What are your thoughts on adding #ActivityPub support to a blog? I feel like blogs are different and should be separate from social media(?)
A simple solution for letting people comment on a blog post could be embedding a post including all of its replies. However, for blogs, you want comments to survive as long as possible and Fediverse servers generally don’t guarantee that.

rauschma@fosstodon.org bullish on the concept and potential.
I feel everything should be connected.. nobody says the fediverse is just shouting in the wind.
The threadiverse is proof of that, and those work very well in concert with long-form content like blogs.

The blogging server could store a copy of the comments.
(They are going to get pushed there anyway, by the commenter.)

@rauschma we have at least four blogging platforms that support AP: WriteFreely, Plume, WordPress and Ghost.

@rauschma I often use my Akkoma account like a blog, and nobody seems bothered by it. -

@atomicpoet Interesting! That’s another way of doing a blog-ActivityPub fusion.

@rauschma Mastodon fully displays Markdown. And if your post is over a certain character count, they snip it and add a “Read more…” so that those who are interested in reading lots of text can. -

@thisismissem ironically, I am debating rolling back the summary generation logic for NodeBB because sending the first 500 chars means fewer people go off-site to read the rest of the post.
I was able to get much more engagement by sending the entire darn thing in summary.

@hongminhee I also have one running with the latest alphas if needed. Let me know!

Just don't set as:sensitive with summary because that'll trigger a content warning!

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.

@fedicat@pc.cafe Oh, didn't know that. Thank you!

@hongminhee I was able to register a bonfire test account on indieweb.studio

@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.
