@jonny I'm enjoying it already!

Now if they can one day find a way (maybe the AsyncRefresh stuff could make this easier) to load the newest half a dozen posts if a freshly discovered account appears empty, my single-user instance experience will be complete.

I might go with 3-gatsu no Lion. It's not quite as thematically deep as NGE, but the execution of the storytelling is better IMO.

Ah, found the culprit. It was one of the spots where I told the program to do nothing later. Turns out my wording was slightly off.

Before:

return new Promise(() => {});

After:

return Promise.resolve(null);

The number of concurrent connections looks negligible now, and no more timeouts […]

@rwg Thank you! 🙂 Yeah, account interactions are likely to be unreliable for some time as the server is struggling, but in principle it works. Feel free to follow me or @encyclia for progress updates!

@liaizon @Edent The schema pretty much follows from the requirements that individual quotes must be authorized by the quoted account, and that the authorization be (a) verifiable, and (b) revocable. Can't really accomplish that without some sort of publicly accessible certification.

In fact I […]

@Edent Yes. The flow is (1) you declare a canQuote policy, (2) accounts who fit that policy get their quote post buttons unlocked, (3) if one of them clicks it, your server gets a QuoteRequest from that actor, (4) you respond with a bespoke QuoteAuthorization, which you need to host indefinitely […]

@Edent My understanding of (the current version of) FEP-044f is that you cannot make something quotable without issuing individual approval stamps upon request. ActivityPub development frameworks may make this easier in the future, but for the time being it's a hassle for bot developers.

I'm […]

Oh hey @rimu, what's the story behind the color attributes? Does other software besides PieFed use them, is there an FEP?

It's way down on my to do list, but I've still got a brain cell or two dedicated to declarative federated profile accent colors. @hollo has configurable profile colors, but […]

@rockleesmiletv.bsky.social I wonder if a human looked at this and decided to submit it or if it's part of a straight-up automated data funnel.

If Mastodon quotes work on Bluesky, it's because of the generic quote property parsing. The Bridgy Fed GitHub issue on Mastodon quote features (quoting permissions, quote revocation) is here: https://github.com/snarfed/bridgy-fed/issues/1956

@mackuba.eu @reiver
Please add support for FEP-044f quote post authorisations · Issue #1956 · snarfed/bridgy-fed
Mastodon added support for ingesting quote posts from other servers based on FEP-044f in mastodon/mastodon#34370. With that change, it seems to already recognise the quoteUrl property bridgy-fed is...
