@elettrona@poliversity.it ouch! though today at 19.00 we will hold a workshop online for preparing the structure and priorities, we can share the link via DM if you can make it...

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.
Previously at @bonfire@indieweb.social
On Saturday May 9th in Rome, as part of the Nina Festival, we're hosting a workshop to think with Bonfire, exploring and co-designing federated digital spaces for caring for our communities.
Together with @reclaimthetech@mastodon.uno, Zero81, Scift Lab and more.
📍 Millepiani, Via Odero 13, 3pm
If you're in (or near) Rome, come join us!
@netvor@masto.nu @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe Yeap, zig had been on my short list to learn for a while now and that is one of the main reasons (along with comp time and solid cross compilation).
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu @netvor@masto.nu zig is also very easy to use within an elixir app (even mixing zig code inline within an elixir module: hexdocs.pm/zigler/Zig.html
There was a website that held a library of common elements of modern UI/web app design, assessed for their attentional harm or addictive qualities. I don't remember if it had these exact items, but you would find things like "infinite scroll" and "notification badges" on there, along with research and recommended best practices.
Does anyone know what it is I'm thinking of?
@spencer@motley.club There's this website, but it's the reverse, cataloguing patterns that they consider to be prosocial: prosocialdesign.org/
@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz @mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu we did some changes to improve feed performance, you can find the edit button in "advanced" - after opening the 3 vertical dots more menu
@orchun@hachyderm.io Oh, weird. I wonder what's causing that one? I don't know if @bonfire@indieweb.social might be interested in knowing that is happening.
Thanks for reporting! It looks like Mastodon picked up the hashtag link to preview, will look into it.
Once again, a truly astonishing amount of stuff has been happening with Co-op Cloud since our last blog post in October. Read about it here!

Are there any plans for integration with RSS feeds? Besides of group support (in the works) and some sort of BlueSky integration (which could be skirted with RSS feeds), that's one of the few things I'd be missing to move from Friendica.
@csolisr@hub.azkware.net Bonfire provides RSS/Atom for feeds and users: docs.bonfirenetworks.org/rss... (we want to add the same for thread comments next)
And we've prototyped an extension for following RSS/Atom feeds just like you do ActivityPub actors within Bonfire, some feedback on the approach would be useful: github.com/bonfire-networks/...
@Bonfire Nice! Sidenote: there a good place to learn more about the emerging encryption standard?
Here's the announcement about MLS over AP: socialwebfoundation.org/2025...

📢 A lot has happened in the past months for #LAUTI and @klasse_methode@chaos.social. Here is a short rundown:
🏁 We released LAUTI v1.2.0 yesterday along with a brand new blog and LAUTI documentation page on lauti.org. Some weeks ago we started working on Fediverse integration with the support of @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl @NGIZero@mastodon.xyz thanks to @linos@graz.social. Furthermore we collaborate with @Bonfire for a tight integration of events and got a couple of new contributors and public instances!
☀️ The future looks bright! Read all about it in first blog post: lauti.org/blog/lauti-updates...
We just released Bonfire 1.0.2, an update focused on giving you a more stable and reliable experience.
We're also heads-down working with several communities who are setting up their own Bonfire servers.
Plus updates on end to end encryption and federated groups.
More details: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...
Finally, LAUTI has it's own fediverse account! 👋 Up until now, we used @klasse_methode@chaos.social to post about LAUTI, but we think it deserves it's own account. And we hope you think so too. 😀
We're glad that our friends from @Bonfire provided us with an account on their server. And it makes total sense, as we work closely with them on different projects, one of them being the tight integration of LAUTI events into Bonfire.
For all who don't know LAUTI yet: LAUTI - Open Source Community Calendar provides communities with a sovereign platform to share their events. Fediverse integration is in the making. For more check lauti.org
Help spread the word if you like. 🤝
Are there any activitypub implementations which encrypt the contents of messages and only allow federated instances a key to decrypt it or a similar privacy mechanism?
@capriciousday@mastodon.social we're working on it! see socialwebfoundation.org/2025...
@mdione@en.osm.town @jeremy@mapstodon.space sorry will update it soon! @fresseng@universites.social
Hi, you can schedule a call with us cal.com/bonfire-networks/mee... or contact Newsmast at support@newsmast.org
@hirunatan@xarxa.cloud Please reach out to us or @newsmast@newsmast.social to discuss!
I really hope @Bonfire succeeds in their vision for federated groups. This is so important for the fediverse and I can envision many use cases in my own life.
Sadly, I'm not in a financial position to support them right now, but I hope I will be sometime soon.

Hey @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe team, it looks like openscience.network is down? Did that partnership shut down?
Was just kind of curious, as I was interested in highlighting it a blog post.
@deadsuperhero@spark.box464.social oh thanks that's an accident, the project is alive, fixing the website now!
