just discovered @podverse, an podcasting client that is #floss, on iOS and F-Droid and active here on the #fediverse

@sl007 thanks for the reply Seb, I hope you are well!

I remember seeing somewhere that @dansup had been working on a test suite. And I just saw something @bengo was working on that looked related too. This does indeed seem like a really pressing issue that we need to make some progress on.

anyone know where @cj of https://github.com/go-fed is? I noticed their website is down and there is no activity on their github for 9 months. I see they posted something in June about maternity care so maybe they are just offline with baby care duties.

@MediaFormat pinged them (https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/unofficial-test-suite-go-fed-testsuite/805/9) cause the #activitypub test suite is down as well and it seems like they might be the one who has the keys...

TIL that #ActivityPub used to be named ActivityPump

@mike ok how can I see all the reviews already left by people from friendica/hubzilla/streams overlaid on a map?

@humanetech this might be nice to deconstruct in a lemmy post. It makes a lot of strange assumptions about the fediverse and it might be useful to break those down to better understand how we present ourselves to the outside world. The author seemed to get confused about the federation aspect and mentioned how there were "40 mastodon social networks"

The second we talk about choosing instances we confuse the hell out of a huge portion of the population. How can we solve this social issue?

the #fediverse is (sort of) in a Forbes article posted yesterday about @rabble and #SSB:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeldelcastillo/2022/09/11/jack-dorseys-former-boss-is-building-a-decentralized-twitter

its featuring a photo of @cwebber at #DWeb camp and includes mentions of @staltz, @manyver_se, Dominic Tarr, #Āhau, #Bluesky, #Mastodon, #ActivityStreams, Paul Frazee, and a bunch of other buzzwords that are bizarrely smashed together into an article. Still quite interesting to see this stuff in a mainstream publication.

its also posted on HN:

a list of suggested unicode symbols to represent the fediverse:
@Moon: ꙮ
@haverholm: ❆
@raphael: ⁂
@maikek: ∞
@mariusor: ꖜ
@singitout: ᵮ
@kerleone: 𖡦
@lukasfx: ⨕
@humanetech: 🕸️
@wago: ⛢

whats the best unicode character to represent the fediverse? we need a symbol that is already encoded!

so far the suggestions (ignoring the joke suggestions) are:

@Moon: ꙮ
@haverholm: ❆
@raphael: ❅ or ⁂

Who else is working on this #fediverse feature?

while exploring #kutaisi after coffee today @lake and I found some cows living under this very #solarpunk soviet era apartment block

wow the peertube instance I had an account on and had used a bunch over the last few years is seemingly gone without any notice. it was at betamax.video and was managed by @debugninja@banana.dog (also an instance thats gone now?) did they ragequit or something?

the importance of picking a server whos admin you trust is really an underrated aspect of the fediverse we need to work on... I mostly chose it for the cool domain name and the custom theme...

@crashglasshouses all the alternatives are missing a lot of info. There are a few different providers of OSM data that can be used but none that do a good job of replacing all the shit thats on google maps

@coloco I am also doing it like this and its very time consuming, I want to make this situation better for everyone

@coloco I have been thinking about this a lot lately and want to push for making some progress in this front. I think its something that the fediverse could do alot to improve.

@coloco @apps @Gargron this is not a good enough solution for me unless there was this same support on the web app and iOS as well

hey #fediverse people:
has anyone made a fedi bot that lets you follow the posts from another fediverse user but translated into the language of your choice?

lets say @moss@grassy.feild only posts in german but I dont speak any german so instead of following them I dm @TranslationBot "follow @moss@grassy.feild in english" and then @TranslationBot makes a private repost account that replies to their public posts with the translation in english and tags me in it.

@Gargron I would love a client that has good customizable translation built in. I have not yet seen this done well but I would love too. I keep following people that post in languages I can't read and I would like to have some solution other then translating each post manually.

came across https://webxdc.org by @delta in the Redecentralize Digest, I could see this implemented in a fediverse context as well, I wonder if anyone has played with this type of thing here
