Only on Reddit for a couple communities. But, Lemmy kind of became my main Social site overall. Replaced all of them for me.
Get enough personal funding for my parents to be taken care of.
Then build indie games for the rest of my life. Making single person RPGs. Where the stories can fill the void of my need to write novels. And the themes being a culmination of all the games I have played that had a role in guiding some sense of morality or drama. Such as the last mission on Halo Reach or the Mass Effect Trilogy, or Outer Wilds etc.
I’d want to compose, do the artwork, and the development for this, an all-out love letter to this form of storytelling. Spending years fine tuning every single detail as if it’s an elaborate sculpture. Details so small the crescendos of the OST, exactly match animations and playable cutscenes. All until, I feel I have reached a personal magnum opus, of the games released thus far.
And then say good bye. Moving on and living a simple life.

With Postmarks, social bookmarking is back -- but this time it's built on the fediverse | TechCrunch
Ah yes! I almost do that already. With RSS as well. So you can combine communities and RSS Feeds, not mastodon users yet though. It's kind of fun standardizing all the different ActivityPub implementations into a single data model. Mastodon timelines or users are essentially whole communities.
To be honest, building a web-version of that pipeline as a NPM package might be helpful for others, piping in all the different types of fediverse content into a single stream.

I've had an idea, that I could easily pivot to this and become a FOSS solution. But, I wonder if it actually solves a problem. Essentially, I wanted my lemmy instance to allow sign-ups. But, the posts and channels were auto-generated. So when you log into the app or sign-up it creates a community in the instance along with it. (loom.nyc/c/pexavc) and then all the posts are automatically generated from the posts you save anywhere in the fediverse. (The app supports lemmy and mastodon for now). But, this would also allow all your bookmarks to essentially "federate".
Edit: Tbh, it sounds like a more "silent" cross-posting
Had a similar experience. Definitely agreed.
Yeah. I have found the simple act of "listening" goes so far. I had a manager whom always remembered the smallest things. Bring them up in team meetings months later. It was very motivating.

Removed the other comment.
Because I think I get the point now. I actually never heard of these services before. And didn’t realize people liked to share their “saves/bookmarks”. Or have people actively follow what they are bookmarking.
It’s super interesting.
Instead of being strict on Friday updates like this. I will leave it as between Friday and Sunday.
Some features (RSS Feeds/custom feed styles) and improvements will not appear until build v1.1.0b (2023.9.4) which should be sent out by tonight PST.

The 2 notable updates this week is content filtering and integrating FederationKit, which will aggregate not only Lemmy, but RSS Feeds, Mastodon, and more.
RSS and Mastodon's current integration is just for bookmarks and the main feed at the moment.
I have also added a new option to change the appearance of the feed to a more classic reader feel rather than social app.
| Aggregation Sources (Aside from Lemmy) | |
|---|---|
| RSS feeds can be pulled when setting the instance URL to a valid endpoint. Pagination is not currently supported, but will be in the future. Looking at supporting Atom/JSON streams as well. | |
| Mastodon feeds can be pulled when setting the instance URL to a valid mastodon instance. Pagination is not currently supported, but will be in the future. Interactions are disabled for the time being. |
| Safety | |
|---|---|
On-device CoreML models + keyword filtering to remove posts from the feed. NSFW Extended will remove posts that are detected as NSFW even if they are not flagged as so. Requires an image for inference, which can be generated even without a thumbnail_url property. (As long as a post url itself is available). |
| Styling | |
|---|---|
| Intended to allow full user customization in the future. Currently supports a "social app feel" and a "reddit-like reader". |

Note:
This week was lots of performance optimizations on the front-end as well as major underlying API changes for communicating with federated networks.
I have not kept iPad and macOS variants up to date (or at least have not tested them thoroughly. In theory they should be at least close to upto date as its the same codebase).
But since there are more testers on iPhone at the moment. I am looking at mobile as the flagship and goal to achieve very high stability and performance up to all iOS 15.4+ devices. I am hoping to bring the other form factors up to speed by the next feature summary.
I'd like to share the TestFlight in this community with a possible listing on other resources for Lemmy federated clients that are being actively supported.

Feel free to use the https://lemmy.world/c/loom community to post concerns, suggestions, bugs, and I will tend to them promptly!
macOS clients are always released via Github as notarized archives. Or, you could build it locally on your own.
Known Issues:
- Scrolling stutter
- Registration is not functional
- macOS (intel) optimizations
- I do not have an M-chip, so may be missing more macOS related bugs that need to be fixed
List of some major features are below:

Hope to run into some of them, some day. Has he gotten around to it yet?
