🔥 Bonfire Social 1.0 release candidate has landed!

Curious about what the fediverse could look like with real community control?

Try out features like custom feeds, nested discussions, shared profiles, circles, and boundary-based permissions — then let us know what breaks or needs improvement.

More details and video demos: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bonfire_social_rc/

Hi ! 👋
We'd like to understand this bit about Mastodon API incompatibility.

Would you be ok explaining what it implies ? Is it possible to talk with mastonauts ? What features would be missing ?

Thank you.
I've been very hyped for Bonfire for quite some time. 🙏

@Zekovski Hi! Don't worry Bonfire is compatible with Mastodon and dozens of other apps that all use the ActivityPub server-to-server protocol.

Mastodon implemented a custom client-to-server API (which is what enables Mastodon users to use third-party mobile apps like Fedilab) rather than ActivityPub's client-to-server API though, which means *client apps* need to implement that API if they want to be compatible...

...and some *server apps* like Pixelfed have also chosen to implement the same API so they can be used via the same apps.

This issue goes into more detail about the different options on the table: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/1260

And this issue documents some experimentation we've done with implementing the Mastodon client API: https://github.com/bonfire-networks/bonfire-app/issues/916

@bonfire features look very good, but does it fetch all posts (and show correct favorite counts) regardless of which server you’re on or does it miss replies in threads (leaving behind a confusing reading experience) like #Mastodon does?

@bonfire This is great. #ORCiD (https://campground.bonfire.cafe/openid/client/orcid) and federation is not yet working (I know it is a release candidate). The overall impression is “impressive!”. A lot of features suitable for research. Easy onboarding.💪
There is even a Weather widget ☀️

It seems that #bonfire can export and import all data (incl. posts, messages … Ghosted).

@devSJR FYI federation is not enabled on the campground as we don't want it to become a "flagship instance".

And thanks for the report about ORCID! It was not meant to be enabled on that instance as we have https://openscience.network dedicated to testing the Open Science flavour. We'll try to fix the issue there in the next release.

If I were to setup an instance of Bonfire Social would it be possible to migrate/upgrade users to Bonfire Community when I decide that it's time?

@bonfire I should block the domain indieweb dot social.
That you have come from there is all I need to know.
I was there greeted 2 and a half years ago shortly after signup by 2 #Ukraine Nazis. They had a blond gf for me, in case if I was male. I send a report to TIM CHAPMAN.
An hour later, the Male #Nazi posted a picture of himself with a bladerunner scene holding a report, that he said was mine, and "read it.
Fuck #Ukraine and all the theatrical BULL SHIT. and your "indieweb" Hi to Tim. :(

What if social networks served people in all their diverse complexity — instead of the streamlined simplicity of big platforms?

Bonfire Social is our first app: built for meaningful connection and conversation – community-governed spaces you can make your own.

It’s part of a modular framework that empowers communities to build the tools they need — and shape how they work and feel.

Open Risk
@openrisk@mastodon.social replied  ·  activity timestamp 4 months ago
@bonfire

It will take some effort to make 'social' actually be social and its not going to happen by iterating for the n-th time on twitter.

So bonfire has a fighting chance, godspeed.
