Poliverso - notizie dal Fediverso ⁂Si possono portare i gruppi Facebook nel Fediverso? Certamente. Ma come utilizzare le categorie di citiverse.it (ossia <a href="https://poliverso.org/search?tag=NodeBB%29" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeBB)</a> da poliverso.org (ossia <a href="https://poliverso.org/search?tag=Friendica%29" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Friendica)</a>? Ecco una breve guidaCome ormai <a href="https://mastodon.uno/users/lealternative" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@lealternative</a> abbiamo iniziato <a href="https://citiverse.it" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a sperimentare su NodeBB</a> con l’ambizione di creare un’alternativa federata ai gruppi Facebook, soprattutto quelli locali.Per chi lo visita direttamente dal sito, Citiverse è semplicemente un Forum; ma per chi lo usa dal Fediverso, Citiverse è un’istanza qualsiasi, con le “categorie” del Forum che diventano “gruppi Activitypub”, come le comunità Lemmy o i gruppi Friendica.<a href="https://feddit.it/c/fediverso" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@fediverso</a>Così come per gli utenti Lemmy le categorie NodeBB sono indistinguibili dalle comunità Lemmy, anche per un utente Friendica, sono indistinguibili dai gruppi Friendica! Al momento abbiamo creato una settantina di comunità, suddivise per macrocategorie e abbiamo già creato <a href="https://poliversity.it/@macfranc/114935778978663943" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">una guida per gli utenti Mastodon</a> e ovviamente <a href="https://feddit.it/post/20162680" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">una guida per gli utenti Lemmy</a>.Ecco quindi una guida per gli utenti Friendica: volete visualizzare le categorie NodeBB dal vostro account Poliverso? Allora è sufficiente:1) cercare il link della categoria su Citiverse: per esempio <code>https://citiverse.it/category/13/roma</code> o <code>https://citiverse.it/category/31/localhost</code> 2) copiarlo nella casella di ricerca di Friendica (in alto al centro) e premere invio (NB: spesso è sufficiente scrivere l'handle <code>@roma@citiverse.it</code> o <code>@localhost@citiverse.it</code> ma quello del link è il modo più sicuro) 3) a quel punto potremmo cliccare sulla scheda conversazioni<blockquote>NB: alcune potrebbero sembrarvi vuote, perché i messaggi che “contengono” si vedono solo dopo che le avete seguite.</blockquote>Per aprire una comversazione sulle comunità è invece sufficiente menzionare la comunità, per esempio <code>@roma@citiverse.it</code> o <code>@localhost@citiverse.it</code> all'interno del messaggio (possibilmente non nel primo paragrafo del messaggio) e pubblicare, <a href="https://www.informapirata.it/2023/02/28/si-profila-allorizzonte-un-punto-di-contatto-tra-forum-e-social-network/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">come abbiamo scritto qui</a>.Per i più pigri?

julianNodeBB v4.3.0 — Remote Categories are a go! We're happy to announce the release of NodeBB v4.3.0, which contains native support for remote categories, bringing better integration with other NodeBB forums, WordPress, Lemmy, PieFed, mbin, and other "group-based" implementors on the ActivityPub network! What does this mean? :thinking_face: It means that starting with this release, you will be able to "browse" to other categories simply by searching for them in your <code>/world</code> page. Just like with regular categories, you can "track" or "watch" remote categories — the former will show up in your <code>/unread</code> page, and the latter will also send notifications on new topics. Prior to this change, remote categories were rendered just like regular users, and there was some confusion over who was a user and who was a publisher. The integration with blog platforms like WordPress also mean you'll be able to use NodeBB kind of like a feed reader, with built-in notifications when new content is received. We're hoping to also extend this to support Ghost as well :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed: Some examples of categories loaded remotely in this NodeBB: <ul> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/fediverse@piefed.social" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">"Fediverse" on piefed.social (running Piefed)</a> — <code>@fediverse@piefed.social</code></li> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/protocol@socialhub.activitypub.rocks" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">"ActivityPub Protocol" on SocialHub (running Discourse)</a> — <code>@protocol@socialhub.activitypub.rocks</code></li> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/blog@vivaldi.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Vivaldi Browser Blog (running WordPress)</a> — <code>@blog@vivaldi.com</code></li> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/news@community.openbeta.io" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">"General Climbing News" on community.openbeta.io (running NodeBB)</a> — <code>@news@community.openbeta.io</code></li> <li><a href="https://community.nodebb.org/category/fedimemes@feddit.uk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Fediverse memes (running Lemmy)</a> — <code>@fedimemes@feddit.uk</code></li> </ul> Other notable changes in v4.3.0 Chat allow/deny list :left_speech_bubble: There was some desire for more fine-grained support for allow/deny lists for the chat system. This is now available in v4.3.0. Per <a href="https://community.nodebb.org/user/baris" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@baris</a>: <blockquote> Leaving allow list empty would mean anyone who is not in deny list can message you. Leaving deny list empty would mean anyone who is in allow list can message you. If both are empty everyone can message you. Current restrictChat toggle can be turned into a toggle to disable chat completely. Upgrade script can add the users following to the allow list if they have restrictChat turned on. </blockquote> Show number of topic watchers :eyes: You are now able to see the number of users watching a specific topic alongside the existing stats (posts, views, etc.) Accessibility updates <ul> <li>Avatar background colours are now selectable via keyboard navigation</li> <li>Post drafts are now accessible via keyboard navigation</li> </ul> ... and of course <ul> <li>Bug fixes and security updates</li> </ul> <a href="https://community.nodebb.org/post/104357" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://community.nodebb.org/post/104357</a>

julianHello all :smile: Today we're releasing NodeBB v4.2.0. Most of the changes pertain to minor updates to our existing ActivityPub integration. <ul> <li>Categories can now follow regular users <ul> <li>v4 launched with the ability for NodeBB to synchronize categories with other "group" type remote accounts. While it was possible to follow regular users, their content did not properly load into the category. This has now been fixed.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Actual handling (not just pretend ✨) of content from Ghost :ghost:</li> <li>Added button to view original profile of remote users</li> <li>Better handling of content for remote chat messages (non-public notes)</li> <li>Forking and moving posts between topics now announced by the category</li> <li>Separate chat message length cutoff for remote messages</li> <li>Improved link handling on remote content</li> <li>Categories now have a handle in the description; added an additional setting for a remote-only addendum for local categories</li> </ul> The "View Original" button for user profiles is located in the sidebar of any remote user profile:

Chris TrottierOkay, what the hell just caused that big uptick in <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> MAUs?Was it John Oliver? Was it <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>? Was there some drama happening on another platform that resulted in a migration here?Please tell me if you have the answers. RE: <a href="https://atomicpoet.org/objects/4010e7a5-6754-4ae5-9f6e-00cac5aa7a63" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://atomicpoet.org/objects/4010e7a5-6754-4ae5-9f6e-00cac5aa7a63</a>

Chris TrottierGroup actors are essential to the Fediverse. They’re the best way to create a community and have a topical discussion. For example, I might want to talk about PC gaming. Without group actors, I have to hope someone who follows me also likes PC gaming which, considering the demographics of people who tend to follow me, is not so likely. I also like to write about aesthetic things. Which is also an interest of mine that isn’t generally mainstream enough for the Fediverse. And music? People on <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> don’t want to talk about that either. So how to solve this problem? By tagging a group actor on <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/lemmy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/piefed" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Piefed</a>, or <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>. Preferably, one that has to do with the topic you want to discuss. And believe me, this is more effective than hashtags.

Chris TrottierI wanted to see the current status of group actor support in <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>.This feature has been requested all the way back in 2016. It’s a feature request that is so old, it’s the 139th ticket. After it was made, <a class="u-url mention" href="https://mastodon.social/@Gargron" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@gargron</a> stated shortly after:<blockquote>I made a decision not to implement groups. They offer little benefit over a cost of added complexity, and the bangtag syntax personally irks me too.</blockquote>A year later, he re-opened the feature request and said:<blockquote>Reopening, but not high priority.</blockquote>No further update since then. Nearly a decade after this feature had been requested, group support has not been added and it’s still not a high priority. Now the intent of this post isn’t to wag my finger at Mastodon and say, “How dare they!” It’s clear that Mastodon is in a transitional state right now, and their focus is on other things – like quote posts and search. But it is to say that the development of this feature is so completely out of Mastodon’s control that it now represents an opportunity loss for the platform. Because the truth is – whether or not Mastodon supports group actors – many Mastodon users are using it anyway even though this causes quite a few UI/UX problems along the way. Namely, the common Mastodon user cannot differentiate between a single user account and a group actor. So now we have two groups of Mastodon users: those who want to make use of services like <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/lemmy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/piefed" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Piefed</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>, and those who are completely unaware of those services and ask, “Why the hell is Mastodon acting like this when I try to interact with that account?”More to the point, group actors should be embraced because not only is this a valuable feature, but they’re also critical for community safety. No one can moderate a hashtag, but they can certainly moderate a Lemmy community.Like I said, though, development of Mastodon is ongoing – whether Mastodon participates or not. And that specific element of the <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> continues to grow, despite the fact that the most used Fediverse service (sans Threads) regards it as “low priority”. As long as Reddit and Facebook Groups users seek out an open, federated alternative, there will be demand for group actors.Why am I saying all this? Because this is my plea for better interoperability. It is certainly within Mastodon’s right to be picky about what features they implement. However, the Fediverse would be plainly better if Mastodon finally supported this important ActivityPub standard.<a href="https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/139" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/139</a><a class="u-url mention" href="https://piefed.social/c/fediversenews" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@fediversenews</a>

Chris TrottierA nice feature for <a class="u-url mention" href="https://flipboard.social/@surf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@surf</a> would be support for group actors. This would allow people to more easily follow posts from <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/lemmy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/mbin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mbin</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/piefed" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Piefed</a>, and <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>. Groups are also way more deliberately topical than hashtags, which assists greatly with social discovery.

Chris Trottier<a class="u-url mention" href="https://community.nodebb.org/user/julian" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@julian</a> That’s awesome. I don’t have much familiarity with <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>, but I foresee using it some day. I think the use case will be when I create a topical forum that requires sub-topics.

Chris TrottierVery cool! You can use <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a> to post to <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/lemmy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a>. Here’s a demo: <a href="https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/30246381" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/30246381</a>

We DistributeICYMI: We're hosting a <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a> forum now at <a href="http://forum.wedistribute.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">forum.wedistribute.org</a>. It's kind of an experiment for now, as we're playing around with combining a community message board with the wider <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.wedistribute.org/tag/threadiverse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Threadiverse</a>. If this is of interest to you, feel free to sign up and start chatting! It's pretty quiet at the moment.

Chris TrottierMeta has banned mentions of Linux on their platform—despite, you know, Facebook’s product depending on Linux. This is a good time to encourage <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> devs and users to set up communities on <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/nodebb" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NodeBB</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/mbin" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mbin</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/lemmy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/friendica" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Friendica</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/discourse" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Discourse</a>, and <a class="hashtag" href="https://atomicpoet.org/tag/wordpress" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WordPress</a>.
