it’s with how culturally “bland” social media is now…

    Ive checked the repo too, but since ive just started with coding, i do not understand anything… ​:mei_cry:​ ill try my best to contribute however i can, really want to see mbin continue the legacy…

    @OpenStars@piefed.social @fediverse@lemmy.world if you told me this about 2 minutes ago, i probably wouldve disagreed with you. But, seeing yalls responses, i realise that im asking for a ginormous favour from all developers. Id just make my own software instead of complaining about all of the devs hard word to keep everything interconnected whilst not overwhelming the users with every feature under the sun.

    You have proved yourself to be right. The mere fact that every platform is interconnected means that we are actually… connected!

    Its not perfect, but thats not a reason for me to just take a back seat and watch and complain.

    Id really like to see this grow to become a great community. To make projects like this for the sheer fun and goodness of it, and not expecting money back. Now thats something to applaud for!

    @rglullis@communick.news you are right. I am sorry if i may EXPECT certain things to just work, just recently shifted from Twitter (stopped using twitter in 2023, now on Misskey since 2025). To be honest, i was realy confused with what ActivityPub was in the first place.

    But i am glad i joined the fediverse. Today I Learnt more about the fediverse. A chaotic but really fun universe of interconnected planets.

    I realise that i am asking for everyone to adapt to my needs, and not that i adapt to the ecosystem.

    But now i try to learn… thank you for this informational conversation. It’s still amazes me how platforms scripted in different languages are able to connect with each other.

    My post is invalidated. It’s now retitled to " why we need to reform our way of thinking about social media."

    Still, that wont stop me from making a PeerTube+Lemmy+Misskey platform… ​:ablobcatangel:​

    I may not have conveyed my point clearly.

    If it was merely a Misskey problem, i wouldnt have made this post, so ill list my likes and problems one by one, i may have been vague with communication:

    My likes:

    1. Interconnected: i dont need to elaborate too much. One account, to all platforms…
    2. Opensource: also not much elaboration.
    3. Protocol centric, not platform centric…

    My ONLY dislike:

    1. Lack of definite communication: Misskey may be my favourite, but it sucks the most when it comes to federating with other instances. There is no upvote system, no favourites system, no saved posts system. I can only reply and send reactions, and those reactions may not even federate properly. Same when i was using Mastodon. There was no downvote system, crosspost, etc. The worst in my opinion is the fact that devs are trying their best to federate with each other but throught different ways. My point is, this discrepancy between platforms calls for standardized system.

    I hope i have explained well enough. I apologise if i wasnt clear with this earlier… any solutions to the aforementioned problem?
