Does anyone else have this issue with their Ghost 6.9.0 blog?

I can write posts, I can follow other people, but the explore tab is completely empty and even when I follow other accounts, I cannot read their messages in the "Reader" section.

No matter if I try to use "top" or any other topic. I always get a "404". ActivityPub initialization seems to be fine though.

What am I missing? (yes, the domain name is redacted)

Post explicando de forma mais detida o NeoDB e sua instância ocidental, a eggplant.place.

Nele, há um contexto histórico e um tutorial de como adicionar mídia (livros, filmes, séries, games, jogos de tabuleiro e podcasts).

O texto é longo, mas deixei um Sumário para ir direto a parte desejada.

PS: Não sei como fazer aquele código HTML ou Markdown para clicar e ampliar a imagem. Por enquanto, se o print estiver muito pequeno, basta dar zoom com Control + Scroll do Mouse :-) Depois tento editar e melhorar isso.

Has anyone else had trouble with the shared inbox?

Seems hits to /f/inbox don't send a username. Worker gives the error: "ActivityHandler: No username provided, skipping job"

Likes from self-hosted go to the user inbox, Boosts and Comments go to the shared one.

I disable shared inbox in pixelfed .env and Mastodon still sends to /f/inbox even after refreshing the cached pixelfed profile.

At least I know why it's happening now!

Hot take: Your ActivityPub project is invisible.

I got TechCrunch coverage for Loops with literally just a signup form because I wouldn't shut up about it.

Ship in public. Make noise. Be annoying if you have to.

Stop being humble. Start being loud. Your project deserves attention but you have to demand it.

They want you to think building platforms like TikTok requires billions in VC funding.

Reality: Laravel, Vue, federation, and a vision beyond profit.

@loops is my middle finger to tech gatekeepers who said only monopolies can build this.

High school dropout + open source + refusing to compromise = your federated TikTok.

The tools were always free. They just didn't want you to know.

Plot twist: TikTok's "secret sauce" is recommendation ML + video encoding (likely ffmpeg like the rest of us).

They built their empire on open source foundations.

We're doing the same with @loops but keeping it open, federated, and yours.

The magic was open source all along.

Who's really disrupting who?

@alice🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄) made a downright AMAZING post about the perils of open registration a while ago, and I suggest you go show them some attention. But some of the discussion on that post got me thinking. The main reason people don't want manual account approval, it seems, is because of the time it takes. So, I propose a third registration mode. This would require no extra modifications to ActivityPub and perhaps one minor tweak to nodeinfo (1/?)

@benpateBen Pate 🤘🏻 oh no, not at all.

The fediverse curated lists have a low barrier to entry. Even the intent of creating an based app is enough to get listed. The list serves the dev ecosystem first and foremost, helps make ongoing work easier to find, encourage cross-pollination.

You can see this e.g. in the delightful-fediverse-experience list table of contents with the 🌱 seeding links to ⏱️ planned entries. But also regardless of state a project is in, it is eligible.

client to server is severely impaired by "authorized fetch" because usually before building an Activity to send to an Actor's outbox, one would want to validate some of the IRIs they operate on.

For example, I want to build a Follow request for a remote actor (represented by an IRI or webfinger resource). My client won't allow me to add this random IRI as the Object of the Follow and just send it, it wants to dereference it and make sure it's a valid Actor.

However when authorized fetch is enabled on that actor's instance, this mechanism will fail, because the client can't generate a valid HTTP Signature for its request. :(

UPDATE: It's not only Google Gemini AI, some people tried out others and it also pulled information out. From describing people's profile to sometimes even going deeper in detail (giving email out) or making shit up.

Warning ⚠️ Google Gemini AI apparently can describe some fediverse profiles correctly to the point of exposing people's full name or making shit up. Implement safety ASAP.

Edit: I think my braincells after hours of being fried might figured out that some of those situations might be Gemini grabbing references from other websites that the person/user might have same or similar username. Even higher chances if the user has mentioned their fedi profile there. It got information that shouldn't be displayed. I guess it's time to not use same username everywhere. It's wrong anyway because ????? Why would an AI do that ?????

I forgot how tedious it is to chase code coverage when writing tests.

However this was part of the reason that made me include the "boring" parts of building a robust library into the goals set for the grant.

So after a couple of days of work I finally got the first of the storage backends for the library go past 80% test coverage.

I hope I can reuse some of the test logic in the other backends, as they need to perform identically.

A re-imagining / envisioning of a good role and purpose for Linked Data is required. In our fedi field. Visualising things in concept designs, and product-oriented descriptions of what linked data will bring, is much required. Not "add technical sauce, magic happens" handwaving stage for the and business domains we are exploring (I am sure that librarians and gov did find the right pitch decks on their table, that made them adopt the technology).

Mastodon's web client also show the hashtag bar when the hashtag are «out of band» in hashtag-tag w3.org/TR/activitystreams-voca but not in the post itself, e.g. like some posts from as quoted here.

Maybe other clients should display something similar to the hashtag bar? @phanpy, @tootappToot!.app ↙︎↙︎↙︎ @ivoryIvory by Tapbots :emoji_wink: ?

Event tough some clients don't show the out-of-band-hashtags, they are still searchable.

tootik v0.19.9
=> github.com/dimkr/tootik
tootik is a federated nanoblogging service for the small internet.
tootik allows people to participate in the fediverse using their Gemini, Gopher or Finger client of choice and makes the fediverse lighter, more private and more accessible. tootik's interface strips content to bare essentials (like text and links), puts the users in control of the content they see and tries to "slow down" the fediverse to make it more compatible with the slower pace of the small internet.
It's a single executable that handles both the federation (using ActivityPub) and the frontend (using Gemini) aspects, while sqlite takes care of persistency. It should be lightweight and efficient enough to host a small community even on a cheap server, and hopefully, be easy to hack on.
tootik implements only a small subset of ActivityPub, and probably doesn't really conform to the spec.

I like what I've heard about Bonfire, and I like the emphasis on community-run servers over a central flagship server (e.g., mastodon.social), but this trend worries me a bit:

“…the movement of starting a new fediverse server was heavily tied to the Mastodon migration effect that started after Elon Musk took over, in the fall of 2022. After that period, much fewer communities have started a new Mastodon server. This poses a challenge for the approach of Bonfire: the Bonfire Social software is now officially released in a 1.0 version, but there is not a single publicly accessible server that runs Bonfire.”

Release v3.2.0 of Ktistec

Todd Sundsted @toddsundsted@epiktistes.com

The major feature in v3.2.0 of Ktistec is thread analysis. The previous release, v3.1.2, added support for viewing threads from Lemmy communities. I follow the Open Source community, which leads to many large threads. The thread on FFMpeg and Google has 112 posts and is still growing.

Thread analysis helps me navigate these extensive conversations. It includes: top contributors, a timeline histogram, and notable branches.

The analysis applies several heuristics to identify interesting branches of the main thread. “Interesting” is subjective, but the algorithm currently looks for sudden bursts of activity and highlights those areas. Ktistec uses this to create a table of contents that links directly to those branches. Clicking on one of these links takes you to a branch-only view that focuses on the selected part of the thread.

It's fast—I anticipated needing to cache analyses, but analyzing a thread with over 400 posts takes only about 50 milliseconds on my production server.

Figure 1: Screenshot of the final design. Notable branches link to subsets of the thread.

This release also addresses an object visibility regression that was introduced in a previous version.

Full Changelog

Added

  • Thread analysis that displays key participants, a timeline histogram, and notable branches
  • New MCP tools: analyze_thread and get_thread
  • Focal point rendering support for image attachments

Fixed

  • Regression in object visibility affecting replies to threads

Changed

  • Enhanced MCP tool details for likes, dislikes, and announces
  • Improved cookie security.
