@mint @tadano Something like this should be implemented, yes. Does Pleroma download media in background when you view a post for the first time?

@jan @evan That was Manyfold, not Manifold

@mischievoustomato Congrats. Was it easy?

@tadano

>docs for setting up XMR donations spotty and confusing, have dead links

Updated and fixed a dead link: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra/src/branch/main/docs/monero.md

@tadano @mint This is how it works already, relays only send Announce activities to your server. However, when such activity is received, your server loads a lot of additional data including announced posts, profiles of their authors (+avatar and banner images), other posts in threads, quoted posts and media attached to all those posts.
I think the best way to deal with this is data retention settings. You probably don't read 99% of that content, so it can be safely deleted after N days (this number is controlled by retention.extraneous_posts config parameter). In theory a more fine grained control can be provided. For example server can delete posts from people you follow after N days, but delete posts announced by relays after M days where M is a smaller number than N.

>on the subject of static assets I wonder if there could be an option to ignore file extension when replacing

That could be done by overriding CSS

One way to do that is to add CSS variables to a file with an agreed upon name like theme.css located in web_client_theme_dir. Frontend will try to load this stylesheet and if it is present it will replace default values

@tadano @mint Announce activity data shouldn't eat up much space (it's probably negligible in comparison to media).

You can calculate your database size using the following SQL query:

On my 3 y.o. server it shows 273 MB.

@fedicat I publish a weekly newsletter @weekinfediverse
There is a section about clients, I'll be adding information about Fedicat releases from now on

@Hyolobrika https://developer.unirep.io/

@fedicat Do you have a change log for Fedicat?

@henry By the way, Mitra can be used with Stripe too. It's not integrated, but payments can be processed manually, and it shouldn't be difficult to automate that with additional service

@henry You can add custom emojis using mitractl add-emoji or mitractl import-emoji commands. Unicode emojis will be added a bit later.

>Anyway, there's a service that provide subscription to the fediverse apps, called sub.club

Interesting idea, but this service is completely centralized and requires an account, I don't see what is the advantage over Substack or Patreon for example

>I think you can unfroze the subscription feature for Mitra now, :)

What do you mean? It's completely functional, you just need to set up a wallet:

@giacelvecio @streams My current account is not nomadic (it has DID-based identity proofs - that's a different thing). I use another account for testing nomadic AP, @nomad , but it is still very limited.

The implementation of nomadic ActivityPub in Mitra is incomplete and is only available to developers who want to experiment with the protocol (one needs to use a special ActivityPub client for that).

@m0xee Technically MSRV is still 1.64, but it will be gradually increased to 1.75 in the coming months

Mitra 3.2.0 finally adds UI elements for emoji reactions. This is a significant change and if you don't like it, let me know. I can add a setting that hides reactions.

@iwojima This information was later included in the report

https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-webfinger/#names

I recommend implementing username validation according to "Current implementation rules" section (there's no official standard)

You can use name attribute of Group object to provide a human readable name (with whitespaces)

@mint @iwojima @UnixCube Yes, there's no dedicated controller, any object with attributedTo and content properties is simply converted to a post

@iwojima Object IDs should be resolvable / dereferencable.

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#obj-id

Currently request to comment ID returns not the requested object but something else

@vincent @juanro49 The header fix is working, thanks.
Most implementations never fetch outbox, so empty collection or outbox URL that returns 404 shouldn't cause any federation issues. I don't think any implementation would assume that posts are deleted (deletion requires a Delete activity).

@iwojima @iwojima @eeee Looks like the whole thread is returned instead of a single post
