I have stickers (and was sharing them at FOSDEM) but I haven't put them online anywhere yet, I need to get on that! Thanks for liking it!

well, except that is not actually federated yet.

 

I posted a (made later) recording of my talk from the Social Web After Hours event at FOSDEM 2025, for those unable to attend.

yes, although they are not all available yet. Here is the link to the videos from the room that hosted the Social Web track. https://video.fosdem.org/2025/ud2208/

There was a good talk about this at FOSDEM at the weekend!

If the user didn't make their posts as discoverable, then no, they will not be returned in a search. The search is opt-in. It is not ideal, but it is a way to respect user privacy. I was making the point that search exists now, even if it had previously been rejected as a feature to implement, so it is not impossible for folks to change their opinions on including features.

I do not think that is a factual representation of the team dynamics, but of course, you are free to choose that interpretation.

quote posts are being implemented.

I don't know, I was not involved if that was said at some time, but now, we have search, so I don't know what to tell you.

won’t implement it.

"not sure downvotes make sense" -> it might not be a good fit for what the app is -> so maybe it would not make sense to implement.

I should be able to search for a keyword or URL on all instances

We're working on this. It's part of Fediscovery. Optional opt-in discovery across instances, if a user wants their content to be discoverable across instances.

Search exists. I'm not sure downvotes make sense in the context of a microblogging app, but YMMV. There's a lot of things to work on, for sure.

The 501(c)(3) is a fundraising entity, and will continue to exist. There will be a new independent European non-profit that will "own" (for the want of a better word) the other entities. Legal structures and things are not my forte (IANAL), that's my understanding of what is happening in so far as I'm involved in the discussions and what I'm able to tell you.

Hey all - Johannes Ernst and I are going to get the Fedidevs meetups going again, starting next Thursday March 7.

Main topic: FediTest early show-and-tell and ask for feedback. More details: https://fedidevs.org/notes/2024-03-07/

Have topics for future meetups? Bring them on!

 

Lots of small improvements across the user experience, and opt-in search, make this an important release.

Printed an 8 year old hacked Kinect 3D scan of myself, now I finally have a printer to do it!

 

I assume the community is using the Open Source Hardware Logo as it looks technical?
