Call for Proposals: Fediverse Multimedia Grants
Today, with the help of our partner the Interledger Foundation, we are announcing a new program of grants for multimedia software and creators. In this program, we are asking software developers and publishers to partner to make new and better content on the…

Multimedia - that is a word I haven’t heard since the 90s.
What’s next, Netscape Navigator support? :)
@julian I struggled a lot to get it to work. It has been working on the last several mastodon versions that https://gardenstate.social has been on. I'll add it to the list of things to look in to. the code is here: https://github.com/stefanhayden/tvmarks
@stefan There are some pitfalls in FEP-044f, one of which is that you need a third server to test the quote authorization because Mastodon is very generous (I hesitate to say neglectful) checking the authorization on the server that's doing the quoting. I suspect if it receives an Accept, it doesn't validate the authorization object at all. Quotes that look valid only on the quoting and the quoted server but nowhere else are a pretty common failure pattern. Best of luck!

PieFed 1.8 is released - multi-image posts, reposter filter, new admin tools
Gallery posts, which is an image post with multiple images in it, compatible with Mastodon and Pixelfed. Check out this example from Mastodon.
“Reposters” as a separate thing from “Bots” with the same Show and Hide options for filtering that bots have. Reposters are more targeted, with higher quality content than true bots and often have a human operator writing comments. However many people find this inauthentic so now they can be filtered out. More details
/c/microblogs can show posts from people you’re following OR all posts.
Recent hashtags shown on the home page sidebar.
Support for receiving posts with jpegxl images.
Communities can have a default hashtag for new posts - posters can edit or remove it if they want.
For admins:
Option to manually approve posts by new accounts, to cut down on spam while having open registrations (no approval on the new account). This will let people dip their toes in without waiting.
Easily contact other instance admins, see /admin/instances
Vote manipulation detection tools for simple sockpuppets and complex coordinated voting networks. See /admin/voting
Serial downvoter report showing who made lots of downvotes against a single person in a short time.
Other bot detection tools - e.g. easily spot unnatural runs of very quick post creation.
Display list of alts on user profiles to more easily investigate activity by alts.
Filter emoji with keywords rather than importing absolutely everything - this will speed up the emoji reaction dialog.
Identify instances likely to be used by spammers in future. See /admin/instances?filter=liability
Microblog posts with no replies can be automatically deleted - set the MICROBLOG_CONTENT_RETENTION environment variable to how many months you want to keep them for.
To upgrade from 1.7.x
git pull
git checkout v1.8.x
Then,
./deploy.sh or ./deploy-docker.sh

Coming soon: social web domain customisation

Ghost now supports custom domains for social web handles!
You might've noticed my username previously was @john@john.onolan.org - but now it's just @john@onolan.org
(drop the 'john' - it's cleaner, etc)
Find it under Preferences → Social web handle
Our check out the docs, here:

It’s perfectly ok to post on X or Instagram or Reddit or anywhere else, in addition to the social web.
It’s not a zero sum game, and it’s very healthy to participate in multiple communities.
Things improve by building bridges, not walls.

@pixelfed Wow, the new Pixelfed app (v2.0) is incredibly fast now. 🚀 Everything feels smooth.
The improvements — including on the backend — are clearly noticeable. Great job!
I wish there were a landscape mode for the feed with a two-column (smartphone) or multi-column (tablet) layout. But maybe that’ll come at some point. 😉

RE: https://tv.stefanhayden.com/show/1121
Cowboy Bebop ends strong but take so many wrong and weird turns along the way I would never recommend this show to anyone. So many shows are better then this one. I'm sure when it came out the high points were higher then any other anime but that isn't true today.
@stefan Hey, did you add the FEP-044f quote post support to that site? I think in https://github.com/stefanhayden/tvmarks/blob/722439ad08c2a4453b4767c8a55afd643ee42408/src/routes/activitypub/user.ts#L219 you might have interactingObject and interactionTarget the wrong way around compared to https://fediverse.codeberg.page/fep/fep/044f/#QuoteAuthorization
Also, this quote points to https://tv.stefanhayden.com/u/watching/quoteAuth/7cfa552879763563ed12ffaa0bcc0685?remote=https%3A%2F%2Fgardenstate.social%2Fusers%2Fstefan%2Fstatuses%2F117402280647858820 which is missing interactingObject altogether even though it's mandatory.
I ask because the quote isn't working on my server. I'm guessing it only works on your own because it receives the Accept directly.

The free speech-loving Trump Administration just pressured Europeans to back out of a civil society conference on disinformation because they didn’t like that there was a panel critical of the United States.

i'm upset at the notes app im currently using and need to see if i can adapt moving fully to obsidian before the next yearly charge
i already use obsidian for more thought-out notes, but not so much for daily use, so im hoping i can just extend my usage instead of finding a new app altogether
@BrotoSolar@app.wafrn.net @kett@app.wafrn.net
the syncing in obsidian is a big rabbit hole.
I ended going with using a self hosted thing in my server that holds and sync all my notes to other places so its no longer desktop <-> phone but desktop <-> server <-> phone
