Prose seems to have a 20 user limit for self-hosted instances though.

This is some marketing nonsense. If you log into your own xmpp server there is no limit.

@thisismissem Could be. But I'd also expect URLs like this for Ghost Authors to be resolvable in AP Clients and/or Mastodon. https://blog.identity.foundation/author/dif/

is https://ghost.org on #ActivityPub yet? 😅

Seriously I've been hearing about #Ghost supporting ActivityPub for awhile now.

Or, even though ActivityPub does not in general require WebFinger, is Ghost on WebFinger?

Please reply with a URL hosted by Ghost that is retrievable using ActivityPub and/or resolvable in Mastodon. 🙏

AFAICT none of the URLs on Ghost are retrievable as ActivityPub Objects.

(I want to be wrong!)

Mainly these two:

https://github.com/processone/fluux-messenger https://github.com/prose-im/prose-app-web

both also have non-web apps and generally work with self-hosted xmpp servers. But due to various factors I would not recommend them right now. But they are worth a try.

And https://movim.eu/ is also evolving into more of an Discord alternative, but not as suitable for a “company chat”.

@Profpatsch @Edent I see this is now merged, has it now been tested against how these new unicode actors will federate across to mastodon and other platforms that don't allow unicode usernames? cc @north

@liaizon @Edent @north It completely fails with mastodon unfortunately, we hope we can create some pressure for then to implement sane internationalization of usernames :)

@liaizon @Edent @north But yeah, it’s exceptionally silly to be a project with an aspiration for international communities, and then not allow people to sign up in their native e.g. Amharic or Han scripts

Sorry was a day today.

The web is more tumblr inspired, but the mobile app has a different design and you may enjoy that one instead.

The app is made by a different person with different design ideas!

@jaredwhite Yes, I think that's the big question, whether the larger Atmosphere will survive Bluesky's inevitable enshittification. A year ago, I would've said, probably not.

Today, I don't know. Maybe?

@coreysnipes @_elena

@jaredwhite

Well there are the people working at Bluesky the company (doesn't seem to be my crowd either) and then there's the development community trying to make the Atmosphere independent from them.

Not super familiar with the second group, other than folks I already know from here, but I do give them some benefit of doubt.

I mean, some of them are doing some interesting stuff, and again, trying to create independence from Bluesky the company. And that's quite commendable.

Yeah, I'd prefer to see them put in the effort here, but fediverse development is arguably more challenging, and with a smaller and less diverse userbase, probably less rewarding.

@coreysnipes @_elena

@coreysnipes I do like that there is interest in implementing some of the better ideas here, things like portable identity, or at least better migration.

But we all know here there is just not enough funding for all the work that's needed.

Yes, Bluesky/Atmosphere is heavily subsidized right, but still, there is a ton of momentum and excitement around it.

There are people putting in the effort to make the ecosystem more decentralized, many don't like how much control Bluesky the company has.

And they might just very well succeed.

@jaredwhite @_elena

@christin that is even more impressive. I’ll look forward to exploring this more!
