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.

To #Flancia and beyond!

@django @arod @Matt_Noyes yep! I'm traveling this week but I'll be back next and plan to do this. If somebody else in the tech group wants to give it a shot, it's running on coop cloud in server hypha and updating/rebooting the setup should not be too hard 😀 @3wordchant @edsu @dphiffer

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).

@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.

features look very good, but does it fetch all posts (and show correct favorite counts) regardless of which server you’re on or does it miss replies in threads (leaving behind a confusing reading experience) like #Mastodon does?

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...

...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…
