I'm prototyping a fediverse sharing button. Anyone interested in giving it a try?

Feature highlights:

- shows a logo of supported fediverse software
- lets you share selected text
- remembers the last fediverse domain used

Demo: fediverse-share-button.stefanb
Download: github.com/stefanbohacek/fediv

@stefan not just the fediverse but I really want a :mastodon: share button across the websites and popular platforms like we have for Twitter, Facebook, Reddit etc

(it's a shame YouTube dot com still doesn't have it)

The adoption will come after the intrigue and familiarising it via a share icon will be of great service.

@stefan the same bookmarklet code you use for Diaspora should work for Friendica too. https://wiki.friendi.ca/ressources?s[]=share

The official Mastodon Android app now has QR codes for sharing profiles.

@stefan does the android recognise a QR Code when receiving an image?

Alright, what is the #fediverse?

So apparently the term "patch" in software development comes from punch cards.

"Small corrections to the programmed sequence could be done by patching over portions of the paper tape and re-punching the holes in that section."

@stefan I wasn't aware of that! Fun fact for anyone that's interested: Punch cards were actually called such because, due to limited computing power of the time, programmers that wrote incorrect or buggy code would be beaten up by all the other developers in their department.
True story.

@stefan I only used punch tape once, on a PDP8. It was painful.

Anyone interested in helping me test a tool I'm working on?

Right now it can tell you how many of your images are missing alt text. Some ideas I am playing with:

- check for image descriptions that are too long or too short (Whatever that means! And what about non-English text?)
- check if you CapitalizeYourHashtags properly

@stefan testing... loading posts, can take a while (5060)

Jeff Sikes

@stefan Looks good. 91% for me. Noticed a couple of things. Some of the images without alt text were from private messages with individuals I knew would not need alt text. Exclude private messages?

The other was videos... some of the third party apps don’t allow captions for videos. Will open an issue with them because it is supported by the api!

Brendan Jones

@stefan I will note that capitalising your hashtags properly is kneecapped by this github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

@stefan It's happened to me numerous times. I would probably just find another instance.

DELETED

@stefan real talk if :babaTootsite: went down though, it really wouldn't be the same platform anymore. I'd at least have a good cry about that before setting up a social inbox or something on my website.

mercurial idiot

@stefan I have another instance in mind already! Sometimes wonder if fosstodon.org fits my interests fully, but I'm a sentimental freak who can't leave my posts behind.

Do you want to add a "log in with your fediverse account" functionality to your site? I am working on a self-hosted node.js server that lets you do just that.

Care to give it a try?

github.com/stefanbohacek/auth-

You can see it working on:

- data.stefanbohacek.dev/project
- curator-and-the-machine.glitch

Stefan Bohacek

This project is still work in progress and currently supports:

- Mastodon
- Friendica
- Pleroma/Akkoma
- Misskey/Calckey

@stefan Cool project, there is a official Login Oauth2 Mastodon button?

Stefan Bohacek

A very cool project by Chris Whong that shows you how far you can get in 40 minutes from each subway station in NYC.

Chris was inspired by another cool site, this one shows you how far you can you go by train in Europe in 8 hours.

Are you making apps and browser extensions for Mastodon?

Here's a few tools and notes that will help you extend your project into the wider fediverse.

@stefan

Great project!
I do have an account, but i haven't really used GitHub before.
I'd do finnish.

Forth Computer

I think that the deepl api does a great and free job of translating content.

@stefan

Stefan Bohacek

jointhefediverse.net is now available in Arabic, French, Russian, and Slovak.

Huge thanks to @tarek, @cybeardjm, and @sarahquartz! πŸ‘πŸŽ‰

My data visualization project that lets you explore your connections across the fediverse now supports:

Huge thanks to everyone who helped me test the project!

Stefan Bohacek

I made a small update so that top servers now show the percentage of connections on them.

I'm curious, how many of your connections are on the server with most connections?

D3

@stefan if one would think about translating jointhefediverse-net (because it's really neat πŸ‘Œ), how would we best proceed? Should I just fork and translate the views, or are you planing to ingrate translations into your project?

MetalSnake

@stefan How can I use my mastodon account in lemmy or kbin?

Stefan Bohacek

Are you still on the same server you signed up for when you joined the fediverse?

@stefan Before I launched toot.garden 6 months ago the server I was on for about a year vanished, I hadn't even realized it till I tried to log in. I can't remember the URL now since I just started fresh.

[FWGS]DjBRINE1 :verified_think: :tiasmile:

@stefan I have this specific account for five years already, and i'm very grateful for our admin for keeping the server alive.
I do explore other fediverse software sometimes, and i have a bunch of accounts on other servers, but this is my first, and so far main account

Tired Bunny :bunhdcomfysleep:
@stefan I voted Yes, despite it is not actually, since it is not my first server, but I count it as one since it is the one, thanks to which I decided to stay on Fediverse
