@maiyannah For me the main criterion on a server-to-clent protocol selection is an answer to the question: will this new protocol allow us to see the whole GNU Social federation as ONE social network with globally unique identifiers of all entities, including posts and users. The only actually used client API that support this, is Pump.io's one that is a flavor of ActivityStreams...

@maiyannah As you saw, the Micropub specification refers to its alternative - ActivityPub: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/
Based on my current knowledge, ActivityPub based on ActivityStreams would be more fun for developers :-) ... although I would need to learn more about them in order to make a choice.
My experience with Android client shows that implementation of a transport layer, including authentication and file transfers, takes major part of a new Social networking protocol adoption. -

@maiyannah Thank you for the link to the Micropub specification. Seeing verbose descriptions and references to test suites is a real pleasure after a couple of days fighting with ad-hoc Mastodon client API and its server HTTP 500 errors without any clues...
The main question here is if real Social networks will _really_ support the specification. I mean support in the sense that non-conformance to the specification would be considered a bug that needs to be fixed.
I will update AndStatus to support this protocol, if GNU Social developers implement it on a server side. -

@roamer I just tried to login to LoadAverage from a fresh copy of AndStatus: it works now... -

I implemented basic support of the "Mastodon" type Social network in AndStatus application. Currently a User can create an account and read Home and Public timelines.
Unfortunately, posting doesn't work due to a problem with authorization. For some reason, authorization works for OAUTH "read" scope only.
@gargron or maybe somebody else, Could you look, why e.g. uncommenting the line 61 with OAUTH_SCOPES in https://loadaverage.org/url/3561999 leads to authorization error.
additionalParams.put(OAuthConstants.SCOPE, OAUTH_SCOPES);
?!
With this line commented out read-only authorization is provided.
Please note that during client application registration I do use the three OAUTH_SCOPES "read write follow" (in https://loadaverage.org/url/3562000 )

@roamer An error in the "Commands in a queue" can be _Shared_ e.g. to Clipboard (I downloaded Copy to Clipboard application for this...) -

@nestort I saw download statistics in F-droid a couple of years ago. But it looks like F-droid team turned it off since that time.
I found this discussion today: https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/statistics-of-download/ -

@mararm Yes, I compared installs on Google Play and F-droid: number of daily installs via F-droid was about three times more than via Google Play.
This is specific to GNU Social / Pump.io audiences, I think.

According to Google Play statistics, number of AndStatus "installs on active devices" from Japan tripled during the last two weeks and is 90 now.
Compare with installs in Germany, which increased by 2% only up to 160.
Total number of "installs on active devices" is 769 -

@andstatus Yes, I do see older (previous) messages, but I can't see how to acces the messages between latest 20 downloaded and the ones I already had. To me, it would be nice if, between older messages and newest 20 there was a button which allowed to download more messages. Also I'd be great if this amount of 20 was configurable. Many thanks! 🖖🖖 -

@hobbsc Your messages (both replies, that you created, and first messages of conversations) are in the "Sent" Timeline. Replies _to you_ are in the Mentions Timeline. Both of them are in the Home Timeline.

@nestort I see why this behavior changed: in the v.32 I introduced ”Sync older messages" feature and simultaneously decreased number of messages to load during the first sync from 200 to 20, as I remember...
I guess"Sync older messages" doesn't work for you, because you have older messages?! -

@erien @pztrn@f.pztrn.name It looks like Friendica sends HTML-escaped text in a field, which AndStatus expects to be a plain text field. This is why AndStatus shows it as is. AndStatus tries to figure out if the message body is HTML-formatted by searching for presence of both "less than" and "greater than" signs , but it doesn't recognize the text as HTML is this case.
Try to add any html tag to your post ;-) -

@megver83 I don't know this. In AndStatus I do this using syncable Search by a hash tag. -

AndStatus
@megver83 Currently you should follow a "group" via web interface of the GNU Social instance, to which the group belongs.
AndStatus has custom syncable Search timelines, so in order to have a separate timeline for a GNU Social group, you can create e.g. a Search ”!gnusocial" timeline and make it syncable. The same for hash tags.

"Mastodon broke the cardinal rule of social media: it separated them into silos" sorry @LanceUlanoff but this is not the "cardinal rule of social media". This the cardinal rule of walled gardens build to grow the product (the users) in order to sell them to advertisers. http://mashable.com/2017/04/05/mastodon-wont-survive/ -

@bes You opened my eyes, thank you. I thought that creation of a new custom client API for Mastodon with strictly centralized communication was a developer's desire to do at least something "new"... What a naive I was when I tried to argue at https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/419 that federation-oriented API would be better for GNU Social community and wandered why I wasn't heard...
Now this looks like a deliberate decision for Mastodon to wall-garden users in separate instances. Quite appropriate for a corporate customer, but bad for federated social networking?!

@musicman Tip: You can create more than one account on different GNU Social instances, and compare them + access different audiences
