    The big feature in release v3.2.2 of Ktistec is pinned posts with support for the Mastodon Featured Posts collection. Federation works both ways—pin a post on Ktistec and it will show up as a pinned post on Mastodon and vice versa. When you refresh an actor profile, Ktistec also fetches and updates the actor's pinned posts. This is another small step in the direction of supporting all features that Mastodon-compatible client applications expect to access via the API. It's also useful in its own right. The other major feature, which I posted a short video demonstrating here, is X-Ray Mode. X-Ray Mode is a developer and power-user tool for inspecting ActivityPub JSON-LD representations of actors, objects, and other content. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+X on any page displays the data behind the page—like an x-ray. You can:Cached Version: View the local JSON-LD representation stored in the Ktistec databaseRemote Version: Fetch and view the original JSON-LD representation from the source serverNavigation: Click on any ActivityPub IRI to navigate to that objectHistory: Use Alt+Left and Alt+Right to navigate through your viewing historyThis feature is useful for debugging federation issues, understanding ActivityPub structures, and verifying how content is stored and represented.Here's the full changelog for the release:AddedSupport for pinned posts and the Mastodon "featured posts" collection.X-Ray Mode for viewing and navigating JSON-LD resource (actor, object, etc.) representations.Back links on thread pages for easier navigation. (fixes #1)License page for LibreJS compliance.

    Tech people talk about tech too much. I really really REALLY want to use all the awesome privacy friendly FOSS (and similar) stuff, but I am not a techie person! I don't know how to program, nor do I want to. And every SINGLE time I try to find out even what thing (OS, program, app, service, etc) to use, let alone how, and I search for it... I get techie-focused answers. It's complete gibberish to me! Absolutely useless. It makes me feel actively unwelcome even though I really care about using alternatives to Windows, Meta, X and other dystopic nonsense. For example: I'm like "How do I start a non-enshittified group chat to talk about a thing?" and all the results are technobabble to me. I don't even know if the words they use are supposed to be normal english words or if they refer to orgs or groups or apps or some weird coding wizardry. I am so lost, every single time. I stick with it though. But like. I wonder if the tech people realise that this is happening???? Because they probably understand what they're talking about. And they seem to not realise that not everyone does. I'm not trying to blame or shame anyone or even complaining as such (a little bit complaining, ngl), mostly just giving feedback. This is not an issue with a singe thing but with ALL of it as a whole! Including #GNU #Linux the #Fediverse #Matrix and most #FOSS apps. My sincere wish: Give non-techie people an EASY TO FIND and easy to read and easy to understand and easy to implement guide about how to use the things as an alternative to using big corporation services, ie, "I just want it to work" and not have to worry about the technical side of things.

    I think a lot about how we get more people like me (Gen Z, female, queer, into sports) on the Social Web.One of the things I have realised is that the perception of the Social Web to someone like me isn't all that positive. It doesn't have a good 'vibe'. In this blog post, I've explored the initial vibe of the Social Web to someone like me. I'd love if you checked it out.https://forbetter.ghost.io/whats-the-vibe-of-the-social-web/#SocialMedia #Blog #SocialWeb #Fediverse #Bluesky #Mastodon
