Hi there @islieb? !
This is a post actually directed in part to the @Friendica Support forum page of our free open source software community. I guess you heard the term #friendica already, as you are quite a while in the fedi, beginning with your #diaspora presence a long time ago. Our main coder @Michael Vogel is a fan of yours (if I got that right). I asked him the other day in a FOSDEM element chat, if he considers it possible that you make some drawings for friendica, maybe even for every new version, we have like two o three releases every year.

The idea came up because on this server we decided to use the following comic on the login/welcome page:

Than we came up with this variation for the text as you can see:

It seemed to me that Michael liked the idea to have some drawing by you, so I don't want to let the idea slip away and ask you, as well as the community, what everyone thinks about such an option. There are also the 403, 404, 500 and so on error pages. Well maybe those are more a task for @isfies!, who knows ..

Sumasumarum, any ideas, comments or questions about this proposal @all ?

Siori e siore: ecco a voi il #PORACCIVERSO! Ecco l'operazione necromante per #Diaspora: pochi, soli ma defederati da #Threads 🤣

Udite, udite, oh! Rustici Attenti, non fiatate. Io già suppongo e imagino. Che al par di me sappiate. Ch'io son social discreto, più brutto che obsoleto...

PER CHI AVESSE DUBBI, NO! NON L'HO FATTO IO PER TROLLARVI. È PROPRIO CHE LA GENTE NON STA BENE 😷🤯😷

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

Weiß das W3C davon?

Und ich dachte, #Diaspora unterstützt überhaupt kein #ActivityPub!?!

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?

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...
