🔥 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.

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...
1/2
...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

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

I'm only posting this to give you the chance to explain all the ways its not.
Your software seems to be missing or you posted a bad URL.
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.
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.
This is a bonfire demo instance for testing purposes
