Does SSB still make it impossible to share a single identity across multiple devices? (I.e. I'd like to log into my identity from my laptop but see that same identity's feed on my phone.)<p>I want to participate, but periodically I check <a href="https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/faq/applications/multiple-devices.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.scuttlebutt.nz/faq/applications/multiple-devices...</a> and it hasn't changed, and for me, having a single device to which the entirety of my identity is tied is a non-starter. Even so, the tech seems interesting, and I hope that limitation goes away one day.
One of my issues with Secure Scuttlebutt is that it is difficult to participate unless you already know other people there. I joined and began messaging other users and commenting on the community hashtags - only to discover that no one was going to get my messages until they subscribed to me. This means that I either need to message those users outside of the network - or I need to run into them irl.<p>Is this a feature of SSB or a bug? I mean once I'm in the network and well-entrenched, I could see it being a feature. But how do I even get to that point? (Oh and does Manyverse address this at all? Sorry I don't have Android.)
To anyone using a degoogled Android phone: A F-Droid release IS planned [1].<p>[1] <a href="https://twitter.com/manyver_se/status/1044569401595514880" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/manyver_se/status/1044569401595514880</a>
This actually sounds like a pretty great idea. Self hosting content is the only reliable way to prevent the perverse incentives and costs of centralization. But only having mobile apps for it makes it useless.
I really do like SSB in concept, but I am kinda sad that it seems to fit mainly for social networks. I would like to see something more discussion/topic focused than user centric, but of course with the whole peer to peer and offline aspects.
Can anybody explain the important differences between this and Briar/Bramble[1]?<p>[1] <a href="https://dymaxion.org/essays/briarvision.html" rel="nofollow">https://dymaxion.org/essays/briarvision.html</a> previously discussed at <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18027949" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18027949</a>

Hm, if the author happens to be on here: I can't seem to email bug reports.<p>"Unfortunately, your email to GitLab could not be processed. We couldn't find the project. Please check if there's any typo."<p>Also, are issues turned off on the repo?
I like the concept and installed the android app.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't call it a beta version. I would say alpha since it seems to ... lack a lot. I was even unable to report a bug via the in-app mail link. Got a response that there is no such project on gitlab ;)
hi, if anyone wants to start with a public social network (instead of building one with your existing friends), here's an invite:<p>many.butt.nz:8008:@o3OcykTU7zdsm+WKoGl74XAoyDI/SWlVbIeyHHinQXQ=.ed25519~Se1dEm/vb/9c/pKs9eqGY7514p0b7KdR5/+myMIKCKo=<p>welcome to the 'verse! ️️
What are some solutions to posting something that you later regret? Pretty much nothing is my guess since it's like sending an email and regretting it later.<p>Does the sync allow for deletion too?
