I am really new here but if it adds to anything I fully agree with any direction that will or reasonably should, lead to everyone here having a better space.

Also want to add that I do appreciate the effort that the mods/admins are putting into it.

Not entirely sure on what is the oversight.

I've been reading for AP these days so it's out of my understanding so far.. I might be wrong.

So from my understanding, the owner is the one that is responsible for holding the master copy. Given that the community is a owned by beehaw, all other places except LW that actually accepted the message(s) shouldn't see it.

Otherwise LW would have to ask beehaw every time if the message should be accepted, which would be very problematic and not close to federation but more like replication ("every server using activity pub is an active relay").

Imagine sending an email and your server not accepting until it receives a positive answer from the recipients server that your mail was accepted. You wouldn't see your email at the sent folder up until 4 days. You wouldn't even know if you actually sent the message after you click the send button.

Also excuse my lengthy post, I think it's because understanding AP is recent for me.

If anyone that has a better understanding than me, please feel free to correct me

yea my bad, it looks open source :D

So as I understand from your post here, every piece of software is responsible to define its relationship with a different kind of software while all use ActivityPub underneath?

I have been reading on the ActivityPub protocol and trying to understand these days.

Its early still. I guess some patience and effort is needed! The journey is home. :)

Hades was really good. Also Bastion from the same developers.

Isn't that a (implementation) detail beyond the point of uselessness though? The big point for me is there. To keep it with the metaphor, that tree is also quite a complex structure, yet still useless.

Any personal favourites that are not so linear that you would like to suggest?

Then maybe I got confused sorry. Somebody mentioned it and then the post was saying it's a service I thought it wasn't open. Will check it properly later. Shouldn't have spoke so quickly I guess

That's a very inspiring idea. Thanks for that!

It's the ActivityPub API (client to server) where clients supposed to interface with so that you could have one client, for all fedi. But turns out server implementations (Lemmy, mastodon etc) find it not so well designed or performant or adequate (or idk what else) so instead they implement their own client APIs, effectively making clients being specific to the server rather than interoperable (one client that could understand all servers). It's reasonable though, it's just .. I thought... that this was already done and established.. but well..

I believe thunderbird has support for Gemini but I haven't tried that out yet, might be wrong.

Could this be of any help ? https://www.firsttimersonly.com/

Personally I was wondering the same too, so I thought to focus on libraries/projects that I already like or find the codebase exciting in some way. Haven't done any major contribution though, with the little time I have available. So.. i dont know if that is good advice or not, just something that makes sense to me.

I've been working on a small TUI framework and sound was something I was wondering if possible to be done. My code is in PHP though not Rust. So this might give me some insight on how capturing works (I have no idea how sound works) but what I wanted to create is the capability (more or less) that for example TIC-80 provides where you have input from sound and make graphics respond to it (see Lovebyte jam sessions on youtube for example).

I really like the detail on the non filled ones where the last one on top might not always be a full one.

I thought the ActivityPub IS that open standard

Oh, I see what you mean now. I think I was looking at it from a more technical perspective. One could say that essentially LW is phishing the beehaw communities right now :D

Unique as in, only one left?

Friendica, I believe, federates their groups. You can see them from mastodon as a user. I guess in AP vocabulary they are an actor. You can post to the group from mastodon too.

However let me just bring into mind that we recently defederated from some Lemmy instances and for which reasons we did that (as beehaw I mean).

This looks pretty cool to me. Well done :)

However it does not look like it is open source.

This captures exactly my inner feeling regarding the fact that no fedi servers implement the C2S api .. (I just realised)

But really, this is very well done, thanks for sharing
