Socialhome.Network as a searchable federation archive

The Socialhome node socialhome.network/ is both widely federated AND searchable by non-members. It displays both posts AND profile pages even to non-members, which is NOT the case for Diaspora* pods.

If you're looking for specific content from a now-defunct pod, Socialhome may be able to turn that up for you.

You can search for a specific profile by the its handle, e.g., [email protected] or [email protected], for my present and now-defunct Joindiaspora profiles, using the site's Search feature.

My (now-offline at origin) Joindiaspora profile appears as:

socialhome.network/p/702b2f0c-…

Note that the profile GUID is NOT the same as it would be for my Joindiaspora profle itself (`d8210c0de509264f``). The Diaspora* GUID can be used to construct a URL visible from the Diaspora* Pod you have an account on and are logged in to, but not as a globally-viewable third-party-accessible URL. Socialhome solves this problem.

That is, if you are on Glasswings, this URL links to my Joindiaspora profile:

diaspora.glasswings.com/people…

But if you're not, it won't. Glasswings users might try a different pod such as Diasp.org:

diasp.org/people/d8210c0de5092…

Instead, third-party visitors are presented with a log-in / registration page. Socialhome solves this problem specifically.

There may be additional features / API apparent at the Socialhome GitLab repo: git.feneas.org/socialhome/soci…

Noting that that is a FENEAS URL, also likely to go offline in the near future, GitHub:

github.com/jaywink/socialhome

Limitations

The downsides to Socialhome seem to be that:

• References to content and profiles does not follow Diaspora*-assigned GUIDs. That is, there's no automated way to refernece a specific post or profile.
• I'm not seeing an obvious way of exposing a JSON abstract of posts or profiles --- the Diaspora* trick of appending .json to the end of a URL does not work, and I'm not seeing a JSON abstract in the raw HTML. There may still be an API.

Photos are displayed but appear to be served from the original host, not separately federated. Once the origin host goes offline, photo links / embeds will be broken.

It's not clear how widely or deeply content is federated, though some should be better than none. This option was brought to my attention by @isaackuo in comments here.

Godspeed Joindiaspora

... At 20:01 UTC the site started throwing 502 Bad Gateway errors. This means that the planned maintenance has begun. According to previous announcements (see below), the site will return in a “limited-service mode” at some future point, precise time not known. How long the site will remain available in this mode has also not been clear, though suggestions are that it will be at least a month. I would hope longer. ...

Hello there. If you need a place to go if you are losing your pod, I would recommend going to this site: diaspora.fediverse.observer/li…

My favorite sites on there are:

• diaspora.koehn.com
• pod.dapor.net
• nota.404.mn (my pod that I admin)

¡Buenas!

Ya que JoinDiaspora (el servidor de Diaspora que uso) va a cerrar, me pueden encontrar en mi cuenta principal, de la red Friendica: [email protected] . Pueden ponerse en contacto conmigo independientemente de que usen Diaspora, Friendica, Mastodon u otras redes federadas del Fediverso

Hello!

Since JoinDiaspora (the Diaspora server I am using) will be shut down soon, you will be able to find me on my main account, [email protected] (in the Friendica network). You can reach me regardless the federated network you are using (Diaspora, Friendica, Mastodon...) within the Fediverse.

Salut !

Puisque JoinDiaspora (le serveur Diaspora que j'utilise) va bientôt fermer, vous pourrez me retrouver dans mon compte principal, appartenant au réseau Friendica : [email protected] . Vouz pouvez me contacter où que vous soyez dans le Fediverse (Diaspora, Mastodon, Friendica...).

#JoinDiaspora #Fediverse #Fediverso #contacto #contact #Friendica

@dredmorbius shame that Diaspora doesn't have #Zot / #Zap's #NomadicIdentity... Would make these instance deaths easier to deal with...
At least with #Mastodon you can migrate your followers, somewhat, but I wish we could also easily migrate our content...

Any specific reason you went for #Glasswings? I kinda expected you to move to #PlusPora.

Personally I don't think I'll bother creating another #Diaspora* profile, as I barely used my #JoinDiaspora one anyway.

I must admit that one of the reasons I pick JD at the time, was that it seemed to be the flagship instance, and I expected that one to be one of the last to fall. Guess I was wrong. ;)
