Perhaps ask your admin for help? May be a glitch in libranet. -

Nah, I'm asking for blog posts etc explaining what, other then th eprotocol, is needed for federation. You said above that using the same protocol is not enough to ensure federation, so I suppose that (beside instance- / user-blocks) "more" is involved. I was curious about the "more". -

Well: Repeats from the aforementioned servers never appear in my TL. And I never get any email notification (but I guess that is supposed to be so). When notices of other people appear in my TL it's always because someone I subscribe to replies to these. -

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/109300967725833789
So @Gargron calls "network" the network of mastodon running servers, that is, a subset of the #fediverse, not the fediverse as a whole. Good to know. And no wonder the media got confused and equates both. Yokel! -

I never receive repeats from mastodon and pleroma instances or from gnusocial instances other than our instance. -

I have no idea.
Tags seem sometimes to collect their counterparts from other instances but most often they don't. (Which has the unintended benefit that they can be used as bookmarks.)
Repeats are never federated, neither from other gnusocial instances nor from mastodon-, pleroma-, friendica- or otherwise run instances. -

I'm not happy rolling myself in doom and gloom, but with Russia and its centuries of brutalised treatment of its populace that makes it prone to a glorification of brutality and abuse I cannot see any other prospect. The best example seems to me the glorification of the Stalin era of the past 30 years. Every family suffered under the Stalin terror but at least the suffering brought meaning so that sacrifices cannot be allowed to have been in vain. This pathology in vast parts of the Russian society glorifies brutality and suffering and sees defeat only as temporary. I indeed think that a defeat in the Ukrainian war (should there be one), esp. without any chances of a deep change in society and politcs, will reinforce the authoritarian habits. That is: Russia will continue on its path. -

Thank you. It will be helpful if the topic is raised from your side as well. -

Good to know. Can you point me to sources explaining to me in simple terms what needs to be added that things federate? Just out of curiosity and not to burden your time with long explanations... -

re: https://gnusocial.net/conversation/7453278#notice-12980032
A Russian defeat won't make it a more civilised nation, not even in the long run. On the contrary, they'd dug in, grow more bitter as the defeat made them poorer, which, on the other hand, would increase it megalomania and sense of historic mission, only to strike again.
True, every major country with a sense of purpose and destiny finally had to give up on these due to a military defeat – Japan, Germany, the UK, Spain, France... all empires turned nations after military defeat ended their sense of destiny. (Which, by the way, is why the U.S. still rolls in its sense of glory and purpose.) A nation that relishes in power and glory needs a defeat from oustside for a chance to leave its sense of mission behind.
But that is not all. China overcame defeat, Russia will too. What distinguishes both from say Germany and Japan after WW II, is that the victorious powers occupied the land and engaged in training people and bureaucratic layers to adopt representative democracy, liberal values ("liberal" not in the sense of "progressive" but as in "egalitarianism"), a market economy more or less balanced with social welfare. Russia doesn't have that nor will it have it in the future. Revanchism is thus the prospect (like Germany after WW I), not the embrace of good citizenry. (And the U.S. doesn't have these things either which is why it is deemed by so many the most dangerous country in the world.) -

As gs.net does have OStatus and ActivityPub, I don't understand why mutual subscriptions aren't possible. Esp. as there is no problem for our mutual subscribings with your old account on mastodon.social (excepts for Repeats and Boosts) which dropped OStatus-support altogether. Perhaps the maintainer of your instance's softare can figure things out. Hope you keep posting another while form your old m.s.-account. -

Where I can I prefer dead tree editions. This one is the "Handwörterbuch des Deutschen Aberglaubens" (1927-1942). There are a lot of low-priced reprints in paperback but I managed to get the hardcover 1st edition in a nearly pristine condition. It was published by Walter de Gruyter in Berlin, and the time of publishing may raise serious reluctance, but the editors and the editorial staff have been Swiss academics. Wonderful articles, with an overwhelming width of sources. Obviously outdated today, but modern dictionaries on that topic, although with different editorial guidelines, are not better, often don't even match it. Just another confirmation for my predilection for outdated and neglected dictionaires and encyclop(a)edias. :-) https://gnusocial.net/attachment/1338d465f5a01df0ebf8fb21b745c769851cdcb47272d384ccb655a1933cd076/view -

No, there are people from other instances posting to this group. Also I am a member of ! fnetworks, which resides on nu.federati.net: https://nu.federati.net/group/239/id I don't know what prevents your joining the group, perhaps @administrator can explain. -

Looks like a new gnusocial instance has opened shop: https://gnusocial.jp/gnu2. Welcome! It even offers a pleroma frontend for those in favour of that. Cool. -

I don't know. @administrator didn't cut back on functionality for that reason, as far as I know. My guess is that it's a glitch in the software, perhaps the upcoming v3 of gnusocial brings some improvements.
