@nada @BonfireBuilders @EduMerco @barefoot_doc @dajbelshaw on the roadmap and up for discussion: https://changemap.co/bonfire/bonfire/task/6510-enable-deleteredraft-or-edit-of/
A bonfire builder. They/them.
@BonfireBuilders Any reason you can update/change 2FA after account creation. Seems like an oversight. Also, the lack of fido2/webauthn is troubling. Hardware tokens are much nicer.
@LibertyBeta @BonfireBuilders @dajbelshaw there's an open issue for 2FA settings, and I've noted down hardware tokens here: https://changemap.co/bonfire/bonfire/task/6514-support-hardware-tokens-for-2fa-eg-fido2webauthn/
#bonfire_feedback I look at my profile, and then following, This feed is Empty. I reload the page and see a flash of the 2 folk I am following then "This feed is empty" again. Mac Safari Version 15.4
@johnjohnston thanks, there's an issue here: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/373
@BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback I don't see a way to link to a post. Is there a way to raise feature requests?
You can do so right here, or directly on the roadmap where we're keeping track of them: https://changemap.co/bonfire/bonfire/
ah so it's not api compatible. does this mean bonfire won't work with existing fediverse apps?
Well we've implemented a GraphQL API for Bonfire, which is a much more flexible way for frontend apps to get exactly the data they need and provide a richer experience, so hopefully some alternative frontends and mobile apps will want to implement that at some point (maybe we can even standardise on a common GraphQL schema to be use by different federated platforms!)... The other option would be that we/someone implements the Mastodon REST API as a Bonfire extension.
@mayel how do you figure? I don't see any options
@vera ah do you mean being able to turn that off in settings? currently when you scroll down your notifications feed it should auto-mark them as read one by one
@mayel the "you can't destroy the master's house with the master's tools" saying comes to mind.
This is more like "renting a cupboard in the master's house, paying with your attention, legitimation and presence"
I'm somehow motivated to join some fb groups and try get them to come over....
I've always kept it mind what Dave Winer (creator of RSS) advised: to publish in a place under your control (basically hosted on your own domain name) with that always being the canonical home for your stuff, and then syndicating wherever you want (linking back to the source). I think the same can apply for community and discussions. Why not use the closed platforms like one would dump leaflets out of an airplane over an authoritarian territory?
#bonfire_feedback ability to configure notifications to be marked read on page view
that feature is already there but needs some improvements ;)
are there any instances running you know of that are doing federation?
not yet, we're planning to organise some install parties soon... focused first on testing federation (rather than being a place to host your main fediverse identity before being sure it's working as expected)
Temporary solution to some of the slowdown issues is to use uBlock Origin to block the domain 'robohash.org' (used to generate the default avatars)
You can do this by:
- Right-clicking on any robot avatar
- Choosing 'Block element'
- Deleting everything after 'robohash.org'
- Pressing the 'Create button'
- Refreshing the page
Hopefully @BonfireBuilders will swap out the default avatars soon!
@dajbelshaw @BonfireBuilders @vera anyway, one lesson here is don't rely on any external services (which we've tried to do but obviously missed some! for instance you can choose among - at the moment three - different fonts in settings, and those are loaded from the instance rather than a CDN)
@dajbelshaw @barefoot_doc @mayel just had a bit of a browse around (home & local timeline, feeds in peoples profiles) and feeds were all loading within a couple of seconds for me. Went to local timeline and it took noticeably longer to load. Tapping to load the conversation and it was quicker again.
Looking at the local timeline it doesnt appear anyone else is posting - so Im guessing its not currently in heavy use?
@Dazinism @barefoot_doc you may want to give it another spin after we applied the fix @dajbelshaw found :)
#bonfire_feedback login doesn't work with https://pinafore.social/
@vera that frontend only implements the Mastodon API
is it doing it on demand? it might be waiting for data before it continues processing?
the code generating those URIs wasn't making any requests, but it's possible that it was happening somewhere else in the backend, since we we have code that compresses images for "lazy loading", though that usually applies only for locally-uploaded ones
@flancian@social.coop @mayel the irony 🤣🤣🤣
yeah 🙃 see the blog for an explanation: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/meet_us_at_the_playground/#a-note-on-federation
@mayel have you seen our agora project? https://anagora.org mostly people from the fediverse
cool 😊 looks interesting to explore!
@vera FYI federation is disabled on this instance, so they won't receive that mention.
@vera and yeah, that's us 😊
@flancian@social.coop I think this is the team that built bonfire: https://zo.team/ They look they are bookchinists, our kinda people
@vera FYI federation is disabled on this instance, so they won't receive that mention.
Uhm, seems like I have just been able to boost a post 2 times
Because I clicked 2 times on the boost button, but I did so because the button didn't become blue on the current screen (I only saw it as blue when I got to my home and saw the post boosted 2 times)
So.. 2 bugs that have to be fixed.
One, server side, should not let someone boost a post without first unboosting it;
The second, client side, should be made so that when you click boost it immediately shows up
I saw this bug on mobile btw
Thanks for the feedback! Accidental double boosting is a known issue but being able to boost several times is a feature. We started a thread on our roadmap to discuss what limits should be applied (it will be configurable in any case): https://changemap.co/bonfire/bonfire/task/6505-should-there-be-limits-on/
@dajbelshaw @BonfireBuilders Thanks!
@BonfireBuilders @vera it's a mystery as to why, but removing robohash seems to have greatly sped the loading of feeds! 🎉 🎉 great find @dajbelshaw 🙇 👏
