<p>📣<br>Ihr Lieben, wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit zusammen und deshalb fällt mir schwer, was ich jetzt schreibe. Aber es muss sich etwas ändern:</p><p>Nach der Winterpause hat die parlamentarische Arbeit Reisegeschwindigkeit erreicht und ich werde viel weniger Zeit hierfür haben.</p><p>Ich will aber versuchen, zu Euch zu kommen, so oft es geht. Erwartet aber bitte viel (!) weniger Interaktion hier.</p><p>Bitte erhaltet das <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> für uns als letzte Zuflucht und geht miteinander achtsam um.</p><p>Bis bald 💔</p>

<p>Sometimes I want to follow an interesting <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> discussion with dozens or even hundreds of toots. With the <a href="/tags/mastodon/" rel="tag">#mastodon</a> clients I know, it is easy to loose track<br>- which toot is a reply to which other toot and<br>- which toots I have already seen and which ones are new.</p><p>So I have implemented a web app supporting this: <a href="http://hcschuetz.github.io/follow-toots/dist/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="hcschuetz.github.io/follow-toots/dist/"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">hcschuetz.github.io/follow-too</span><span class="invisible">ts/dist/</span></a></p><p>If you have such a use case and feel a bit adventurous: Try it and provide feedback.</p><p>More notes:</p>

<p>As someone who has developed several <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> software implementations (<a href="https://fedify.dev/" rel="nofollow">Fedify</a>, <a href="https://docs.hollo.social/" rel="nofollow">Hollo</a>, <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/" rel="nofollow">BotKit</a>, and <a href="https://hackers.pub/" rel="nofollow">Hackers' Pub</a>), I believe one of the most frustrating features to implement in the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> is <a href="/tags/custom_emoji/" rel="tag">#custom_emoji</a>.</p><p>The challenges are numerous:</p><p>First, there's no standardization. ActivityPub specifications don't define how custom emoji should work, leading to inconsistent implementations across different servers like Mastodon and Misskey.</p><p>Rendering is particularly problematic. Emojis must display properly across different contexts (in text, as reactions, in emoji pickers) while maintaining quality at various sizes. Animated emojis add another layer of complexity.</p><p>Perhaps most concerning is the poor <a href="/tags/accessibility/" rel="tag">#accessibility</a>. Most implementations simply use the emoji code (like :party_blob:) as the alt text, which provides no meaningful information to screen reader users (in particular, non-English speakers) about what the emoji actually depicts or means.</p><p>What really dampens my motivation to implement this feature is knowing I'm investing significant effort into something that ultimately creates accessibility barriers. It's disheartening to work hard on a feature that excludes part of the community.</p><p><a href="/tags/fedidev/" rel="tag">#fedidev</a></p>
<p>3 THINGS I'm grateful for when it comes to the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>:</p><p>1: I (almost) never see any AI slop. I'm subscribed to <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>404mediaco</span></a></span> and I'm constantly horrified by their articles on AI slop - so common on Meta platforms. Not here. So <a href="/tags/thankyoufedi/" rel="tag">#ThankYouFedi</a>.</p><p>2: I'm never force-fed content by people I don't follow – so common in other places where algorithms rule. My time & attention are treated with RESPECT.</p><p>3: People here protect the privacy of children / don't post their pics. Consent is BIG. <a href="/tags/thankyoufedi/" rel="tag">#ThankYouFedi</a></p>
<p>Just rolled out some fediverse-related improvements:</p><p>- Now you can follow Write.as blogs from Ghost! There was a tiny bug with this that we just fixed. (WriteFreely PR: <a href="https://writefreely.org/pull/1373" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>writefreely.org/pull/1373</a>)</p><p>- We now support the `preview` property as a fallback for Articles. This will make your posts look much nicer as more platforms support it!

<p>Since <a href="/tags/neodb/" rel="tag">#NeoDB</a> also has a "social" feature, it's awesome that we can login in <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a> apps. For users who prefer to use their NeoDB account beyond just a shelf/tracking/library can do so.</p><p>For example, this post was made via the <a href="/tags/fedilab/" rel="tag">#Fedilab</a> <a href="/tags/android/" rel="tag">#Android</a> app.<br></p>

<p>How PieFed federates “flair” on posts and comments</p><p><a href="https://join.piefed.social/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flair_examples.webp" rel="nofollow">On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit</a> – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.</p><p>However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in <a href="https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md" rel="nofollow">FEP 1b12</a> which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:</p><p>For flair on posts, <a href="https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5636" rel="nofollow">the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this</a>, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:</p><p>{<br> "type": "Group",<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/c/piefed_meta</a>",<br> "name": "piefed_meta",<br> /* ... */<br> "lemmy:tagsForPosts": [<br> {<br> "type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/ta</span><span class="invisible">g/whatever</span></a>",<br> "display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",<br> "text_color": "<a href="/tags/000000/" rel="tag">#000000</a>",<br> "background_color": "<a href="/tags/dedede/" rel="tag">#dedede</a>"<br> }<br> ]<br> }</p><p>lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects. </p><p>So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:</p><p>{<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/post/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/post/1</a>",<br> "actor": "<a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/u/rimu</a>",<br> "type": "Page",<br> /* ... */<br> "tag": [<br> {<br> "type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/ta</span><span class="invisible">g/whatever</span></a>",<br> "display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"<br> },<br> {<br> "href": "<a href="https://piefed.social/post/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/post/1</a>",<br> "name": "asdf",<br> "type": "Hashtag"<br> }<br> ]<br> }</p><p>In this example the post also has a <a href="/tags/asdf/" rel="tag">#asdf</a> hashtag on it.</p><p>User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.</p><p>{<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/comment/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/comment/1</a>",<br> "actor": "<a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/u/rimu</a>",<br> "type": "Note",<br> /* ... */<br> "flair": "PieFed dev"<br> }</p><p>This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.</p><p>It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too. </p><p>Let’s see how it goes.</p><p><a href="/tags/asdf/" rel="tag">#asdf</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/lemmy/" rel="tag">#Lemmy</a> <a href="/tags/piefed/" rel="tag">#piefed</a> <a href="/tags/threadverse/" rel="tag">#threadverse</a></p>
