A UX improvement to @Mastodon that might increase usage of Content Warnings; stop counting the text in them against the 500 char limit. Give them their own separate (shorter) limit, maybe 200 characters or less? Something to consult on with people who think it's useful to write long Content Warnings.

Help! I've been thinking so much about decentralized platforms and open protocols lately that my brain has become completely decentralized itself. 🙃
Time to go touch some grass.

@stura_halle @studentin

top #Danke! Leider kann ich den Account @studentin dem Startpaket nicht hinzufügen, er wird von https://fedidevs.com/ nicht gefunden.

Vielleicht, weil es ein förderiertes #WordPress ist? Könnt ihr dazu etwas sagen: @fedidevs / @fosstodon ?

Auf jeden Fall wäre es cool, wenn in mehr öffentlichen Räumen "Folgt mir/uns im Fediverse"-Sticker zu sehen wären! #RealLifeSichtbarkeit

I know there is some ongoing work, eg. https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-07d7-a-custom-url-scheme-and-web-based-protocol-handlers-for-linking-to-activitypub-resources/3588.

Some people will argue against this, but the Atmosphere is (slowly) decentralizing (https://stefanbohacek.online/@stefan/116126040489956521) and it will soon run into the same issues we're dealing with, like being asked to log in when you click a link to a post that's not on your server/AppView/what have you.

I'm sure they will figure this out, with their deep crypto VC money pockets, but if we can figure this out first, it could really give us a major advantage.

FEP-07d7: A Custom URL Scheme and Web-Based Protocol Handlers for Linking to ActivityPub Resources

Hello! This is a discussion thread for the proposed FEP-07d7: A Custom URL Scheme and Web-Based Protocol Handlers for Linking to ActivityPub Resources. Please use this thread to discuss the proposed FEP and any potential problems or improvements that can be addressed. Summary This specification addresses sometimes difficult interactions with ActivityPub resources hosted on remote servers. It defines a custom URL scheme which can be used by custom web-based protocol handlers to route hyperli...

I am outputting ActivityPub/ActivityStreams content for the listing of what is in a directory.

Think of it as the AP/AS version of output from the `ls` command.

AP/AS has a whole bunch of stuff that can be used to represents files. Even sub-types of files

And, while AP/AS has 'Collection' (and 'CollectionPage') —

AP/AS doesn't have a 'Directory' type (as a sub-type of 'Collection')

Gibt es denn Empfehlungen für #Starterpakete im #FediDevs für das Bundesland #Thüringen

Oder sollte man eines mal anlegen?

@mthie
Du meinst das GotoSocial mit gleicher API? Es ergibt keinen Sinn, dass das nicht funktioniert.

Dazu muss ich dann doch noch etwas anderes loswerden, weil hier ja ein paar engagierte Leute im Thread mitlesen.

StarterPacks funktionieren nur mit Mastodon-Accounts. Obwohl alle #Fediverse -Systeme (okay, bis auf Diaspora) wie beispielsweise GotoSocial, Friendica und Hubzilla, #ActivityPub sprechen, sind StarterPacks ausschließlich für Mastodon entwickelt worden. Das kann man als Mastodon-Funktion natürlich gerne bauen. Aber der Anspruch des Domainnamens #FediDevs führt dann in die Irre. Das ist keine Fediverse-übergreifende Funktion.

Und diese Vereinnahmung des Fediverse-Begriffs stößt dann natürlich in verschiedensten Fediverse-Ecken auf Verwunderung – mindestens.

Any fediverse developers with too much free time on their hands interested in helping me figure out why, when logging in with a Friendica account, I get an "Unprocessable Entity" error?
