Release v3.2.2 of Ktistec

Todd Sundsted @toddsundsted@epiktistes.com

The big feature in release v3.2.2 of Ktistec is pinned posts with support for the Mastodon Featured Posts collection. Federation works both ways—pin a post on Ktistec and it will show up as a pinned post on Mastodon and vice versa. When you refresh an actor profile, Ktistec also fetches and updates the actor's pinned posts. This is another small step in the direction of supporting all features that Mastodon-compatible client applications expect to access via the API. It's also useful in its own right.

The other major feature, which I posted a short video demonstrating here, is X-Ray Mode. X-Ray Mode is a developer and power-user tool for inspecting ActivityPub JSON-LD representations of actors, objects, and other content. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+X on any page displays the data behind the page—like an x-ray. You can:

  • Cached Version: View the local JSON-LD representation stored in the Ktistec database
  • Remote Version: Fetch and view the original JSON-LD representation from the source server
  • Navigation: Click on any ActivityPub IRI to navigate to that object
  • History: Use Alt+Left and Alt+Right to navigate through your viewing history

This feature is useful for debugging federation issues, understanding ActivityPub structures, and verifying how content is stored and represented.

Here's the full changelog for the release:

Added

  • Support for pinned posts and the Mastodon "featured posts" collection.
  • X-Ray Mode for viewing and navigating JSON-LD resource (actor, object, etc.) representations.
  • Back links on thread pages for easier navigation. (fixes #1)
  • License page for LibreJS compliance. (fixes #127)
  • Highlighting of recently fetched hashtagged posts.

Changed

  • Improved presentation of audio and video media.
  • Refactored theming/styling implementation.

The next release will focus on smaller features and bug fixes.

Enjoy!

My 40-year-old wife went to buy champagne for our wedding anniversary dinner. I phoned the off licence after she left, gave a description of her and what she was buying and requested they ask her for ID. She came home absolutely beaming. It's the simple things.

check out how quickly (and ) can check out a giant git repository without any changes!

if supported by the server, it retrieves only a single tree from git (no other branches, no tags, no history, no file contents), backfills it from the existing site contents, and then pulls in any missing files from the git server on-demand

this lets you publish very large repositories as static sites without straining network and compute (for compression, etc) resources!

Hey everyone,

@joynewaccJoy, @aseelfromgzA S E E L, and I had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Ameen.Gaza (@ameengaza)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

gaza-verified.org/donate/

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

Odbory respektují nález Ústavního soudu o převedení zaměstnance na jinou práci, ale nesouhlasí s ním. Chtějí s budoucí vládou a zaměstnavateli jednat o úpravě zákoníku práce, aby o druhu vykonávané práce zaměstnanec a zaměstnavatel spolurozhodovali. Řekl to předseda ČMKOS Josef Středula.
