Release v3.2.3 of Ktistec

  • Release v3.2.3 of Ktistec includes two big features:

    • FEP-1b12 Group federation
      Improved federation with Lemmy and other forum-type servers. Ktistec supports community and thread follow/unfollow, as well as up-vote/like (down-vote/dislike is supported but there is no visual affordance for that yet).
    • FEP-9098 Custom emojis
      Support for viewing custom emoji in posts and on actor profiles. Ktistec does not yet support custom emoji creation and management.

    The full changelog:

    Added

    • Support for viewing custom emoji in posts and on actor profiles.
    • Actor type (Person, Group, etc.) overlay badges on actor panels.
    • Colored fallback avatars for actors without icons.
    • Support for robots.txt.

    Fixed

    • Federation with Lemmy and other servers that support FEP-1b12.
      • Shared inbox support for local actors.
      • Serialization of Undo includes the undone activity.
      • Serialization of Like and Dislike does not.
    • Notify only once for an object's first received activity.

    Changed

    • Accumulate metrics by hour for finer granularity.
    • Clean up presentation of public followers/following pages.

    The next release will include support for Mastodon polls (FEP-9967).

  • 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 history

    This 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:

    Added

    Support 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. (fixes #127)Highlighting of recently fetched hashtagged posts.

    Changed

    Improved presentation of audio and video media.Refactored theming/styling implementation.

    The next release will focus on smaller features and bug fixes.

    Enjoy!

    @pocketvj I've liked Friendica for that purpose so far. Of the various Fedi options I have tried it is closest in functionality. It lets you have granular control of who can see or interact with your posts, lets you organize your contacts, can make long posts if you want of like 200k characters, supports making groups, also has a nice rss feature where you can add rss feeds as if they were a contact so they show up in your timeline and can be easily reshared.Features it has that are better than facebook are: no ads, no algorithm randomly hiding your friends posts, can be self hosted so you control the moderation (no more random post going missing for reasons you cant figure out), can organize your timeline by subject matter in addition to by who's posting (you can create and organize saved filters by keywords and hashtags and other parameters to create multiple kinds of timelines), has an option to pick from different UI styles (there's a green style one that I love, it's so peaceful and relaxing), and ability to bridge to follow and post with people other social networks too, even ones beyond ActivityPub. And my favorite: an optional anti doomscrolling feature, you can choose "pagination" instead of infinite scroll.Differences anddisadvantages: At first your timelines are quiet until you start following more people because there's no Meta force injecting "suggested posts" at you constantly. Timeline may also be more quiet than you're used to because it doesnt have addictive UI tricks to keep people scrolling 24/7 (but if you struggle with addiction this is a benefit. I regained hours of my week back). Because it's built by volunteers the default UI isnt as slick. I recommend going in the display settings and using the "bookface" display option which makes it more close to how facebook looks. It lets you control more stuff than Meta does, and some people get intimidated by having so many settings options. Because it's not an invasive privacy predator, it's slightly harder to just look up people you know, no one is required to use a real name, so I recommend joining with a few other folks you know so you can hang out together as you start off.

    RE: https://colours.bots.edent.tel/posts/68db167a-0f16-f630-b7bd-f9aaad3beb7c.jsonHey you! Would you like to learn how #ActivityPub works?I have a *single-file* ActivityPub server which can be used to run bots.It supports quotes, mentions, hashtags, and most features of the modern #Fediverse. You can play around by uploading one PHP file and one .htaccess file to your website.Get started at:https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/
