Our pop-up channel for the FediVision 2024 voting period is live.

It's an alternative way you can hear the entrants if a linear format. It's on our main site below our regular channels.

Keep an eye on @announce and #Fedivision2024 for info, fun and light hearted lobbying.

To kickoff the voting period we'll have chat on for a bit as we are simulcasting our pop-up to the video/chat channel. The community will announce more hangouts fo the week.

Hey everyone! I recently posted about my latest project, a universal fediverse sharing button: stefanbohacek.com/project/fedi…

Is this something that you'd find useful for your website or blog?

EDIT: Thanks everyone for sharing and trying this out! I fixed an issue on iOS some of you might have run into, just FYI.

Cool! I think usability could be better. There's a field for the ActivityPub server, but I don't think people will know what to type in there. I'd probably rather a "Share to Fediverse" one-click button that THEN loads a page or overlay with clear instructions: "Type your Fediverse domain URL here then press Share to publish the following post on your server." Having just a server field is less likely to be understood.
in reply to Adam Lein

@Adam Thank you, and thank you for the feedback, really appreciate it!

Adding an overlay with instructions, which would then open the sharing modal might be a bit too many steps? I do like the simplicity of the current approach.

I wonder if I could maybe change the text to something like "type your server name to share with the fediverse"?

That's a bit long, so not ideal either.

in reply to Stefan Bohacek

Also, a technical side note, the reason the text is not a real label is that I'm avoiding using an ID for any of the form elements, in case someone wants to use this on a blog that uses an infinite scroll, in which case you'd end up with non-unique IDs on the same page.

Wrapping the input in a label doesn't work too well either with this layout.

Ah, another issue is that on mine, the placeholder doesn't appear (and neither does my typed text as it's white on white). I see in your code that there is a placeholder, so if that was visible it would probably be more obvious. Also, your aria-label attribute is set to "Amount (to the nearest dollar)" for that field. Minor minor bugs.

Derelict satellites pass within 1,000 kilometers of each other 1,000 times a year, and any collision would instantly double the amount of space debris. A space rush is filling up orbit with unregulated satellites, mostly from private companies, and we need better protections scientificamerican.com/article…

I'm prototyping a fediverse sharing button. Anyone interested in giving it a try?

Feature highlights:

- shows a logo of supported fediverse software
- lets you share selected text
- remembers the last fediverse domain used

An Eastern Bluebird came by today. I couldn’t get a very good picture of him, but he was so bright!

Eastern bluebirds are social, and will sometimes gather in flocks of over a hundred.

Forcing people to use Facebook (or other proprietary monopolistic corporations) to get updates on essential services should be illegal.
Luckily I'm offgrid and so I'm just looking as a tourist but the point stands. Grrrrrrrrrr.

100%. See my recent quote from a post on public service use of the fediverse;

mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/112…


"So here is a call from the NZOSS to the New Zealand Government to set up a Government centric Mastodon instance to provide a conduit for Agencies, Departments, Entities, Schools, Councils, DHB's and any other central or local government organisation to disseminate pertinent information in real time."

Not as far as I know.

As an aside, I'm part of a new co-op working on a fediverse hosting service. Part of our goal is giving public service entities (governmental or otherwise) a way to create their own fediverse presence, at a predictable cost, with no new work for existing staff.
