@mousey maybe there are two steps: have a machine help me find interesting people that I wouldn’t easily find myself can be valuable. But it needs to be optional and get out of the way once the relationship is established.
@meissa We're working on it. I assume you have seen https://feditest.org/ ? Docs are roughly current. Other than working through open issues, our next goal is to publish a set of webfinger test results within days, and then get more and more of the tests in tests/fediverse to work against a small set of fediverse applications. Maybe forgejo could be one of them? Join us in the Matrix group?
Tried to send a message to the IETF's #WebFinger mailing list with some feedback from @feditest. Tried three different sender e-mail addresses. None of them went through. Not sure what else to try.
Making glazed citron from this recipe and the lemons in the front yard. I’m on the last day, trying to get it to 235deg F. Somehow (heh!) the temperature doesn’t want to rise above 212. I think I made some kind of scientific discovery /s
Duuhhhh … turns out the silly Bluetooth thermometer also has a 212F limit, and doesn’t indicate it!! So I’ve been burning my citron while waiting for it to get hotter!!
I'm not comfortable with rejecting requests just because they fail to percent-encode the @ so my vote is for that test to be relaxed a bit.
Overall I'm impressed with how easy it was to get this running. Switching from the quickstart instructions to testing my own instance just involved copying the "gargron" example test plan and changing a few parameters. It couldn't have been simpler.
I haven't looked at the UBOS stuff yet. That will have to wait for another day.
@fentiger You are the first one to accuse us we are making #FediTest simple :-) Rest assured, testing bidirectional interactions won't be as simple as WebFinger tests... but then, we sure try!
Rachel: one of the challenges with the fediverse is: how do you figure out where your content went, and how can I follow that conversation that now exists on multiple different servers?
Wants all replies in the same spot. That helps feel people in control.
This is actually a really good point imho. It's not just confusing that reply trees aren't eventually consistent across the fediverse, but it creates uncertainty because I don't even know what people say in response.
Mike: "one of the original sins of the internet is that the relationship between the person and a website was not done at the protocol level. I see the fediverse with the ability to have a direct relationship as a core answer to them treating people with respect."
