absolutely agreed. It is all connected with Bandwagon (which federates) and Mirlo etc.

BTW when The Indie Beat Radio came along, I made a GNOME extension for that. I should add a link to TIB TV to the extension, but I haven’t gotten around to that yet.

Here is a partial list.

… zathura seems interesting, it has support for plugins for different document types, but it seemed to open a PDF in secondary window (albeit on a desktop), whereas tdf allowed me to access the PDF inline in ghostty, which was great.

TIL about tdf. Thanks! it really does seem fast.

That may have been some time ago? The team has been larger than just Eugen for quite a while now. In terms of “won’t be compatible with the majority of AP implementations”, is there a specific PR that has been changed to make something incompatible? I’m not sure I understand what you are describing. I’d love to know where we can improve, here.

nope.

We are big fans of them!

Absolutely. In fact I wrote exactly that last year.

Completely agree that this “feels like” a centralisation vector. That’s not the intent of it, and if you read the blog post we make it clear that we want many Mastodon servers, everywhere, rather than one organisation hosting them all. This is to do two things - 1) get us a more sustainable financial foundation that is less dependent on grant cycles and 2) enable the larger institutions (EU Commission being an existing example) to get set up on the Fediverse.

Can confirm there are no plans for this to happen or be attempted. We’re getting the new European non-profit worked out (more news soon), no changes to the licensing.

We chose not to add an image for quote posts because you cannot create and post them in Mastodon yet, and the number of other Fediverse servers that implement the relevant FEP is limited, so it would be over promising what you’ll see in 4.4 - the full feature is set for 4.5.

The plan is to fully implement this by Mastodon 4.5 later in the year.

That is the plan, you can see more in our previous blog post.

wow you beat me to it!

I moved from Evernote to Joplin a number of years ago, and now self-host the Joplin server and use Joplin on all of my devices. Great app. I’m afraid I can’t help with the migration from that to something else, though!

Personally I use third party apps like Sill, Fediview and Murmel and Phanpy which all have versions of algorithmic timelines for catchup. Whether something of this kind of built in to Mastodon in future is still open for discussion, but I’m not aware of a plan to spend time on it in the next couple of releases at least.

The upcoming 4.4 release has a generator based on a template, which was this one. We will look into whether we need to put that feature on hold from the 4.4 release while we work through this, however, yes the idea is that there would be a template set of terms that any instance could customise and adopt.

Perhaps not, perhaps so, but we do have other folks offering support and we will do what we can to get to a better situation here.
