I can think of three #fedicat features that are unique on iOS clients as far as I know: displaying alt text immediately, block everyone in a thread, and a like+boost button (someone here called it "bloost"?). Also supporting direct timelines and local-only posts on a few platforms, not sure if anyone else is doing that (I'm guessing someone is).

If you've ever wanted to contribute to the Mastodon project documentation, here's a fantastic issue from @trwnh that lists all the undocumented stuff: https://github.com/mastodon/documentation/issues/1211

Have been working on a bunch of documentation improvements for the Mastodon API today. Lots of cool stuff coming!

Presenting at the All Things in Moderation 2024 conference tomorrow! I also have a few comp tix if you can't afford/don't want to pay for registration (although a portion of the proceeds are going to the Kenyan Content Moderators Union). Full schedule here: https://bit.ly/ATIM2024

Interesting to compare the use of alt text based on which apps people use.

Mark your calendars!

The next FediForum, the unconference for the people who move the Fediverse forward, is coming up September 12-14, 2024.

The most recent Fediforum in March had the largest attendance ever of developers, users, moderators, and many other people interested in building a better social media environment. We will build on this in September, for the first time in a 3-day event. We'd love to see you join us and your peers.

More info and registration: https://fediforum.org

Fediverse App developers, would this help you in building out the correct UI for filing reports?

Currently this is all hard-coded into the web version

If you're looking to host your very own single-user/a-few-users #fediverse instance, you cannot go wrong with #snac. It is simple to install on Ubuntu and works very well with some really solid clients. It is also written in C, so it is fast, with few dependencies. Great work @grunfink, you've got a new monthly supporter on Ko-fi!

Rejoice!

The next version (1.10.39) of #IceCubesApp will include a option to use Apple Translate as your primary translation source. If you had „always use DeepL“ set in the previous version this should be reflected after you’ve updated.

It is pretty cool to see all the different forks of major fediverse platforms. Just learning about Chuckya, a "soft fork" of glitch-soc, which itself is a fork of Mastodon.

Really shows the diversity of the fediverse!

I really need some Swift help. If you’re feeling brave, could you check out this Cork issue? https://github.com/buresdv/Cork/issues/275

We’re having trouble with the “Somehow bypass this licensing scheme if the user compiled Cork themselves” part

Do you have any ideas on how to solve this? If you do and you help implement it, you’ll get a spot in the “Special thanks” section of the readme and within the app itself, as well as a free license or cash equivalent of the license

🧳I’m going to Seoul, South Korea next week. What should I see and do?

Art, history, nature, live music, nightlife, and gay stuff are of interest. I’m ok being a tourist. Day trips ok too, but I don’t have a driver’s license. Plant-based food recommendations especially appreciated.

You can now choose how you see comments in #Smithereen. This is most probably very buggy.

My Bridge Wizard now includes support for Bridgy Fed's ATProto-ActivityPub bridge in both directions! It tells you briefly how to opt in, and warns you that it might not work as expected.

Just been checking some of my fave webcams in the Alps for the aurora. Some highlights:

Nighttime view from the Zugspitze summit north over the dark Höllental and Garmisch-Partenkirchen with the entire scene tinted pink by the light of the aurora.
Nighttime view of the Zugspitze cablecar station near the summit with the entire scene tinted pink by the light of the aurora.
Nighttime view from the Nebelhorn summit over the still largely snow covered High Allgäu Alps (the ridge just north of Oytal) towards the Hochvogel pyramid. The entire scene tinted pink by the light of the aurora.

liaizon, 14 days ago to fediverse

Look at how @mikedev designed events in @streams! I would love to see this implemented in other software. @julian have you thought about how @nodebb would display an #ActivityPub event yet? Does @silverpill's @mitra have any support? What about @grunfink's SNAC?

Here's a link to the event itself if anyone wants to query it in their #fediverse software of choice.

A weird request, but here I am. I am looking for software developers who identify as Autistic. I'm trying to do some research for an upcoming film.

My DMs are open if you're interested.
