  • I think there are several servers that don’t try to match any particular dominant player.

    It’s really down to the follow-person or follow-community model. AP supports both, but I’ve seen few servers or clients that support both. Which should be possible; it’s something that frequently annoys me about every Lemmy client I’ve tried: sometimes, there are people I’d like to follow, and get everything they post, regardless of community, in my feed.


  • I have a GoToSocial server, which is pure AP, not Mastodon. Misskey is still a microblogging platform, right? One of the people I interacted with a lot when I was trying it ran a Misskey server, and she used it like a microblogging tool.

    It’s the modality of it. There’s a category of servers that follow the Twitter model: people follow people, and posts are usually short and frequent throughout the day. Then there’s the Reddit model: people join communities, and tend to do more periodic binge browsing.

    Misskey - as I understand it - is a follow-the-person, shorter post model; the Twitter model. Lemmy models after Reddit.

    I prefer the community model.



















  • I don’t have an end-to-end solution, but I will say as a former Pebble user that I’m delighted with my BangleJS watch. It’s inexpensive, I charge it once a week, and it has the usual activity tracker hardware including heart rate monitor. There are a ton of apps. It’s less “hacker” and more polished for non-technical users than you might expect; if you’re running Linux, this is absolutely within your comfort zone. It also has a temp monitor, so it can detect when the watch it being worn or not.

    The customized GadgetBridge Android app is good, most of the programming is in JavaScript, and the developer community is active and responsive.

    A quick glance through the app “store” (they’re nearly all free) shows there’s a heart alarm app, which seems aimed at notifying the wearer. Another app publishes heart rate over bluetooth, so someone must have a pair device that monitors heart rates.

    I didn’t see anything obvious in the ecosystem, but since the data is going to GadgetBridge already, it’s most of the way there; if GadgetBridge could publish to web hooks, with ntfy you could get alerts from watch to partner’s phone. I haven’t yet looked through the GB issues to see if someone has already requested it, and I’ve only done light digging in the app itself; it may already support this.

    It’s worth investigating.

    Edit looks like others have requested similar features (and this, and this); it hasn’t been implemented yet.
