@ivan@bonfire.cafe @spark464 thank you! 🙏

Found something interesting about Circles. At first, I thought it was just a fancy word for private lists of people around a specific topic, just like Mastodon. For example, I have a "Can't Miss" list in Mastodon.

In Bonfire, Circles can be set as Private (like Mastodon lists), Local or Public permission. When public, any non-authenticated user can see your circle and related feed, and the member list. They can't follow them all in one swipe, but they can follow each individually.

@spark464 @admin @box464@mastodon.social @ivan@bonfire.cafe @mayel@bonfire.cafe I think there may be a bug with usernames that start with an underscore... otherwise I can't explain the strange behavior (re: my Mastodon username)

@spark464 @admin thanks for checking!

@ele @admin IceShrimp.NET, SNAC and Hollo did not find it. IceShrimp.JS did tho.

@ele @admin @box464@mastodon.social @ivan@bonfire.cafe @mayel@bonfire.cafe I did get a notification on mastodon.social for this. And a notification icon on Bonfire as well for spark.

I've noticed that as well when I edit posts. The Bonfire Edit dialog isn't quite right. I usually just delete it and start over.

@spark464 @admin @box464@mastodon.social another FASCINATING experiment: if I hover with my mouse over the Fediverse profiles I tagged, I get a "mailto" code over my Mastodon and Sharkey profiles. The Mastodon one has the weird dash inserted... and your Mastodon profile seems to work ok (it's even included in the reply to my previous post, unlike my Mastodon and Sharkey profiles).

I'll add screenshots to this comment.

not sure what's the best way to report this bug to @ivan@bonfire.cafe and @mayel@bonfire.cafe ?

@spark464 @admin I did an additional test yesterday including my Mastodon @_elena@mastodon.social Sharkey @elena@calckey.world and Wordpress accounts @ele@elenarossini.com and the fascinating thing is that the only notification I got was from Wordpress! Mind = blown.

I tried to edit the post and the markup language was so strange... I noticed how a "/" was inserted between "@" and "__" in my Mastodon username to turn it into a hyperlink. There was also "mailto" code there. No wonder the notification didn't work.

I ended up deleting the post because it was bugging me that I couldn't properly edit it.

I wonder what's your experience with notifications on other platforms? Like, are you getting anything if I tag @box464@mastodon.social ?

@ele @admin Oh so local notifications work but not federated ones! Interesting.

@admin BTW if I copy the post's URL and paste it in the Friendica search box, I can see it. Ditto for GoToSocial

Update (maybe interesting for @admin): I didn't get any notifications regarding the mention on my other accounts. Not surprising for Lemmy and Pixelfed, but I should have received something on GoToSocial and Friendica. I made sure to set the post's visibility to "Public." Hmmm 🤔

Testing how notifications show up on my different accounts (across various fedi software).

Pinging @elena@aseachange.com @elena@lemmy.world @ele@elenarossini.fr @ele@photos.elenarossini.com

(please don't judge me for all the accounts I have - 19 in total TBH) 🙈

This post should be editable by the local users @Laurens @deadsuperhero and @ele

It is marked as Public, but with edit permissions given to the Circle "Bonfire Explorers"

Please fix this horrible poetry.

The fediverse booms

The fediverse blooms

Each petal unique

So go take a peek!

@ele here: just writing to say - yay I can edit the post - but I enjoy this poetry, no tweaks needed :)

@mayel@bonfire.cafe should posts with boundary custom and only a circle set to 'read' be send to different servers?

im trying to get it to work, but a post with that setting doesnt show up on another mastodon server, trying to figure out if thats intentional

test tist tost

@spark464

thanks for the invite!

Sent out a few Bonfire invites for people to check it out. It's been running smoothly for awhile now, I have nightly backups happening, feeling good about the base setup.

A few issues with federation, but I'm checking those out.

A red cardinal out on a show today right beside our table at lunch.

Some of the other options that were considered. Exciting stuff!

A little known fact - I created the Ice Cubes notification sound on a Sunday morning in my pajamas. Using my iPhone, I recorded ice hitting various types of glasses until I found the perfect tone. I then used Audacity to clean it up.
