in reply to Bonfire • • •What if social networks served people in all their diverse complexity — instead of the streamlined simplicity of big platforms?
Bonfire Social is our first app: built for meaningful connection and conversation – community-governed spaces you can make your own.
It’s part of a modular framework that empowers communities to build the tools they need — and shape how they work and feel.

So bonfire has a fighting chance, godspeed.

in reply to Bonfire • • •That you have come from there is all I need to know.
I was there greeted 2 and a half years ago shortly after signup by 2 #Ukraine Nazis. They had a blond gf for me, in case if I was male. I send a report to TIM CHAPMAN.
An hour later, the Male #Nazi posted a picture of himself with a bladerunner scene holding a report, that he said was mine, and "read it.
Fuck #Ukraine and all the theatrical BULL SHIT. and your "indieweb" Hi to Tim. 🙁

in reply to Bonfire • • •This is great. #ORCiD (campground.bonfire.cafe/openid…) and federation is not yet working (I know it is a release candidate). The overall impression is “impressive!”. A lot of features suitable for research. Easy onboarding.💪
There is even a Weather widget ☀️
It seems that #bonfire can export and import all data (incl. posts, messages … Ghosted).

in reply to devSJR • • •@devSJR FYI federation is not enabled on the campground as we don't want it to become a "flagship instance".
And thanks for the report about ORCID! It was not meant to be enabled on that instance as we have openscience.network dedicated to testing the Open Science flavour. We'll try to fix the issue there in the next release.

in reply to Bonfire • • •Hi ! 👋
We'd like to understand this bit about Mastodon API incompatibility.
Would you be ok explaining what it implies ? Is it possible to talk with mastonauts ? What features would be missing ?
Thank you.
I've been very hyped for Bonfire for quite some time. 🙏
Bonfire
in reply to Radote Chill Pépère 🌶️ • • •Hi! Don't worry Bonfire is compatible with Mastodon and dozens of other apps that all use the ActivityPub server-to-server protocol.
Mastodon implemented a custom client-to-server API (which is what enables Mastodon users to use third-party mobile apps like Fedilab) rather than ActivityPub's client-to-server API though, which means client apps need to implement that API if they want to be compatible...

in reply to Bonfire • • •...and some (server apps* like Pixelfed have also chosen to also implement the same API so they can be used via the same apps.
This issue goes into more detail about the different options on the table: github.com/bonfire-networks/bo…
And this issue documents some experimentation we've done with implementing the Mastodon client API: github.com/bonfire-networks/bo…
