@tchambers@russell@nathan@dave@adam@StevenB@steven@james@merryoscar Hi Tim we have integration in and out of the Fediverse e.g Auto-posting my activities to TrueFans.social and others can follow my account. Auto posting to BlueSky and Threads. We also aggregate comments into TrueFans from ActivityPub/Mastodon, X, and BlueSky. I am not sure what people would like to see at Fediforum? So I have not applied.
Tune.FM is an interesting new company. It compares to Wavlake and LNBeats. They also use a micropayment system based on a platform called Hedera Hash???
They use JAM Tokens for direct to musician payments from fans. They use gamification, social networking plus rewards.
This is worth reading. We have many similar ideas for TrueFans. i.e fans pay creators but also creators can pay fans.
We have our new native apps coming soon but no harm pushing out a few cheeky features while waiting.
Now you can PIN any playlist to the top of your homepage.
You can quickly ADD episodes or music to your default 'My Queue'. You can LIKE any episode and we will automatically add it to your playlist called 'Liked'.
Or you can create a 'New Playlist' of your own. TrueFans playlists can be either STATIC or DYNAMIC.
According to a new leak, Apple has pulled the plug on a project that allegedly hoped to produce lower-cost augmented reality glasses after the project seemingly couldn't meet executive expectations.
1/6 - TrueFans now has multiple new ways for you to customise our app.
1. Country When you sign up, we use your IP address to pick your local country. We use your country to show "Home Grown Hits", "Recommendations" and "Country Charts". You can pick another country to see a different perspective.
2.Playlist By default, when you click "add to playlist", episodes are added to "My Queue". Additionally, you can create your own playlists and then make one of those your default playlist.
1/6 - 🧵 Three options for Video Hosting on TrueFans.
In England, we have a phrase to describe London buses "You wait ages for one – and then two come along at the same time!”.
For two years we have been working hard towards offering video hosting on TrueFans. And of course, "You wait ages for one video hosting solution and three come along at the same time!"
Podcast creators on TrueFans now have three options to host their videos. /cc @dave@james@adam
Now anyone can follow any podcast to see what activity is happening. i.e if there is a new episode published (announce), if a new comment has been made (boost) and by whom or someone becomes a new fan (subscribe) or even who just played the podcast. (listen).
Equally once you claim your podcast in TrueFans, all of this published activity is up to the podcast creator to choose what verbs they make public. /cc @dave@davejackson@theDanielJLewis@evan
@BeAware I think 18.1 is coming to the developer build shortly. All of it is pointless as all the so-called Apple Intelligence only works on iPhone 15 Pro Max and above and I have not updated my iPhone for a few years. #NoNeedToUpgrade - I will wait until next year when iOS18 actually has the AI features before I upgrade.
@evan@julian@pfefferle@manton@renchap@andypiper@Gargron I 100% agree with Julian. We are new to AP development but very excited. I was surprised by the lack of AP vocab support in Mastodon given the AP vocab has not been updated since May 2017.
Being a podcast & music app we had hoped to use the LISTEN verb. Sadly we can't as there is no support? Equally we offer blogging and event ticketing in our platform, so using ANNOUNCE, ARTICLE and BUY verbs will hopefully work???
Fediverse Help. We have successfully got activities to publish from TrueFans.social to other AP clients.
However for my own acct I have messed up in testing. The original TrueFans name was truefans.social/@sam and this worked. We were testing if I could change the name as a feature. I changed it to @sa and changed it back and now my posts wont federate. I follow @sam but the minute I try to federate the activity Mastodon unfollows my truefans acct and so no @sam activity appears here?
I am live demoing TrueFans today at my 1st FediForum - 4pm (UK) 8am (PST)
I'll demo subscribing to a podcast (become a fan), liking an episode (boost) and writing a comment (quote/boostagram) as well as playing an episode and recording my listen time, percent completed and value paid in micropayments.
