Still in development, but got #ActivityPub replies working! Once it goes live, replies from the fediverse will show up on Remark.as.
Last major issue is to add some basic moderation. Already got instance-level blocking done so I can easily defederate from bad servers, but want to make sure we can handle any potential abuse from individual users too.
If I could ride the train around the country all the time I'd probably get a lot more work done (or not — I can stare out the window for hours).
Somewhere in North Dakota, heading to Seattle.
Twitter didn't upgrade to their own paid API tier, and now all shortlinks and photos won't load lol.
The toots have been restored to their rightful place on #WritingExchange.
For other #MastoAdmin, some custom CSS: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/20751#issuecomment-1315329065
24 hours later and we're close to 1,000 active users! I've noticed the server is getting a little slow, so I'm going to close registrations and slow the tide for now.
At this point, if you know other writers who want to join us, send them an invite!
To do that, go to your Settings and click "Invite people" in the left-side navigation (or go here: https://writing.exchange/invites). Then you can generate a link to share via DM, tweet, etc.
Even more new Writing.Exchange users today! Welcome, everyone!
I'm thinking we'll leave registrations open until we get closer to 1,000 active users.
