One short question: how to allow instance posts to be quoted in GoToSocial? On the profile or posts setting, on [instance URL] /settings, I don't find the "who can quote" option. Who can reply, who can like, or can boost. But not quote. GoToSocial installed from YunoHost. #activitypub #AskFedi #fediverse #GoToSocial #help

Just an #AskFedi session.

I currently installed my GoToSocial instance on VPS and now I'm conflicted about how to organize the project better.
GoToSocial is needed to interact with Fediverse users, as the other platforms miss some activities.
⁃ WriteFreely: very good, minimal to write, but it has no space for search or comments. It's OK just for the stories.
⁃ WordPress: it has federation through plugin, comments appearing on the site, but not yet usable as a fediverse actor for common interaction, with an ordinary client. Icecubes, Mona, Phanpy, Enafore, Tweesecake, Elk, etc. And "enable mastodon apps" is still buggy.
⁃ As I have contents both in Italian and English, I currently have to choose: do I federate the English and Italian WordPress sites where real world and long-form fictions are published, and have just an unified project's instance on GoToSocial where I personally talk (me and my other co-worker) both in Italian and English? I honestly am very conflicted. #activitypub #gotosocial #WordPress

#SelfHosting Week 4, phase 1.
Let's restart with week 4, as I took several days of PAUSE into my Self Hosting experience.
Today I took the bull by the horns and removed LEMMY as I don't exactly need a Reddit-style format; I just need to interact with my readers through fediverse.
What I did, installing GoToSocial. And the result is I can talk to users through my already owned Fediverse clients! Not to kention the fact I can manage users via command line without much trouble.
Consequence, I now have a fully functional account with my own nickname, my real name, bio, and stuff. Now let's install the Fediverse client. It's really empowering to self-host our own social networking platform.

TAM and OMN tools for potential Bonfire workflows

This article looks at Techno Anarchist and Open Media Network tools that would boost efficiency and productivity in Bonfire workflows. And I will be paraphrasing heavily.

As mentioned in a previous TPF post, I plan to experiment with Bonfire and have taken notes for a series of articles.

This is the second one. The first is here if you inexplicably missed it. 😉

I have even reserved the […]

#owncast is FOSS and awesome. so why did #ATproto people build smoke signals? same reason #bluesky didn't just build off #ActivityPub I assume. something something don't mention VC etc.

Is social media its own thing or is it an attention layer for the open web? Is it mostly about these separate things we call posts, or should every piece of writing or audio or video be able to be boosted itself?

I think that's the divide between #ATproto and #ActivityPub. #bluesky wants to dominate a world of posts like Gmail dominates email etc. Social running on a protocol but one company decides most people's experience. Or should we give the public full control over what media goes viral?

@Castopod

would it be possible for podcasts to be built on #ActivityPub in addition to RSS, and for podcatchers to process it? then each episode would be its own AP item and we could boost them directly, not just link to them. I feel like that would open up a lot of other possibilities too. #podcasting2

@Mastodon

Stop describing the fediverse is Mastodon!

The social platform Fediverse is a collection of volunteer driven knots connected with open source protocols. Protocols are mostly free open source software. Developed by volunteers. Mastodon is one collection of software.

You should promote other software for fediverse also. To keep the idea and the stability of the federated Fediverse.
