@alex found an error in #Soapbox w/ #Mastodon where if you follow someone and that follow requires approval, but the UI doesn't catch on that the follow has been successful, going into the menu and clicking add or remove from groups causes the site to crash and you have to reload it. Not sure which of these errors caused it

@alex I do wonder though, does this mean that #Soapbox will not support the #Fediverse long-term? I frankly prefer the #Fediverse to #nostr due to post editing, and also malleable passwords (which I prefer to #nostr’s private keys–if a key is leaked for whatever reason, your account is permanently compromised!)

@seanking There's no lie in what he said tho, the #Pleroma and #Akkoma devs have been intentionally hostile to @alex out of pure intolerance and it had been a nightmare for him to deal with them.

Frankly I would say that he and #Soapbox and #rebased are better without them, but #Pleroma isn't necessarily in the most vibrant state rn

@bot @alex I hope I'm describing this correctly, but it's a cross between an API and a bridge. It lets you log into #nostr via #Fediverse frontends like #Soapbox or the #Mastodon app.

It definitely has some kinks though. Replies don't work, posts made via #Ditto don't show up everywhere, etc. But it's still very new.

@alex seems to have been kinda quiet but groups are now live on #TruthSocial! Don't know how long these have been around since I barely used the site.

Hopefully this is something that can come to #Soapbox soon!

@alex is there any chance that #Soapbox will eventually reinterpret URLs following “RT: “ or “QT: “ as quoted media?

@kjr It used to be called #Soapbox before @alex split off the frontend from the backend. It's based on #Pleroma but has quote posts and other features.

@kjr @alex Yep! So #Soapbox was originally a fork of #Gab which was a fork of #Mastodon. It eventually was rebuilt by forking #Pleroma and retaining the existing #Soapbox frontend, and now the #rebased backend and #Soapbox (the frontend) have been split apart, with (IIRC) the intention of #Soapbox being a multipurpose frontend that can be used with different #Fediverse software, and #rebased being a lightweight #Fediverse backend software.

You can visit fe.soapbox.pub to check out #Soapbox and try the software with your instance! It works quite well with #Mastodon and #Pleroma especially, I can't remember if it supports #Misskey at all.

@alex Why did you remove the part of the #Soapbox #GUI that shows which client was used to make the post you're currently reading?

@Gargron @vyr

No worries, your statement keeps its essence irregardless:

"Everyone is welcome in the #fediverse no matter the protcol, feel free to join in, no matter if #calckey , #pleroma , #soapbox , #misskey or any future derivate)

Usually you phrase your sentences in a way that makes misinterpreting hard.
Which is the proper choice.
