Dear @p
@alex

What do you think of letting #Rebased #Pleroma become an OAuth2 authentication provider for other websites for people who don't own the instance and want to make a bot for example. It's a pain to get the id and secret for a utility like an RSS bot so that it can post.

A user posted this idea on my Reddit:
"Neither Pleroma nor Rebased offer an app creation interface. In Mastodon users can create apps in the settings. But Pleroma & Rebased users can't. Only admins can create a new app via terminal. Really annoying. Most of us are tech users and need this app development feature for client to server apps, e.g for making bots. How they don't add such a basic interface allowing to create new apps? Interesting. Here's a related issue. This is why I still have to use Mastodon."

the person in your subreddit is lying
@pAlso, if you know how how to code well enough to create an app, surely you can use curl against the API to obtain an oauth app. Soapbox itself is an oauth app.
Thank you sincerely @Alex @alex

Do you know if we can use the column notation on the scopes input like read:bookmarks or Pleroma isn’t that specific?

And do you know a solution to the problem that Soapbox (Rebased’s UI) hides some of the features from Pleroma in the user panel? For example, is there a way to access Pleroma settings panel which is available for users and unauthenticated users on the home page?

And here is one another issue. Rebased Soapbox also provides a messages feature but it only works (or implemented in) Pleroma instances. If you send a message to a user from a Mastodon instance, you will see that it sent without any error but actually it won’t be understood by the Mastodon instance thus will be omitted. And you’ll ask yourself that why that people didn’t answer your question.

Thanks again
@grafWe can tell which users support chats and which don’t. The search feature doesn’t filter them I suppose, just a bug.
