Nel 2024, per la prima volta, si ha finalmente la sensazione di avere una massa critica di persone e piattaforme interessate a ridare vita a Internet per riportare in vita ciò che abbiamo perso e creare qualcosa di nuovo. Solo nell'ultima settimana ci sono state conversazioni fra #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #TheVerge, #Buttondown, #WriteFreely e diversi co-autori della specifica #ActivityPub. C'è la sensazione palpabile che questo possa essere l'anno del web aperto!
Cos'è l'account @writefreely? È un account sperimentale che vuole aggregare il blog italiani presenti su #Writefreely.
L'account è anche un gruppo Friendica e pertanto, chiunque lo segue può creare un nuovo messaggio menzionando questo account e l'account lo pubblicherà automaticamente per mostrarlo a tutti gli altri follower
Is there a “I want #quotes in #Mastodon” button that I can hit somewhere?
Seriously, it’s holding everything and everybody behind.
Context: I’ve decided to play with some tighter interaction between my #Akkoma social feed and my #WriteFreely blog.
I can now write long posts in a more blog-friendly format on @fabio. Then leverage the Fediverse integration to quote them from my main handle.
My Akkoma post can add a TL;DR and a bunch of hashtags. And the quoted message has a nice “Read more“ link that can expand the blog post for those who want to read it directly on their timeline.
Amazing, right?
Well, just look how nicely it’s rendered on my Akkoma instance, and how Mastodon renders it instead.
A cryptic RE: https://my.write.freely/api/posts/post-id that doesn’t even render a preview nor anything.
The cryptic version is the way that >75% of the people who use the Fediverse will see on their timelines.
No matter how much progress other implementations decide to do. No matter how sophisticated their UX. If the major implementation decides that quotes will never be a thing, we’re kind of stuck in the state where JavaScript could do amazing things on Firefox, but most of the folks used IE, so the party was ruined for everybody else too.
OK, trying a new un-corporate host for my blogs. Here is my first post, a poem. Please support my change from Medium to WriteFreely by visiting and helping me promote:
@knightdave Witaj Człowieku, jeśli chodzi o Mastodona to chyba mogę polecić pol.social od @ftdl. Obecnie jeśli miałbym rezygnować z tej instancji to tylko na rzecz własnej (co jest obecnie dla mnie nierealne) lub zupełnie czegoś innego niż Mastodon (o ile mnie zwali z nóg).
Mam też konto na 101010.pl od @xaphanpl, ale to zapasowe. Byłem tam przez długi czas i było bardzo przyjemnie.
Ale jeśli chcesz pisać dłuższe teksty lub udostępniać linki to warto pomyśleć na czymś innym niż #Mastodon, np. #kbin. Tutaj również polecam fajną i stabilną instancję od FTDL - bin.pol.social.
A jeżeli chcesz pisać bardzo długie teksty to może warto pomyśleć nad blogiem połączonym z Fediverse? Tutaj mogę też polecić #WriteFreely, a konkretnie instancję @to3k WriteFreely.pl (którą swoją drogą też jest na serwerach FTDL).
@dansup I believe a better option would be premium hosting. Basically allow users of #Pixelfed to host content under their own domain, & you could throw in the checkmark as a bonus. 😉
Similar to how @matt provides premium hosting to #WriteFreely via Write.as & @photomatt provides premium #WordPress hosting via WP.com (are there any other examples‽).
It would benefit the community plus encourage other hosts to take a second look at Pixelfed.
Since I've gotten exactly one webmention for my blog, I obviously had to put some work in to display this webmention on my blog. 😄 Had to do some reading to figure out how to make Hugo download external resources, but otherwise it was pretty smooth sailing. Much thanks to https://webmention.io/. Still not implemented sending webmentions yet though.
@henrikjernevad Looks like I'd need to add IndieAuth support to my (WriteFreely) web site before I could use webmention.io. Probably not worth the effort.
I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only)
A while ago I posted a thread back on the...
