The only large mainstream competitor, which would probably benefit from github’s troubles: “We saw github breaking itself regularly because of it’s own slop coding AND flooded with trash vibe coded projects and thought - that’s where we wanna be!”

Yeah I mean you come here to promote your app and don’t even write your comments using your own fingers and we won’t hear from you again after this thread because you never intended to really be a part of the community - just get some app ideas from us.

It’s just take take take.

No wonder people react badly.

It’s a bot

This addresses some really difficult and long-standing problems and I really look forward to seeing the result.

I’ve had my eye on FIRES for some time and this funding will take it from fringe niche thing to the big time.

Lol

Would you agree that a post written by a LLM is “low effort”?

Hosting a fediverse instance is at the higher end of the scale when it comes to hosting. There tend to be a lot of moving parts as it’s complex software.

Host a static site first, just a bunch of plain HTML files.

Then host a Wordpress site.

Then host a fediverse thing.

Yes although what tends to happen is the capitalists just take MIT licenced code and make bank off it.

This is all moot now that LLMs can launder the code anyway.

Only if you use GPL, not MIT.

I have this printed out and stuck to the fridge

The PieFed web UI has a daily limit you can set, btw. Doesn’t work with apps but you can uninstall all the apps and use PieFed as a pwa which is very app-y.

I guess if it were effective then Google wouldn’t provide it.

There is an app called App Block which is a bit more hard to get around.

Perhaps the key is finding things to do that are better. Volunteer work, study, get a dog, etc

In the settings, isn’t there a “digital wellbeing and parental controls” area? I’m pretty sure that’s a stock Android thing.

Make sure the ram is upgradable. A lot of them are soldered on these days and you’re stuck with that amount forever.

!general@activitypub.space, that one. Yep.

There is a convention of putting a FEDERATION.md file in the root of your project (there is a FEP about it but I can’t remember what it is, heh) which lists the FEPs your project implements.

e.g. https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/FEDERATION.md

There is no standardised API endpoint for discovering this info so basically you just need to lurk in all the dev spaces you can and watch what they’re talking about, stalk each other’s codeberg/github issue queues and PRs and just cope with the jank.

Yes theoretically you could have any type in there but votes are the biggest inefficiency in the system so I’ve only implemented it for them.

There are some nodebb forums that federate with us, which are intended for AP dev discussions - !technical-discussion@activitypub.space for example. Not very active. Also some Matrix channels, again not exactly humming. Everyone is pretty focused on their own projects, really.

There is a discussion but it’s an email chain between myself, Lemmy, Mbin, NodeBB so not really out in the open.

I’m thinking of using the normal OrderedCollection structure that AP has - https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-orderedcollection. An object of type ‘OrderedCollection’ with an array of ‘items’.

You’re right, to be more similar to the ActivityPub style of doing things the object should be a “type” of “Collection”, not just suddenly be an array instead of an object. I will migrate PieFed over to that instead.

That sounds pretty fun, I like your extremist take on things.

If you want to federate votes in an efficient way, consider doing them in batches, like this - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/fep-4248.md. Sending batches means building up a queue, etc which is a pain in the ass so you might want to just receive batches and send individually.

You can do nested comments more efficiently by doing a single query for all the comments on a post and then constructing the comment tree in Go, rather than using multiple SQL queries. It’s a bit tricky to code but you can copy PieFed’s code - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/commit/68d6799be5c321f9abf84d136cafef6de6e3aafb/app/post/util.py#L141
