PyLova is a fork of PieFed and flairs and tags are their shared feature.

Many of these probably need some custom software features but they should not break compatibility with existing fediverse that much. Here, one can make a platform fully dedicated to sport(s), yet fully compatible with other parts of 'verse.

• Let users set their followed disciplines, teams, and maybe even announce it? Groups for fans of specific side?
• More seamless live-posting during events. Events are already used by e.g. Mobilizon and PieFed and one could from event page come to a prepared live feed (input box already prepopulated with appropriate hashtags as they tend to be predictable, /kbin-style attributing federated posts via tags to these feeds, etc.).
• “Fan’s treasure” or „skarb kibica”, like it’s called in Poland. All must have information on the season’s athletes, teams and pitches/tracks/whatever. Here, it could be done via wiki.
• Leverage of APIs (many of which are free) for showing results, etc.
• Integration with external video platforms. I doubt, that big sport is going to be broadcast via PeerTube or Owncast, but even some high profile events are available on e.g. YouTube. During every year’s 24 heures du Mans, several racing teams set up live streams from their cars for publicity. If users could watch these streams (and switch between them) and comment events on the track via our federated site’s account, this could even work, at least for this kind of event?

Live event posting should be compatible more with microblogging, Lemmy-like discussion works more for periods between or just after the match.

Mastodon excels in updates. If a niche is alive on Mastodon, then you will get news from it before Lemmy. Especially in infosec, or (if you are from Europe, especially from Germany or the Netherlands) local news.
In a way, shitposting is also freer on microblogging, without Threadiverse’s pigeonholing into different magazines/communities

The discussion may have worse UX. Only selected alternative frontends (like phanpy.social) have got nested threads like here and until recently, replies were delivered only to replier’s follower instances, resulting with users not seeing all the discussion and inconsistent threads between instances.

Both Holos and Fedihood use LLMs for help with documentation, code review and automated actions, like refactoring or tests

MBin has embraced C4 and has got no single maintainer nor BDfL. It is a fork of /kbin (RIP), whose author (a Pole), Ernest, nobody had a problem with.

Another Polish creation, Prismo, is technically older than /kbin, or even Lemmy, and strikes back! Prismo is more of a Hacker News/Lobste.rs clone than Reddit one (despite less minimalistic looks), and got rid of magazines/communities, preferring to maintain smaller, topical instances, with hashtags being main tool to filter posts by topic. Prismo’s federation is under work: it works mainly with Mastodon (and maybe other microblogging) and MBin.

Unfortunately, his account has been suspended, not freezed (which would retain the account - but simply prevent him from using it), so he cannot migrate his followers to another instance.

Also unfortunate, that a pick-your-poison moderation policy choice remains apparently a brand new sentence for any “normie”.

Not at all. Audit log with moderation decisions technically exists, but is visible only to admin and moderator, and contains only actions by local staff.

PieFed zip has removed at least the vote quota (or rather, they made it irrevelant)

Bluesky is harmless to Threadiverse. ATmosphere nas got no Reddit alternative.

(…) you must now refer to meme shitposts as “articles” in “magazines”

Neither /kbin nor MBin call(ed) image post an “article” And an unpopular opinion: “magazine” fits more as name for sub than “community”. Especially when all content is posted just by one used for own, curiosity, entertainmment or something.

·pond is under development: you can follow its development on Mastodon or something: @pppond@mastodon.social, and join its Matrix chat at #pppapp:matrix.org

Fun fact: its creator made Prismo, which was a federated link aggregator even before Lemmy. Unfortunately, Prismo content never made it to Lemmy as former ceased to exist and latter federated only later.

I’m not sure, though, if all the features are available with Lemmy.

They are on PieFed.

I tried to subscribe to a PeerTube channel on Lemmy, but it looks that it stuck on “Subscribe pending”. However, copy-paste of a video URL works, and I was able to watch and comment the vid using Lemmy.

Check your output as it may be less accurate than your effort.

AI is able to extensively describe a photo, like these published on !pics@lemmy.world , but fails at seeing, what part of it is actually important, or recognising a point of a meme. It will save you many keystrokes, but probably will still need to be manually corrected.
