@weex that is great!

Thank you @grishka for taking the time to draft the text for this FEP, for your help seeing it move forward!

Anyone have tips on how to codegen an OpenAPI consumer for Ruby? Started working with insomniac to define and test a REST API but I'm just about to access it from and would like to do it right.

🥳 I'm pleased to announce that "FEP-400e: Publicly-appendable ActivityPub collections" has just been finalized. Find the document at codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src

👆 This FEP (Fediverse Enhancement Proposal) marks is the second standards document to be finalized under the FEP process and continues efforts to help interoperability across the fediverse.

And for those who are still on the 3.3.x branch, v3.3.2 is out with the same fixes.

Ecko's main branch was just patched with important security fixes from Mastodon v3.4.6.

The latest docker image is being built now. YunoHost app update 2022.02.03~ynh1 which includes the changes has been pushed and should become available later today.

A new version of Acropolis was just released for YunoHost. Version 2022.01.29~ynh1 adds email confirmation for new accounts and creates the initial admin account during installation making it the smoothest installation method of any diaspora* fork.

is Magic Stone's fork of , one of the first federated apps ever made which is built around "aspects" or circles of people that you want to share with. Sign up at dogieda.org to try it.

A new version of Ecko has just been released on YunoHost. Version 2022.01.31~ynh1 adds two new themes for accessibility, HTML and Markdown in toots and fixes a bug in polls.

Big thanks to @jorge and @blindscribe for their feedback and support for Ecko!

⚙️ A security fix for Mastodon which will likely affect Ecko is scheduled to be released tomorrow so look out for another update to our YunoHost app then.

Ecko is Magic Stone's community-driven fork of Mastodon. You can install it via YunoHost at install-app.yunohost.org/?app=, via docker-compose or from source at our repo linked below.

Please post any bug reports or feature requests in the form of a problem statement at github.com/magicstone-dev/ecko

We'll be monitoring for release of security patch for Mastodon so it can be applied to asap.

mastodon.social/@Mastodon/1077

⚠️ We are planning to release important security fixes for #Mastodon on February 3rd, between 13:00 and 15:00 UTC.

To make sure that most servers can upgrade swiftly, we will release the fixes both as v3.3.2 and v3.4.6 (they will, of course, be also available on the main branch).

To make sure the upgrades on those older versions require the least intervention, with just a process restart, we have just released preparatory releases v3.3.1 and v3.4.5.

Please upgrade!

Quick survey 25% of the last 20 toots in my Home timeline have captions.

Ecko now has themes that help improve accessibility in a very simple way. If a toot has media with no caption, it gets a red border as shown/described in the attached images.

These new themes are now live on c4.social. Admins of the adventurous sort can add to their Mastodon instance with the changes shown in github.com/magicstone-dev/ecko

Thanks to @blindscribe for raising the issue and providing the CSS tweaks!

Social Architecture by Pieter Hintjens was my favorite of six books read this month. A great read for anyone who works with , it explains why community takes priority over just about anything else related to free software development, and at under 200 pages it's short!

If you are wondering how to take a pet project and grow it into a long-term asset for its users and contributors, I can't think of anything better.

One warning: the book may cause you to stop reading mid-way to put into action the ideas contained therein.

Patched mastodon-bot to fix resolving shortened URLs - so no more t.co links! Really happy about it ;).

gitlab.com/yogthos/mastodon-bo

(I don't use a bot for my personal account, but I use it for the announcements on a couple of project accounts like @hack42, @mch2022camp and @reproducible_builds . In addition to the mirrored content, I also 'manually' maintain those accounts, boost things, check replies, etc)

Been thinking a bit about the initial Magic Stone mission "Creating magic through evolution of the Fediverse." Though it's not boring, I think it may be a bit nebulous and it hasn't struck a chord with anyone.

Early on I developed a 10-page document called "A social network for humans." That document followed a top-down design process which has been supplanted by C4 in which our software changes to meet the problems experienced by its users.

Therefore I propose a new mission for Magic Stone:

Social networking for humans

This has more substance and may be a clearer meeting point. Thoughts? Though it feels early to worry about I think it is important for developing collective understanding of where we might be going.
