I know there is mobilzon but mobilzon is a meetup.com clone whereas evite is different.

Evite you can create an event and invite people via email or send them a link. They can rsvp and add it to their calendars.

Come of these features are covered by mobilzon but not quite. Evite doesn't require you make a group or add people to the group as members. It's a little more atomic. Honestly I think it's a good deal more flexible than the meetup/mobilzon design pattern.

About 10 months ago I posted this thread saying that it would be useful for the fediverse to consider post once, share everywhere paradigms: https://lemmy.ml/post/641509

And now we have The Verge writers saying similar things: https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/23/23928550/posse-posting-activitypub-standard-twitter-tumblr-mastodon

Maybe worth re-considering.

Just curious.

Let's say you're on reddit and someone posts an imgur gallery, from an app like Boost you can view and browse that album without leaving boost.

But if I post a link to a mastodon toot that has 4 images, and I click the post in jerboa it will instead open a new window into the actual mastodon page.

I've argued for the value of "post once distribute everywhere" but if that paradigm isn't right for the fediverse at the very least the ux for linking mastodon image posts could be improved. Instead of posting once distributing everywhere it would be at least possible to post once and then link everywhere. (this doesn't fix issues like trying to get stuff like pixelfed working but it's worth a thought)

I've asked about this before, see my post history. But the fact that pixelfed, mastodon, and lemmy can all be subscribed to from one instance or another, isn't a replacement for a "post once distribute everywhere" solution.

Yes its true that a pixelfed and a mastodon can follow one another and because you can post images to mastodon and pixelfed images can have text they can often be basically identical in terms of potential feed content. But lemmy is something that I would post to communities.

It would be helpful if I could use an app to simultaneously post to my mastodon, my pixelfed, and to a range of lemmy communities and or cross posting between communities on lemmy.

I suggested in my previous post the ability to post to a mastodon with certain hashtags triggering getting sent to different lemmy communities. I think that still works as an idea but I think perhaps this new framing helps explain why it's not as simple as "have them follow your pixelfed from their mastodon". If posting once to distribute to both mastodon and lemmy community makes sense then I don't see why it shouldn't be reasonable that there are some cases where the same is true of pixelfed and mastodon (I said in response to one comment that you might have different audiences)

I think the biggest issue with lemmy so far is lack of content and engagement. Same thing is true with mastodon. The anti viral design ethos of mastodon encourages people to avoid tools like "post once distribute everywhere" I think perhaps people view it as potential for spam. But we really need some actual tools to make posting content easier.

I make a lot of art with neural networks. I don't want to dump stuff all at once but I'd prefer to space it out for people. Is that feature built into the web client or is there a way to do it via script or something?

I get a reply from someone but I want to see the context for our conversation: in Boost for Reddit I can do that. I can't do that with jerboa as far as I can see.
