Decided to try out #Bonfire
Not sure what to think. It's a test server, not federated, not a lot there.

Decided to try out #Bonfire

Just logged in to #Bonfire's demo instance again. My post from last night is still the most recent post in the explore feed there from everyone on the instance.
My header image appears only when logged in.
There are posts from 2 years ago there and this is as far as it's come in that time / how many people are actively using the test instance.
Honestly, unsure what to think other than perhaps someday it may be a thing?

@transicorn I too joined up a few days ago, but I don’t think I’ve really looked at it much.

@saxifraga I spent a bit of time poking around the UI and settings, it seems a bit buggy and no one is there actively using it it appears.
So i'm really unsure of how far it's come given that instance isn't federated and i'm not seeing anyone talking about hosting their own instances with it that are federated here with ActivityPub.
Idk, maybe it's being used by someone, somewhere and i'm just missing it. Just seems quiet for a project at least 2 years into the making.

@transicorn you’re right - after two years, I would’ve thought it might have been a bit busier. But has the demo instance recently gone live? Maybe it will pick up. But I’m staying here for now!

@saxifraga It's been live for 2 years it seems but I think only recently began allowing more signups again.
There are 20 members i can see in the list when clicking on it, trying to load more gives this error.
Tbh i'm not sure if this is ever going to be something people are leaving anywhere for. It might be interesting but i don't see myself using it much even if it does work out given what i'm seeing 2 years into it being around.

@transicorn 20? Hmm. I think I agree with you - not somewhere to leave for.
It might be just another of those things I’ve signed up for and then never use. -

It might be just another of those things I’ve signed up for and then never use.@saxifraga There are more than 20 users because my profile isn't on that list.
But the fact that 2 years in to their demo instance running you can't even load the list of users doesn't bode well for the project overall.
It seems like it could be cool but i sincerely doubt it's going to ever be something like the other projects that already use #ActivityPub we all connect with already here.

@transicorn it just seems to be another thing for me to get confused with! I might just leave it alone 😁

@saxifraga I'm interested in decentralization so part of me hopes it will mature and become a thing, but i'm just unsure of how many are using it as well as how many are actually running instances of it that are federated.
If it allows users to natively connect to both #ActivityPub and #ATProto networks without a bridge that would be interesting. Unsure how far along that is but it was something i recall them promoting as a goal somewhere when looking into it initially.

Sure, that works too, Photon was just a play on the original name and the name for the particle for light, which is kinda important for photos: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

¿Sabías que Loops es la alternativa a TikTok que se está integrando al fediverso?Es una aplicación diseñada para vídeos breves (hasta 60 segundos) que busca recuperar la filosofía original de TikTok, pero operando bajo los protocolos abiertos del fediverso, como #ActivityPub, permitiendo la interoperabilidad.
