Or, at least, a redirection

Redirection to friendi.ca if it isn’t too late.

@Andy H3 This looks very nice.

@Michael Vogel A themed server for peasants? Why not.

@Andy H3
Yes the page is already running on my server.

@Michael Vogel One with only duepuntozero theme enabled, no add-ons and only DFRN protocol support to match the features of the original Mistpark software? 😜

I think you need to dig out the Lazoo (was it spelled this way?) theme. A retro server :) though I would let the "modern" features active.

@Tobias
I just had a look at the old Mistpark repo. The theme names were... special. "goldenrod", "shady". But I couldn't find anything like "Lazoo".

Hmm. This could be a nice background image.

Oh, I didn’t realize you got it, I thought you noticed it had been bought by someone else.

In this case, I have even less cool ideas for it. I’m not really interested in what came before since it can’t really be ran on its own as a federated social network software anymore.

No, if it could I’d have suggested it! However Mistpark is immutable as the name describes a branch of computer software until it got renamed.

Hasn’t all of that being already done (or in progress) in Friendica since it’s its direct successor?

Yeah, from what I know of the Friendica history it’s still the same project as Mistpark, just with a new name, contributors, an additional supported protocol, tests! etc...

I can only trust you on that, I didn’t experience it, and it is unlikely I would have enjoyed it. Most of Friendica’s appeal for me is the frio theme!

@Steffen K9 🐰 ah you are right, there is a working repo :) Loozah was the default theme.

Special? perfect for a retro node :D

Mainly that it’s PHP code I can understand, improve (and gripe about). I’ve looked into Pixelfed code based on the Laravel framework and it’s alien to me. On the other hand Friendica gives me a familiar sense of obsoleteness.

Current? Not even close! I’m usually joking that I specialize in bringing 10 years old code to 5 years old standards and this project doesn’t escape the trope.
