At the last ForumWG meeting, we discussed at length about Article vs. Note, and whether there was a desire to expand usage of as:Article. You can review those minutes here.

One of the action items that came out was to collate the state of current implementations. Unfortunately, outside of implementations that federate non-textual content (e.g. Pixelfed Stories, Mobilizon Events, etc.), the majority of implementors just use as:Note, which is not surprising given Mastodon's treatment of non-Note objects.

You can see the results of the summary here.

What is less clear is whether there is pent-up demand for use of a different data type for more richly forrmatted content. @mikedev and @jupiter_rowland provided some very illuminating history behind previous attempts to use as:Article, but importantly it seems that Mastodon (via @renchap) may be open to supporting this in some form as well.

While Mastodon has every reason to display as:Note as it sees fit, I'd like to hopefully address the undue influence towards using it especially in instances where as:Article were more appropriate. Mike (upthread) suggested a compromise:

• that as:Note be reserved for content with attachments (images or otherwise), perhaps with a limited subset of html
• and as:Article be used for content with a richer set of html (e.g. tables), and including the ability to display inline images

I explicitly did not specify that Note was for shorter content and Article for longer, because there exist plenty of examples of the reverse.

Does anybody see potential complications from such an arrangement?

Decide to try #hubzilla it's nice but it is true that it is difficult to use o(￣▽￣)ブ

I'm also still deciding if i will keep this account linked to bluesky or not... 🤔

Testing the Fediverse's interconnectivity between apps and protocols

One thing that would have been nice to know as a newbie on the Fediverse:...

Part 01:

This noob is testing the interconnectivity of the #Fediverse:

The word out there on the Fediverse make it seem as if all the different tools (Mastdn/P-tube/Lemmy/etc.) can interact with one another. But this is not the case, as some work both ways, whilst others only one way, or at all.

So made accounts & been testing for past few weeks:
a) #Hubzilla
b) #Friendica
c) #Mastodon
d) #Kbin
e) #Lemmy
f) #Iceshrimp
g) #Bonfire
h) #Peertube
i) #Funkwhale
j) #Pixelfed
