YouTubeCenter of the UniverseCenter Of The Universe aka Dj Sissyfus is a Norwegian electronic music producer who recently turned his output into a mixture of unique ethno disco & warm synthpop. Live, he presents us with enchanting lyrics, catchy melodies, pinches of acid and clarinette playing. He has been releasing close to 15 albums, performing in numerous live bands and has been running his own label Metronomicon Audio since 2000. Here I mostly post music videoes, live footage and some tutorials and studio experiments.

A single account can have many channels on (streams). This makes learning the platform more complicated but also much more powerful.

I've begun trying to figure things out and I'm making mistakes along the way:

I also figured out (duh!) that I can follow @streams here.

@BotKit by Fedify :botkit: Be aware that quotes and quote-posts are two different things, and both exist in the Fediverse. At least Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte can generate both.

This is a quote, like in every bulletin-board forum out there:

Coming soon in #BotKit 0.2.0: Native #quote post support!


Or this, but it has to be coded manually into the comment's source code:

This is a quote-post a.k.a. shared post a.k.a. quoted share:

BotKit by Fedify :botkit: wrote the following post Mon, 21 Apr 2025 05:51:28 +0200 Coming soon in #BotKit 0.2.0: Native #quote post support!

We're excited to share a preview of the upcoming quoting features in BotKit 0.2.0. This update will make it easier for your bots to engage with quoted content across the fediverse.

The quoting feature set includes:Here's a quick example of how you can use the quote detection:
bot.onQuote = async (session, quote) => {
  // The quote parameter is a Message object representing the post that quoted your bot
  await quote.reply(text`Thanks for quoting my post, ${quote.actor}!`);
  
  // You can access the original quoted message
  const originalPost = quote.quoteTarget;
  console.log(`Original message: ${originalPost?.text}`);
};
And creating quote posts is just as simple:
// Quote in a new post
await session.publish(
  text`I'm quoting this interesting message!`,
  { quoteTarget: someMessage }
);

// Or quote in a reply
await message.reply(
  text`Interesting point! I'm quoting another relevant post here.`,
  { quoteTarget: anotherMessage }
);
Remember that quoting behavior may vary across different #ActivityPub implementations—some platforms like Misskey display quotes prominently, while others like Mastodon might implement them differently.

Want to try these features right now? You can install the development version from JSR:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0-dev.90+d6ab4bdc
We're looking forward to seeing how you use these quoting capabilities in your bots!

#fedidev

Also, Friendica, Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte handle quote-posts a lot differently from Misskey and the Forkeys.

Misskey and the Forkeys do quote-posts like so:

RE: https://hollo.social/@botkit/01965678-eb56-7003-9c91-07e4418bf63a

At least on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, a quote-post starts out like this:

[share⁠=74153074][/share]

Upon sending the post, this piece of BBcode is changed into a full, dumb copy of the original post, led in by a line that says who posted this first, complete with a link to the profile, and that also links to the original. The original poster is being notified about this (unless they chose not to), but if the original post is edited, the edit is not forwarded to quote-posted copies.

@-0--1- @David G. Smith Still, first of all, if I posted an image without an alt-text (which I'd never do), AltBot would have to assume full admin rights over the Hubzilla channel that I'm currently commenting from because that's the only way for another Fediverse actor to alter the source code of my posts.

Altering the source code of the post is necessary because Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte neither have a dedicated alt-text field, nor are images file attachments there. Rather, images are embedded directly into the post, in-line, just the same way blogs handle images. And alt-text has to be woven into the image-embedding code in the post. Thus, the post itself has to be altered.

So, assuming AltBot actually manages to circumvent the two most advanced permissions systems in the Fediverse, it would have to trace back an image that it perceives as a file attachment to where exactly the embedding code for that particular image is in the post.

It would have to be able to both understand and write the specific flavour of BBcode used by Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte.

It would have to, for example, take this piece of code...
[zrl=https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/photos/jupiter_rowland/image/b1e7bf9c-07d8-45b6-90bb-f43e27199295][zmg=800x533]https://hub.netzgemeinde.eu/photo/b1e7bf9c-07d8-45b6-90bb-f43e27199295-2.jpg[/zmg][/zrl]
...and edit it into this.

The camera position is about three metres or ten feet above the ground. The camera is tilted slightly upward and rotated slightly to the left from the building's longitudinal axis. The futuristic building is over 200 metres long, stretching far into the distance, and its front is about 50 metres wide. Its structure is mostly textured to resemble brushed stainless steel, and almost everything in-between is grey tinted glass. The main entrance of the building in the middle of the front has two pairs of glass doors. They are surrounded by a massive complex geometrical structure, very roughly reminiscent of a vintage video game spacecraft with the front facing upward. Four huge cylindrical pillars carry the roof end, the outer two of which extend beyond it. All are tilted away from the landing area in front of the building and at the same time outward to the sides. The sides of the building are slightly tilted themselves. In the distance, a large geodesic dome rises from the building. There is a large circular area in front of the main entrance as well as several wide paths. They have light concrete textures, and they are lined with low walls with almost white concrete textures. Furthermore, various shrubs and trees decorate the scenery.[/zmg][/zrl]

Not to mention that AltBot would require extensive detail niche knowledge about the topic covered by the image to be able to whip up the above alt-text in the first place. (By the way: The alt-text example is genuine. I've actually used it. And it's an extremely whittled-down version of the long image description of the same image in the post itself, a description which has to be the longest in the entire Fediverse.)

Ideally, AltBot would do so without flagging the post as edited.

@𝓐𝓷𝓭𝔂𝓣𝓲𝓮𝓭𝔂𝓮 𓀤 @-0--1- @David G. Smith You mean as in someone else permanently writing an alt-text into the original image?

Good luck wrestling down the permissions system and acquiring permission to remotely alter the original image post if it is from Hubzilla, (streams) or Forte. Not everything in the Fediverse is Mastodon or works like Mastodon.

For today's VOD we're back playing some more Monster Hunter, but not before we start of with a bit of Factorio. We'll see more of these sort of streams come back for a while as we play more multiplayer games, as scheduling with others was a big factor in deciding what to stream on a given day.

I mean, the Fediverse already has Lemmy, KBin, and MBin.

So there's already an ecosystem of pre-built communities out there.

/kbin is dead. Has been since last year. The last instances that haven't moved to Mbin are withering away.

However, in the "Lemmy clone" category, there's also PieFed, and Sublinks is still in development.

Also, the Facebook alternative Friendica ("Facebook alternative" not as in "Facebook clone", but as in "better than Facebook") has had groups since its launch in, 2010, five and a half years before Mastodon. Hubzilla has had groups since 2012 when it still was a Friendica fork named Red. (streams) (2021) and Forte (2024) have groups, too. All four are part of the same software family, created by the same developer. And interacting with their groups from Mastodon is somewhat smoother than interacting with a Lemmy community.

On Friendica, a group is simply another user account, but with different settings: In "Mastodon speak", it automatically boosts any DM sent to it to all its followers. In reality, it's a little more complicated because, unlike Mastodon, Friendica has a concept of threaded conversations. (No, seriously, Mastodon doesn't have it. If you think Mastodon has it, use Friendica for a year or two as your only daily driver, and then think again.)

Likewise, on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte, it's another channel with similar settings.

And we've officially started VODs for 2020! Man it still baffles me how it can both feel like yesterday and at the same time forever ago that we played Monster Hunter World. I remember playing the original on our family PS2 decades ago using PlayStation Online to hunt Lao Shan Lung, to playing MHFU with my brother on our PSPs. The series has come a long way from the days of superman poses and room-based boss fights.

Happy Friday! Today we have the second VOD for our #Kingdom playthroughs. All in all, I prefer Two Crowns, especially after returning to it years later. I wish there was more of an open sandbox version, but I'm assuming you'd just never leave the island, especially once you close the small portals.

Maybe I just like colony builders...

Alright, back on track. Apparently those last two were a bit out of order. No matter, we're back in #StardewValley one more time. Sadly there's a chunk of VODs from here until Christmas of 2019 that I seem to be missing, the next one up will be jumping over to a few new games before returning to some cozy #ModdedMinecraft with a familiar face...

Ok, I know we said we'd start on #ImmersiveEngineering last time but then we got a little sidetracked, ok? Some tornadoes came down and tossed some leaves into the ocean, it was a big deal. We do need to start focusing on progressing our tech, so let's jumps back into our #UnderdogModpack playthrough for some more cozy island living, shall we?
