@caesar @caesar@indieweb.social I've manually pulled in @bumblefudge@socialhub.activitypub.rocks and @sortekanin@socialhub.activitypub.rocks's posts now.

@eeeee I am native posting only

Omega, From your descriptive posts I thought you were a writer, but now a Physicist!
Many talents

@eeeee I always get a Schrödinger's cat vibe off these fediverse topics am I the only one?

Personally I think the word
Federated is being used as if it was the word disseminated, which to me is more apt descriptively

“your post is disseminated across multiple platforms at once… this is the fediverse… and you are like a sun and each post a ray of light that eventually reaches planets... soon disparate planetary religions spring up worshipping your name spanning light years across the galaxies”

Maybe not the last bit

Here is an edite version of the wiki entry:

The fediverse is a collection of social networks that can communicate with each other using a common protocol. Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia files and other data across the network.

How about... the fediverse is like building a bunch of interstates between big websites

Absolutely, you never know if fediverse posts did or didnt propegate, until they are observed! Haha

Hmmm @sortekanin@socialhub.activitypub.rocks is it possible for whatever reason your posts no. 6 and no. 10 in this topic, were not originally available for me to read yesterday/ but I am reading them today, one was a reply to me (but saw no notification) other than I scrolled past too fast.

@eeeee Ha ha maybe you answered my last post as I was writing it!

One thing that hasnt really been tested yet, is volumes, and the data that needs to be shared if say contribitors are on different networks.
On your physics theme then the data share is potentially exponential as more people join the conversation.
A thread with 100 different origin posts and the updates required to keep everyone in sync

@eeeee When you wrote Explaining the fediverse is a hard problem.:

a thread with 100 different origin

Do you mean each post originating post actin was on a different platform but the entire thread of 100 post is potentially equally visible on each of those different platforms?

@omega yes, so post 101 could need to go to the previous (up to) 100 servers so those threads are in sync

@eeeee In the context of this topic how man quantum instances might exist?

@omega said in Explaining the fediverse is a hard problem.:

@eeeee In the context of this topic how many quantum instances might exist out in the fediverse?

Two, they talk about up and down spin
Analagous to up and down voting on Nodebb lol

Incidentally @omega, I direct messaged on you here a while ago, did you see it?
It appears our federated convo working better tgan local one

@eeeee @omega if you are attempting to communicate to a remote account (outside of this NodeBB instance), it must be done publicly. Non-public messages received by NodeBB are rejected because NodeBB does not support the concept of limited post visibility at this time.

@julian as I contibuted to this thread also from my mastodon account, should that (in principle) be getting notified of additional comments on here.
Its currently not, which does negate the observation that data transfer would increase as more people join a topic. However the exponential propagation previously mentioned does not seem to be working - its only on nodebb that this thread is expanding now?
