Title:
Simple introduction to Fediverse, Mastadon and Lemmy
Body:
I’m still wasn’t not sure of the topology of these spaces so I asked chatGPT. Here’s the gist of it (I edited and rearranged the reply):
Fediverse is a network of interconnected social media platforms that are decentralized and based on open protocols.
Mastodon is a one of the social media platforms within the Fediverse that resembles Twitter.
Lemmy is also a social media platform within the Fediverse that is similar to Reddit.
The Fediverse is a network of interconnected social media platforms that are based on open protocols and standards. It’s like a collection of different communities that can communicate and interact with each other. These platforms are often decentralized, meaning that they are not controlled by a single entity or company.
Mastodon is one of the most popular platforms in the Fediverse. It’s similar to Twitter, but with some key differences. Mastodon allows users to create accounts, post messages (called toots), follow other users, and interact with their posts by liking, reposting, or replying to them. One of the significant advantages of Mastodon is that it is decentralized, which means that anyone can set up their own Mastodon instance (a server), and users from different instances can still connect and interact with each other. Think of it as many different communities hosted on different servers, but they can all communicate and share information with each other.
Lemmy is another platform in the Fediverse, but it is more similar to Reddit. It allows users to create communities (called instances) based on specific topics or interests. Users can join these communities and post links, text, or discussions related to that topic. Other users can then upvote, comment, and participate in those discussions. Like Mastodon, Lemmy is also decentralized, so there can be multiple instances of Lemmy running independently, but they can still interact with each other.
Huhu, that language option always causing huge issue, i’ve learned changing that option will cause me unable to post and some people reported unable to see a lot of comment. It’s annoying.
Undetermined is the default, and i think Cafe set to undetermined as well, so if you pick English you can’t post it to community that isn’t set to English. It’s very janky. And if you change your language setting in your profile setting, you won’t be able to view a lot of comment and post as well.
Honestly, i still have no idea how that thing works, so better just leave it.
let’s see if the newly released lemmy 0.18.1 solves this problem (to the tech team: lemmy-ansible has also been updated).
a tip that I’ve heard: due to the changes in the path of some .js files, after the upgrade, those of us still using the browser (instead of apps) will need to refresh monyet.cc to get the old path out of browser cache.
keep in mind that this 0.17.4 to 0.18.1 upgrade is a major one, touching almost all lemmy components. so, backups will need to be taken, and we’ll all have to keep our fingers crossed that the upgrade completes without any complications.

Aight, lemme try
I tried and it immediately posted. Weird. Lemme ask the tech first, see if they can resolve it
Edit: did you mess around with the language option?
Dont think so, i put it as English all the times
Ah, did you uncheck undetermined?
Da fuq, that was the problem. posted d

No idea what’s going on with that. I put it to undetermined but at least one other person can see the post (and commented)
