Re: "Mirrored Content on Gemini"

(For the record, comments and regular posts both can use the draft composer to assemble longer content. Check out the Help page for details about the "Special Commands".)

@akrabu:

But now. where to land? What to keep? What to let go? And what to post where? And yes, what to crosspost? All very good questions...

I have been thinking about this same thing wrt Bubble vs. Station vs. Mastodon, i.e., the microblogging services I'm using.

It seems to me that in an ideal situation your content should live in one place that you control, and you could (re)publish it various other places as a mirror or excerpt, linking to the original post.

ActivityPub basically does exactly that, but in the context of Gemini, I think it's a little too complex... A gemlog + Antenna fits the bill quite well, but gemlogs are more geared toward longer standalone posts, so for microblogging it's not a good fit. I think I'd prefer posting here on /u/skyjake, or on a hypothetical Bubble-based skyjake.fi, and have it automatically crosspost to Mastodon.

why mirror when you can link?

@gyaradong, some of us never go on the bigweb...

@stack I meant link from BBS to home gemini pod and mirror to that instead of mirroring the content on BBS. Reddit has a "link" post type.

Mirrored Content on Gemini โ€” Is it rude to mirror content on Geminispace? I'm not sure what my own opinion on this is, much less what others think. For example, if I make a post on my personal phlog on SDF, would it be rude to also post it to /u/Ruby_Witch on here? I mean the entire post, not just a link to the post. I feel like people are a lot more likely to actually read something if they don't have to click through. I like having my own private phlog where everything is stored, but it's...
