I can't believe I finally shipped federated stories!!! So happy right now 😁

Clay

@dansup Sounds interesting. Where can I find info about what a "Federated Story" is?

dansup

Now on to groups, live streaming and the mobile app 😅 #pixeldev

Julian

@dansup
What do you mean with live streaming?

John Weeks :mastodon:

@dansup so many people live on mobile, can't wait to see the app

René Henrich

@dansup Can’t wait for the pixelfed app! That’s probably gonna give pixelfed a huge boost. Let me know when the beta starts.

Edward 86’

@dansup Same to you. ☕️ It is a late morning coffee on my end.

dansup

Just finished implementing the last bit of federation logic for stories! Will ship later today.

Stories will only be delivered to other :pixelfed: instances for now. #pixelfed #stories

dansup

In addition, we're using bearcaps and a limited time window for fetching the activity object. Story media urls will be rotated after the window closes.

dansup

Really excited for the Desktop Compose UI!

Had a blast building it, I hope people find it easier to use! #pixelfed #composeUI

~lohn

@dansup Me too! Can't wait to see it official so I can reactivate my old self-hosted instance. There is no beta testing?

@dansup

Could you please fix the compose error which doesn’t let compose this is my site
spacemag.xyz

I cannot afford my friends to visit the site cause compose doesn’t work literally the drop down list which appears when entering a users name doesn’t work at all

Why aren’t you aware of this and why aren’t you bothered at all?

While composing is an essential feature

dansup

Think I might spin up a new pixelfed instance on activitypub.social to host a group or two. Registration would be closed, but that shouldn't be a problem 😉 #groups #activitypub #fediverse @activitypub

dansup

@activitypub or maybe activitypub.network, not sure which domain to use. Finally will get some use out of some of these domains 😅

derFlo

@dansup @activitypub is there an update on how to help out with the pixelfed Android App?

dansup

Debating wether to add "system stories" that highlight new features in :pixelfed:. They would be included in migrations, so instance admins wouldn't have to create each one. Wdyt? #pixeldev #stories

Solinvictus :vm:

@dansup Would actually love to see that on :pixelfed:

On Revolut for example you have a story like that at the beginning of next month showcasing what features they introduced in the previous month, it's really cool because some features are not so easy to notice 😀

dansup

Decided to distinguish remote stories using a different colour ring. Wdyt? #pixeldev #stories

dansup

Representing story layers in activitypub is going to be fun 😅

dansup

Added a warning when you view a direct link to a story so you know they will be able to see you viewed it! #pixeldev #stories

Victor von Void

@dansup I haven't seen stories from other people yet, only my own (test-)story. It is indicated by the ring around my profile picture on my profile page.

But where will I see indicators for stories of other people? A ring around the profile pic in the timeline would be pretty small and barely noticeable on a cell phone. Or will there be a stories header in the timeline or something?

dansup

So glad I used polymorphic relations in some places, can add support for new features without expensive database migrations 😎
#pixeldev

dansup

Federated Stories are 95% ready, once I finish the api & user docs I can ship it! 🚀

@dansup So if I eat ~750'000 hot dogs, it'll knock 50 years off my life and I could die tomorrow. The science checks out!

Michael

@dansup I wonder if this was written after a NY "journalist" had a squabble with the guy running his local hot dog cart.

Coralie Mercier

@dansup even I, a very slow eater, don’t require that long to eat a hot dog!

dansup

Added a few moderation tools to Groups in preparation for its release!

Group admins will be able to limit interactions for a period of time without removing members, and more! #pixelfed #groups #moderation

Falko (Buddelflink) 🇺🇦

@dansup what about the existing admin tools? A lot of stuff is not working in the existing features. When will those be fixed? Things like Comments not showing under posts, can't edit posts etc.

Nick Trussell

@dansup
Super excited to test out all of this! Amazing work! Thank you!

dansup

oh how i wish i had a time machine to tell you that you'll have to rewrite the 90~ vue components to react native (for the mobile app) before it ever sees the light of day 😅

dansup

Pixelfed Stories will show you who viewed your story, we generate View activities to federate story views too! #pixelfed #stories

But unlike on Instagram, it's obviously possible to view stories without showing up in that list. The fact that Instagram does it in a compulsory manner has already gotten me into quite some trouble.

@dansup stories always seemed like a weird bolt-on feature on Instagram just to keep up with other social networks.

We don't have to implement every feature to be "good" or a competitive or whatever. We xna do things that make sense to the platform.

dansup

Story reaction/replies are treated as a DM, and notifications are generated!

Niko :verified:

@dansup i have to admit i wasn't this excited for a long time, i'm waiting for a Pixelfed release very hard 😍 Facebook SHOULD be sweating right now

dansup

I've been using snapchat for about a year now (snap score over 10k btw) and it surprised me how many friends use it as their main messaging app.

A federated snapchat that you could host and invite friends, with a good/secure mobile app that is easy to use would be a game changer!

@dansup I'm not a Snapchat user, so maybe someone else can make the comparison: What's missing from #Element (a #Matrix client) to make it comparable to Snapchat?
Matrix protocol is federated, self hosted, E2EE. Is to instant messaging what ActivityPub is to social media.
I realize it may be a tough comparison, the line between messenger and social media is pretty fluid.

Tim Chambers

@dansup Yes, it would. Maybe Signal (although non-Federated) may be close….

hamish campbell

@dansup we kinda need less chat apps OR more support for a #openweb standered like XMPP as currently it's a compleat mess.
