@ccamara awesome :) have sent an invite
October 18, 2025 at 6:29 PM
@ccamara that instance is currently invite-only for people who want to be involved in co-designing and testing the tools, if that's you just let us know!

@zackbatist

Fair enough, we're not scientists ourselves, and as mentioned in the blog post we don't claim to have the answers. We've just built some prototypes based in suggestions from a few researchers, and are extending an invitation to join in answering these questions, and in co-designing […]

FYI for all researchers who have an account on the OSN test instance: it has now moved to https://sandbox.openscience.network, with all profiles and data preserved, and the old URLs should still work and be redirected to the new location. We simple didn't want this instance to become synonymous […]

@phillycodehound yeah! the missing piece actually is being able to pin other users circles in your sidebar...
October 8, 2025 at 8:39 PM
@phillycodehound you already can, by clicking on the setting button next the circle header you can specify the circle boundary...you can share it locally (only with same instance users, publicly, or based on cusotm boundaries)

@travisfw that's one part of what we've tried to build
October 8, 2025 at 8:18 PM
@box464 we started drafting a section on "how do boundaries federate" in this document: https://docs.bonfirenetworks.org/boundaries.html

The short story is we interoperate with Mastodon's newly introduced canQuote and and GoToSocial's canReply/canLike/canAnnounce for general boundaries like […]

@ricci@discuss.systems I will echo this same offer for up to two communities! I'll do the install, maintenance, upkeep, and keep the lights on. I have the automation to be able to run any of these:
- Mastodon
- Pixelfed
- GoToSocial
- Sharkey
- Akkoma
- Bonfire

And for that matter if anyone […]
