New bridge coming soon that NOBODY saw coming

I believe other aspects are at play, but my understanding is that if the Fedi instance is federating with Mostr, the interactions should be 2-way, yes.

I think there are some technicalities in how federation works / populates that may make connectivity <100% reliable, but these are nuances that Alex would know better than me. I'm basically just here to give a tech-illiterate end user perspective lol

I will say that, as someone with more experience on Fedi than Nostr, that it isn't uncommon at all to run into reply threads where you can't see half of the participants because of your instance's defed list, so us being able to see these users at all is a step up in that regard, but I do agree that some kind of visual indicator to differentiate ActivityPub users that can interact with us from ones who can't would be a really good idea.

Can you include this in it when you do?

I hadn't realized that Nicecrew had Mostr defederated, shame :/

This is actually not a bad idea, like a little red exclamation mark or no-wifi symbol or some other clear visual indicator next to a non-federating ActivityPub user's handle. And/or the symbol could show up on one's own replies if there are any issues present, maybe with a hover-over pop-up that lists who in the thread can and can't see your reply.

I'm not sure how difficult this would be to implement technically, but something in the UI to help the user understand federation / bridging issues would definitely be helpful, be it for issues caused by defederation, or for issues on our end with sending out the posts.

Don't worry, you'll rematerialize when they can mention you in the same breath as Truth Social

Didn't know it could ever be this over

Rigged Discord elections and Habbo weapons of mass destruction, so fucking kino

Probably the best way of engaging with social media lmao

Ahh, gotcha.

I believe that that tab is only for posts made specifically THROUGH Gleasonator. If I were to go login on Primal using the same key and make a post, I don't believe it would show up on that tab.

Ditto, the frontend software that Gleasonator uses, is based off of Alex's Fediverse frontend Soapbox, which had functionality to show all the posts made by users on the instance you were posting from. I'm pretty sure the gleasonator.dev tab at the top of the site is just that.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking how my posts show up as "from gleasonator.dev" on other Nostr sites? Or are you just asking how posts display from my POV on Gleasonator?

Sometimes I wish we had a Wikipedia-style effect for all instances of "NIP-XX" that show you what the NIP in question does when you hover over it or click it.
