Ecko is now available for installation in . If you'd like to try in an easy, low-risk, self-hosted way, this is it.

Please report any issues at github.com/YunoHost-Apps/ecko_ and have a nice day.

Thanks to @PaulaToThePeople for raising this idea, to -soc for having a working ynh package to mod and to for making this quest for better social networking possible.

I wonder how many kids out there are stuck in scratch tutorial hell.

Interesting difference in presentation. On the Lemmy side it's easy to see this as a little test among 116 other comments while on the other side due to Mastodon's modest fetching algorithm it feels more intimate. I could imagine some oversharing coming from the Masto side so it'll be interesting to see if anyone logs that experience.

The Magic Stone project by @weex just started, and works on forks of #Mastodon and #Diaspora based on Hintjens' C4 methodology.

@escudoencriptado @codeberg @gitea 100% agree. It's nice to have an option for public git repositories that really seems to get the spirit of FOSS and isn't run by a giant for-profit mega corporation.

If your Mastodon admin is thinking about changing their instance colour scheme, this article might be useful to them:

The folks at Yunohost have built something very special.

is now in the apps catalog but marked as 'inprogress' while some final touches are put on.

Extremely impressed by the user friendliness of their app packaging community and how the various scripts give output that humans can read.

Spent a good chunk of time today editing video with Blender and it's been a challenge, because I think of the variable frame rate video coming out of my camera.

Working with FOSS can be hard but it's worth it because the value I'm creating along the way belongs to the community. Tempted to analogize but I'll just say I'm going to be very satisfied once I have my FOSS video editing pipeline.

To begin the Magic Stone forks, I pulled in a lot of upstream PRs but also commented on others to inquire about the problems they address.

A few months later I feel better about reaching out to authors to have them PR directly against Ecko. This is progress.

Installed Ecko via YunoHost on a local instance which went very smoothly since it was based on Glitch-soc's ynh integration. Once we get the repo transferred to YunoHost-Apps, I'll install it as a subdomain of magicstone.dev!

Progress on Acropolis for YunoHost also progressing nicely.

Playing with the import and export domain blocks feature in Ecko,

import wants the same format as output by export which makes sense but it's doubtful anyone's currently providing such a list.

#FedeProxy is the project that aims to bring code forges - #Gitea, #Gitlab - to the #Fediverse to unite coders, foster collaboration.

When mentioning to others often I hear the name is non-descriptive, so I thought of another one (maybe):

forum.fedeproxy.eu/t/project-n

Proposed name:

ForgeFriends
forgefriends.org

Associations:

✅ Code, FOSS

✅ Social, Human

✅ Community, “Forge friendships”

✅ Adoption, Passion, “Friend of code forges”

And:

✅ Reuse current logo

@farshidhakimy @feditips Yeah, it's always the same long standing issues coming up.
So @weex, you're proposing gossiping. My idea relies on DHTs instead, but I'm always happy about other approaches as well as this problem isn't trivial to solve.
I am not that familiar with gossiping, some of the apparent problems I had with that approach are to many intermediate nodes as possible censors, possible load balancing issues, and no access to posts before the start of subscription. Also I am not
