Super happy with this update because it adds not only a bunch of new cool features such as a new Notification system but also comes with some awesome under the hood security improvements like a more robust login token exchanges logic and various bug fixes due to heavy code review sessions.

@jscholes I could look into this feature request for #Zocial an enafore client I am currently maintaining and developing. However to understand this feature a little bit more. How should it work? I could implement a context menu entry to access the word filter function where you could add a new word on the fly. However a automatically hashtag filter could be problematic because oftenstimes posts contain more than one hashtag and just put all hastags to the filter would lead to some issues. So a word filter function from the context menu could work. Is this something you are interested in?

I am currently switching the translation feature for #Zocial (fediverse frontend client) from Google to LibreTranslate (Open Source).
Problem is, that they currently limiting the free of charge usage due to bot exploitations they are facing right now (https://de.libretranslate.com/).
However does someone know if there are any other trustworthy instances available one can use as long as this issue exists?

Almost 4 years ago Mastodon, and by extension the Fediverse, became and continues to be essentially my sole social media platform.
A significant factor in this was when I discovered Pinafore and immediately fell in love. You know when you use software that just *feels* right, like Corel Paradox or Turbo Pascal and so on?
I was using Paradox daily at a former employer sixteen years after Corel ceased active development, and it could very well still be in use there today. Pinafore quickly became as vital for me as Paradox was for the more than eight years I worked there.
Unfortunately Pinafore's creator archived the project, but it lives on in various forks, of which I hopped from one to the next as each one eventually became archived, or dormant, or disappeared altogether (Anyone remember Mahoot?).
It's almost like the project is cursed, because I know of at least half a dozen Pinafore variants that all started out with great intentions and noticeable activity but eventually fell silent.
At least.. a year ago maybe? a bug was introduced somewhere along the line that caused buffers to hang if any posts fall under a "hide with warning" filter were found. Watching the spinning circle of dots endlessly loading, refreshing because *sometimes* that fixed things, as it triggered a BPD meltdown in me countless times.
Other issues or lacking vital new features (translation, editing a post, etc.) caused me to very reluctantly try other front-ends but I just couldn't deal with it. I even tried consciously *forcing* myself to use the other ones and despite the aforementioned buffering problem, I found Pinafore and its successors *less* maddening than these other interfaces. (No offense to the other front-ends; they're all amazing projects and work great for some people, but for whatever reasons they just don't work well for me.)
As I mentioned before, the Pinafore-style interface just fit my needs perfectly. So I just continued to be frustrated because I didn't have the knowledge/experience.
Yesterday, however I discovered @dome 's new Pinafore fork, Zocial. (Pinafore -> Semaphore -> Enafore -> Zocial). It's available at https://zocial.ztfr.eu.
True, Zocial is generated using Claude, but this seems like the only practical opportunity for us to have to attain a fully-operational Pinafore-style interface. I honestly believe it's a matter of accessibility because no other front-end has given me the freedom to learn about the Fediverse more than Pinafore.
Maybe I'm being a selfish, neurotic, myopic Goldilocks. I have no rebuttal for those accusations and I apologize for disappointing anyone, but the Fedi is basically my makeshift warm line and I need to keep that as easy for me to use as possible because I can't function without it.
Yes, I know.. "just don't use it!" Yes, I realize if Nolan Lawson had never developed Pinafore, life would go on. Life would also continue if we'd never invented defibrillators, but they sure are handy sometimes.
@dome fixed the above-mentioned bug, and a couple of others, in a matter of minutes today. It feels like finally being rid of a sore tooth. I hadn't realized just how infuriated I was becoming rather than coping.
Look, if someone wants to fork Enafore and repair the bugs that Claude already took care of, I'll almost certainly follow because with all due respect to @dome, I trust a human programmer more than I trust AI output.
However, that just doesn't seem to be possible. We're humans, and humans (understandably) have lives that aren't always congruent to dev plans.
But I personally *need* this interface to work. I love it. Surely I can't be the only one either, with so many people making forks of Pinafore.
So.. it's up to you dear reader (if you're even still awake) to decide if you want to try Zocial, but as for me I've already jumped head-first into it, slop or not.

Hi Fediverse,
I am looking for some beta testers for my #enfore #mastodon / #fediverse #client #Zocial.
So if you are interested in some awesome new features and if you like the aesthetics of #pinafore, just check it out here:
Instance:

Repo:

Disclaimer: For anyone who thinks that this is only AI slope I can tell you that I am not a programmer but a legal professional with interest in foss. So yes, I have used claude to help me here. However I took some time and effort to think those features through as well as the ux enhancements. So take it or leave it I guess. 😅 -
В #Nextcloud появился #прототип социальной сети, которая позволяет взаимодействовать с федирацией.
Все желающие могут ознакомиться
Адрес: https://digic.cloud
Логин: demo
Паполь: [email protected]
(За #флуд и #пиздец я не отвечаю, это полноценный #аккаунт, без ограничений).Социальная сеть имеет 2 профиля, один в социальной сети (скриншот 1), и другой nextcloud (скриншот 2). В последнем так же отображаются посты пользователя.
Конечно есть куча недороботок, и на данный момент я бы не стал пользоваться на постоянной основе, но начало уже положено!
