#federate — Public Fediverse posts

@Tendar I just re-realized that this is #potus writing on his own social network with the name truth social. It just all makes so much sense.

I would love to see #truthsocial #federate with the fediverse, just so I can effectively block this junk.

And now Github will be develop by Microsoft AI Team so… Exist a software for hosting code (like Gitea) with a federation implementation (like mastodon) for users?

* HTML3 — see https://microformats.org/wiki/html3
* SVG — see https://microformats.org/wiki/svg
* XHTML — every version, 1.0, 1.1, 2.0
and now also:
* WML — https://microformats.org/wiki/wml

Literally any HTML-like or XML-like language that has a space-separated class attribute can work with microformats.

In constrast, every alternative to microformats (most now defunct) required adding new attributes, or worse, entirely new elements, which meant revising every language one at a time (or use of fragile XML Namespaces), resulting in supporting only 1-2 languages at most (HTML and XHTML) in practice, and nothing else.

Re-using the "class" attribute based on the existing footpath that web designers made for encoding additional semantics into their HTML, and the similarly extensible "rel" attribute, was one of the best design decisions in any extension format ever.

After 20 years, microformats continue to serve as another example of “loosely joined” approaches being more adaptable, reliable, resilient, and longer lasting than “tightly coupled”.

Introducing...

Federated Nexus!!!

Federated Nexus is a community resource hosting multiple public FOSS (especially federated) services, starting with Matrix and Forgejo.

We are also open to suggestions for new services to host, let us know in our Matrix room.

Sign up now (or join our Matrix room for future announcements or to hang out) at https://federated.nexus!

If you have any questions, ask in replies or our Matrix room.

Okay, but we can also #federate this now with the #fediverse. Like, #ActivityPub can handle search queries just fine.

So, just running on microcomputers, everyone can put on their own index whatever they want.

A person can _easily_ index 50,000 pages on a rapsberry pi.

A #FediSearch can broadcast any query to known peers. Each peer returns top-k results. The originating node can then aggregate and rank.

So @alice queries their FediSearch, it searches its own index and queries subscribed peers, those peers do the same thing. Nodes can choose who they trust, cache, etc.

The number of indexes pages will be something along the lines of `pages_per_nod * log(number_nodes)`. So a thousand nodes may only cover a million pages, but if the trust network is good, those are probably the most important million pages.

Also, I would venture that you'd have some nodes specializing in having a lot of pages: tens of millions, others just for stuff they like, others specifically for non-commercial interests. Selecting who you federate your search with really affects the ranking.

My experience with #bridgy is that it doesn't work for all supposedly #bridged #bluesky accounts. I've tried following a lot of the #aviation bsky accounts where there's a "web.brid.gy" bc they all migrated there from Xitter, & none of their posts show up in my Home feed save for maybe 1 or 2. I follow the web.brid.gy account here in #Mastodon but for some reason there are no posts, or if there are posts, they don't #federate for some reason with my instance. Disappointed

And in my next act I will deploy the blog for #badgefed to #cloudfare and make it static with #hugo and still #federate with #activitypub using workers

https://github.com/tryvocalcat/badgefed-blog

Anyone knows some cool #Photography and or #Art #Accounts on #Fedi to follow?
Maybe also some #photography and #photo editing tipps accounts aswell?

I want to diversify my #Feed a little and #federate with new instances.
To only get politics and tech stuff in your feed is not good for mental health. I need more #wholesome content.

I Have No Idea If Anyone Can See Me, But Here I am, Say Hello If You See Me.

I have been up since 4:30 a.m., I have been cold all day long, I have been battling this site, I broke it after spending 2 days of creating and getting it working, and had to spend most of the day to recover only half, and the site is up, but federation seems to be a bit slow, and either no one can see me, or they dont care to see me, and those I follow, I cant see their feeds yet, so I am abit miffed as to what is going on. Along with my being #disabled and living in #poverty and all that entails, it has been a banner day, if you know what I mean.

When you #decentralize & #federate #socialVR, communities grow organically.

Imagine joining a dance server as you love dancing. You spawn into a custom hub world *dedicated to #VR dancing*. Event calendars, users chatting about last nights rave, user-placed rifts to worlds that *stay open* until they're empty: open invitations.

It's instant integration into a #social group. Just find a community you want to base in and the whole #fediverse is open beyond.

Maybe #BasisVR framework will do it.

The people deigning to pop over here from Bluesky are so blindered and insufferable, as to make the latest trend... something I'm just not interested in.

They see a hot tub. I see a bad case of pinkeye.

Why don't you refocus all that energy on making Bluesky fully #federate? Or tell you what their business model is going to be? Are they going to sell your data? Are they going to promise you NOT to sell out, which would ALSO sell your data?
Bluesky is pro-transparency. They can do that, right?

#author #federate #fediverse #ghost #mastodon

y'all remember when Tumblr said they were gonna #federate? did they just forget or…?

If you are self hosting Bluesky PDS (Personal Data Server) to federate with the rest of the network, make sure you're using the latest version To update: `sudo pdsadmin update` #atproto #bluesky #protocol #federate #selfhost #socialnetwork #social #opensource #oss #foss #maintenance #help

@[email protected] re: “issue might be with what you're federating out maybe”, possibly except that regardless of what I’m federating out, the point in my reply to @[email protected] is that #Mastodon is still getting it half-right, which is a bug in Mastodon regardless of what I’m federating out.

Either Mastodon should be treating my hashtags precisely as hashtags, (re)linking them to the local tagSpace *and* ignoring them for link previews, or it should be treating them “purely” as links, and not changing their default/published hyperlink and considering them for a link-preview.

Re: “help to have the activities json representation” — my understanding is that should be automatically discoverable from my post permalink, so all that should be needed for a bug report is my post permalink. Perhaps @snarfed.org can clarify since I’m using https://fed.brid.gy/ to provide that representation.

Either way, is there a validator for the “activities json representation” that we can use to test a particular post permalink, have it auto-discover an activities json representation, and report back what it finds and the validity thereof?

For example, since my posts use the h-entry standard, I am able to validate my post permalinks using the IndieWebifyMe h-entry validator:

https://indiewebify.me/validate-h-entry/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftantek.com%2F2024%2F132%2Ft1%2F

Which finds and validates that I have marked up my hashtags/categories correctly.

Re: “@[email protected]'s Mention there got federated as a Link instead of as a Mention (since replying to this post didn't automatically include flaki's handle)” — this too sounds like a (different) Mastodon bug, since I believe @[email protected] was notified of my reply and mention of their handle. Perhaps Mastodon is getting it half-right: notifying but not canoeing¹?

Did you receive a notification in your Mastodon instance/client of this reply and its mention of your @[email protected]? Or only one but not the other?

We've been discussing these issues, amongst others lately in the Fediverse-City room on Matrix, what with the relative demise of Meetup.com following its acquisition by WeWork, and the rise of *events over at Faceplant further obviating them having much to do with a plethora of event management projects exploding onto the scene for the past couple of years.

It's been a while since I've visited #Faceplant, so long in fact, I only recently became aware a couple of years ago that they had a marketplace that has largely supplanted craigslist, and finding out just today that they in fact have some sort of events system - that speaks volumes, I think, toward my dedication to dogfooding my #FOSS and simply ignoring, for the most part, there are still some privacy disrespecting operators in the deprecated monolithic silo space of social networking.

#Mobilizon, #Hubzilla, #Rebased, and #Friendica have their own take on how these event management systems should #Federate through the rest of the #Fediverse, while others mentioned in the article below, including #WordPress try to fit into that niche in a cooperative, interoperable way... and it's paying off. Bigtime.

It's a good read, events are powerful for hobbyists, technologists, sports enthusiasts, and just about any kind of IRL or remote attendance awareness and organizing; so it only stands to reason that #DeSoc, and social networking in general include the capabilities to seamlessly propagate events as globally possible.

At the very least, events are heralded as one of the best ways to get free pizza 🍕 and beer 🍺 with others that have common interests. After a veritable shitload of funding from many sources, including NGI0 and even larger corporate sponsors, we're approaching a place where anyone with a Fediverse account, even on the smolweb or most obscure platforms like Threads, will be privy to things like announcements, RSVP, alerts, Etc., of upcoming events, regardless of whether your Fediverse platform of choice directly supports event management.

And it is perhaps a little ironic, that #Threads users themselves will likely have at their disposal, an event notification and management capability in direct conflict with the one that Meta wants them to use - I dunno how that's going to work out, but I think it's pretty kewl that nobody else does either at this time.

#tallship #Fediverse_City #NGI0 h/t to @silverpill for the heads up on the following article, he just always seems to know where that rabbit is hiding in the tophat and pulls it right out when it's most needed, lolz.

The whole #threads fiasco is a no-win situation for #mastodon, IMHO.

If a majority of instances #defederate with #threads, then #meta and zuck can claim mastodon is hostile and move on to the #extend part of "embrace-extend-extinguish" and create proprietary features.

If a majority of instances #federate and accept threads, Meta and Zuck will embrace it but continue to #extend and eventually take defacto control of the #ActivityPub protocol.

@Gargron, good luck threading this needle, man! 👍

So what is #meansofproduction?

MoP is open source software being designed to power libraries. It has two key features - the ability to create a #distributedlibrary, and the ability to #federate between many different libraries.

We'll handle each of these items separately, then dive into the tech stack, status, and later features!

If you'd like to get involved, please let me know!

With all this current talk of who should or should not #federate with whom, I have a very basic question:

What is the mechanism for a random Mastodon user to figure out which instances their instance (or any other instance) has #federated or #defederated with? Is there any interface or public data to expose that information? Or is it all a matter of rumor, side channels, and insider knowledge?

@cstross

Frankly, I can't see a whole lot of the private instance admins wanting to #federate with #Facebook. Maybe whats-his-name's big one (mastodon.social?).

So I'm guessing Meta would start offering to #pay instances to federate with them, at least at first, until they can get the network effects going.

It'll be interesting to see if it happens, and which admins are susceptible to the #bribe.

#NetworkEffects

In simpatico with @MattHodges :

#hashtags are a powerful key to #community.

To me:
#boosts #inform the community.
#favorites #appreciate the community.
#bookmarks #preserve the community.
At near-zero cost to #anybody? Used wisely. #ymmv

#beKind.
#beexcellenttoeachother.

#federate. Or don't.

#weMight #build #anything we all might want. Or hate. Accept some/no #code substitutes & #follow #freely. Enjoy #everything & feed back.🥳
