@Gargron 👍 ty!

Have you started making your own darkroom prints yet? I’m looking forward to when you do!

@Gargron I wish it were easier to search for Mastodon accounts that are from my area. Am I missing a search operator or anything that may help? (assuming the account makes this information public in some way)

Signboard is now available for Linux (in addition to macOS and Windows).

Here it is running on Arch / #Omarchy

Thanks to everyone that has installed the app despite its newness. I'm building this very slowly and for me (I love kanban!) but am thankful others can contribute ideas, feedback, and code.

@Gargron oh no! I hope it shows up. Film is hard. I know!

@pfefferle No, I do not.

@pfefferle My oldest backup is from July 17 and it has 956 “ap_actor" posts but still zero "ap_follower” posts.

@pfefferle Oh no! Umm. Yes. Many. But, what would have deleted them?

@pfefferle _extrafield, _outbox

@pfefferle none.

@pfefferle The wp_posts table? No posts of that type.

@pfefferle I don't think my blog is federating anymore and my “followers" page is now blank in the plugin. I don't think I changed anything. Anything I can do to debug and report?

@pfefferle “enabled profiles by type” = “both author and blog profiles”.

@pfefferle Logged in? I am.

@pfefferle Something seems broken with blog comment replies. See this post. I used to be able to reply to comments... but now the only button there is “Reply on the Fediverse”. Any ideas?

@pfefferle

- How can I use my blog's user as my main Mastodon account? Is that reasonable to think about?
- If I did, would my site need a lot more resources to keep up with requests, storage, etc?
- Can I use an app like Ivory to post, follow accounts, etc?

@pfefferle I have to give it more thought, but I believe so. It seems the plugin is going to end up becoming far too bloated for what I thought it would do (syndicate content). And it results mostly in tagging/like spam. None of which is a critique on any one's hard work on this... it just may not be for me. I haven't decided yet, but I think I will end up uninstalling. So I want to know the best way to do so without leaving a bunch of endpoints or files.

@pfefferle 👋 Is there a guide for safely off-boarding from the ActivityPub plugin from a site?

I promise I had no idea that Pixelfed would be launching their iOS app publicly on the same day I published this blog post. :)

@Gargron Please take a break. Enjoy! See you next year!

@Gargron @pfefferle Is there any documentation on what the CSPs should be? I'm allowing iframes from this instance (and, as far as I can tell, the iframe is what loads the embed JS?)?
