Hi everyone! We’re excited to share some updates:
Bonfire 1.0.1 is out! 🎉
This release is all about making your social web experience livelier, more connected, and truly yours. It brings features like following hashtags, scheduled posts, dashboard widgets, and more. This is the very first delivery from the maintenance work funded by your incredible support. Thank you for helping us reach this milestone and keep Bonfire thriving!
For details about the release see our latest blog post: Bonfire 1.0.1: Building Momentum
What’s next for crowdfunding?
If you're an existing backer, the pledge manager is now open. Please keep an eye out for updates there so we can start preparing rewards for you.
The campaign is open again for the next month. With core maintenance funded, every new pledge (or increased pledge from existing backers) now goes directly toward our first stretch goal: federated groups. Support or share our extended campaign to help fund community-owned, cross-instance spaces for real collaboration and self-governance.
Bonus good news: Thanks to a new grant, end-to-end encrypted messaging in Bonfire is now funded and in development!
Thank you once again for being part of the Bonfire movement! Your feedback, support, and community spirit make all of this possible. If you have questions or want to get involved, reach out or come say hello at FOSDEM if you’re in Brussels at the end of January!
With gratitude,
The Bonfire Team

If you like your sci-fi grounded in present day reality, I urge you to pre-order this. Sublimation is sublime.
@Edent@mastodon.social love your book reviews, i have in my list "How to speak whale" and "The bees" because of you, but i'm tempted to read this one first now 😊
@snowborn@mastodon.green @Casey@theforkiverse.com would be great to experiment 😊
More news about community features in the coming weeks!
@phillycodehound@indieweb.social We’re adding Mastodon API support, which will let you use Bonfire through any compatible client app. Aiming to include it in version 1.0.2!
Hello @ivan@bonfire.cafe, I have been testing Bonfire using this instance as a live environment, and it seems that the alpha .41 has problems threading activities.
If a user posts a reply to another user that's never been fetched, after fetching remote activities the parent reply shows up on the creator's profile but not in the thread.
Also, Bonfire does not progressively backfill context in a thread, nor will it search for new context if no one on the server follows anyone involved.
@PetroleumPredator@indieweb.studio yeah it's quite an outdated version, we are shipping the 1.0.1 which solved the bugs you are experiencing
@ntnsndr@social.coop happy to chat, i've been part of it for most of the time...

How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?
I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.
Anything else?

Has anyone ever given a #TED talk that could mentor me? I'd like to know how to submit a presentation that actually interests them, how to do the presentation, and what comes after.

I guess this is a personal update: I hit winter break totally out of reserves and then two of our parents arrived at the last stages of their lives at basically the same time. We've been traveling back and forth and trying to keep everything as normal as possible for our kid, but we are about as much in limbo as you can be (without being a dead Catholic) rn, and of course the News of the World is…dire.
Anyway, I am missing a lot of emails right now, and I am not sure when I will catch up.
@kissane@mas.to sending hugs!!
