Hello all. I am giving a talk next week about making the most of the Fediverse, particularly for dotnet/MAUI developers. The first speaker is talking about creating a MAUI app from scratch. Of course, I shall be talking about our Lemmy MAUI Community, :-) but also other things, like accounts to follow, how to use Lemmy from Mastodon (follow/reply/post), etc. You can attend online. The times shown are GMT+11, and work out well for those in Europe but not so well for the U.S. (first speaker on at midnight-ish PST). I believe there’ll be a recording available afterwards, but of course watching live gives you the opportunity to ask questions at the time. Hope some of you can check it out.

Oh! I guess I should also say SMASH THAT DOTNETMAUI SUBSCRIBE BUTTON! 😂

F.A.B. - Fediverse Adventure Begin…

    I am giving a talk next week about making the most of the Fediverse

    The spirit of link aggregations sites and forums in general is to share ideas and foster discussion. This post is promoting an event. There are no ideas and there’s nothing to discuss.

    Perhaps wait until after you’ve given your talk and then share a link to a recording/transcript of it?

      Yeah I’ll pop the link to the recording in after, but the advance warning is for anyone who wants to watch live to be able to ask any questions at the time (and also to share the link with anyone who might benefit from watching it. e.g. those still stuck over in the other places).

        Fair enough. Just wanted to give a heads-up as to why there’s been a negative reception to the post. Good luck with the talk :)

          I’m used to there being grumpy people around now. ;-) (they’re somewhat unpredictable too - wait what? Why are you downvoting that?! 😂) I had nothing but positive reaction from the dotnet and MAUI communities. I think it maybe didn’t come across well enough here that even though there’s focus on dotnet/MAUI, what I’ll be talking about is applicable to any programmer who wants to find out how to get more out of the Fediverse. i.e. here’s the MAUI version of this tool, but said tool would also exist for other languages too, and if you can’t find it here’s the public repo where you could fork it. That was the reason I posted it here too anyway.

          P.S. thanks for the well wishes.

            Ha yes know exactly what you mean. The ActivityPub system I’ve written (from where you’ll receive this reply) just drops any Like/Dislike activity altogether!
