Frage: Warum wird in Friendica ein weitergesagter Beitrag von einen anderen Friendica Account anders als ein weitergesagter Beitrag von einen anderen via ActivityPub verbundenen Account behandelt?


Wenn ich einen Beitrag von einen Friendica Account normal weitersage, also nicht zitiere, sieht das so aus:

Wenn ich hingegen einen Beitrag der via ActivityPub kommt weitersage sieht das so aus:

Hat es einen Hintergrund das das so unterschiedlich gehandhabt wird? Die Variante mit dem weitergesagten Beitrag von einen Friendica Account sieht eher wie das Zitieren aus, dass man bei einen Diaspora Account hat.

#metadata

Actually I thought that friendica strips by default all metadata when pictures are uploaded, something that #Diaspora* (apparently) does. I guess that's where my assumption came from. Has their been any discussion and/or decision on that?
Is here some addon that provides this?

I checked this because I'm diving into #exiftool and it's nice to be able to print copyright (CC-SA-NC), or things like "Artist", "Description or "Comment" to pictures and videos.

What I did find was in settings the opt-in option to publicly display the location metadata of pictures, yet what really would be neat is to be able differenciate these things. In other words, to strip the location data but retain other data like specifically added data.

As example two images I uploaded with similar metadata, one on diaspora:
pod.geraspora.de/uploads/image…
(this was actually a .png so diaspora changed the container)
and the friendica upload:
tupambae.org/photo/71953797316…

To see in linux (debian) what metadata shows up:
apt-get install exiftool

To display the metadata:
exiftool -v filename.png
The -v in the command is optional and means "verbose", that means it displays more data than a simple:
exiftool filename.png


!Friendica Support recently my friends' #diaspora posts that include only images are showing as with no content in my network feed. Whats' up with that?


Mainstream social media and messaging apps (#Facebook, #WhatsApp, #Instagram etc) are a nightmare for our personal data and freedoms.

We have #FreeSoftware replacements for most of these services but maintaining these services has recurring cost and effort.

diasp.in is a community project supported by volunteers. We offer #diaspora, #matrix and #xmpp services.

If we don't find enough volunteers by October 31st, we will be forced to shut it down.

Please volunteer at diasp.in/volunteer


!Friendica Support If I quote-share a post coming from #Tumblr or #Diaspora on Friendica, I learnt that some platforms (Mastodon, Misskey, ...) aren't able to display this as expected. In Friendica, I see a preview image of the post, which is what I would expect:

Looking at this from Mastodon, it looks slightly less usable but at least there's still something:

On Misskey, as has been reported (can't reproduce as I don't have or want an account there), it seems the post is empty.

Hubzilla is where it looks best:


This is kind of a mess. It seems similar for Diaspoar posts. What can be done, or who's responsible to handle that right, from a standards perspective? Is there any way to be reasonably sure posts look at least usable on all federated platforms?

@Michael Vogel ok, danke. Dann erstelle ich am besten noch ein Testforum, das ich dann mit meinen Testaccounts von Hubzilla & Calckey aus testen kann 😁
Und wie sieht es mit #Diaspora aus?


There are a bunch of other social apps, but to be honest #Mastodon for me seems to be the most polished & has the most users (so it's the most social).

If you can think of a good reason to check out the others please let me know why 🙂

Some aren't just microblogging, but do other things too.

These are the other apps available:
#Diaspora #Pleroma #Friendica #GnuSocial #HubZilla #Misskey


Dazu auch noch mal die Beobachtung zum #Reshare: Habe heute einen Beitrag reshared von einer Friendica-Benutzerin, die selbst scheinbar einen Beitrag von #Mastodon per #QuoteShare geteilt hat.

Mein Reshare von #Friendica ist nicht in #Diaspora sichtbar.
Es ist kompliziert...
