Hi #fediverse and #ActivityPub developers!


Gli ultimi otto messaggi ricevuti dalla Federazione
  • MastoBlaster is now available in public testing on TestFlight.

    It is a lightweight, privacy-first Fediverse client for iOS, built around a simple idea: fast, small, predictable behavior, and first-class support for snac.

    What makes it different:

    • snac-first by design, not "compatible by accident"
    • Works with all Mastodon API compatible software, including Mastodon, snac, GoToSocial, Akkoma, and others
    • EXIF stripping on upload (HDR and orientation preserved)
    • Optional on-device alt text generation via Apple Intelligence for your uploads and for images in your timeline
    • Markdown posting for snac
    • Granular notifications, grouping, multi-account
    • Blocking and moderation tools
    • Very small footprint, very low RAM usage

    Alt text generation happens entirely on device via Apple APIs on supported hardware. Nothing is sent to external services.

    It is built around my own workflow and priorities. It may not be for everyone, and that is perfectly fine.

    Important note:
    MastoBlaster will always be free for BSD Cafe users, illumos Cafe users, and for anyone connecting to a snac instance, including self-hosted ones.

    The app is already usable, but this is still a test phase. I am looking for feedback, bug reports, and real-world usage insights.

    Stay tuned.

  • @Zoufalec @mastoblaster @napierge Thank you for your feedback! The multi-account feature should be working correctly, but I will do some extra checks on my end. As for the rest, this is the very first beta of a new app, and the TestFlight phase is meant exactly for this: to help development and fix things that aren't working yet.
    I'm taking note of your comments and will work to improve everything.

  • Hi #fediverse and #ActivityPub developers!

    I'm currently working on interoperability testing for #Hollo and #Fedify, and I need a #Bonfire account to test federation with their implementation.

    Since there aren't many open public Bonfire instances available, I was wondering if any Bonfire instance admins out there would be willing to grant me a test account? It would be a huge help for improving interop! Let me know if you can help. Thanks!

    I installed it, tried it, and uninstalled it. 1. I was unable to add more accounts. 2. Switching to "federated" in the timeline is complicated; you have to click on it and then select it. 3. Incorrect display of toots. Incorrect display of media, incorrect display of threads in replies.
    I didn't try anything else. Maybe it will improve over time, and then I'll be happy to use your app.

    @julian thank you! It quiet often feels like the tools are quiet special interest tools for the most people but quiet usefull for some.The most frustrating part persoally for me is that their are sooo many good fediverse related ideas but it is really hard to find any other way than to use your free time to work on it. So most projects I can show is small weekend projects! @encyclia is really great idea and I'm exited for the impact it could have on scientst in the fediverse
