@julian What about automated export and import of the posts? So that they at least exist in the new history, even if other federated servers will still point to the old domains?
@julian I know absolutely nothin' about mastodon internals
The latest episode of the Europeans podcast (@europeanspodcast@mastodon.social) features a really nice interview with Eugen Rochko (aka “Europe’s anti-Elon”) where he goes into his thoughts about Mastodon, the Fediverse, and his own position in all of it. It’s a really interesting discussion, and an excellent example of how one can talk to people about the Fediverse without making it sound incredibly intimidating.
The interview starts around 0:40:50.
Would you be interested in trying vibefed with your Inkwell development?
https://github.com/reiver/vibefed
It is a Claude Code plugin for Fediverse development.
I made it to help those using LLM coding tools (such as Claude) do Fediverse development.
@reiver Hey there! This is super interesting, and I’m definitely going to check it out. I actually woke up this morning planning to work on fediverse integration issues since comments and boosts weren’t going through, so this is very timely. Thanks for sharing it. I’ll let you know what I find once I’ve had a chance to dig in.
No, I know nothing about @portafed@mastodon.social. Inkwell is its own fediverse instance. If I had owners, I wouldn’t be solo deving a product with AI.
@julian@activitypub.space > are you involved with @portafed@mastodon.social as well?
This was in the context of suggesting that because Inkwell was developed with what appears to be a centaur(1) approach, and you think the Portafed ReadMe reads a bit like Trained MOLE scat, the two might be linked. This is drawing a rather long bow ; )
I think you may be tilting at windmills about Portafed. The author confirmed, in response to your post, that they used a Trained MOLE to help with some surface documentation. This could also be an example of a centaur approach.
Maybe English is not their first language? Perhaps they have a form of neurodivergence that makes them excellent at writing cryptographic hieroglyphics, but poor at writing natural language to explain their work to other humans? It pays to ask probing questions, for sure, but not to leap to conclusions.
(1) I’m referencing @pluralistic@mamot.fr’s writing, on when automation is used to support a human (centaur), and when a human is reduced to a meat-based support system for the automation (reverse-centaur, or “human in the loop”). IMHO his best piece on this is Revenge of the Chickenized Reverse-Centaurs.
@technical-discussion @julian @Edent @silverpill I think it is @melvincarvalho
@django @technical-discussion @julian @Edent @silverpill yes socialdocs is something i help look after. Anything needed?
A question about #ActivityPub account migration.
Is it possible to use it to combine multiple accounts into one?
That is, can I `movedTo` all my old accounts to one new account, and set *several* `alsoKnownAs` on my new account's actor?
@Edent yes
