#Nodeinfo has proven invaluable to me and also many of the public Fediverse databases, for example, with things like:

• The particular MRF settings implemented for a particular instance
• Fingerprinting exactly which platform and version is being examined
• How many local users have accounts on the instance
• Average number of posts in various different perspectives - total, per user, this period, Etc.
• Whether or not the instance is operated by Good, sharing Fedizens or people that choose not to disclose.

A #FEP for this can go a long way toward stabilizing this defacto standard as dejure.

#Fedilab's commitment to support the most popular #Fediverse platforms such as #Pleroma, #Soapbox, #Akkoma, #Misskey, #Firefish, #Mitra, #Pixelfed, #Solo, #Peertube, and other, unnofficially supported platforms like #Takahe is commendable, and Nodeinfo is a great way to enter into the foray of deterministically providing the users with that support.

It also encourages instance operators to make this information public - as it should be in almost all cases.

@apps Wait y'all added quote posts?

I might start using #Fedilab again then! Esp. if you guys fixed the issue with the duplicate emoji buttons too

@apps Some servers add a list of supported features to NodeInfo metadata object (e.g. Pleroma). It would be cool to have a standard for those.

@apps

How does the quote function actually work?

And after enabling the reactions, and when I click the reaction icons in the timeline, nothing happens.
Any solutions to this please

@apps I assume this means adding in a feature to quote-boost others' posts, not enable/disable quote-boosts on our own posts? I'd really rather not invite Twitter-style dogpiles on my own stuff 😅
