Hi !

Welcome to our monthly thread ! I hope you are well :)

Here we will talk about feature, ui, concept accross the web and app as :
- voting for a new mods team
- nomadic identity
- collaborative writting with color
- a beautiful ui, Swiping gesture…
- accessibility idea…
- a personal project ?

Well, i hope we will find something fun to discuss and share. :)

Btw, about being easily accessible, fedia.io and friendica.social both are private instances, and for a time thebrainbin.org was too, but neither entered a whitelist-type of defederation and so communities and users from all 3 could still be followed from elsewhere. In a similar sense, misskey.io only accepts registrations over non-proxy/VPN Japanese IPs, and feddit.it only accepts registrations if the user can speak Italian and knows of Italian news, and yet both can be followed externally just fine.

The two concepts I appreciate most are:

• Slashdot-Style Nuanced Voting
  
• Discourse Trust Level Systems

Hi,

I want to suggest a concept to solve the issue losing our data when an instance shut down. Maybe it already exist.

Problem

When an instance shutdown, you have no way to recovert your account and export your blocklist, subcription…It is too late and lost. You have to start it again, who prepared a backup ? Almost no one because its design was flawed.

Idea

The only solution would be nomadic identity.

I think we, the fediverse, can create a sync app on our computer. Here is the concept :

• flatpak for linux distro agnostic
  
• fediapp agnostic. we want to support every free software fedi app.
  

We install it on our computer. Then click on a plus button to add our fedi accounts.

It will ask for 2-3 fields :

• username
  
• password
  
• generated-token (not sure if it is useful, security ?)
  

Then it will sync on our local computer : blocklist, followers, subscription, setting… maybe encrypted for increased security

Later, we can imagine other features as :

• master account
  
• merging blocklist, subcription between selected account
  
• exporting posts, comments…
  
• managing account settings
  
• mobile app
  
• support of apple and windows
  

What do you think ? Can we achieve that ?

Very cool ! Thank for your reply. :)

I’m looking for a tool that do that automatically since i’m not well versed in scripts but i can achieve that with lot hardship.

I believe lot users not well versed in software, script would benefit from it and it will increase their trust to the fediverse if they have a tool that help them.

Is it easy to achieve that for every fediverse software ? Or we will have to do a script for every software ? :)

I am working on this. I have a local post archive that syncs with bluesky accounts. I am using DIDs as the primary identifier, and hope to incorporate activitypub and rss soon under the same identifier. I have also created a social graph importer for walled garden sites, such as facebook/instagram, so folks have an escape hatch for all their legacy social media history, and a way to manage exported files in a nice file browser format. I will have something to share in the near future, but suffice it to say, I think storing your data locally is an idea very worth pursuing.

1. the link in the post still sends to private zulip, instead of the .social one
   
2. where’s the .ics thingy? There was one last time

Hi ! I hope you are well ! Here is our weekly thread 😎

The fediverse is big ! Let’s share our small gold nugget found in the fediverse. :)

It could be :
- A new peertube channel
- An interesting mastodon account to follow
- Your new community ! Yes ! Why not ?
- An cool gallery of picture from pixelfed
- A playlist from funkwhale
- A text that moved you

Let’s dig together ! 😁

If you have Android, how do you configure it to open mastodon links in your client?
