Bug | Friendica: Das hat irgendwie den Rahmen zerschossen
Eben habe ich in meinen Stream/Timeline folgendes gesehen:
Rufe ich den Beitrag einzeln auf, sieht es genauso aus. Der Link zum Originalbeitrag ist hier. Ich habe aber keine Ahnung warum das bei mir so dargestellt wird.
It doesn't matter if you are new to the #fediverse or if you have been here forever, it's always good to keep in mind that (a) what server you pick, and (b) what software that server runs, matter.
I should admit am fairly new at this. I created my first fediverse account only a year ago. It was a #mastodon server with about 8,000 users. And while it "worked" there was something missing from the experience.
While researching the idea of hosting my own server, I discovered #FireFish which in turn led to discovering #IceShrimp. It's hard to describe how much better the experience is with IceShrimp.
The #UI is just so much better, and the feature set way more robust. The way it handles replies, the ability to quote, to use multiple emojis, etc.
If you have friends or family thinking about joining the Fediverse or are feeling unimpressed with your mastodon experience, I highly recommend getting an account running IceShrimp or other similar software.
Probably also worth mentioning that I also looked at using a #Wordpress integration and #Hubzilla#GoToSocial#Pleroma#Humhub and #Streams. I found them to be clunky; reminding me of how email was in the early 90s.
If the fediverse is going to thrive, then it needs to make a good first impression. Moving beyond mastodon is a good step in the right direction.
If this "privacy setting" for #quoteposts is implemented with it enabled by default, the result will be disastrous. :reisensweat: Since there is no other way to enforce this setting other than #defederation, we are going to see Mastodon servers strong-arming those software developers who are "non-compliant" by threatening a #fediblock. :reisensweat: Developers of the -key and -oma families will suddenly have to scramble to make their implementation of #quotetweets compatible with Mastodon's "privacy-friendly" implementation. :satsuki_sadge: This way of "extending" the fediverse is not acceptable, and everyone who has opposed #Facebook joining the fediverse due to #EmbraceExtendExtinguish should also oppose this issue which just eventually leads to the same result.
Do any of the #Fediverse platforms have a function to swipe through a whole timeline of media/photos? I mean like in one post with several photos you can click/swipe through them, this function for a whole timeline.
Any Mastodon kompatible app? Maybe hidden somewhere in Pleroma?
I'm really pleased to see so much variety in the #ActivityPub space, but I'm not sure that having more and more #pleroma and #Misskey forks, none of which seem to have a solid reliable management structure, is that great an idea.

Yesterday I tried to setup my own version of OCRbot@fedi.lynnesbian.space, which does #OCR on pictures attached to posts on the #Fediverse, which I find an intriguing idea. During the process to set this up I was lazy and asked #ChatGPT to guide me through the whole process, which is fairly easy to be honest, but I an playing around with this #AI for fun.
I wanted to run the OCR #bot on my own #Friendica server, because I like to run on my own tech too.
So I asked Chatty to guide me and it worked well, I logged in with the Python bot and wanted to start it and got an API error, it was only then when I told ChatGPT that I am actually trying this with Frienidca and that the API might have its limits.
I then looked up the API documentation of the Mastodon API that Friendica implemented and asked ChatGPT if there is any essential parts missing that are needed to run the bot.
ChatGPT 'read' the documentation of both, the bot and the Mastodon API of Friendica and explained:
"Since Friendica doesn't support the Mastodon streaming API, the OCRbot, which relies on these endpoints, may not be compatible with Friendica without significant modifications to either the bot or the Friendica server."
Just wanted to write a bit about this experience with Friendica, the bot and ChatGPT.
Maybe I will setup a #Pleroma instance for this, a single user instance for me and the bot, maybe better a Mastodon instance?
Meanwhile in #Misskey and #Pleroma, I hear nothing but praise and appreciation for @syuilo and @lain from their respective #fediverse software users AFAICS...
Such a totally different vibe you get when you actually listen to your community and not be a jackass when the users clearly wanted a feature added (to the point of even doing the work themselves instead of the main developers doing it) :cirno_fumo_yes:
Vor ziemlich genau einem Monat habe ich mir eine #Firefish Instanz aufgesetzt und schreibe dort als @grischa
Das gefällt mir da so gut, dass ich hier seit dem auf meiner #Pleroma Instanz keinen einzige Beitrag mehr verfasst habe, dafür drüben aber kontinuierlich.
Es gibt auf Pleroma ein paar (wenige) Dinge, die ich drüben vermissen werde, aber unterm Strich ist Firefish so viel mächtiger und spaßiger, dass ich jetzt dann doch endlich den Umzug vollziehen werde.
Seit seinen Anfangstagen hat #Facebook penibel darauf geachtet, alle... zu #eliminieren.
Der einfachste Weg das zu erreichen, ist es, Firmen zu kaufen, die eines Tages zur Konkurrenz werden könnten.
