@Swanye i’m comfortable with l-r and r-l, either way is fine with me. it would be super awesome to have the classic Tumblr type interface. There’s a large demographic of Tumblr users who miss that a lot. I don’t know if you could do a separate mode for that? I just know that would make a lot of people happy.
I would also like to put a vote in while we’re talking about accessibility for making alt text required when uploading an image. i know separate workstreams, but…
working on the reaction list, i plan on merging it into chuckya first and then sending a pr into glitch-soc after the actual reactions pr has been merged https://github.com/TheEssem/mastodon/pull/11
it's marked as a draft because there's still a ways to go before i feel like it's ready to go live, feedback is welcome because i'm very unsure about the quality of this code (and if the API should even be designed this way)
One more thing I forgot: there's now support for federation blocking. Blocked domains are always publicly displayed in /system/about.
The next release will be even more important: I'll implement private messages and friends-/followers-only posts, at last! As far as federation is concerned, this will bring feature parity with Mastodon.
Is there an #ActivityPub server where I need to parse HTML for <link type="application/activity+json" href="..."/> to get to the JSON representation of an object? I want to add support for this in #Smithereen but I need something to test against.
The space is still new and being molded but I think many who've sought out the Fediverse have done so because they were hoping for an improvement on the way corporate social media is conducted. I have high hopes for the type of inclusivity and restoration of autonomy we can create here.
There're a lot more Fediverse Tumblr clones around these days (which is great) & I'm hoping we can create blogging env.s that don't require us to so singularly rely on individuals (who may turn out to be awful).
For those who've been following this project to begin with, I'm afraid I'm still stuck in job limbo; as much as I'd like to just ignore that and work on Swanye (a possibility that anxiety, unfortunately, too easily confuses for a valid coping mechanism), I've got a family which relies on me and, therefore, makes getting employed, again, much more pressingly mandatory. I don't have any intent to abandon the project (nor desire to) but I am, sadly, constrained from the choice I'd like to make.
