@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 ❤️‍🔥

@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?

@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu it's out now 😊

Wow @Bonfire is so cool!

We're hosting our first instance for a client and it feels quite refreshing.

It's still early days for us hosting #Bonfire so it's not the cheapest yet but if you are interested, do get in touch!

@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu thanks for the heads up! we were testing a new feature, still a few rough edges 😊

We just released Bonfire Social 1.0.3 🔥

Blog post with all the details: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...

It comes with dozens of bug fixes and UX improvements, plus:

• Federated comments embeddable on any web page.

• Deep Ghost integration: SSO, membership tier sync, and automatic article import.

• New dashboard widgets: spotlight, polls closing soon, top discussions.

• #CalmEmpowerment: a new design pattern that starts with a few sensible defaults, offers a middle layer of common adjustments, and reveals the full options only when you need them. Boundaries and post permissions got this treatment first, more to follow...

• Modular community rules: a first step in bringing research and co-design with students and researchers at @hci@micro.blogs.princeton.edu into Bonfire, so governance becomes something communities can better define and share, and that others can fork and adapt.

@csolisr@hub.azkware.net ah yeah it probably would have to built for (ideally on) your machine in this case

@csolisr@hub.azkware.net Which dependency did you see on AVX? our markdown renderer for example uses it when available but has a fallback which should be enabled automatically when not available (otherwise you can force it with `MDEX_USE_LEGACY_ARTIFACTS=true`. In any case please provide more info or open a bug report.

@liaizon@social.wake.st those are just placeholders, our goal is maximum interoperability while also extending what is possible, and we're participating in the W3C groups task force to define how things should work, please weigh in there if you have any suggestions: github.com/swicg/groups/issues

You can read more about our work on groups in this previous blog post: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/wh...

And if you're an #ActivityPub developer who's interested, please join the W3C task force discussions: github.com/swicg/groups/issues

@reflex@retrogaming.social

Thanks for asking, it's something we're taking seriously. We're working on an AI policy for the project but want to do it thoughtfully and with care rather than rush something out, please bear with us.

@fediforum@mastodon.social

Our @fediforum@mastodon.social demo is up! 🔥

We showed off Bonfire Mosaic and our ongoing work on federated groups and new publisher tools we’ve been co-designing with jacobin.de, including federated discussion threads that can be embedded on their existing website.

Built on our modular framework for community-governed digital spaces.
