@blag Yeah I think the mechanism is here already, just a matter of presentation. Instead of "following" and seeing posts as combined in the home timeline... we show it as "join" and have a dedicated timeline, where every post / interaction is directed to the group by default without needing to tag it🤔
@ayo I believe kbin's magazines function exactly like this, where each one has it's own separate timeline of microblog posts. Posts can be made directly to a magazine from kbin or collected from elsewhere in the fediverse based on a list of hashtags the magazine's moderator curates.
Social acceptability of psilocybin-assisted therapy for existential distress at the end of life: A population-based survey
Plourde et al., 2024
"The social acceptability of psilocybin-assisted therapy for existential distress at the end of life is rather high in Canada. These findings may contribute to efforts to mobilise resources and improve access to this emerging therapy in palliative and end of life care settings."
Does anyone else think that the Fediverse needs its own URL prefix?
Hear me out. There is a “mailto” prefix standard. Email addresses are identified with such a prefix. Each of my devices is individually configured how to handle it. I’ve configured my mobile device to launch a certain app. My desktop device launches my web browser and goes to a certain site. Email apps and sites know how to set this configuration and will usually prompt you at some point.
We should be able to do the same for Fediverse profiles and posts. If I click on a link to a Fediverse profile or post, the local device will know how to launch an app or browser, and in the browser case, know your “default” Fediverse instance. This can provide the same seamless experience as clicking on an email address. (If a person does not have anything configured it could default to a web browser visiting the profile/post instance just as it works today.)
"We urgently need a solution that gives our government officials the power to reach everyone, and more control over the way they connect with the citizens."
"Despite the hurdles, our migration to Mastodon was more than successful and, in retrospect, the right thing to do. Not everyone, but a few of our loyal customers moved over with us - something I will forever be thankful for. Moreover, people’s reception on Mastodon turned out to be warmer than I anticipated. […] That motivated us to keep going."
So I talked to someone representing the developers of #PeerTube this morning about the mobile app they are working on in 2024.
They asked me a bunch of questions about usability and my expectations and a bunch of other questions.
The one thing that I kept trying to bring to their attention was that building an app that only let's you watch videos and download them was a waste of time if they didn't include something that content creators could find useful.
#WriteFreely ist eine freie, föderierte #Software, die sich einfaches Veröffentlichen von Texten als Ziel gesetzt hat, neudeutsch auch #Blog genannt. Die Entwicklung begann 2014. Wie auch #Mastodon u.a. versteht WriteFreely das Protokoll #ActivityPub. WriteFreely-Instanzen sind demnach Bestandteil des #Fediverse.
Just tipped #IceCubesApp for making my #fediverse experience so much better and smoother. @IceCubesApp thank you for creating and maintaining that amazing #opensource application ☺️
Great to see the ActivtyPub Plugin continue on a fast development timeline:
The WordPress ActivityPub plugin has been updated to version 2.0. The major feature of the release is better comment federation. Comments are now properly threaded, which makes it much easier to follow and understand threads where people are replying to each other. Comments are now also bidirectionally federated. Creator @pfefferleexplains:
“When you respond to comments from the fediverse on your blog, they will now be federated. This allows you to finally engage in (threaded) communication back and forth directly from the comment section of your blog!”
OK, I've got a question for #ActivityPub developers. I'm working on an extended example for the O'Reilly Media book I'm writing, focusing on the federation protocol. I'm going to cover using HTTP Signature, handling and sending the important set of Activity types defined in the AP spec (Follow, Create, Add, ...).
With the news that Meetup.com has been swallowed up by Bending Spoons (with a track record of strip mining good tools to their doom), a #fediverse alternative to explore is Mobilizon @mobilizonhttps://joinmobilizon.org/en/
@andypiper@django@mobilizon I think @linos (?) are working on extending/developing the wordpress activitypub plugin to be able to add events which are comptible with mobilizon etc
Browsing #hashtags is quickly becoming useless. Even important ones for #MastoAdmin like #Fediverse and #Mastodon are filled with toots of random #photos and #art. Some even promoting their #porn or #gamedev#gaming project. Even random #journal or #blog posts FILLED with random irrelevant hashtags. It's quite infuriating...if you know what I mean.🤦♂️😬
