I thought Punycode was only for domain names. Are you saying you also use it for the user part?
Just had to add a workaround to #Fedify for http://joinmastodon.org/ns, a JSON-LD context URL that has never actually served a JSON-LD document. Mastodon has always inlined the term definitions, but some implementations put it as a bare URL in their @context, so Fedify’s JSON-LD processor tries to fetch it and gets a 404 Not Found. Now Fedify ships a bundled copy of a context that never existed in the first place.

@hongminhee Can Fedify process this post?
Is it? I’m on a Lemmy instance and I use Voyager as my daily drive, so I’m pretty behind on Piefed. But that does sound like a good idea.
I made it into a feed. Users can make feeds on piefed and combine communities together.

#PawFed is not limited to reports about animals found or in distress. You can use it to offer help or ask for it.
Use #offer when you provide help, #request when you need it, #info to share useful information.
Everything works through #ActivityPub. If you delete your original post mentioning @PawFed, the related report is automatically removed from the map. No database ghost. You stay in control of your data. (1/3)
Okay I’ll give it a look thanks
I used to not like JSON-LD. And then I got exposed to CBOR. And, since then, I ended up liking JSON-LD more than I did before.

...
I was looking for performant ways of storing JSON-LD data, so that it can be looked up, queried, etc.
CBOR might actually be a way of doing that.
...
For me that is an odd realization given me liking JSON-LD is a reaction to CBOR.

it doesn’t look like it’s federated.. let alone linked to mastodon?
I searched for nodebb.. it is just forum hosting?
After Madblog, how many of you would like #ActivityPub and #Indieweb support to come to GPSTracker too?
This is an idea that I’ve been flirting with for a while.
Like many Millennials, 10-15 years ago I was into the Foursquare-mania. It was the age where pubs would offer discount to their Foursquare mayor and where people used to share their Foursquare stats and compete on how many badges they had collected.
Then Foursquare decided to pivot its platform towards the business-side instead, the check-in app was spun off into Swarm, it gradually lost users but it gained trackers, and by now I think only 1-2 of my contacts (out of >100 in the golden age) still use it.
By now I don’t think anyone has filled that gap; there isn’t any social media built around networks that share and recommend their check-ins.
#GPSTracker already supports a lot of tracking, timeline and check-in features, synchronization of geo events with mobile devices, and even stats with arbitrary aggregations (by country, time range, city, region etc.). Plus some features that Foursquare never implemented (like searching for checkins on the timeline by simply selecting an area on the map).
#Microformats already support location tags through the h-adr class, although they are rarely used. Both #Webmentions and ActivityPub could send check-in activities as permalinks to pages with those tags. And the #OpenStreetMap APIs could do the heavylifting of retrieving POIs in in a certain lat/long box.
The only hurdle would be implementing the protocols under the hood, as both the Webmentions and Pubby libraries are in #Python while #GPSTracker is in #Typescript. But it could be a good chance to start writing multi-language bindings for those libraries.
Let me know if it’s something that you would use, or even self-host, and if you know if there’s anything in the Fediverse that already fills this niche.
@julian @evan If I provided them, I would probably implement https://github.com/mastodon/fediverse_auxiliary_service_provider_specifications/blob/main/discovery/trends/v0.1/trends.md but haven't done so yet. Is that suitable for you? If so, I should do it soon.
