Fedilab's wall

We have planned a full review to support #Pixelfed as much as possible.
The idea is to support Pixelfed as a separated software like we already do for #Peertube.
This means to support all dedicated features with a dedicated layout.

I missed your peetube app. Is it out for Android?

We are currently blocked by Google for submitting new releases.
They asked videos showing why we need the permission "background services".
Videos are done and will be submitted tomorrow.
This feature is mainly used when posting because it needs to support the thread submission that can embed several media.
The other use case is for fetching the Home timeline.
That's why we have to postpone 3.28.1.
Sorry for that

Tomorrow, we will publish 3.28.1 for Fdroid users.
For Google users, we don't know how long the verification will take.

We added pronouns support in #Fedilab.
It will be displayed for three different purposes.

1 - In timelines next to the display name
2 - When replying to an account (above the first reply)
3 - When mentioning accounts with the auto-complete feature.

It works for accounts that use a field named "pronouns".
We might expand to other words or translations.

Somehow, loading posts above my current position in TL is not working anymore. I need to scroll down again afterwards.
Is someone else experiencing this problem?

Extra-features (disabled by default) is somewhat confusing in #Fedilab.
This option allows to enable features that #Mastodon doesn't support (quotes, reactions, submit messages in a specific format, etc.)
But softwares like #Pleroma, #Akkoma, #GlitchSocial, #FireFish don't support (currently) same features.

We plan to use #NodeInfo to automatically enable features depending on the user's instance (ie: software).

@apps Some servers add a list of supported features to NodeInfo metadata object (e.g. Pleroma). It would be cool to have a standard for those.

Nodeinfo is not any more useful than /api/vX/instance information (version string, pleroma.metadata.features…) for feature gating

#Nodeinfo has proven invaluable to me and also many of the public Fediverse databases, for example, with things like:

* The particular MRF settings implemented for a particular instance
* Fingerprinting exactly which platform and version is being examined
* How many local users have accounts on the instance
* Average number of posts in various different perspectives - total, per user, this period, Etc.
* Whether or not the instance is operated by Good, sharing Fedizens or people that choose not to disclose.

A #FEP for this can go a long way toward stabilizing this defacto standard as dejure.

#Fedilab's commitment to support the most popular #Fediverse platforms such as #Pleroma, #Soapbox, #Akkoma, #Misskey, #Firefish, #Mitra, #Pixelfed, #Solo, #Peertube, and other, unnofficially supported platforms like #Takahe is commendable, and Nodeinfo is a great way to enter into the foray of deterministically providing the users with that support.

It also encourages instance operators to make this information public - as it should be in almost all cases.

We will implement reactions for #Firefish and #GlitchSocial. Maybe one day #Mastodon will implement them too (outside announcements).

It's rare, but if it does happen it seems to correlate with scrolling in just the same instant as fetching new posts completes. It's really hard to be sure of this, though, as it's not reliably reproducible - I might well be seeing ghosts here.

I don't know if you consider it listing my position, but sometimes when I open the app back up (I think after it got evicted from memory), the position will be one toot older than when I left the app. This seems to only happen when I was caught up to the latest when I left the app. (Maybe the most recent isn't marked until after the top of the toot has scrolled onto the screen, but that isn't possible for the toot at the top of the list )

#Fedilab allows you to use public API from other instances to get all information when visiting a profile or viewing a thread.

From a profile you will get all messages, following and followers.

From a thread you will get all replies and the ability to see all accounts that boosted / added to favourites.

As soon as you interact with a message or an account, the app will do everything in background so your instance is aware of that. It is fully transparent for you.
