i kind of love the fact that posting fediverse links on hacker news is coming to be almost as common as posting twitter links. and i already read this, because one of the mastodon accounts i follow boosted this into my timeline.
all hail decentralized social media!
- superkuh 4y agoI just wish there were an html interface to read mastadon posts. Something like nitter.net is for twitter. Right now to read them I have to use the general RSS feed and then find the post. And the .rss feature is only available on some implementations of mastadon. https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom/109571409346371116 https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom/109571409346371116 -> https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom.rss https://fediscience.org/@ct_bergstrom.rss My browser displays RSS natively well enough. It just can't display mastadon pages even with JS on because it's old. The api interface through https://fediscience.org/api/v1/statuses/109571409346371116 https://fediscience.org/api/v1/statuses/109571409346371116 is handy but it doesn't seem to give the full post.
- jonas-w 4y agoIf you mean all the comments with "full post" just add /context after tha api url like so: https://fediscience.org/api/v1/statuses/109571409346371116/context https://fediscience.org/api/v1/statuses/109571409346371116/c...

- justinhj 4y agoI would much prefer a Twitter link. I can more easily share it with people and it’s a much more pleasant user experience.
- ggm 4y agoI don't understand this: I clicked on the link and saw the thread in my browser. What's the barrier? It's no different to sharing a link to a forum or mailing list archive really
