AvtivityPub Group Federation

This looks interesting. I wonder how it affects Hubzilla.

🥳 I'm pleased to announce that "FEP-1b12: Group federation" has just been finalized. Find the document at https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/feps/fep-1b12.md

👆 This FEP (Fediverse Enhancement Proposal) describes how groups are implemented in existing Activitypub platforms using `Group` actors. This is the fourth standards document to be finalized under the FEP process and continues efforts to help interoperability across the fediverse.

@emaxmax Possibly, but I have no idea if that's due to changes in Hubzilla or Lemmy. (And I'm not comfortable enough with the protocol level code yet to give a guess either.)

Lemmy mentioned something about Hubzilla not using Announce being an issue. So there are some incompatibilities in how Lemmy and Hubzilla handle forums.

Widget Interface - Hubzilla Core or Neuhub?

Streams has added a file called WidgetInterface that allows you to easily use custom widgets in the PDL Editor.

All of my Neuhub themes will require this file, so it is currently included when you install Neuhub.

Would this be better in the Hubzilla core?

@Harald Eilertsen I am attempting to upstream WidgetInterface, but in the meantime, it is a requirement.

And even if that code is upstreamed, that still leaves the issue of custom code.

I export my wikis ( https://freehub.space/wiki/caranistar/) from freehub.space.
I import them on commonworlds.org

Result : https://commonworlds.org/wiki/caranistar2606
Only 2 wikis instead of 3. It miss the "MtG" one: https://freehub.space/wiki/caranistar/MtG/Home (which is the lastest created, and you can find it on other clones: https://hub.pericles.hu/wiki/caranistar/MtG/Home or https://zotum.net/wiki/caranistar/MtG/Home)

Webfinger Across the Fediverse

When I tried to look up people I follow on Twitter to see if they were on Mastodon or the fediverse, I discovered that many apps can't detect that Hubzilla is a fediverse app and that ActivityPub is turned on.

Fedifinder said:

scottstolz.com Maybe down, maybe not Fediverse. Error: no webfinger template in .well-known/host-meta

That sounds like it was not where they expected it.

For reference, this is how Mastodon expects webfinger to be formatted.
https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/webfinger/

Compare this with what Hubzilla provides:
https://webfinger.net/lookup/?resource=scott%40scottstolz.com

And I noticed that certain links, like http://purl.org/zot/federation don't work.

ActivityPub for Forums

An interesting discussion opened up on how to standardize ActivityPub for forums.

https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-1b12-group-federation/2665

I thought some of you might find that interesting since Hubzilla has public forums.

I know one of the major complaints and frustrations I hear from certain developers is that ActivityPub implementations are not always standardized, so you have to test each platform to make sure it actually works. So some agreement over how to handle things like forums and moderation would be good.

I've been using AP as my only social media for a couple of years now and can't wait to have groups implemented.
I think many AP projects were delaying their group functionality until there was some form of standardization.

Although Hubzilla has far more extensive group infrastructure than current and proposed AP implementations given it's network-spanning identity system, very detailed permissions system and add-ons such as wikis. Hubzilla feels like group infrastructure first and foremost.
That being said sometimes the simpler solution is the one that ends up getting wide adoption.

I feel it's like an email client versus a full blown customer management system (CRM). They both can handle SMTP and IMAP emails, but their use case is different. Email clients might dominant because it's simple, but some people still need a CRM.

Standardization on how groups and forums talk to one another is an important step, though. I hope it happens soon. I plan on rolling out forums and communities on all of my websites.

What the /?f=

What is the significance of the f query param that seems to be tacked on to every URL in Hubzilla? I've not found that it ever have a value, or that it's even required. Why is it there in the first place, and do we need to keep on to it?

Sun, 27 Nov 2022 11:01:19 +0000

There was a reason i do not quite recall atm in the past. It is questionable if it is still required. I think it had to do with apache and the suoshin patch or something like that...

Wrong number of "unread" comments

Hi, I've noticed an off-by-ten display error: The number of unread comments has got an "1" in front of the real number of comments (see screenshot for an example).

If the number of unread comments is above 10 (for example 18) the number says 118 or so.

The quick fix for me was to comment out some lines around /var/www/streams/Code/Module/Setup.php on line 393 basically the call is_windows()

if (strlen($phpath)) {
            $passed = file_exists($phpath);
        } elseif (function_exists('shell_exec')) {
  //          if (is_windows()) {
  //              $phpath = trim(shell_exec('where php'));
  //          } else {
                $phpath = trim(shell_exec('which php'));
//            }
            $passed = strlen($phpath);
        }

Everthing went well. The setup went through. The admin user was registered as very first user in the registration page.

After running /var/www/cron_job.sh the server reboots.

http://lau.digitalesparadies.de/ shows the "Apache2 Debian Default Page" what is strange because I did not install Apache (consciously) and it worked before having choosen Nginx during the easyinstall. I am puzzled at the moment why Apache has taken over.

Status update: all famlily members have their clones on the new server. Everything was synchronized even the content of my channel, tons of pictures, files,... Perfect. It feels magic how the sync between clones work. I was watching the load of the network of the server. The load was high/busy for at least 1.5 hours with around 5 Mb/s.
