Good morning from Kelpland. Perhaps you’d like to look at some beautiful seaweed and/or think about knowledge.
Public Interest Social Networks
Bonfire is built by communities, for communities. Rooted in autonomy, mutual care, and collective power. Co-create your tools, reclaim your data, and resist manipulation by shaping your own federated digital spaces.

Utenti del fediverso. Ho un quesito: c’è un weblate/crowdin dove tradurre il codice di @Bonfire ?
Mi piacerebbe moltissimo tradurlo il lmo.
Fatemi sapere grazie 🙏🏻
@emanuelecariati@varese.social non sono sicuro di averti aggiunto correttamente...mi confermi appena puoi?

@Bonfire The network grows and we've tripled the number of federating services in the past 12 months.
Opt-in or selective federation is the only way forward for many communities. No-one can individually vet and monitor 58,000 domains.
Kudos to @Bonfire for getting this stable and ready for production!
Bonfire Social 1.0.5 is out! 🔥
Archipelago mode means instead of open federation (connect to everyone, then play whack-a-mole blocking bad actors), you can now choose to federate *only* with a hand-picked allow-list of trusted people or servers. Communities can link up into an "archipelago" of like-minded "islands" with shared rules, ideal for tight-knit groups, neighbourhoods, assemblies, co-ops, or orgs that want to connect with each other but not necessarily the whole internet.
We also added new admin throughput controls as our latest take on "calm empowerment": simple defaults first, curated overrides next, and full advanced control behind an explicit gesture. In practice, you can keep a busy instance responsive by picking a speed preset, prioritising certain kinds of activity, or fine-tuning each background task queue, no config files or restarts needed.
Also new in 1.0.5:
- Faster search, now powered by Sonic
- Broadcast announcements to everyone on your instance
- Embeddable widgets: put your pinned posts on any website
- PGP-encrypted system emails
- Plus lots of improvements and fixes (federation, polls, media, accessibility, mobile)

Welcome to CIM's #bonfire instance! We are currently using the #openscience openscience.network/ flavour, which has some features that are relevant to #academics. Feel free to test it and share your thoughts here!
@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe not related to this, but I don't think I ever got an email for where to sign up for an install party as a part of the Indiegogo campaign. What are the deets for that?
@unsafelyhotboots@sharkey.world ah we sent some surveys out a while ago to gather peoples preferences, timezones, etc. We still need to start actually scheduling them but did you receive that?
🔥 The Bonfire Social 1.0.5 release candidate is out!
This one brings archipelago mode (opt-in, allow-list federation for tightly-knit communities and networks), a more lightweight search backend (see changelog for migration steps), broadcasting announcements, another embeddable widget, PGP-encrypted emails, and many UX improvements and fixes.
If you're running an instance and want to give it a go, please let us know if you run into any issues.

Facciamo HTML Day in Italia!
❇️ L’8 agosto sarà HTML Day! ❇️
In quei giorni io sarò in Italia, specificamente a Sanremo, dove dubito ci siano nerd del Web quanto me.
Dunque cerco amanti di HTML che siano interessatз a partecipare e/o co-organizzare un piccolo incontro carino anche da noi, per celebrare il linguaggio ipertestuale più bello del mondo.
La mia idea è di scegliere una città del nord (purtroppo non riesco a muovermi più lontano), trovare un luogo che ci ospiti e fare una festicciola, magari con qualche piccola demo, presentazione o condivisione di skill. 🪩
🪁 Se ci state, rispondete a questo post, scrivetemi un’email o contattatemi su Signal.

@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe would it be possible to have federation deletion jobs that don't find the thing to delete not be considered a failed job? I seem to get an awful lot of them (enough to drop federation job success rates down to ~60% sometimes) which makes it hard to spot actual problems when they do happen. Especially because (it appears?) some servers keep on sending the deletion requests, meaning that it's showing errors for things that have already been successfully deleted.
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu yeah good idea, the reason there's so many is that mastodon sends Delete activities far and wide to try and ensure no deleted posts linger on other servers, we've tried optimising that in the past with github.com/bonfire-networks/... but we have an open issue to tackle it better: github.com/bonfire-networks/...
ok! i think @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe has resolved the federation issues in 1.0.5-beta.1!
@christopher@gay.amsterdam yay 😊 thanks for your help debugging them!

It needs to be one of the registered users of openscience.net such as
@brembs
Or
@UlrikeHahn
😁
@olibrendel@scicomm.xyz fyi the sandbox instance is only meant for testing how it looks like, it's not intended to be a fully working / federated instance as we do not aim for running flagship instances (decentralisation ftw). That said, we will send you an invite soon

@A_J_Millar @olibrendel Yes ! Well Open Science Network is based on ActivityPub and offers many useful features for scientists and their institutions that Mastodon does not provide, integrating closed discussions and circles. It can be used to build scientific discourse around manuscripts. One good way to get info is to check their blog : https://openscience.network/blog/. Another one is to ask them directly : @Bonfire

With the exodus from big tech social media, people often wonder where they find events for their city or community. The need for community driven/owned event calendars rises and with it people starting one themselves. Nowadays there are a couple of viable technical solutions, but the real question is: How do you get people to use them. In this blog post we reflect on nearly 5 years of building and operating @eintopf@sueden.social We hope this will help others to make their calendar a success. Comments and additions highly welcome.

YAAAAAAAA @Bonfire is a HONOURABLE MENTION at the very first #OpenSocialAwards at @publicspaces
🐌 Slow Software for a Burning World ❤️🔥
(Also the most shy people in the room)
@Bonfire@bonfire.cafe Running it already!
Hmm. I seem to be having some issues with search. Do I need to change anything on the config side for 1.0.4? (Trying to tag somebody in the composer is showing me ActivityPub IDs, not tags, and trying to use the search box just starts a UI reload loop)
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu thanks for reporting! We can reproduce the autocomplete issue but not the search, could you please send us app logs of when it refreshes?
Checked if there was a @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe release for the first time in a few days and noticed there was, and then was puzzled when I couldn't download the container image.
On double checking the time stamps, turns out I had tried to pull the image less than 2 minutes after Mayel pushed the commit.
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu it's out now 😊
