so is f2ap the porn hosting one, or is that just a really poorly chosen name?

They all have poorly chosen names to be fair. Open source projects choose the worst names and most confusing UX and then call everyone dumb for using programs that actually try to get people to enjoy them or at least be able to spell them
Made up spellings are bad, but good luck searching for anything that isn't a made up spelling or two words put together.
That is the clear difference to close source. YouTube, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Adobe, Twitter, PowerPoint or Word are amazing names....
Sorry you're just in the wrong because you don't know how to easily spell my new app nncjcosiwhebf
duh.
f2ap (Feed to ActivityPub) is a web application that uses the RSS/Atom feed of your website to expose it on the Fediverse through ActivityPub.
C’mon, it’s just fap
I gave you a github link so you could go tell that to the creator
Someone is projecting, I see.
Wow, lots of fediverse projects I had no idea existed! Epicyon for example. Although I dont think bluesky is part of the fediverse...
See, this is why I keep struggling when I'm telling someone about something I heard on here and they ask if it was on reddit
"No... it was on erm... well... it's this other place. It's not reddit... thank God it's not reddit but it's called erm... well it was Mbin and then that shut down and then it was kbin and now I'm on fedia.io but actually it's lemmy... but it's part of the fediverse... I think? it's... yeah it's like reddit basically but it's not... anyway this asteroid is going to zip by the earth later today. Here's a live youtube page that's tracking it" 🤣
It's on poob. Poob has it for you.
Some of them are definitely more descriptive than others.
Lemmy's isn't great, but at least it's not a generic chat box or radio waves, or a graph (nodes and lines)
honk.
Are calckey and firefish still alive? Also Lemmy has by far the ugliest icon.
I thought CalcKey renamed themselves to Firefish, and then development on the whole project stopped? I know that Sharkey is a popular fork that still seems to be in development.
No, Firefish died off some time after it was rebranded from Calckey. (that's the short explanation)
Does the creator of seppo know what seppo means? Is the intent for it to mean the same thing or is it named that for some other reason?
What does seppo mean and in which language? It doesn't mean anything in the languages I know.
It means yank or someone from the USA in Australian english. Commonly used in Australia and anti-USA circles.
It is rhyming slang
Australian slang, a very rude euphisism for a US citizen.
It's rhyming slang for Yank (Yankee doodle dandy) --> septic tank -- > Seppo
I would have never thought of that linguistic flow. :)
So much branding, so little time.
Iconography clearly 'designed' by coders.
What is honk? A web search doesn't seem to turn up much detail ..
Oh, never mind, there's a link
