A UX improvement to @Mastodon that might increase usage of Content Warnings; stop counting the text in them against the 500 char limit. Give them their own separate (shorter) limit, maybe 200 characters or less? Something to consult on with people who think it's useful to write long Content […]
I know there is some ongoing work, eg. socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-07d7-a-custom-url-...
Some people will argue against this, but the Atmosphere is (slowly) decentralizing ( […]
I am outputting ActivityPub/ActivityStreams content for the listing of what is in a directory.
Think of it as the AP/AS version of output from the `ls` command
AP/AS has a whole bunch of stuff that can be used to represents files. Even sub-types of files […]
Any fediverse developers with too much free time on their hands interested in helping me figure out why, when logging in with a Friendica account, I get an "Unprocessable Entity" error?

It would be good to have a UX checklist for new fediverse devs to work though as they implement ActivityPub, and for devs of established apps to check against when doing UX reviews. Things like;
* replies to posts made in other apps federate back to the OP server
* edits to those posts […]
Does anyone think it's worth doing a source code archiving project for fediverse software?
A lot of projects been started and abandoned over the years. Some of it just itch-scratching, abandoned before it really got started. But in some cases, longstanding and widely used projects by fediverse […]
There have been many experiments with adding simple ActivityPub support to static blogs, enabling authors to publish their blog into the fediverse to be followed and get commented on. Some of these experimenters have documented what they did, and I've started a list of examples here […]
The intro to HDA (Hypermedia-Driven Applications) I've been raving about today seems relevant to the ongoing discussions about C2S APIs for the fediverse, especially the proliferation of the monolithic server+web-app antipattern. I've started a SH topic on it […]

My posts on Mastodon say that no one is permitted to quote-boosts my posts — yet I never made that choice.
(I'm actually OK with others quote-boosting my posts.)
I know enough to be aware this.
Most aren't.
A very large number of people have no idea that […]
[Original post on mastodon.social]
In the old blogging software I created back in the 1990s, I had a handful of posts types.
There was a type rich-text oriented post that had a title. (Article)
And, there way another type of rich-text oriented post that did not have a title. (Note)
(There were also other types of posts, but […]
I've seen an ongoing debate between "Note" versus "Article" in ActivityPub / ActivityStreams.
When is something a "Note"‽
When is something an "Article"‽
Personally — I would probably have made the distinction this way.
An "Article" has a title.
A "Note" doesn't have a title.
(In ActivityPub […]
Here's an interesting experiment; an opt-in geographical feed feature. So for example, all the fediverse servers based in Aotearoa could form a geographical federation, and people using any of those servers could opt-in to see a feed of all posts from it.
Then - also opt-in of course - the […]
tomorrow but eh. whatever

I just thought of a way to provide a sort of group experience native to the way @Mastodon and other micro-posting apps work. Most likely this had already been thought of, but I'm going to sketch it out here just in case.

Your Home Feed is the inbox of an ActivityPub actor — in particular YOUR ActivityPub actor.
There could be an actor for each hash-tag, too.
You could even do Del.icio.us like things — and have actors for intersections of hash-tags, too.
These hash-tag actors' inboxes would need to be readable […]
it. may add support for the the new http signature rfc if there's a Reasonable library available
i have a few more things in mind but i need to finish the basics first

The Mastodon team is planning to release a universal "share" button.
(It wasn't clear to me if this was just for Mastodon servers — or if it would work with non-Mastodon servers, too. It was mentioned briefly from the audience.)

How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?
I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.
Anything else?
