I've just published version 2.88 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

If disable_emojireact is set to true in server.json, EmojiReacts (incoming and outgoing) are totally disabled.

New command-line option top_ten, that returns the top ten most popular posts by a user (ordered by the sum of likes and boosts) (contributed by aov).

Added a new set of per-user muted words; if a post contains any of them, it's hidden behind a dropdown (contributed by byte).

If an account has a metadata named pronouns, it's shown by the name (contributed by violette).

Mastodon API: children of a post are returned recursively, not just the first level (contributed by violette).

Implemented optional metadata stripping for images and videos using external tools (contributed by Stefano Marinelli).

Threaded applications often have the need to move and remove content between groups/communities for curation purposes (i.e. resolving miscategorization, spam, etc.)

This is an extension of the Resolvable Contexts tree of FEPs.

The FEP draft has been submitted for review. In the meantime, it can be viewed here: https://github.com/julianlam/feps/blob/fep-f15d/fep/f15d/fep-f15d.md

Does anyone here know of a running Bonfire instance that has federation actually activated?

I want to try different platforms see if any other Activity Pub implementation makes better use of the actual protocol.

Already tried Sharkey, Pixelfed, Hubzilla, Friendica, GoToSocial and Akkoma.

#OpenScience and the #fediverse .. let's get that ball rolling 💪

@jfietkau @jonny and @bonfire opened a brainstorm and evaluation on how we can provide better support for the academic world and #science in general to the #ActivityPub-based fediverse.

Various different iniitiatives are underway, and there's great opportunity to bundle forces and align these efforts where possible. Set standards.

ChatGPT mostly reflects what's already out there, the internet, Reddit, different communities.
Which means chatting with it is a bit like chatting with what the world currently thinks, bias and vice, trolls included, but also real discussions.

So, I asked it about the Fediverse. I would say that it sounds not too "wrong".

What's your take?

This is the convo:

#fediverse #mastodon #activitypub

EU is calling for comments on open source strategies. MAKE YOURSELF HEARD!

Even non-EU citizens have a voice here.

NOW is a time to stand up and stand out! YOU want to help the Fediverse? Here's just one way today that YOU can REALLY make a difference:

The European Open Digital Ecosystem Strategy will set out:

• a strategic approach to the open source sector in the EU that addresses the importance of open source as a crucial contribution to EU technological sovereignty, security and competitiveness
• a strategic and operational framework to strengthen the use, development and reuse of open digital assets within the Commission, building on the results achieved under the 2020-2023 Commission Open Source Software Strategy.

Any resources on how to make an #ActivityPub application? There's the specification, which is certainly informative, but are there things like templates, tutorials...?

Mastodon/Fediverse:

How long does it “typically” take for a server to refresh something like a link preview? I changed the featured image on my website, but it’s been days and it still comes up as my old one on here. Is any aspect of that due to my local cache, or is it all server side? Speak to me the way you would a fourth grader.

The preview should be a dark graphic with my name, not a portrait of me.

So what’s the ActivityPub version of Pinterest? Looks like it will be in demand soon.
