Based on our decision in the last #SocialCG meeting, I set up a new GitHub repository for the #ActivityPub HTML Discovery Task Force.

I added what I think are some of the most important tasks and user stories. I hope others contribute, too!

@grunfink I submitted a PR to update MacPorts' snac to 2.57 here:
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/25258
GitHub Actions CI went OK!
I don't have commit access, so it's up to someone else to merge it.
Thank you for continuing to improve and iterate snac!
#snac #MacPorts #OpenSource #ActivityPub #Mastodon #NoDatabaseNeeded #NoJavaScript #NoCookiesEither #NotMuchBullShit #snacAnnounces
Added support for listening on UNIX-like sockets.
Don't allow empty polls.
Added support for Markdown-style images (converted to attachments) and strikethrough text.
Added support for incoming Move
messages: when received, the new account is followed and the old one is unfollowed.
Incoming EmojiReact
messages are internally converted to Like
(more proper support will happen eventually).
Blocks are also notified.
Mastodon API: fixed a cache bug when following local users.

This is a milestone worth celebrating!
In development as we speak, @forgejo can now federate comments (and tons of other stuff) from issues in repos!!!
The first screenshot is @algernon (a Forgejo account able to be tagged in this post!) commenting on the issue: https://shoes.forgejo.madhouse-project.org/algernon/federation-test/issues/4 as seen in @phanpy while logged into my Mastodon account!

#WeekInFediverse #Fediverse #ActivityPub
Previous edition: https://mitra.social/objects/0190f14b-a6ea-81cc-c715-78f423020ed9
Question for #ActivityPub implementors: has there been any research on how to best handle deletions (accounts and/or posts)?
At the moment, the best (and only?) way to know that an account deletion has been federated everywhere is to notify any known inbox / instance, for every account deletion.
This is very wasteful and not efficient, are there any alternatives? Has anyone worked on this?
Support for custom Emojis has been added; they are no longer hardcoded, but read from the emojis.json
file at the server base directory. Also, they are no longer limited to string substitutions, but images as external URLs are also supported (see snac(8)
for more information).
Fixed a bug that caused some notifications to be lost when coming from a user in the same instance.
Added an additional check for blocked instances (sometimes, posts from blocked sites that were ancestors of legit posts were 'leaking' into the timeline).
On OpenBSD, if the disable_email_notifications
server flag is set to true
, unveil()
is not called for the execution of the /usr/sbin/sendmail
binary and pledge()
doesn't set the exec
promise.

This release has been inspired by the album Eternal Embers by #Meltt.
Incoming posts can now be filtered out by content using regular expressions on a server level (these regexes are written in the filter_reject.txt
file at the server base directory; see snac(5)
and snac(8)
).
Improved page position after hitting the Hide
or MUTE
buttons (for most cases).
Use a shorter maximum conversation thread level (also, this maximum value is now configurable at compilation level with the MAX_CONVERSATION_LEVELS
define).
Fixed a bug where editing a post made the attached media or video to be lost.
The way of refreshing remote actor data has been improved.
Posting from the command-line now allows attachments.
Added defines for time to enable MacOS builds (contributed by andypiper).

This release has been inspired by the song The Raven by #CarolineLavelle.
Speaking of ActivityPub, anyone have some concise and simple breakdown documentation links handy? There’s kind of an overwhelming amount or information out there.
