Mastodon can be a household name when Threads users question why people have an @user username and are introduced to a platform with no ads. They’re gonna complain eventually, and they will find comments mocking them for using Threads.

Saddened that it’s not /m/football, it should be /m/football.

Oh, this is interesting. If a fediverse compatible software gets search right, it’s gonna get a lot of users. Otherwise, we either have to change the way we search things or search engines might have to change the way they show results.

I don’t think it would be too hard to change the query though. Instead of adding “Reddit” at the end of your search query, you can add “kbin”, “Lemmy”, or whatever instance you want to see search results from.

What happened to Nvidia open sourcing their graphics driver last year? It seems like nothing came out of it. I know the userland is still closed, but wasn’t there an effort to include the driver in Mesa?

I agree with this. The first platform to get discoverability between servers right will likely lead the way. It doesn’t help that there’s a double @ system for both users and subreddit equivalents. I think eliminating the first @ for users and using a different character for topics would simplify the system. For example, a user could be user@dom.ain just as in email, and subreddit like forum could be /topic@dom.ain (or #topic@dom.ain but I’m not a fan of this one).
