A symbol for the fediverse ⁂ in c/fediverse
[–] andypiper 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I wrote about this on my blog. I like the notion and points made here, but I also think we're not helping by re-inventing things that already exist, so I'm torn on it. I have been happy with the existing one.

The beta for the next major Mastodon release is now available for testing.

GoToSocial is a new ActivityPub social network server for the Fediverse in c/fediverse

"new" == ~3 years old (but looking to move from alpha to beta in 2024 IIRC). It's a good server!

Mastodon forms new U.S. non-profit in c/mastodon
[–] andypiper 2 points 7 months ago

That's not what the story is here - this is an additional fund raising entity to support the independence of the platform. The post is very clear that Mastodon (the project) remains a European organisation

However, it’s also important for us that Mastodon is one of the few, if not the only social media platform that operates out of the EU, and we would like to keep it that way.

Made a polargraph with leftover parts from a Prusa i3 MK3.9 upgrade in c/3dprinting
[–] andypiper 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Way cooler than the one I built a few months ago, but I didn't reuse parts of a Prusa! 😮

Sounds like a plan.

Mastodon 4.2 released, with (opt-in) search, and UX improvements in c/fediverse
[–] andypiper 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think forcing all posts to be opted-in to the search, and depending on users to opt-out, would be far more controversial? Either way, the user does get to control this within the platform.

There's also a really nice deep dive into the updates here.

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

I wrote a blog post about using Postmarks and contributing to the project https://andypiper.co.uk/2023/09/11/bookmarks-in-the-fediverse/

At the moment it is explicitly designed as a single-user implementation, although I'm sure it could be pivoted to become multiuser. I've simply set up my own on Glitch and it is working great! -> https://pipesmarks.glitch.me/

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

I'd love to have TOTP support, any plan to move up to 0.18?

Improving Mastodon developer documentation (dev.to)
submitted 2 years ago by andypiper to c/mastodon
0 comments fedilink
 

I’ve been working with the Mastodon project on developer relations, and started out by updating the list of known API libraries. I’d love to know what the developer community wants and needs and how I can best support them.

Note: my scope is the Mastodon API and materials around it, rather than Mastodon itself as an end-user product.

Any views on the Construct-3D printers? (construct-3d.com)

I saw this company at the TCT 3Sixty trade show at the NEC in Birmingham, UK last week - but did not get a chance to talk to them directly. I’ve since not really been able to find any reviews or write-ups of the machines. It looks like it came out of a Kickstarter last year? Does anyone have any real world usage to point me to?
