Esiste un modo per parlare di Fediverso senza far esplodere i testicoli dei nostri interlocutori? Beh, noi ci abbiamo provato…
En vrai je ne sais pas.
Il y a peu d'instances gnusocial.
Celle-ci est administrée par une personne d'Amérique du sud mais il est possible que le serveur soit loué en Allemagne.
C'est juste un logiciel de #microblogging différent de mastodon, misskey ou pleroma, mais utilisant le protocole #activityPub, que n'utilise pas #Diaspora*
The Podcast Index has an ActivityPub implementation, and now I can follow some of my more irreverent non-techie podcasts directly on the fediverse. So cool! Hopefully they'll add a Follow button soon...but in the meantime:
1) Find your podcast on the site
2) Grab the numeric value at the end of the url
3) Search for the podcast with this name `{numericValue}@ap.podcastindex.org`
Podcastindex.org
The Podcast Index is here to preserve, protect and extend the open, independent podcasting ecosystem.podcastindex.org
Don't be too hasty! That would be unfair. Let's see how well it integrates first. ☝️😌
#activitypub #threads #meta 🤢 #fediverse
My tiny #ActivityPub server is now a massive... 64KB.
Yup. Kilobytes.
* It can send posts with attached images & alt text.
* Reply to posts with a proper thread.
* Read replies sent to it.
* Follow #Fediverse accounts and see their posts & edits.
* You can follow it.
* Hell, it even does HTTP Message Signature Verification!
All of this in a single PHP file. No database, no Docker, no dependencies, no AI.
You can grab the code at https://gitlab.com/edent/activitypub-single-php-file/

Since we integrated with ActivityPub at the end of last year, Minds has added 32,000+ new users to the network via federation, from 2,200+ different ActivityPub networks.
With our new Networks product (https://minds.com/about/networks), anyone can launch their own network in a matter of minutes. These networks can federate with Minds and the rest of ActivityPub too. Your data, your community, your rules.

@raroun Nein, nicht abstrus, sonderen dem Zweck angepasste Plattform auswählen.
#Friendica ist Micro- und Macroblogging
#Pixelfed ist fürs Teilen von Bildern.
Dea ist eben das #Fediverse. Es gibt nicht die ein und alle Plattform für ein und alles. Sondern es gibt verschiedene Dienste - sie sind alle über #ActivityPub verbunden.
✅ My #ActivityPub post has location metadata in it!
👀 The post has been federated to Mastodon & PixelFed!
❌ The embedded geotag isn't shown in either of them (Mastodon doesn't support it, PixelFed doesn't show it for non-native posts).
Next step, find a SIMPLE ActivityPub server (preferably in PHP) which I can use to build this service.
Also that #activitypub supports unlimited number options but Mastodon server limits to 4 because the developers feels like?
Also that Friendica doesn't handle polls (but at least display them)?

Frage | Wenn ich einen fremden Kommentar bei einen meiner Beiträge lösche, wird das dann auch auf via ActivityPub verbundenen Server gelöscht oder nur bei mir?
Hintergrund ist das eben jemand meinte das das dann eben anscheinend nur bei mir gelöscht würde, was in meinen Augen recht sinnfrei wäre.

THe one thing I realized while attending #ActivityPub University is the fragile balance between "marketing" aka shitposting your project and actually coding
anyone can write a line of code, but would anyone care unless they know about it?
so my advice is to shitpost and then build an #activitypub platform (it worked for pixelfed, that shit didn't federate for months lol)
#WordPress #ActivityPub #Debugging #Help!
At https://tepewu.pl/@community sits my new Wordpress with full complement of #AP plugins: ActivityPub official from Automattic, Webfinger, nodeinfo and even Friends.
My Friendica gladly added it to my contacts and even retrieved site logo. And that's it. Nothing shows in my Friendica feed, I am not visible on the followers list there.
Before I start nagging the support, perhaps someone had this drill already?
Looks like the #threadiverse has been widely used by the #Lemmy and #Kbin communities for years, but now it's slowly being co-opted (including by #Meta staff) to refer to the #federation of #Threads.
I predict a complete takeover of the #hashtag, and term in general, before the end of 2024.

Instead, I now need to teach my JSON parser about how to navigate the object and how to resolve a URI—breaking the abstraction layer—or I need to do some rather clever (clever being used here as a negative epithet) and complicated—to get it to navigate all of these aspects.
Oh, and then I need test cases.
So.
So.
Many test cases.
11/11
You can't even generally generate the code.
If it were consistent:
If next/prev and current/first/last were always URIs
if the information was aways on a page, perhaps if the collection was of type _CollectionPage_ rather than having CollectionPage be of type _Collection_.
If it disallowed Link objects.
Then I could easily build a pagination system around it where:
var page = loads(json)
var next = resolve(page.next)
var items = page.items
and we're done.
10/
Remember we're working in a declarative system, for the most part.
So how do we tell it "sometimes this object may have its items in items, sometimes it may have it in current.items, sometimes it may have it in resolve(current).items, and sometimes it may have it in resolve(current.href).items"?
Oh, items might be a set of objects, a set of URIs, or a set of Links.
None of the major systems are built for this sort of thing, and building in that logic is a _lot_ of work.
9/
So the collection page object can also be… paginated?
It's a B-tree?
Also because OrderedCollection is defined as a type of Collection, you could presumably have your Collection object return OrderedCollectionPages, or even a mix of Collection and OrderedCollectionPages.
Which means you're back to checking for orderedItems after all, even when you think you have a "collection" object, as soon as you deserialize the page.
Back up to the Collection itself.
8/
Or separate classes entirely with different definition mapping to the same values.
Not the end of the world, but a touch annoying, and not something you can do trivially in one throw of the parser. You're adding a fair bit of manual work to do this in each case.
But that current object…
It can be an object or a URI or a Link object. Once I follow it I get a collection page…
But a collection page is also a type of collection.
7/
But that's not what we're focusing on here.
Here instead you need to first check the _items_ to see if it is populated. If it isn't then you need to check the _current page_ and see if this collection is a paged collection.
If items is populated you are done, except wait, in an ordered collection it can be orderedItems
This means that, instead of having OrderedCollection be a subtype of Collection (OrderedCollection <: Collection), in most of these tools it needs a oneof
6/
So first of all, the Collection itself is completely untyped. I can't hand a collection to you and expect you to know what's inside of it.
What can be inside are any mixture of:
* URI references
* Objects, which can be heterogeneous
* Link objects
So we're probably extracting it into a List<Object> in our first pass, though some modern serializers know how to work around this, self-describing types are relatively rare and mostly these sorts of tools prefer a little more.
5/
Instead, I want to ask the following question:
Given a typical JSON parser in most mainstream language, where we construct the representation of the object declaratively (throw a dart: Jackson, Gson, Yojson, literally anything based on JSON Schema or OpenAPI, etc), how much work should be expected in order to extract the items from the (potentially paginated) collection and put them in whatever the local equivalent of a List or a Set is?
4/
OrderedCollection is similar, but because "items" is defined as being "unordered" in the JSON-LD @'context they need to override that with a different name. So they introduce orderedItems and put an index on the page (which I have opinions about, but that's a story for another time).
We've already gone into how we have problems with the fact that next and prev can be objects, Link objects (which are different), or URIs. That isn't what I want to focus on here.
3/
In addition to all of the properties on Object (why does my collection have a physical location?), Collection has the following five fields:
totalItems | current | first | last | items
current, first, and last are generally supposed to refer to collection pages.
Collection pages are a type of Collection that also have the following fields:
partOf | next | prev
2/
Another example of how the flexibility in #ActivityPub is so high it makes it hard to work with: parser edition. Again, this is me thinking out loud while I figure out how to solve problems in my own project.
For this, we'll look at Collection and OrderedCollection.
Collection is an object to wrap, as one might expect, collections of objects.
It's designed to allow paging through collections, which is a hard problem in and of itself, using a forward and backwards cursor.
