As we integrate #OpenAlex data into the #Bonfire #OpenScience flavor, we're displaying familiar metrics: works count, citations, h-index, research topics, institutional affiliations... These might be exactly what you need, or perhaps just a starting point. What additional information would help you find collaborators or understand someone's work better? We're opening this design process to the open science community. Share what works, what doesn't, what's missing. @open_science 1/2
For those curious about what's technically possible, here's the OpenAlex API docs: docs.openalex.org/ We could explore research networks, collaboration patterns, open access rates, interdisciplinary connections, and more... The question is: what would make profiles genuinely useful for how you work? Let's build this together 🔬 @open_science
One question I am often asked is : how do I find people in a given institution that work on a given field ? It is technically possible to get this from OpenAlex. One idea could be : allow to automatically create circles from field and institutions. For instance : a circle for a given university, or a circle for a given field, or the intersect of both. Bonfire helping find people and communities would be great !
OpenAlex has added a new metadata matching strategy co-developed by ROR and Crossref to its affiliation matching processes: ROR is also investigating the prospect of incorporating this new matching strategy into the ROR API in 2025.
Great that you integrate #OpenAlex! I really appreciate your efforts.
However, I am very skeptical about displaying the h-index and i10 index (and probably also about the overall citation count). With #DORA and #CoARA, we want to get away from these indexes. (They are readily available - but that's their deceptive seduction).
To stay in the analogy: At a campfire gathering, I am looking for deep (and also funny and affiliative) conversations with fellow researchers. If there is a guy shouting out his impressive h-index as a greeting, I would immediately leave.
If we try to build a utopian community place, we should not recreate the dysfunctional incentive structures of default academia.
@nicebread This is exactly the kind of feedback we're looking for! we were thinking of hiding the quantitative metrics widget by default and letting users show it on demand if they want it... to be more aligned with coara.eu/agreement/the-commitm… (which also @fresseng pointed us to few days ago) Would this approach make sense to you? @openscience
@fresseng @openscience Not providing the metrics at all would be a value statement. But hiding it by default is definitely a step in the right direction!
Another idea, focused on the discussion content (and again depending on computational resources): Could you provide on-the-fly literature suggestions for current discussions? And in particular flag members of the community that have published to that topic?
Similar: Ping members of the community if a discussion touches an area of their expertise?
(Which all should be opt-in features, as not all members may want that).
This is a crucial question to discuss in the open and possibly create a statement from it somewhere for future reference... Should the open science network commit to the #DORA and #CoARA agreements and therefore not include researchers quantitative metrics at all ? Pinging among others: @jorgeluis @fresseng @brembs @JACoates @kfitz @pierre @markwilliams @openscience
I agree that it should definitely not be shown by default and prominently, that's for sure.
Whether this kind of information should be available in principle, for vanity searches or for people who go digging after them, one could discuss, I think.
In the German Reproducibility Network @GermanRepro, we developed an academic code of conduct: "Creating a friendly and intellectually stimulating space" (reproducibilitynetwork.de/coc/).
This explicitly says: "We discuss views and claims based on the evidence and the quality of arguments, not based on the status of the people making the claim, nor their personal characteristics or their academic rank."
This is the atmosphere I'd like to see at a campfire. Maybe more aspects of that CoC are inspiring for an academic Bonfire.
@GermanRepro What else could be extracted from #OpenAlex? I would find this helpful:
1. The most recent publication/preprint of a member (as a first author, or also as coauthor?) 2. The most cited publication 3. Affiliation history: Maybe we have a common university in our history?
If your computing resources and the framework allow dyadic information (i.e., how do I relate to every member in the community):
3. What is my coauthor network distance? (I.e., how many hops do you need). If <=3, show the link. 4. What is the publication of that member that is closest to my own works? (e.g., based on embedding dimensions of title and abstract)
That is information that would foster a substantive discourse.
Some relevant data that can be computed from the API and show on user profile: The most recent publication/preprint of a member (as a first author, or also as coauthor?) The most cited publication ...
Here's an updated mockup with widgets for: - Most recent publication/preprint - Most cited publication These are fairly easy to include... Currently showing only part of the available metadata to avoid overloading the widget, standard previews show more data (e.g., openscience.network/discussion…) We've already included the affiliation history (we call them present/past institutions, shown below the user profile avatar in the mockup...maybe wrong wording?) @open_science @GermanRepro
@nicebread @GermanRepro I'd argue against most cited as this isn't the best metric to promote. I'd suggest that most recent (preprint or open access) article and then one chosen by the individual. Not everyone would highlight their most cited work but what currently interests them most or what they're proudest of.
oh, just when they happened to reset my profile and now I have 5+ OpenAlex accounts again, and while one has most, it also have stuff of other people 🙁
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. It would be wonderful to be able to move an account and all its posts from a Mastodon instance. Describe the solution you'd like Follo...
Here is another feature that came to my mind that might be interesting to put in the roadmap.
As OSN aims to provide the place to write articles and peer-reviews, with DOIs for each, as well as to provide DOIs for online scientific communication that is worth it, there is a deeper connection to make to ORCID. Aside from reading from ORCID, Bonfire could write these contributions to the scholarly record directly to the authors' ORCID records, with no action from them apart from allowing once Bonfire to write to their profile. Moreover, this would be a certified piece of information, making Bonfire part of the trust network that enables trustworthy scientific conversation.
To my opinion, that would involve two things. The first one is to certify Bonfire, the software, as an ORCID integrated service provider. This is free of charge. All information is there : info.orcid.org/vendors-and-ser…. For example, PKP is certified.
The second one, is the actual writing to the authors' ORCID record. It requires being an ORCID member, and is thus not free of charge. However, I think this is not to be done by Bonfire itself but rather by the institution that installed a particular instance. For example, in my university, we already are ORCID members, for other reasons, and using another piece of software to write to ORCID would be free of charge.
Thus, the main task for the Bonfire would be to get certified.
The services listed here are ORCID-recommended Certified Service Providers (CSPs) that adhere to best practices recognized throughout the research ecosystem. If your service is not on this list, learn more […]
@liaizon Kinda sorta, but not really. 😀 @encyclia just consumes the public ORCID API, it doesn't try to channel anything back into ORCID records, nor indeed does it give people any facilities at all for original authorship. It's strictly an ORCID → ActivityPub one-way bridge.
I wrote a bit about the similarities and differences between Encyclia and OSN in the FAQ: encyclia.pub/faq#opensciencene… OSN's scope has expanded since then, but I think it's still all accurate! 🙂
La cosa che trovo ancora incredibile del Fediverso...

Over the next few days, people that have accounts on mastodon.social and mastodon.online may see a donation banner in our official mobile apps. Here's the background on this small message.
Is there any reason why you are allowed to use the necessary data for marketing things? Is there any consent on mastodon.online and/or mastodon.social which allow you to act like that?
"… if they are signed-in to an account on one of our instances, and only if their account has existed for four weeks or more… "
Es wird also ausgewertet, auf welcher Instanz die nutzende Person aktivi ist und wie lange die Anmeldung her ist. Also mind. 2 Datenwerte, die hier "getrackt" werden. Für das Funktionieren der App oder die Funktionsfähigkeit der Instanzen sind beide Informationen nicht notwendig.
(Da dies auch für andere Instanzen ausgeweitet werden soll, ist es also keine einmalige Einzelmaßnahme sondern möglicherweise auch periodisch nutzbar.)
Dies war der Grund die #Mastodon-App zu löschen, denn es gibt genügend andere Apps.
@rriemann Was dabei aus meiner Sicht **noch** schlechter ist:
Da man die Anzeige leicht wegblenden können soll und sie im Nachgang auch nicht wieder erscheinen soll, muss ich auch noch tracken, welche nutzende Person die Meldung angezeigt bekommen hat und diese weggeklickt hat. Es sind also schon 3 Datenpunkte, die man benötigt, um das Ganze technisch umsetzen zu können:
* Instanz, * Dauer seit Anmeldung auf der Instanz, * Banner bereits angezeigt.
@dnkrupinski @rriemann we do not collect any data with this feature. This is all done client-side in our mobile apps (which are open source). The app knows your instance and sign up date (for your currently signed in account) because these are already part of the account data. It makes an anonymous API request to know if there is a campaign in progress. If so, the app gets some text to display. The only data collected is for the donation, if the user chooses to initiate a payment.
Egal ob Mastodon App oder Web Client, es muss zumindest geprüft werden, ob die benutzende Person die Spenden-Anzeigen bereits angezeigt bekommen hat. Die Anzeige soll ja nur einmalig erfolgen. Das System muss also ein Kennzeichen setzen, ob eine Anzeige für den/die Nutzer:in bereits erfolgt ist und bereits "abgelehnt" wurde. Es ist also ein Datum **pro** Nutzer:in, und somit ein Nutzer:in-bezogenes Datum.
Darüber hinaus: Für die Verwendung einer Instanz und das Funktionieren der Mastodon App benötigt man aber weder Kenntnis der Instanz (nur der installierten Version) noch die Information zur Dauer seit der Anmeldung. Es werden also Informationen des Accounts abgefragt, die für das Funktionieren **nicht** notwendig sind. Man kann hieraus schließen, dass hier Daten von der App abgefragt werden, für welche die App im Vorfeld keine Einwilligung eingeholt hat.
Ich habe meine Entscheidung getroffen: die Mastodon App ist gelöscht, und ich werde sie sicherlich nicht wieder installieren. (Mal ganz davon abgesehen, dass diese App die Anforderungen an die Barrierefreiheit nicht erfüllt.)
I feel that all Mastodon Administrators should have an option to place a non-intrusive (rotating) banner on their instance.
As in this case, it can be used to make users aware that funding is welcome for stability.
But I can also imagine that it is a way to attract some income from other parties. If their users do not like it, then those users can move to another instance that does not do that.
I would think positively about parties that support my instance.
@stux they do, we know, and we appreciate everyone running Mastodon! We are trying this as a first step and have ideas for ways to do this more broadly for other instances in the future.
what about the new non-profit org in EU supposed to arrive in 2025 ? I understand there is some work to create it but lots people will prefer donate when this new non profit structure is created
@jimmysjolund thanks for asking about this. We don't track or have a way to check that, so the simple answer is yes. It should only be one quick tap to dismiss the message, but we know it is not ideal when you're already donating. We appreciate everyone that supports us, and thank you for your patience! 🫶
quick question, but for those on #patreon do they get to remove and not see these banners? Much rather stepup and support Mastodon rather than pay for #twitter or #bluesky I mean there is the @buyfromeu movement. Mastodon may not have the prettiest or easiest sign up (yet) but it will outlive twitter and maybe bluesky
@Goldmaster the banner will still show (and can be easily dismissed with just a tap) if you already support us via Patreon - thanks for doing that, by the way - we don't make a connection between your account and Patreon or track you, so there's no way to premptively hide it. We hope it's only a small inconvenience.
It would be better if this post is not visible for users who are not on mastodon.social/online. If I read your bio it looks this account is for Mastodon in general, not mastodon.social/online. So to avoid confusion I highly recommend to open a different account for mastodon.social/online users.
@joeneXtra there is an account @staff that is specific for mastodon.social and mastodon.online; and @MastodonEngineering that is about the software. This account @Mastodon covers the project as a whole, and although this blog post refers to this campaign being visible to people who use our servers, the funding discussion is about the whole organisation. Apologies for any confusion. We aim to communicate about our plans, organisation, fundraising, as well as the software, as clearly as we can.
@MastodonEngineering Thanks for the explaination. So please use next time the @staff account, because a funding campaign like this is not related to my and other servers.
It doesn't hurt to remind users from time to time that the server they're using has running costs that needs to be met. It's free advertising for other admins too and I expect they're grateful for it.
I'm not in either of those servers but was interested to see this post and subsequent discussions. If it's restricted in future I'll be disappointed.
I think this is a great idea, and i personally would prefer to give direct support than via patreon. Hope it will be successful and more people will consider supporting you.
Sorry Mastodon social. When you booted me and conspired with other instances on it to get me booted there, I would never give you a penny. Also, I advise others to avoid these badly run instances that maliciously boot their own members because of their own lack of understanding and investigation.

I joined Mastodon in part because it's anti-corporate, but I can't get over how much advertising I still see here. Yes, it's for struggling artists or small businesses or charities, but advertising is ispo facto wearying no matter how good the cause. Doubly so when it doesn't stop even after you've bought or donated.
I make a small monthly donation, but I understand that many don't and could use a nudge. I don't have an alternative suggestion. Just letting you know how I feel.
🌊 Exciting news! Crowdinblue - a mission-led initiative bridging water solutions with funding - has chosen #Bonfire to build their federated community space! Together, we're designing custom extensions to connect water projects with impact investors and crowdfunding opportunities. All in a federated environment that puts communities and projects first. Welcome to the Bonfire ecosystem, crowdinblue! 💚 Read more about the project: crowdinblue.org #CommonsEconomy #WaterJustice #Fediverse
CrowdInBlue connects water projects with the right funding sources, helping NGOs, innovators, and communities access the financial resources they need.
Are you a community, organization or project needing custom features while staying connected to the open web?
Our #Mosaic initiative makes this possible: build your specific tools (open knowledge management, coordination, governance, resource sharing, ...), or integrate your existing tools in your digital space while federating with the wider ecosystem.
We’re excited to present the Open Science Network initiative, a first step towards open and federated digital spaces designed to push the boundaries of open science and scholarly communication.

Taking a quick detour from our 1.0rc3 milestone work! 🛤️ This morning we added a small but meaningful feature: 🔗 Link previews now display the author's fediverse account when available. ➡️ Next up: Author attribution controls in Bonfire's verification settings, so writers can decide exactly how they're credited when their articles travel across the fediverse. ✍️ It will be available in next release to test it out!
After a mental health break, release v2.4.7 of Ktistec is out. The biggest improvement is the addition of a command line switch/option to run garbage collection on startup. Garbage collection, in this context, trims down your database by deleting old ActivityPub objects that are not connected to your user through:
Attribution: Objects attributed to you or actors you follow
Activities: Objects referenced by your activities or activities of actors you follow
Collections: Objects in your timeline, notifications, or outbox
Content: Objects with hashtags, mentions, or in threads you follow
It reduced the size of my database ~24%. Details on usage, warnings, etc. are in the README.
Other changes:
Fixed
Use single quotes for string literals in SQLite queries.
Fix WITH RECURSIVE queries.
Fix broken CI workflow.
Changed
Present local internal URLs as external URLs in posts.
Limit pagination size for unauthenticated users.
Better convey actor/object deleted/blocked status on index pages.
Improve presentation of inline code and code blocks.

What if you could keep using the tools built for your needs while opening them to your community or the broader fediverse on your terms? With Mosaic, we partner with you to build custom Bonfire extensions that connect your existing tools to the fediverse. 📣 Details: bonfire.cafe/post/01K06RMXVE6A…
Connect your existing tools to the fediverse with Mosaic
Your organisation's favorite apps, now with superpowers.
We all navigate a constellation of specialized tools daily. Organisations depend on CRMs, project management platforms, and financial systems. Communities coordinate through forums, chat and event platforms, and resource-sharing databases. Individuals track their lives across fitness apps, reading lists, streaming services, knowledge management tools and more.
Each app serves its purpose, but they each create isolated silos where valuable activities, insights, and connections remain trapped behind separate logins and walled gardens.
What if you could keep using the tools built for your needs while opening them to your community or the broader fediverse according to your specific rules and boundaries?
🧰 Bridge your tools to the open web
Through our Mosaic initiative, leveraging the Bonfire modular framework, we offer like-minded organizations and communities the opportunity to build custom extensions that connect their homegrown or third-party applications to the fediverse. These bridges:
Import data from your existing tools
Transform it into rich ActivityPub activities for federation
Enable meaningful, two-way interactions
Respect your privacy boundaries and governance needs
The result? Your isolated tools become part of a connected, collaborative ecosystem.
Real-world examples: your tools, federated
Project management meets community feedback
Imagine your team uses a kanban board to manage development sprints. With a custom Bonfire extension, we could connect the service's API and monitor specific triggers like completed tasks, cards tagged with #feedback, or comments added.
When triggered, the extension would create ActivityPub objects with rich metadata: task description, relevant links, and progress context. Your fediverse followers would receive these as native posts they can react to, boost, and comment on. Their feedback would flow back through the extension as comments on the original card.
You would control the boundaries granularly, e.g. public for open source projects, followers-only for beta features, restricted to your instance for internal work, or anything in between. The two-way sync would ensure your project management tool remains the single source of truth while your community becomes an active participant in the development process.
Community resources go network-wide
Your mutual aid network could maintain a resource spreadsheet or database tracking offers, needs, and availability. Our extension would poll for new entries or status changes (by connecting to an API, listening to webhooks, or even directly reading the database or spreadsheet itself), converting them into structured ActivityPub objects with standardised properties for location and resource type taxonomy tags, and custom properties for quantity and urgency.
When someone marks "10 wool blankets available" or "urgent: need baby formula," it would federate as a rich post that other instances can parse intelligently. Neighboring mutual aid groups would see these in dedicated feeds or maps, filtered by resource type or geographic proximity.
The extension could handle resource matching across networks, suggesting possible connections between needs and offers while respecting each network's autonomy.
Events that travel beyond platform borders
Your organisation's calendar contains everything from public conferences to internal meetings. The extension would connect via calendar APIs (CalDAV, Google Calendar API, etc.) and intelligently parse event metadata: detecting whether events are public, extracting registration links, and identifying capacity limits.
Public events would become rich ActivityPub Event objects that federated platforms can display natively—Mobilizon and Bonfire instances would show them in event listings, Mastodon users would see them as interactive posts. RSVPs would flow back through via ActivityPub federation, updating your attendee count in real-time.
The extension could handle timezone conversions, recurring events, and last-minute changes. When you update event details, it would send an update to ensure all federated copies stay synchronised.
The possibilities are endless
Imagine federating your collaborative playlists to spark music discovery across communities. Or sharing fitness milestones that inspire distributed workout challenges. Or creating transparent financial reporting that builds trust with your supporter network.
Ready to give your tools superpowers?
The examples above showcase just a glimpse of what's possible when we bridge isolated tools to the fediverse. While these specific integrations are just ideas, they represent the transformative potential of Bonfire, and we're ready to build them with you.
Mosaic is a unique service where the Bonfire team works with you to co-design and build custom extensions entirely shaped around your community's needs.
Mosaic is perfect for you if:
You're frustrated by data trapped in isolated platforms
Your community wants to participate more but faces too many barriers
You believe in transparency and collaborative approaches
You're ready to pioneer new models of digital cooperation
What we offer:
Custom extension development tailored to your specific tools and workflows
Full control over privacy boundaries and federation rules
Ongoing support as your needs evolve
The opportunity to be among the first to explore federated tool integration
Let's start a conversation.
Whether you want to federate your project management, open up your resource database, or imagine entirely new possibilities, we're here to build it with you. Your use case could become the next example inspiring others to break down their digital silos.
Grazie a @Ska de @Le Alternative abbiamo rinnovato la veste grafica di #fedinews che oggi può integrare non più soltanto i feed dell'istanza #Lemmyfeddit.it ma anche i contributi pubblicati su citiverse.it e potenzialmente di qualsiasi altra istanza del #Forumverso (Lemmy, Piefed, Mbin, NodeBB, etc)
Hello #BSDCafe friends! After some thorough testing, I've decided to introduce @nileane 's TangerineUI ( @TangerineUI ) as an optional interface for our #Mastodon instance. In my opinion, its lovely colors bring a cheerful and calm vibe to the interface, and I truly hope you'll enjoy it. Rest assured, all other current interfaces - the Mastodon Bird UI ( by @rolle - which is set as default theme for many languages) and the stock - remain unchanged. Enjoy!

Deciding to use an external library for convenience can take its toll. My latest blog post explains what happened some days ago and why I moved away from Ktorfit, halting all my other (more needed) tasks.
@rvyhvn yes, open an issue please it will be doable! I am a little behind with the developments but I am going to release a beta in the following weeks!
Il primo rilascio dello staff esteso di mastodon porta ad alcuni interessanti miglioramenti dell'interfaccia e delle funzionalità
Abbiamo rinnovato l'interfaccia web mobile per imitare le app native, con azioni importanti facilmente accessibili in una barra degli strumenti inferiore che libera più spazio per la tua cronologia. Abbiamo anche iniziato a sperimentare modi per rendere la navigazione più coerente su tutti i dispositivi e per rendere i contenuti pertinenti (come gli hashtag seguiti e i contenuti di tendenza) più facilmente individuabili.
We’re excited to announce that Mastodon 4.4 is now generally available as an upgrade for all Mastodon servers. The update brings improvements to profiles, navigation, list management, media controls, server moderation notes, and more.
Improved profile features, enhanced list management, refreshed navigation, and the initial part of our Quote Posts implementation. All of these and more, in our latest release.

Mastodon 4.4 also contains the first part of our Quote Post implementation - display of incoming Quote Posts. Full support (including creation) will be part of the next version: Mastodon 4.5, coming later this year. We’re already hard at work on the next set of updates for that release.
We hope you’ll enjoy the enhancements in Mastodon 4.4, and we’re grateful for your support and feedback. We’re a small team, and we depend on your donations to continue making Mastodon better with features and updates. Please contribute to support our mission if you can.
@collectifission Ivory's quotes are not proper quote posts, but more of a rich preview when a post contains "RE: <status url>” We are implementing quote posts with full control for the user (choose if you want to be quoted, retract a previous quote…) which requires proper server and client support (see blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/…) @Mastodon
Is it now possible to somehow create quote posts through the REST API, if I have some app or tool of my own using the API, or does it only work for now when the quote is coming from another (non-Mastodon) instance over ActivityPub?
@mackuba This is not yet possible. The only way to see quotes right now is with self-quotes from external ActivityPub servers that support part of our FEP.
Thank you!! Perhaps it has been addressed, but 4.4 doesn't seem to include a total opt-out for QRT. Are there explained reasons for this? Personally I love QRT, but I know people who doesn't, for various motives. Thanks!!
I want to sincerely thank you and the whole team for making my life better through Mastodon. You all do so much good in the world. After X and the state of social media, this is very much still needed. Thank you for providing me my happy place.
Would be nice to get any explanations of the different post-install or depreciation messages of some update steps. I ignored all of them and it went well. However - in some cases additional steps might be required as per the hints after completion of a specific update step. Regardless of this, many thanks for the great work to the Mastodon team.
it’s the same ugly animation bug when starring a post, and randomly jumping discover thread during scroll… two things I really wish to be fixed for a long time now
'... showing how many of the people you follow are following that person ...' This feature can be abused to detect someone's follow. [X] Drop it.
What happened to this? blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/07/cage-the-mastodon/ It's a very reasonable explanation to skip the quotes. Discussions don't become endless then.
Found this: blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/02/bringing-quote-posts-to-mastodon/
'You will be able to withdraw your post from the quoted context at any time.' Sounds confusing.
Did anyone else experience hash changes for typescript@patch version 5.8.2 from hash 5786d5 as shipped with mastodon release 4.4.0 to hash 8c6c40 (and similar for version 5.7.3) in the `yarn install immutable` step?
And why did the original post provoke 50x errors on several mastodon sites?

Of course, we couldn’t help ourselves and also snuck in some exciting new features—like long-form article publishing and more feeds customisations, plus plenty of interface refinements for both desktop and mobile.
A huge thank you to everyone who has set up a Bonfire instance, or joined the campground (our local-only testing space) to try out the app. Your suggestions and bug reports have been invaluable as we approach version 1.0. Please keep testing, sharing feedback, and helping us shape the future of federated social spaces!
✨ What’s new and improved?
Long-form publishing: Going beyond beyond short posts to read and write in-depth articles, ideal for essays, announcements, or detailed content. Article feeds are now available for RSS readers.
Smarter feeds: New feed options for events, books, and articles help you discover what matters to you most. You can now also filter out your own activities from your feeds when desired.
Multi-profiles overview: A new navigation menu can display all your profiles with notification indicators, allowing quick profile switching.
Private by default: New Bonfire instances start as invite-only, giving admins control over membership from day one.
Interface improvements: We've refined the user experience, enhanced notifications and ensured posts display properly across mobile devices.
More reliable: Tons of fixes for authentication, media uploads, mentions, moderation, and other core features.
Additional improvements include:
Better translation and localization workflow
Smoother OAuth/OpenID login and SSO support
Updated documentation and guides for admins and contributors
Enhanced S3 integration for uploads
Lots of small bug fixes on comment threads, messaging, settings, and more
For a comprehensive list of changes, see the full changelog.
🎪 Community contributions and other initiatives
We hosted our first install party using coop-cloud, with all participants who followed along successfully deploying their own Bonfire instances.
Seperately, ozoned from Fireside Fedilivestreamed their installation attempt, surfacing valuable setup challenges. This highlighted the need to simplify Docker deployment and improve documentation. Contributors are welcome to help make this easier!
Bonfire Social is built to be diverse and welcoming, which means making it accessible in as many languages as possible. Thanks to our amazing translators, Bonfire is now available in several languages.
- ...and several more, including Catalan, Cantonese and Taiwanese.
Want to help Bonfire speak your language? Please join us and make a difference for communities worldwide!
🤝 Help needed
As we push toward 1.0, we're facing some specific challenges where community support and contributions would make a real difference:
DevOps expertise: We need help streamlining the Docker installation process to make Bonfire more accessible to new users. If you have experience with containerisation and deployment workflows, your contributions would be invaluable.
Elixir developers: Join us in improving Bonfire's stability and performance. We're focused on eliminating bugs and enhancing the core extensions' reliability.
Financial support: As a small team of two working full-time on Bonfire, we need community support to sustain development. You can contribute through our Open Collective page.
Federation testing: We're seeking users willing to set up Bonfire instances and try out federation and interoperability with other fediverse platforms. Your real-world testing helps ensure Bonfire works seamlessly across the fediverse.
Translation: Please join us or share this with your multilingual friends!
These are our most pressing needs as we approach 1.0. If you can help with any of these areas, please get in touch via the fediverse, Matrix chat, or GitHub. Every contribution, big or small, helps make Bonfire better for everyone.
🙏 Thank you!

Hi, i had a transifex account (previous experience with Mozilla's tools) but I couldn't add myself to bonfire project, do you know if there's an easy way ? (when I tried with my account, project bonfire didn't appear)
I noticed your request for help testing federation with other platforms. I would love to help out.
In addition to a Mastodon account, I’m self-hosting GoToSocial, Friendica, PeerTube and Pixelfed. And I could even check interoperability with federated Wordpress blogs 🤗
@elena Thank you! Yeah if you're up for testing common flows (like follow/mention/reply/DM/post with CW...) and report back that'd of course be awesome (we did some testing of course, but there can always be exceptions), but since you're hosting them all yourself it'd be even more valuable if you're able check if things like flagging/blocks/edits/deletions work well and to get logs (or AP processing reports if they have that) otherwise. Thanks so much for offering!

L'apertura di citiverse.it non è soltanto la creazione di un nuovo forum o, dal momento che a tutti gli effetti è federata con il Fediverso, di una nuova istanza. Citiverse.it, sfruttando la versatilità di NodeBB, vuole infatti realizzare un ambiente che sia utilizzabile sia da chi è già dentro il Fediverso, sia – soprattutto – da parte di chi è fuori dal Fediverso.
Chi è su Lemmy infatti può utilizzare le "categorie" del forum NodeBB come se fossero "comunità" Lemmy.
Vediamo quindi quali sono le categorie di citiverse.it e rendiamole navigabili per l'utente Lemmy:

Non avevo letto il tuo post namirblog@namirblog.altervista.org (ti menziono anche come peppenamir@www.foxyhole.io perché non so se funziona il commento a wordpress) ma mi è capitato di vederlo ora, a poch ore dal lancio di questo nostro progetto citiverse.it
Sono d'accordo con la tua analisi: il Fediverso va promosso fuori dal Fediverso e, possibilmente, bisognerebbe anche evitare di chiamarlo Fediverso 😀
Chissà se il nostro citiverse riuscirà ad avvicinare un po' di gente?
PS: intanto sono molto contento di aver potuto "prendere" il tuo post di Wordpress e averlo "spostato" all'interno della categoria "Discussioni sul Fediverso"
Citiverse, la città dei social liberi, è l'alternativa aperta e italiana ai gruppi di Facebook dove è possibile parlare con persone della tua città o della tua tua organizzazione.
Ti piacciono i vecchi forum, ma vorresti che fossero collegati ai social network e ai blog? Ecco citiverse.it, la città dei social liberi e l’alternativa ai gruppi locali Facebook!
Abbiamo bisogno di un’alternativa ai gruppi Facebook per gli utenti italiani, in particolare i gruppi locali; ma non potendo competere con Meta, dobbiamo fare in modo che gli utenti del forum non siano da soli…

I social network sono stati costruiti su post brevi, pensati per velocità e scalabilità. Ma cosa succederebbe se la prossima era del web fosse costruita per qualcosa di più profondo?
Due dei "longformer" del social web stanno lavorando su questo aspetto. @John O'Nolan , fondatore e CEO di #Ghost, e @Matthias Pfefferle lo sviluppatore del plugin #ActivityPub per #WordPress, sono all'avanguardia nell'integrazione delle funzionalità social con blog, newsletter, saggi e qualsiasi cosa che non rientri in uno spazio di 500 caratteri o meno.
In questa puntata di Dot Social, parlano con @Mike McCue CEO di #Flipboard, della riscoperta della magia della blogosfera, del perché formattazione, identità e interoperabilità siano problemi difficili da risolvere e del posto che la scrittura occuperà nel prossimo capitolo di Internet.
I punti salienti includono:
Importanza per scrittori e blogger
Modelli per la scoperta
Principi fondamentali per portare il formato lungo sul social web
Rediscovering the Magic of the Blogosphere, with John O’Nolan and Matthias Pfefferle
Social networks were built on short posts designed for speed and scale. But what if the next era of the web was built for something deeper?
Two of the social web’s “longformers” are working on this. John O’Nolan, the founder and CEO of Ghost, and Matthias Pfefferle, the developer behind the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress, are at the forefront of integrating social features with blogs, newsletters, essays — anything that doesn’t fit in a box of 500 characters or less.
In this episode of Dot Social, they talk with Flipboard CEO Mike McCue about rediscovering the magic of the blogosphere; why formatting, identity, and interoperability are tricky problems to solve; and where writing belongs in the next chapter of the internet.
Highlights include:
Importance to writers and bloggers
Models for discovery
Core principles around bringing long-form to the social web
Lessons from Web 2.0, email
Rough edges and need for collaboration

È il segnale che qualcosa davvero sta per cambiare oppure il fragile equilibrio del fediverso rischia di essere compromesso dall’arrivo di piattaforme con decine o centinaia di milioni di utenti (e che si reggono su modelli di business tradizionali)? Sognare che le logiche alla base dell’open web contagino infine anche il mondo social non costa nulla. Ma è bene essere pronti a un brusco risveglio.
Nonostante la sua complessità, l’ecosistema aperto e decentralizzato simboleggiato da Mastodon continua ad attirare grandi piattaforme come Threads o Flipboard: è la rivincita dell’open web o l’inizio della fine?
Distracted dolphin or frolicsome frog? Did you notice that in Raccoon themes are named according to a strange convention? Have you ever wondered why? My latest article explains the localization journey which has brought to this result.
Localization and customization are first-class citizens at Procyon, as already discussed. An feature in which they come together is the choice of the color theme to apply to the app.
A Milano, più di trenta esperienze di scuole aperte hanno cominciato a camminare insieme per rafforzarsi come scuole partecipate attente ai quartieri nei quali operano, ma soprattutto per sostenere le realtà al momento meno attive.

When working on Kotlin Multiplatform apps there are several choices for dependency injection but not all offer the same developer experience. Have a look at my latest blog post to know about what alternatives I used in Raccoon apps and why!
Dependency injection (or DI) has been the backbone of Android development for years, bringing flexibility, easier refactoring, and proper lifecycle management through decoupling and abstraction.
nice summary. I work on a Koin "big project" and while it's moderately easy to onboard new devs and explain how it works, I do not recommend Koin unless it's a small-mid size project (dunno about KMP) Sidenote: you made a typo:
"Java dependency: noth rely heavily on generated Java code,"
ORCID è uno schema di identificazione e un database bibliografico per accademici che mira a rendere le informazioni sui lavori dei ricercatori ampiamente e facilmente accessibili. Il Fediverse è un insieme di piattaforme social interoperabili in cui le persone possono seguirsi a vicenda oltre i confini delle piattaforme per leggere e condividere post di testo o altri media. Tra questi due ambienti, osserviamo norme sociali contrastanti sui "dati pubblici" e aspettative contrastanti su come le informazioni personali possono essere archiviate e ripubblicate. Durante la fase iniziale di progettazione di uno strumento per collegare i dati ORCID al Fediverse e rendere i record ORCID individuali consultabili su piattaforme social aperte, ci siamo trovati di fronte alla necessità di collegare e risolvere queste differenze per prevenire conflitti evitabili. Questo articolo documenta queste norme e aspettative, nonché il nostro approccio per collegarle e colmarle

in reply to Bonfire • • •Great that you integrate #OpenAlex! I really appreciate your efforts.
However, I am very skeptical about displaying the h-index and i10 index (and probably also about the overall citation count). With #DORA and #CoARA, we want to get away from these indexes. (They are readily available - but that's their deceptive seduction).
To stay in the analogy: At a campfire gathering, I am looking for deep (and also funny and affiliative) conversations with fellow researchers. If there is a guy shouting out his impressive h-index as a greeting, I would immediately leave.
If we try to build a utopian community place, we should not recreate the dysfunctional incentive structures of default academia.

The Commitments – CoARA
coara.euFelix Schönbrodt
in reply to Bonfire • • •@fresseng @openscience Not providing the metrics at all would be a value statement. But hiding it by default is definitely a step in the right direction!
Another idea, focused on the discussion content (and again depending on computational resources): Could you provide on-the-fly literature suggestions for current discussions? And in particular flag members of the community that have published to that topic?
Similar: Ping members of the community if a discussion touches an area of their expertise?
(Which all should be opt-in features, as not all members may want that).
Bonfire
in reply to Felix Schönbrodt • • •Should the open science network commit to the #DORA and #CoARA agreements and therefore not include researchers quantitative metrics at all ?

Björn Brembs
in reply to Bonfire • • •I agree that it should definitely not be shown by default and prominently, that's for sure.
Whether this kind of information should be available in principle, for vanity searches or for people who go digging after them, one could discuss, I think.
Felix Schönbrodt
in reply to Felix Schönbrodt • • •In the German Reproducibility Network @GermanRepro, we developed an academic code of conduct: "Creating a friendly and intellectually stimulating space" (reproducibilitynetwork.de/coc/).
This explicitly says: "We discuss views and claims based on the evidence and the quality of arguments, not based on the status of the people making the claim, nor their personal characteristics or their academic rank."
This is the atmosphere I'd like to see at a campfire. Maybe more aspects of that CoC are inspiring for an academic Bonfire.

in reply to Felix Schönbrodt • • •@GermanRepro What else could be extracted from #OpenAlex?
I would find this helpful:
1. The most recent publication/preprint of a member (as a first author, or also as coauthor?)
2. The most cited publication
3. Affiliation history: Maybe we have a common university in our history?
If your computing resources and the framework allow dyadic information (i.e., how do I relate to every member in the community):
3. What is my coauthor network distance? (I.e., how many hops do you need). If <=3, show the link.
4. What is the publication of that member that is closest to my own works? (e.g., based on embedding dimensions of title and abstract)
That is information that would foster a substantive discourse.

It might be needed to lower the migration barrier and foster Bonfire OSN uptake.
Of course, it comes along with the possibility to migrate between Bonfire, or OSN, instances as smoothly as possible.
Any plans of thoughts on that ?

Feature Proposal: full Mastodon instance migration
xplosionmind (GitHub)Nicolas Fressengeas
in reply to Bonfire • • •Here is another feature that came to my mind that might be interesting to put in the roadmap.
As OSN aims to provide the place to write articles and peer-reviews, with DOIs for each, as well as to provide DOIs for online scientific communication that is worth it, there is a deeper connection to make to ORCID. Aside from reading from ORCID, Bonfire could write these contributions to the scholarly record directly to the authors' ORCID records, with no action from them apart from allowing once Bonfire to write to their profile. Moreover, this would be a certified piece of information, making Bonfire part of the trust network that enables trustworthy scientific conversation.
To my opinion, that would involve two things. The first one is to certify Bonfire, the software, as an ORCID integrated service provider. This is free of charge. All information is there : info.orcid.org/vendors-and-ser…. For example, PKP is certified.
The second one, is the actual writing to the authors' ORCID record. It requires being an ORCID member, and is thus not free of charge. However, I think this is not to be done by Bonfire itself but rather by the institution that installed a particular instance. For example, in my university, we already are ORCID members, for other reasons, and using another piece of software to write to ORCID would be free of charge.
Thus, the main task for the Bonfire would be to get certified.
These are my thoughts for a summer day.
Have a great summer !

I wrote a bit about the similarities and differences between Encyclia and OSN in the FAQ: encyclia.pub/faq#opensciencene… OSN's scope has expanded since then, but I think it's still all accurate! 🙂
