@lgsp se usi anche l'app per Lemmy sei il mio eroe! Credevo di essere l'unico ad avercela ancora installata, e solo perché è in gran parte roba mia quindi mi dispiaceva disinstallarla 😂 scherzi a parte, ci tornerò su eh, pian piano sto ritirando su tutti i pezzi...

Poliversity.it evolve grazie a Mastodon Glitch-soc, un fork amichevole. Poliversity consentirà quindi post lunghi fino a 9999 caratteri, formattazione del testo, scrittura di messaggi visibili solo in locale, modalità thread e... gli scarabocchi...
Poliversity è una comunità dedicata alla ricerca scientifica e al giornalismo, all'università e all'istruzione ed è nata per promuovere il diritto alla conoscenza e la corretta informazione
Ti rispondo a grandi linee, poi @macfranc mi correggerà o ti risponderà meglio di me.
È aperto a tutti? È un'istanza tematica, dedicata a giornalismo, informazione, istruzione, scuola. Perciò chi ci s'iscrive dev'essere almeno interessato a questi temi se non proprio coinvolto come "mestiere". Ciò non esclude che si possa andare "fuori tema" ogni tanto, ma sarebbe cosa buona non perdere di vista il focus.
È federato con Threads? Poliversity vede gli account di Threads federati (che come sai non sono europei, inoltre sai bene che non si tratta di vera federazione ma solo di visibilità), tant'è vero che ne seguo alcuni account interessanti.
È possibile migrare da un account Mastodon classico? Sì, ci si può migrare. Io ci arrivai migrando da Livello Segreto.
Ti ricordo @lgsp che la "migrazione" di Mastodon è un po' una sòla, nel senso che puoi trasferire da un account a un altro i follower e gli utenti seguiti, ma non certo i post del vecchio account
Si tratta della app più completa mai vista finora per Friendica e, oltre a funzionare anche con Mastodon, è —da quello che ho potuto vedere— l'unica app al mondo che è in grado di gestire le potenzialità di Mastodon Glitch-soc!
Complimenti a @dieguitux8623 che è riuscito a fare un vero capolavoro e mi auguro che lo sviluppo prosegua altrettanto bene rispetto a come è iniziato. Adesso mi auguro che ci siano tanti utilizzatori che possano apprezzarla.

Chatting comes to the ATmosphere with Picosky, X is unbanned in Brazil, and a significant group of Brazilians moved back, and a deeper dive into aviary.domains.
Chatting comes to the ATmosphere with Picosky, X is unbanned in Brazil, and a significant group of Brazilians moved back, and a deeper dive into aviary.domains.
Picosky
Picosky is a new chatting service build on top of atproto. Picosky was created by Juliet, and started as an experiment with building an simple chatting app on atproto, originally limited to just 12 characters per message. It was a demonstration of making an AppView for chatting on atproto that utilises the existing infrastructure of the network: You log in with your Bluesky/atproto account, messages are stored on your PDS, and the PicoSky AppView listens to all the messages on the Relay and displays them. The direct connection of your Bluesky account made it a fun place for atproto hackers to hang out, which expanded the scope of Picosky quickly to a serious project.
Over the last week or so Picosky has undergone rapid changes by the developers Juliet and Elainya: you can log in with OAuth, the character limit got increased multiple times, now at 2048, you can edit and delete your posts, and UI updates where it is now a clear and minimalist proper chat UI.
The simple structure of Picosky, and the way that it integrates with the atproto infrastrucuture, makes Picosky an attractive place to further build on by other developers: one of the first Picosky-compatible projects to make it available via IRC. This is a separate AppView, that reads the same posts as the Picosky AppView does, and that can fully interact (federate) with each other. Other projects in the works are an iOS client or one for the terminal.
Meanwhile, the Lexicon structure (which determines the format of the messages) has had a major update the other day: there is now support for creating separate rooms on Picosky. Anyone can create rooms, and the owner of the room can set moderation to be based on a deny-list or an allow-list. The frontend has not been updated yet to take advantage of this however, but I’m sure we’ll get back to Picosky next week.
The News
It is now a week since X has been unbanned in Brazil, and a significant part of the Brazilian user base that joined Bluesky has gone back to X. Daily Active User count dropped by half, from 1.2M to 600k. This number was around 300k before the ban, indicating that a large number of Brazilians did stick around: Portuguese is still the most popular language of the platform; 45% of posts are in Portuguese, compared to 32% English posts. It shows that social networks are extremely sticky, and people have very high switching costs. In that context, Bluesky has done well with the number of Brazilian who stayed around after X became unbanned.
Bluesky is hiring, and they are looking for a Feed Algorithmics Engineer. The job is to “design and implement machine learning models to improve personalized content recommendations, spam detection, labeling, and more.” As the network grows, so do the challenges of providing algorithmic recommendations for feeds and spam detection.
Threads struggles with moderation on their platform, and Bluesky is seizing the opportunity by creating an account on Threads to promote the platform as an alternative on (and to) Threads.
Altmetric, which tracks online engagement with academic research, is looking for people that are willing to help with feedback sessions for their Bluesky attention tracking roll-out.
Bluesky has updated their app (v1.92), with some new features: you can now pin a post to your profile. There are also design improvements, including new font options. You can also now filter your searches by language.
TOKIMEKI, an alternative client for Bluesky, now supports showing your atproto-powered Linkat and WhiteWind profiles.
Threads struggles with moderation on their platform, and Bluesky is seizing the opportunity by creating an account on Threads to promote the platform as an alternative on (and to) Threads.
Frontpage, a link-aggregator platform build on atproto, is now open and available for everyone to use. The developers say that they’ll work on notifications first, and that decentralised and self-sovereign sub-communities are coming later.
For the protocol-people: what happens when there are clashing lexicon fields? Nick Gerakines publishes his thoughts on how the Lexicon system can evolve, with some additional thoughtsby Bluesky protocol engineer Bryan Newbold.
Deep dive: Aviary.domains
Aviary.domains is a new service that helps managing domains for Bluesky and the ATmosphere, that recently launched in early access. Aviary makes it easy for people who have a domain name to share that domain name with other people as their handle.
To place Aviary in a larger context, a short explanation: It helps to understand as the central offering of the ATmosphere being a single digital identity. When you first sign up for Bluesky, two things happen:
You join the ATmosphere, by creating a digital identity (a DID) that works with all other products that are build on atproto.
You log in with this newly created identity into Bluesky, and use Bluesky with this digital identity.
This digital identity, a DID (Decentralized IDentifier) is a unique string of letters and numbers that can never change, which is good for computers because it is unique, but very unpractical for humans to use. That’s why you have a handle, which corresponds behind the scenes with your DID. The idea of atproto is to use a website domain name as your handle. You can always change your handle to a different handle if you want, as long as you have a website domain you can use. Most people do not have their own website domain, so when you first join the ATmosphere and your DID gets created, Bluesky also gives you one of their sub domains you can use: yourname.bsky.social.
The goal for Bluesky is that people use their website domains as their handle, as it gives an easy way to verify ownership: the owner of the website is also the owner of the account. One problem however, is that many people do not have their own website domain. This is both an opportunity for Bluesky (which now sells domain names to people), but also still a challenge: a significant group of people are simply not interested in paying money for what amounts to a better user name. Even if you have your own website domain, having to change DNS settings is still a technical barrier that is too high for a large group of people.
This is the part where Aviary.domains comes it, as it tries to find an audience for people who have a domain name, that they want to share with their community. It has created a system where an owner of a domain name can invite other people to use a version of that domain as their handle on Bluesky. So as the owner of laurenshof.online, I can log in with Aviary, and generate a subdomain for, lets say my cat. Aviary generates a link that my cat can click; they log in on Aviary with Bluesky’s OAuth, type in their name, press accept, and their handle is now changed, without them having to change settings.
What makes this different from projects like swifties.social, which also hand out subdomains for people to use as handles on Bluesky, is that it does not require the final step, changing settings in the app. It also gives the owner of the domain control over each subdomain, with the ability to subtract subdomains as well. This makes Aviary more useful for people who want to have more control over who identifies with the domain, and can show they are part of the community.

A quieter news week: self-hosted 3d printing app Manyfold joins the fediverse, and write.as now offers paid subscriptions for fediverse accounts with sub.club.
The News
Manyfold is a self-hosted open source web app for organising and managing your collection of 3d files, and in particularly 3d printing. With their latest update, Manyfold has now joined the fediverse by adding ActivityPub support. With the new integration, you can now follow a Manyfold creator from your fediverse account of choice, and get notified when the Manyfold account uploads a new 3d file. New Manyfold uploads appear as short posts with a link in the rest of the fediverse. To demonstrate, here is the Manyfold account from the creator Floppy as visible from Mastodon, and here is the profile on their Manyfold instance itself. The Manyfold server also has a button to follow the account on the fediverse. Manyfold implementing ActivityPub support is an illustration of how ActivityPub can be viewed as a form of ‘Social RSS’: it allows you to follow any Actor for updates, and adds social features (sharing/liking to it).
Sub.club is a service that lets people create paid subscription feeds on the fediverse. The service recently launched with the ability to monetise Mastodon feeds, and has now expanded to also include long-form writing, by collaborating with write.as. Write.as is the flagship instance of fediverse blogging software WriteFreely. With this update, blogs on write.as can now set on a a per-blog basis if a blog is a premium blog, and where the cut-off is. People who follow the blog from a fediverse account will see an option to subscribe and view the full post; this post by the sub.club account shows how a premium blog will look like from various perspectives. Adding sub.club to a write.as blog is as simple as following this three-minute PeerTube video.
La lista degli utenti suggeriti ora comprende le persone più attive e popolari dentro #MastodonUno oltre alle persone suggerite manualmente da M1.
Questo va a migliorare l'esperienza di scoperta e aumenta la forza delle community locali/italiane i cui utenti ora possono essere "scoperti" molto più facilmente rispetto alle enormi istanze "multilingua" 👍
Mastodon.Uno è la prima comunità generalista italiana.
Con oltre 73.000 iscritti è il più grande nodo Mastodon italiano.
Anima ambientalista a supporto della privacy e del mondo Open Source.
si ma la lista dei suggeriti era fatta male e inoltre non si capiva perchè l'account fosse suggerito, ora la lista dei suggeriti è di qualità ed è spiegato chiaramente perchè l'account è rilevante.
per fortuna nessuno traccia le preferenze (stelline o reblog) ma sono suggeriti solo gli utenti più seguiti dagli amici. Il che è un grande modo per espandere la propria bolla. È una funzione chiave di scoperta già presente su bluesky, threads, X, solo che Mastodon lo fa in modo più trasparente 😉
Raccoons of the Lemmyverse, we're back! A new beta version of the app has been released, as promised in the last AMA (it was the next internal milestone).
Let us know what you think about it, you'll notice that there have been several layout improvements since the last version, e.g. bottom sheets have a new style, clickable areas now show the ripple effect, etc.
Hope you all enjoy it and, as always, L.F.E.T. 🦝🦝🦝

The development cycle for the 2024.09 release enters the last stage before the stable release – today we have branched off the 2024.09 release candid branch. 2024.09-rc contains all the features of the stable release and is meant to test the new features, find some last rough edges and smooth out the path to the final stable release at the end of October. 2024.09 will be mostly a maintenance release fixing issues in various parts of Friendica. If you want to help out in testing, please checkout the new 2024.09-rc branch and report problems that you encounter.
The most notable changes in this release are:
we now support HLS and further improved the compatibility with Bluesky,
we dropped the support of OStatus (the predecessor of ActivityPub) after evaluating the amount of active servers/contacts that are still only using this protocol,
Friendica is now REUSE compliant and supports FEP-67ff
What is Friendica
Friendica is a decentralized communications platform, you can use to host your own social media server that integrates with independent social networking platforms (like the Fediverse or Diaspora*) but also some commercial ones like Tumbler and BlueSky.
How to use the 2024.09 RC Version of Friendica
If you want to help in the release process, you can checkout the 2024.09-rc branch from the git repositories. git fetch git checkout 2024.09-rc git pull bin/composer.phar install --no-dev Note that you only need to pull the composer dependencies in the core repository.
Should the upgrade process of the database get stuck
If you encounter this, please initiate the DB update manually from the command line by running the script ./bin/console dbstructure update from the base of your Friendica installation. If the output contains any error message, please let us know using the channels mentioned above. What to do with Quirks
The 2024.09-rc phase is meant to identify and preferable resolve quirks and bugs that should not be in the 2024.09 release, but have slipped through so far. So if you switch your node to the 2024.09-rc version of Friendica, please let us know about rough edges you find, either at the issue tracker (github account required), in the support group or in the developers group.

Molto interessante, specialmente per una istanza come Poliversity focalizzata sul giornalismo, il mondo dell'educazione e la ricerca scientifica! 👍 Ho una curiosità tecnica, è possibile tornare alla versione Mastodon ufficiale se un domani doveste cambiare idea?
@prealpinux tornare indietro non dovrebbe essere affatto difficile, ma ovviamente questo significherebbe che tutti i vecchi messaggi scritti con formattazione speciale verrebbero ricompilati e Resi una ammasso illeggibile di codice sorgente Mark down o html. Non so invece come si metterebbero le cose per i messaggi visibili solo all'interno dell'istanza, ma credo che anche in quel caso verrebbe verso più o meno tutto
@Trames tornare indietro non è impossibile. Il problema è che tornare indietro sarebbe semplicemente inaccettabile. Quando provi qualcosa in più, è difficile tornare indietro

mantenerli aggiornati e funzionanti è un'impresa enorme e serve fare i conti con i costi e il tempo a disposizione che non sono illimitati come nelle big tech.
Inoltre servizi come tuta o proton offrono ottime email gratuite. Matrix e Mozilla offrono ottimi server Matrix. Tutti questi servizi già garantiscono un'ottima sicurezza e privacy 👍
Complimenti è un gran lavoro impegnativo. Il vero problema nell’informatica di oggi è che manca il modo di garantire sia la riservatezza che la persistenza dei propri dati mantenendone l’accessibilità a cui ormai siamo abituati. Se carico sul password manager di Google mi devo fidare ciecamente di Google. Se carico sul vault Devol mi devo fidare ciecamente di Devol e del provider scelto dai Devol. Non c’è modo di verificare se un’installazione è come ‘mamma’ la ha fatta nei SaaS.
Ecco come un problema che abbiamo riscontrato sul nostro server Poliverso.org ci ha fatto accorgere dell’invasione dei crawler che Meta sta sguinzagliando per il Web con l’obittivo di addestrare la sua intelligenza artificiale. E i media italiani, muti!

Caspita. E pensare che Meta rompe tanto le palle su 'ste cose... che scraping dai loro siti non si deve fare per ToS, che se lo fai ti ratelimitano pesantemente, a tal punto che succede che ti bloccano anche se vedi troppa roba in giro da un normale browser senza un account loggato... però poi loro sono i primi.
Dubito alla fine che google, cloudflare e compagnia cantante si pieghino di fronte alle astruse volontà italiane. Nel primo scontro cloudflare ha già detto NO alle richiesta italiane, vediamo come proseguirà la storia.

Con la versione 4.3, Mastodon vuole piacere un po' di più anche agli utenti meno smanettoni. Un nuovo sistema aiuta gli utenti appena arrivati a trovare contenuti interessanti.
Mastodon has officially launched a new version, a new Reddit-like with ClubsAll has launched, and IFTAS has started rolling out their content classifier system.
Mastodon has officially launched a new version, a new Reddit-like with ClubsAll has launched, and IFTAS has started rolling out their content classifier system.
Mastodon launches version 4.3
Mastodon has released version 4.3, and the update comes with a better notification system, design improvements, displaying follow recommendations in the following feed for new accounts, and the ability to highlight the fediverse profile of the authors of shared articles.
There are two updates to the notification system: notifications are now grouped, and the ability to filter notifications. Grouped notifications means that you’ll see a summary of the number of people who liked and boosted your post, instead of getting each notification individually. This is especially helpful for posts that go viral, as your notifications become unusable without grouping. Third party clients also support grouping notifications of new followers, which Mastodon does not do. With notification filters, you can limit specific types of notifications, for example from people who are not following you, from new accounts, or to filter out unsolicited private mentions.
With the new carousel that displays follow suggestions for new accounts, Mastodon leaned on transparency. For each suggestion it is also displayed why an account is suggested. It seems there are four different reasons for an account to be suggested: ‘Popular on your server’, ‘Popular among people you follow’, ‘Similar to profiles you recently followed’ and ‘Handpicked by your server admins’.
For future plans Mastodon mentions three parts: working on adding quote posts, the ability for server admins to subscribe to managed deny-lists and improving how long-form text is displayed in Mastodon. Mastodon also features a request for donations at the end, noting that they are supported by donations and operate on less than 500k per year. It showcases the difficult spot that Mastodon is in: as the post highlights, their competitors have access to significant capital, which allows them to ship features significantly faster. While it is remarkable what Mastodon has accomplished with their budget, the small team also means that it has taken a year to ship this update 4.3, while the competition can move significantly faster. Not taking venture capital, not selling ads, and not selling data are great things to do, but the update cadence of Mastodon versus that of Bluesky or Threads shows that not doing so puts a significant limit on what the organisation can accomplish during this period of protocol wars.
ClubsAll has launched
ClubsAll is a new fediverse project, a Reddit-alternative similar to Lemmy, PieFed and Mbin. ClubsAll main goal is to provide a clean and easily-accessible UI, and explicitly positions itself as a Reddit alternative. The other focus is on live comments and live chat, where new comments that are made on a post flow in directly visible. The comment section includes both the traditional threaded view as well as a chatbox to invite more chat-like realtime reactions. Other features are easy cross-posting of new posts to up to three communities, and having multiple profiles under a simple login.
With their simplified communities, ClubsAll takes in posts from multiple communities from Lemmy, PieFed and Mbin, and brands them under a single club. This does solve a practical problem, namely that communities can get split over multiple servers, creating duplicates without a clear distinction between the different communities. It is unclear what the practical difference is between the fediverse community on lemmy.ml and the fediverse community on lemmy.world. PieFed solves this problem by having both communities (similar to Lemmy), as well as ‘topics’, which aggregates different communities into a single topic. PieFed makes it explicit that it aggregates posts from multiple communities. ClubsAll however, mostly hides this information, making it less clear that posts come from different platforms. I’m curious to see what the response to this by the community will be, as there are no clear norms so far on what is an acceptable use of federation, and what isn’t. When you take in posts from a different platform, what form of attribution is necessary? ClubsAll clearly attributes the original author, but should the original community also be accredited? The answer is unclear to me, and I’m watching to see how this evolves.
The News
IFTAS has been working on a Content Classification System, and the first classifier is now active. A few select server are working together with IFTAS, where all the media of these servers now get scanned for CSAM. In case of a hit, IFTAS handles the mandatory requirement and record-keeping, and issues a takedown. CSAM moderation is a difficult task for server admins to keep track of, both of the toll it takes on the humans, as well for the complex legal requirements that come with it.
NLnet has been a major sponsor of fediverse projects over the years. They announced the results their latest funding round this week in which they sponsor a large variety of open source project. The fediverse project that got funded is Loops, a TikTok-like short video platform by Pixelfed developer Daniel Supernault. Loops was scheduled for a public beta launch on Wednesday the 9th, but this has been delayed for 11 days. Supernault attributes the delay to the rumour that Threads is working on a Communities feature that is also supposedly called Loops, as well as to further polish the app and platform.
The SocialCG, the W3C Community Group for ActivityPub has agreed on starting work to form a charter to transition towards a Working Group. The details require some knowledge of W3C processes (that I don’t fully grok either), but the very short summary is that a Working Group has more impact on making changes to the ActivityPub protocol.
FediMod FIRES is both a protocol for distributing moderation advisories and recommendations and a reference server implementation. Emelia Smith, who is behind the project, has updated the website with more information as well as a general timeline for when work on the project happens.
ActivityPods is a project that combines the Solid protocol with ActivityPub, and they have released their 2.0 version. ActivityPods allows users to create a single account for multiple different apps; with ActivityPub you need a separate accounts for Pixelfed and Mastodon, for example. ActivityPods gives you one place to store your data, your Pod, based on the Solid protocol, and the Inbox and Outbox system of ActivityPub. This update of ActivityPods gives the ability to set granular permission levels for the access to data than an app has that is build on top of ActivityPods.

Grouped notifications, notification filtering, better onboarding and a refreshed look await in this new release of our decentralized open-source social media software.
Thank you! As for "Helping writers and journalists", it was not clear to me if it is still a manual process. I'm a writer, and you like to have this set on my account.
@vladcampos No, it's no longer manual! Or rather, now it's manual on your side. Go to the Verification tab on your profile settings and add the domains you'd like to appear on under Author Attribution.
@Gargron Good morning. I set everything up, and posted some articles after that, and it's not working here. Is there anything else that I have to set up?
@vladcampos you add the fediverse:creator tag to your website, and then use the verification options in Mastodon 4.3 profile settings page to specify which domain this should work on. blog.joinmastodon.org/2024/07/…

@Gargron Sorry to say notifications are broken on the android app. The notification tab in the app won't update or show complete info.
Happened a month or two ago on my phone, then it seemed to be fixed. Now happening again, and also on my tablet. I saw a few other people mention this too.
Reinstalling the app via playstore doesn't help.
Also, links to YouTube no longer work. Clicking on the link gets a 'no app installed to handle that' warning.
Mastodon 2.7.2 (121)
Am I on the wrong version?
Edit: I have all the latest Android and OneUI updates. Galaxy S23 Ultra, Galaxy Tab S7. Cl3ared the Mastodon cache. Rebooted. Reinstalled the app. Rebooted. Didn't help.
Mastodon keeps improving. It is a quiet way. Mastodon respects privacy. Also, it does not compromise with privacy and security. Mastodon swiftly removes false news or untrue information if someone finds fake news or unfounded information..
UI got ugly imo 😕 Please add previous dark theme as an option to select. Also, I'd really appreciate having good light theme too (less bright, with colored elements) 🙏
I have some tiny suggestion on the notification page.
can we reduce the space taken up by each notifications? it's showing way less notifications in a page than before (I can only see two and a half per screen on my laptop).
for example, can we put the "reply" text and arrow on the same line with user ID and icons? I don't see the reason for these to taken up three lines.
Steps to reproduce the problem 1.Customize my profile by uploading a GIF file as my profile avatar through the web version of Mastodon 2.Not seeing the result I expected on the web, I tried to uplo...
The best update is useless if successful things from the old version are broken. The display of the notifications with the avatar on the left and the text column minimised is horrible. Likewise, shortening the text without considering blank lines or simply reducing the text size. Or these mini icons that are almost impossible to hit. You've really messed up.
Steps to reproduce the problem Go to https://pagespeed.web.dev Type the URL of a timeline of a public instance of Mastodon, e.g. https://mastodon.social/explore Analyze the web performance. Expecte...

Più l'accessibilità, ho già visto nelle feature che si può usare markdown anche se hanno una home page dove più che parlare delle loro feature dicono quanto siamo fighi e bravi e mi veniva da mandarli subito in mona.
comunque per eventali domande o richieste sono su @buttondown è una sola persona che manda avanti il progetto, in effetti la home è un grande spot al servizio le feature sono qui:
Ha la pubblicazione automatica su mastodon e hanno in programma di federarsi con il fediverso, quindi la newsletter potrà essere seguita, stellinata, ripubblicata nel proprio account.
Event Organizers’ Needs for Publishing to the Fediverse via WordPress
As part of the development of our WordPress Event Bridge plugin, which improves the integration between the WordPress ActivityPub plugin and several popular event plugins, we have started the first round of evaluation with a number of event organizers. This first phase has mainly involved face-to-face meetings with smaller organizers, while not installing anything on their websites yet.
So far, we have gathered insights from 11 small to medium-sized event organizers: their concerns, content management preferences and expectations of our work. Efforts to engage larger organizations have been somewhat unsuccessful – some have not responded and others prefer to see the plugin live before committing to trying it and being available for feedback.
0. About the Organizers
5 already have a Mastodon/Mobilizon account, where 2 are quite active.
6 have never heard about the Fediverse (some more recognized the name Mastodon)
Most of them (8-9) usually have more than one event a week, except holiday times.
10 organizers are based in Austria, one in Poland.
Main categories:
Music/Concerts (2-4)
Community (4-5)
Workshops (4-5)
Politics/Activism (3-4)
Art (2-4)
1. Common Concerns and Fears
Website Breakage & Complexity: Concerns about the risk of adding another plugin that might break their site or cause complications are shared by several organizers (3). Worries about configuration complexity and the need for ongoing maintenance are also mentioned (3-4).
Performance and Compatibility: Concerns about performance impacts or compatibility with their existing systems and theme (3).
Autonomy and Control: Some smaller associations (2) worry about the responsibility that comes with autonomy, particularly regarding data loss or ensuring plugin updates. They also fear being stuck with a plugin that might not suit their future needs (2).
Future Costs: Potential financial costs are a concern for some organizers who worry about future expenses related to plugin upgrades or development (1-2).
2. Content Types
Events and Posts: Managing events is central for most organizers (6-7), with posts and other content only being relevant for some.
Different Needs for Different Roles: Several organizers rely on category-based content organization with different users managing specific sections (2-3). Ensuring that certain roles have permission to create and manage events is important for these teams.
3. Event Management Needs
RSVP and Event Visibility: Interest in RSVP/attendee management varies across organizers. Some are keen on facilitating communication with event attendees (3), while others find RSVP irrelevant to their needs (5-6). Event visibility, especially when distinguishing between public and private events, is important to a couple of organizers (2).
Recurring Events: Few organizers are interested in managing recurring events, they think that managing them is complex anyway and therefore do not see it as a current requirement (3). Most don’t need recurring event features at all.
4. Synced Updates and Communication
Synced Event Data: Keeping event data synchronized and up-to-date is one of the most important points to most organizers. Only one thought that propagating updates automatically is not a important feature.
Multi-Actor Support: Many organizers find that a single actor is sufficient for their needs (7-8), they would only utilize the “Blog-Actor” from the ActivityPub plugin. However, medium-sized organizers who manage multiple groups or venues see the see a huge benefit of having ActivityPub profiles (actors) for certain categories or venues (3). Two have configured their site to only allow certain users to post within specific main site categories.
5. Technical and Configuration Details
Custom Plugins and Migration: Some organizers use custom-built plugins or setups for managing their events (3). They are open to exploring alternatives if they can streamline processes or improve their current systems. Others, using incompatible plug-ins, are already not entirely satisfied with their current setup and are willing to migrate to more suitable solutions (2).
API and Compatibility: A couple of organizers are cautious about adding the ActivityPub API to their website, due to the increased attack surface (3). The WordPress ActivityPub plugin being developed by Automattic, the company that drives WordPress, helps to ease their concerns. Most could not give ad-hoc information about their current caching strategy (via plugins or the webserver).
Setup and Overview: Having a simple setup process with little configuration duties in conjunction with a status page was stated to be of importance for almost all.
6. Need for Event Plugin Recommendations
Several event organizers (4) are not satisfied with their current event publishing plugin and are looking for recommendations for event plugins that are community-driven, reliable and easy to use.
@Event Federation out of curiosity, Where can I find some WordPress posts formatted as a federated event? Could you give me some links? Have you already tried to verify the compatibility with Friendica events (which are already fully compatible with Mobilizon and Gancio events)?
mach mit uns sport und bekomme dadurch endlich einen body!!! ohne body rumzulaufen ist uns schon seit längeren zu blöd geworden. unsere schwebenden köpfe sind es leid durch die gegend zu fliegen.
@Event Federation Uhm... unfortunately the link of those events is not recognized by Friendica. On the contrary, I saw that Mastodon recognizes the post as ActivityPub content. I should understand with the Friendica developers if the "Events" plugin only communicates with Mastodon or if it is Friendica that for some reason cannot interpret it correctly. Anyway, thank you for the answer!
With our initial mockups complete, we were eager to start coding in LiveView Native (LVN). There are two primary ways to debug our iOS app: using Xcode or LVN Go.
Threads degrades their fediverse integration, a separate ActivityPub-based Island Network launches, and more news about Ghost and ActivityPub.
Threads delays posts for 15 minutes before federating
Threads’ latest update has degraded the value of their fediverse integration. Posts made on Threads will now always be delayed by 15 minutes before they are delivered to the rest of the fediverse, if fediverse sharing is turned on. The 15 minute delay is added for the purpose of post editing; posts on Threads can now be edited for 15 minutes after they are created. This used to be 5 minutes, both as a window for editing posts as well as the delay to be send out to the rest of the fediverse.
A 15 minute delay is a long time in microblogging, and significantly impacts things like breaking news, and live-posting sports events. It also meaningfully impacts the ability to have a back-and-forth conversation with people in a comment section. The delay itself is already an issue, but things get even more problematic when taken into consideration that during live events, Threads posts with a 15 minute delay are now mixed with fediverse posts without a delay and presented as happening during the same time. This was already noticeable during yesterday’s U.S. VP debate, an event where people use microblogging for the real-time reaction. But part of the real-time reactions was actually 15 minutes delayed, while another part was not, which creates even more confusing experience. A Threads engineer says that they will want to solve this problem ‘eventually’, but that it will probably come after Threads has implemented full bi-directional interoperability.
This news is not a great start for the Social Web Foundation either, which launched last week with criticism from the wider fediverse developer community for having Meta as one of their supporting members. There is a distrust of Meta’s intention within the fediverse, and them degrading their fediverse integration is likely not helping.
Website League
The Website League is a new social networking project that has arisen out of the demise of Cohost. Cohost was a social media site for the last 2 years, that has shut down, and on October 1st the website entered read-only mode. Cohost had a dedicated user base who appreciated the community that they’ve build on the site. Website League is a new project by users of Cohost (the Cohost staff is not involved) to build a successor network in Cohost’s place.
What makes Website League stand out is that it is a federated Island Network, described by Website League themselves as ‘a bunch of smallish websites that talk to each other’. This federated social network is using ActivityPub, but deliberately does not connect to the rest of the fediverse. Instead, it is an allowlist-based form of federation, where only websites/servers who agree to the Website League’s central set of rules can join.
The Website League has a big focus community organisation and governance. Even though the project is very young, and launched under time pressure of the deadline of Cohost closing, there are already multiple systems in place with an active Loomio for Stewardship, a wiki and more. The Website League provides a different vision of what a federated social network build on top of ActivityPub can look like, and I’m very curious to see where the project will go.
Ghost and Fedify
Ghost published their latest update on their work on adding ActivityPub, with more information about their upcoming beta. Ghost is slowly starting their beta process soon, making it clear that this is indeed a testing program, and data loss should be expected for people who are participating. They also said more about the performance and scaling of Ghost and ActivityPub. Sending out a newsletter over ActivityPub to 5000 subscribers turned out to need 10 servers, which indicates how resource-intensive and expensive ActivityPub can be. As a result, ActivityPub followers will count towards Ghost Pro billing, as Ghost Pro charges based on the number of members an account has.
Fedify, an open-source framework that simplifies building federated server apps, is now officially in version 1.0. Ghost’s ActivityPub integration is build on top of Fedify, and Ghost is sponsoring the Fedify developer as well.
The Mastodon server strangeobjects.space will shut down, and in the announcement post the admins explain the emotional cost and impact that comes with being a server admin.

But first, TPRC 2024
Last week I participated in the 2024 edition of the Telecommunications Policy Research Conference in Washington DC. TPRC is the Research Conference on Communications, Information and Internet Policy.
grazie per il tuo riscontro. Inoltre i tuoi complimenti a @dieguitux8623 che è lo sviluppatore italiano che in un paio di mesi è riuscito a fare un mezzo miracolo nel creare una app per Friendica che sia compatibile anche per tutto il popolo di Mastodon!
Presente! E grazie per aiutarmi a fare conoscere il progetto, che nasce come app per Friendica ma che su consiglio di @informapirata ⁂ :privacypride: abbiamo voluto tenere il più possibile compatibile con Mastodon, per cui le funzioni specifiche di Friendica sono un sottile layer aggiuntivo (ci sono più voci di menù/opzioni) ma senza intaccare le core feature.
Sviluppare un client per il fediverso è un ottimo esercizio 😉. Se hai segnalazioni, suggerimenti, dubbi o quant'altro citami pure e cercherò di esserci.
@Suoko ottima domanda... lo stiamo gestendo insieme a N7-X ma tra il fuso orario e il fatto che entrambi abbiamo altri progetti le cose vanno a rilento.
Io non mi sento di fare un rilascio allo stato attuale perché ci sono delle lavorazioni non concluse (una per tutte il refactoring del rendering del markdown che aveva iniziato lui). Se vedo che le cose restano bloccate ci do due colpi di mazza, es. aveva iniziato a rivedere le bottom sheet ma non penso abbia finito, e ci penso io...
@dieguitux8623 @Suoko non sarebbe meglio fare una sola app che permetta di accedere sia a Mastodon che a Lemmy? Sarebbe il massimo per gli utenti ma anche gli sviluppatori dovrebbero fare gestire una sola app invece di due
@kathsone non so quali app ti sia capitato di sviluppare, ma quello che suggerisci tu è molto complesso da fare quando hai a che fare con software che espongono le proprie API in modo così diverso.
Tu hai mai provato a guardare la documentazione messa a disposizione degli sviluppatori di app dagli sviluppatori di sistemi come Mastodon, Friendica o Lemmy?
Ecco, prova a cercarla tu e, dopo che l'hai cercata, prova a capirla, tenendo conto del tempo che hai utilizzato per trovarla e capirla. Poi moltiplica tutto per 50 o 100 e hai un'idea del tempo necessario per sviluppare un'app su quei sistemi.
Per svilupparne una che gestisca tutti e tre quei sistemi, moltiplica per un fattore 3
@kathsone non complicato, ma lungo, faticoso e dispendioso. Uno sforzo che già è difficilmente giustificabile per lo sviluppo di un'app specifica per il Fediverso, Ma assolutamente ingiustificabile per una app "ad ampio spettro" da utilizzare su sistemi veramente molto diversi come lo è Lemmy rispetto agli altri social del fediverso
@bradipo sì, infatti si può utilizzare anche solo con mastodon, ma in compenso offre la possibilità di visualizzare i gruppi ActivityPub (gruppi Friendica, comunità Lemmy, etc) meglio di come potrebbe fare qualsiasi app per Mastodon
for interop testing it might be a good idea to just create a test instance, that way you can whack debug or trace logging on and get in there to tail logs. If you run a build that's been built with the debug tag you can also do interesting stuff via the admin panel like make signed HTTP calls to remote resources and see the returned json.
@dumpsterqueer yeah may do that if I find any issues that need further debugging (though ideally that'd be facilitated through one of the fedi testing projects * since we're testing with dozen+ different apps...) but just want to quickly test some simple user flows manually first
Some possible automated test suites: #822 and https://verify.funfedi.dev/ (integration in progress) https://socialweb.coop/activitypub-testing/announcement/ (fixed outbox must use OrderedCollection...
got ya. If any problems with interop show up in your testing feel free to open issues on the gts repo. You might also be interested in our federation docs, specifically the bits about http signatures, actors and actor properties, and posts and post properties. Happy testing!

Purtroppo la release di ieri sera aveva qualche problema (soprattutto il primo) sfuggito al mio potentissimo controllo qualità procionide, per cui ho preferito rilasciare il prima possibile una correzione.
Oggi possiamo "considerare definitivamente fallito l’esperimento di connettere persone e idee attraverso i social network, abbandonarli e lasciare che gli algoritmi finiscano di consumare l’attenzione e la dopamina degli utenti ancora attivi. Oppure, possiamo immaginare social network che non solo funzionino in modo diverso, ma che siano anche costruiti e governati con modalità e fini differenti."
Il post di @ivan su @Bonfire uno dei software più innovativi, ambiziosi e promettenti del #Fediverso
Bonfire is being featured in Che-Fare, an Italian magazine focused on social innovation. We wrote about our vision of building social networks as digital commons! Here the article link (in Italian): che-fare.com/almanacco/cultura…
Mentre la contaminazione cambia progetti di creazione di mondi, possono emergere mondi reciproci e nuove direzioni. Tutti hanno alle spalle una storia di contaminazione. La purezza non è un’opzione disponibile.
Thank you so much, @bernini! Finally, a well written explaination of the #Fediverse and what I stand for that my mum would understand. I am sharing it with her immediately!
Mastodon ha una visualizzazione dei messaggi in ordine cronologico.
Un problema nei social del fediverso è che più messaggi si pubblicano, più spazio si occupa nei feed a discapito degli altri utenti.
Di regola gli utenti dovrebbero occupare la stessa quantità di spazio, lasciando a tutti la stessa possibilità di essere visualizzati evitando di pubblicare troppi messaggi consecutivi.
Per i messaggi concatenati è buona prassi mettere il primo come "pubblico" e i susseguenti come "non elencati"
in un'epoca in cui tutto sembra essere portato alla sua massima realizzazione, il pensiero si è perso. siamo tornati al puro istinto. e quindi chi sostiene che l'uomo è una specie animale un po' speciale e diversa da tutto il resto esattamente a quale caratteristica si riferisce? perché l'uso di strumenti tecnologicamente evoluti non basta a giustificare presenza di pensiero coerente. qualunque animale può essere addestrato a usare una tecnologia, che la capisca o pensi sia magia, o non si ponga neppure il problema della sua struttura costruttiva. non siamo molto diversi da quei primitivi ominidi che vedevano un'eclissi e pensavano fossero gli dei, per pura e sola paura. nello studio dell'etologia animale, anzi, man mano che si svelano sempre più veli, saltano fuori sempre nuove funzioni cognitive, che riducono ulteriormente il margine di differenza, qualitativo e non quantitativo, tra uomo e resto degli animali. in sostanza la nostra idea di uomo dotato di anima e resto del creato no pare sempre più una forzatura dettata esclusivamente da ignoranza. ci si può anche porre la domanda filosofica, se sia in realtà in corso, un processo, ossia una sorta di "travaso funzionale", tra uomo e animali che impoverisce il primo, e arricchisce i secondi. un po' come se la consapevolezza fosse una risorsa limitata.
🚀 This is the first post in a series where we will share insights, challenges, and progress on our journey of building the native Bonfire apps using LiveView Native. Whether you are an #Elixir enthusiast or just curious about app development, we hope you will join us on this adventure! Check it out here bonfirenetworks.org/posts/dev_…
Welcome to the first post of our development diary for the Bonfire native app. In this series, we'll journey together through the entire process of designing and publishing Bonfire on the Apple App Store using LiveView Native.
The recent Automattic/WP Engine issue highlights the urgent need for open-source ecosystems to adopt and experiment with transparent and inclusive governance models.
We need governance frameworks that ensure accountability, collaboration, and true community ownership.
1/ More Governanc - by who? 2/Free for them or us ? 3/ Trusting USA history and it's companies? (adverts / mining) 4/ People's mindset & links need training / educating 5/ Putting more signs on door THIS XYZ IS NOT PERMITTED / NO CONSENT
Sensitive content
Just as a check I wrote about my considerations or questions...
"More Governance" ? So I hope it's not so open to the extent Government can use it as "More Governance" like a kind of Google using "more Open Source" and all the mainstream using Linux servers badly for ad-farms basically on all websites - because still those type don't even contribute back themselves (even to code or much)
and people get sucked into making THOSE components better for them to come collect like gems to make a bigger monster... And viola a new bigger monster every year while we are maybe happy with some tools claiming to be anti.
So Point #1 They are not keeping the spirit. We can expect it. How does that work when it's a free for all for even them...
It really is like giving good work to bad people unless there is a clause or 100 there to keep the spirit.
I might have a point there because I like openness but staying after work and giving it to bad people is the same even though we love coding... and making things faster... but not good until people use it wisely.
I'd really rather we think longer and have less. Openness without sign or conditions on door and without our blood stain to keep respect for humanity, is dangerous. Somewhat giving the game to them or anyone that wants to sell / mine data.
Point #2: Users being weakest link so need more training / helping instead of giving more tools or scope - again dangerous, do we want a Mastodon and add components around like Twitter?
USERS ARE THE WEAKEST LINKS - SO UPGRADE THE PEOPLE's BEHAVIOUR AND MINDSET IS NEED - NO NEED FOR MUCH MORE CODE OR UPGRADES...
Maybe open governance means some other good things but the mindset of people can be dangerously behind or the same as before as shitshow people (said in short but politely).
EXAMPLE BELOW
Google links 🔗 " title=""/> ( ) we have here like an ad-farm basically, every other fucking link and trackable which Admins are not even interested to suggest another curve in bsaying something even though they believe in Mastodon type things (why we came here soon to to be all mixed).
So a proxy filter links like @invidious (also open source) should be used if people believe in similar things to " title=""/> and could at least be announced often to watch youtube links without ads, tracking, bad code-!
It's along the same lines of why we came here and (IF we want to keep going further it's the users). ✝️
Even using google video without tracking - this a major WIN (or just not a major LOSS) *CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK* *CLICK*
I calculate 99999 per day - we got to aim for better usage here rather than honeypot each other... like most people with a 'simple' uneducated click undo all the good work. That is down to us too if we see it as a pattern to invest in that (not just give people hammers and expect them to be responsible with posts like nails flying everywhere)
Mastodon and it's people have somewhat chosen to make it's home in America at least with it's finances and registering there - that is a BIG mistake - I understand EU was slow or even not recognizing Mastodon to allow donations (or whatever the story was) but if you become more Americanised you are endangering things FULL STOP. How strong America governs things is like advanced well-trained system of breading aggressors and is under-estimated as systems or even currency which gives currency to people but takes back more... so moving your finances there Mastodon to that side of the pond where they are invading every single fucking thing elsewhere (HOME and ABROAD) is near stupid AS IT IS POLITICAL WHO YOU 'DEAL' WITH. If you understand who has who by the balls and previous shutdowns of finances... You can see it at some point... were the people even asked (sorry I don't know).
So let this writing be not just a warning but seriously train your baby users and Mastodon future compromises as it's the same fast-fast build and then BANG "HALT" STOP.
"Don't go to America" in a millions senses even if they are the best (you know all the bad stuff and the good isn't worth it).
Open Source 🔥 Open Protocol 🔥 Open Governance <== (by who?) META / BlueSky? 🔥
I too want for more users BUT really the feeling are like...
"We want to talk to Threads PEOPLE but not Threads as a US company / META etc@
NOBODY accumulating data / monopoly based / invader type companies and massive predators...
It's not like they will stop there and satisfied and happy... they want the whole lot! The whole country! I think people forget history or have closed eyes even today. Give give, take take take take...
No undertones of racism just pure compliments to American producing such shitshows and technically they perfected the shitshow as brutal monopolisation and ruling by keeping people on the payroll or holding their livelihood random - they already dun did it almost in every way they could.
So saying open isn't necessarily good BUT priority (safety) and less swimming with sharks / accepting inevitable adverts / mining / the usual.
CONSIDER ADVERTS 💲 AS THE "INCOMING!!"
AND
"THEY'RE MINING US AND MY MESSAGES HERE !"
Not enough to say from Admins or Developers "We it's not up to me but the users" when it's somewhat their users which they could at least advise else they become part of it (and that is politics in a nut shell including not doing when you see it happening).
ℹ️ I did this text with speed so you can skim the main points which there is about 4/5 there.
All said positively (even the "watch out for this" parts)
5/ Putting more signs on door THIS XYZ IS NOT PERMITTED / NO CONSENT My bio has some element of that copied from others...
Il 2 ottobre prossimo si apre una nuova serie di iniziative del DESU di UniMoRe, nell'ambito del programma di Dipartimento di eccellenza, per il coinvolgimento della cittadinanza nella cultura dell'educazione
Dopo anni di riforme neoliberiste l'università italiana si trova al centro di una tempesta perfetta, fatta di ulteriori tagli, della guerra materiale e di quella culturale
Questo #blog è realizzato con il software #writefreely, la più semplice piattaforma per scrivere contenuti permanenti sul web.
Caratteristiche
Si tratta di un software minimalista con cui creare un Blog, o anche un'intera comunità di più blog.
Tra le funzionalità, abbiamo l'autosaving, un editor lineare, senza distrazioni, con il supporto di #markup language. Quella che può sembrare una limitazione, invece è un vantaggio: ci si concentra sul contenuto, e non sull'apparenza.
Ci sono sia il supporto per il feed rss che la federazione con il #fediverso.
Federazione
I vostri post saranno federati con il fediverso, per cui, ad esempio, chiunque abbiamo un account su #mastodon potrà seguire il vostro blog. Se non sapete cos'è il #fediverso, potete approfondire qui: fediverso.it
Installazione e configurazione
Software leggerissimo, occupa pochissime risorse ed è un solo semplice eseguibile, con l'unico requisito di un database #mysql, che \e dove saranno salvati i contenuti.
Se volete cimentarvi nell'installazione e configurazione, seguita la guida ufficiale, davvero molto semplice, ma esaustiva:writefreely.org/start
Gestione Immagini
Dopo averlo provato, l'unica cose di cui sentivo la mancanza era una gestione delle #immagini, ma ho risolto in maniera molto semplice e utile, vi lascio all'articolo che avevo scritto a tal proposito (basterà cliccare sul tag #immagini).
##PersonalizzazioneE' possibile configurarlo per gestire più blog o uno soltanto (il sito sui cui vi trovato è in modalità mono).
Ciascun blog, può essere configurato i 3 modalità: 1. Pubblico: tutti leggono i vostri articoli. 2. Privato: accessibile solo agli utenti registrati 3. Protetto da password: unica per tutti per poter leggere
Riguardo al punto 1, starà poi a voi decidere se renderlo indicizzabile dai motori di ricerca oppure no, semplicemente configurando il file #robots.txt
Esistono 3 modalità di visualizzazione dei post: 1. Blog: vengono mostrate le data degli articoli che saranno visualizzati dal più recente. 2. Novel: nessuna data degli articoli, ordinamento dal primo post in poi 3. Notebook: nessuna data degli articoli, ordinamento dal post più recente.
Infine è disponibile un campo per la firma da personalizzare, questo “pezzetto” di testo, o codice, sarà presente in calce a tutti gli articoli.
Css
Le uniche personalizzazioni grafiche realizzabili sono tramite il #css, è possibile trovare in rete dei temi giù pronti da cui partire, tramite i quali personalizzare colori, stili, dimensioni e distanze della pagina, in pieno spirito minimalista.
Conclusioni
Personalmente trovo sia davvero piacevole aprire la schermata di nuovo articolo e trovare un schermo pulito, vuoto, in cui concentrarsi sulla scrittura e quindi sul contenuto, less is more!
Ho scelto questo software perché non avevo bisogno di fare chissà quale cose strabilianti, ma appunto la necessità era quella di scrivere qualcosa utile per gli altri, ma anche per me (scrivere mi rilassa).
Costa aspettate a provarlo? Per chi non si vuol sbattere (o non ha dove farlo) nell'installazione, consiglio questo sito dove potete aprire il vostro blog writefreely: noblogo.org

È un'istanza tematica, dedicata a giornalismo, informazione, istruzione, scuola. Perciò chi ci s'iscrive dev'essere almeno interessato a questi temi se non proprio coinvolto come "mestiere". Ciò non esclude che si possa andare "fuori tema" ogni tanto, ma sarebbe cosa buona non perdere di vista il focus.
Poliversity vede gli account di Threads federati (che come sai non sono europei, inoltre sai bene che non si tratta di vera federazione ma solo di visibilità), tant'è vero che ne seguo alcuni account interessanti.
Sì, ci si può migrare. Io ci arrivai migrando da Livello Segreto.
