Wie steht es denn inzwischen mit den Antworten auf per #ActivityPubPlugIn aus #WordPress veröffentlichten Beiträgen? Werden die auch im Blog gepostet? Und kann ich dann von dort wieder antworten? Oder funktioniert ein weiterführendes Gespräch nur unter Einbeziehung des Autorenaccounts? Ist das am Ende ohenhin #bestpractice?
@annette ja ich habe immer wieder kommentare in meinem blog der von hier aus gepostet worden sind - da läuft #activitypub vom @pfefferle perfekt sauber - du kannst dann im blog antworten und der user sieht es hier
Despite the despicable mangling that #Mastodon does of non-Note #ActivityPub objects, I'm getting more and more annoyed when opening a link “in-app” (e.g. by dragging it to the search field) doesn't work, because it's not a link to an AP service.
Allerdings habe ich grad einen "Resource Limit is Reached"-Fehler, nachdem ich "Share on Bluesky" vom lieben @pfefferle aktiviert habe. Wie komme ich denn nun aus dieser Schleife raus? Ach ja, umbenannt habe ich den Plugin-Ordner bereits, ändert aber nix.
Ach, hat sich gegeben, aber das Plugin tat leider nix.
@pfefferle Ich hab eh arge Probleme mit #ActivityPub an sich festgestellt. Die 508-Fehler stehen alle in Verbindung mit ActivityPub. Kann ich ActivityPub denn einfach so ausschalten? Oder reißt es mir da was kaputt? Ich würde das Friends Plugin ebenfalls deaktivieren.
Ach ja, ich hab dazu ein Ticket bei WordPress aufgemacht. Aber das wurde nicht freigeschaltet. Da hatte ich einen Auszug des Access Log dabei.
"The promises of the fediverse can “solve a pretty huge distribution problem,” Patel said. Instead of spending time building a presence on other platforms for their benefit, a publisher can do that on their own sites — while giving readers the ability to see those posts on other federated platforms." https://digiday.com/media/why-publishers-are-preparing-to-federate-their-sites/
How many people read but never post on social media? I think it's pretty high. You need an account to track who you are following for that, but that's it. Isn't this kinda like the podcast experience, where people have an app and an account there but nothing is public? Or consider how most people use YouTube.
Perhaps the #SocialWeb could learn from this. First get people on an app. Setting up their app account gives them an #ActivityPub ID on the developer's default server. Move on from there.
I'm adding new profile fields to #Smithereen, so I would like to ask the fediverse about what kinds of contact info one would expect to be able to add to their profile. So far I've seen:
Personal website/blog
Matrix
XMPP
Telegram
Signal
Phone number
Twitter
Email
I've not yet seen these in fediverse profiles but they are mainstream enough that won't hurt to add:
I'm just a humble country chicken admin, but I've been thinking a lot about the cost of the fediverse and how we can improve it for all of the instances... in a coop kind of way
The cost of handing all of the media is THE major problem for me atm.
I gotta admit, I am very much enjoying @ghost's ActivityPub progress newsletter.
Last week they were having an existential crisis, this week they're saying it's our fault as the users, that ActivityPub is so hard.
(I'm paraphrasing the most dramatic part without context for the read receipts)
Tumblr promised ActivityPub support and then disappeared for 2 years. Ghost promised ActivityPub support, and then their engineers appear each week to tell us how they regret that decision. #activitypub
Writing the most basic #activitypub implementation in #php that is compatible with shared hosting. I've seen some other great projects, but I needed a "call this function with a simple message" functionality for some existing websites
One thing I want to point out about https://pubkit.net is that I know a service like this could be easily abused!
This is why you will have to verify ownership of servers you want to test against
It can be a text file or DNS record, and in special cases, I can make exceptions for devs who want to test against instances they can't publicly verify
The point is, PubKit will be opt-in, and won't require a fediblock, services like these can be done right 😎
So, #Smithereen no longer requires a username when signing up. You instead get assigned one automatically, of the form "idXXX" where XXX is the ID for your user record. You can change it later in settings if you wish. Current Mastodon versions handle this change no problem.
The username is only visible in two places:
The URL of your profile
When someone mentions you
So it's not very important. Definitely not important enough to be a required field when you register.
#postnews is again telling me they are shutting down. I want to be nice but they could have built sustainable services within the #ActivityPub ecosystem. It would have helped everyone thrive. They knew that. They weren't as ignorant of the options as most of their users. They could have helped improve any problems or deficiencies they identified in what was already available. instead they wanted to be the hero and get rich. I guess I'm sorry they fell for the Hollywood version of capitalism.
