@evan@cosocial.ca χρόνια πολλά, Βαγγέλη!

Huh, this is very cool! Just came across this project, and it's actually the same concept as an idea I had in 2023, when we were discussing with Kainoa the possibility of a Firefish app - I told them, what if your mobile phone becomes your server and you store everything locally? But we didn't come up with a way to do this technically, and the idea for a Firefish app was quickly abandoned anyway. It's awesome that someone found a way to do this!

Has anyone used this? I made an account but I doubt I'll have time to explore it much. Any practical drawbacks to the implementation? How's battery usage, for example?

@evan@cosocial.ca unfortunately still looks the same on my end

@evan@cosocial.ca hi Evan, sorry for tagging you publicly but I think others might be interested in this. Tags.pub is a great idea, but I can't follow accounts from tags.pub from Catodon/Sharkey (and I guess Misskey too, since they are forks of that). The follow request gets stuck at pending. Since Misskey is one of the most used (and forked) fedi platforms, and it actually doesn't provide a way to follow hashtags like in Mastodon (I covered this functionality in Catodon, but this still applies to upstream projects - also it would be nice to get posts from accounts my server doesn't know about), could you look into this? It also doesn't boost my posts with hashtags, not sure how it defines the user pool.

@evan@cosocial.ca for me personally, who am not a software engineer and have been trying to find a dev to work with for almost three years now (since Firefish started steering towards a dead-end), it's been an invaluable tool. And I'm very happy with the results I've achieved - I've literally made more progress on my own in one month than we did in several months in Firefish, with several devs helping. Changed and fixed things that have annoyed me for years. It has been super creative for me, and has also helped me a lot to deal with depression.
