Dear #Mastodon and #Firefish developers.
I beg you to add support for WebP lossy, WebP lossless and JPEG XL. Also SVG for emojis.
Encode PNG into lossless WebP, and JPEG into both WebP lossy and JPEG XL. Fedi admins will thank you for the transfer and storage saves!
Testing #Bluesky out, but it’s obvious that #Sharkey is just more fleshed out - neither are close to perfect but Sharkey (and likely other Fedi apps) are definitely closer (imo). Very jealous of them having an official mobile client though. I remember hopping on #Firefish from #Mastodon, and there was hype from the FF team that they are looking to commission for an official FF mobile client or at least for support in a general client - that official client never came in the end even after FF’s death today. Dk if it’s Sharkey’s plan to be like Mastodon and have an official mobile client eventually.
Apparently, Tumblr's CEO stepped on his crank and outed himself as a TERF. We does not abide the TERF. No we doesn't.
If you're fleeing #Tumblr and checking out the #fediverse, welcome! I hope you find a home here. You have quite a few options with #Mastodon, #Miskey, #Firefish#Sharkey (I'm posting this from sharkey.world), and the practically thousands of instances within those. Each have their own flavor and features, so don't feel you have to settle on one off the bat. It's not unusual to see new users sign up on one instance, then eventually move to another, then another before they find the community that fits them best.
Looking for something more "bloggy"? Bear Blog and Pika are two services offering simple blogging tools with an emphasis on "small blogging". They are unassociated with the major blogging platforms and offer a fresh alternative to them.
Ich werde jetzt immer mal wieder die Firefish Instanzen mit aufnehmen, die ein aktuelles Update eingespielt haben.
Bei https://firefish.fediverse.observer/list kann man die übrigens daran erkennen, dass unter Ausführung (Version) 0.0.0.0 angezeigt wird. Scheinbar kann der Observer nicht damit umgehen, dass es zwei Arten von Versionsnummern gibt.
Hello again #Fediverse, I may need your #fedihelp. So, here's a list of the Fediverse software I'm about to make temporary accounts for to test all the features and differences:
So, did I miss anything noteworthy? Does anyone have any tips or recommendations before I choose a server for any one of these? I'll probably be going for the most popular server on each for improved federation and maintenance.
Note: I'm using #Sharkey right now and Misskey forks are already overrepresented, so that's why it's not included.
@erua И? В чём проблема? #Firefishне портит картинки, в отличие от #Mastodon / #Pixelfed. И особо без разницы, будет там 200 гигов или 10 — для картинков достаточно.
@andreclaassen das #fediverse ist so voller verschiedener sachen, #firefish#gotosocial#castopod da kann man soviel ausprobieren von motivierten leuten programmiertes, da hab ich persoenlich gar keinen bedarf zu schauen, was die milliardaere des planetens so programmieren lassen.
wir sind zwar nicht mehr, aber vielleicht genug ;)
An #Android#fediverse app I would love to have: A common place for notifications/feeds across Fediverse accounts, but interactions happen in native #Firefox PWA views of the sites rather than a custom homogenous UI. IOW, I still want #Firefish, #Pixelfed, etc to look and feel like they natively do on the server, but have a common aggregated launching point for interactions.
Good to hear that #firefish is still alive and in good hands. They released a new version. I wish them luck with their future developments, even if we aren’t using FireFish anymore.
Great to read that someone has taken the reigns of the #Firefish code. A new release today too.
Some of the comments on the release are interesting around how this all came to be, and the future. It may not be forever, but at least FF is for now and will hopefully settle FF admins until they have a plan and more info.
New #Firefish release! And this is the new official account for the project, under naskya's leadership, give them a follow if you want to stay updated. Best of luck in the new beginning! 🚀
