@freemo Very effective - I believe I/We shared a variety of good job hashtags during that to get good coverage. And I think your website was clear so easy to point to what's available...

(I can't search my posts to give example but there were more hashtags, though FediJob and FediHire I remember being better than usual sometimes... I referring at least 2 people when I was in that mode - I should have got the commission on that :D - but anyway I still have some gold stars I'll stick on my own book ⭐ :)

🎤 If you can fix the audio upload on QOTO I'll happily take that as reward :ablobwink: / reminder so I can Gary and our conversations out there...

@freemo @freemo
Just to adding that you mentioned PDF and not I, so the output you have or basic HTML/XML etc I think would anyway be a precursor to any other format, of which PDF I don't need on top.

As long as it looks / scrolls like your microblog section that's actually it.

@freemo @freemo
Ok, well, if it's not possible right now to put my posts through similar process like you have for posts on your website or similar then thanks for considering...!

⭐ I can at least see and show others my desired output and point them to that - and that's miles better than just an organised text output version. ⭐

@freemo @freemo
Yes. With note that experience s with PDF say it would be 2nd best as a source since line breaks or copying pasting from seemed hazardous and actually deliberately messing with content when actually pasted so the more basic HTML the better to avoid that, but yes that is the basic idea.

@freemo @freemo
Ok a quick reset to make it clear:

The "I want / what I would like"
I now see in form of your page output (see pictured) similarly from posts.

Preferably offline output but even online like you have (which I don't have resources or ability for) means I'd be able to take my posts and work offline as media and text in easy / basic way to view.

Anything unclear about that or picture below (but for my posts) ?

@freemo @freemo The way I see is this in asking / just in short to see where / if there is a big problem:

You have skills and answers already. You know what you're doing with files / process. You've done it before.

I would like that to happen in similar way for my file and maybe you could process it to have it output without much trouble apart from motivation / wanting me to learn parts.
Imagine asking granny to DIY :)

I'm maybe missing the part of learning it all and coming from minimal / backward position, but apart from that you could do it faster / easier / whenever if you feel if you saw it as beneficial.

Is that approximately true / correct?

@freemo @freemo I'll not take more of your time.

Upto you if you want to take it further for me / others... good to see example and don't want to hang on you for that existing thing...

I'll see if there is tool but I'm really looking for media and text together on a page (not just text) like what you have in that microblog section. Can call it quits for this if you want.

@freemo @freemo
Yep and I have no idea what it meant / never used that tool / don't use Linux. So politely I have no idea about that.

And I was looking for more than just plain text which is what you seemed to have as answer already.

@freemo @freemo

Yep looks good as place to output online. But could this be offline output and not online webspace (or maybe both offline as backup and online). Like in emergency could you view things?

So rather than output online, to offline?

I like the section 'microblog' on projects page https://jeffreyfreeman.me/projects/ as basically the answer offline.

@freemo @FediThing Oooh, I don't have coding skills but that does sound interesting,

Would it look fairly similar? When you say "static pages" and blogs do you mean just that and maybe less ability like no search also?

@freemo You're a Spencarian Specialist :)

A bit of a mouthful but perfect for announcing out loud as your title or sub-specialism! Try saying it now out loud! " I'm a.... "

@freemo
The outbox.json had the sent messages a bit like an email outbox file and fairly readable in plain text / without tools as one long scroll.

Would be nice cleaned up by a small tool / program. ⚒️

And about importing post theoretically in future (Sorry muted was wrong word and it still might be an incomplete idea) I meant posts are added "unlisted" and only when people look at profile they would they see or could search in future (if feature existed)... if not probably all servers adding a flag to say "all these posts are being imported" so "ignore in these way" but yeah if that doesn't work and is not close to workable, skip this idea.

@freemo An archive from 2018 (which I left Fedi from frustration) was similar .tar.gz compressed file with a .tar file inside (so another compressed file) and then uncompressed that has JSON* files inside as listed below...

actor.json
avatar.png
header.png
likes.json
outbox.json

*not sure if names of things have changed since then and seemingly didn't have any media saved - hmm...

Regarding potential spam on any importing (if you could) - Yeah I was thinking how the spam would be managed, but then I thought simply "how about muted import?" so imported posts would show but unannounced (seems possible but perhaps not across all software).

But overall anyway I assumed INcorrectly and was wrong - so you can't move posts at all top another server and perhaps only save them locally and read them by "Activity compliant software"... wherever / whatever that is!

❓ Anyone have a clue about "Activity compliant software" ❓
#FediHelp #Mastodon #Fediverse #Help #OpenSource #FLOSS
#QOTO #Question

@freemo A quick visit to settings/export page or https://qoto.org/settings/export tells me yes, toots are included.

So I wonder maybe what "compliant software" exists to read this *.tar.gz archive...

Settings/export page says:
"You can request an archive of your toots and uploaded media.
The exported data will be in the ActivityPub format, readable by any compliant software."

The setting/export page has also personal details showing user what is for for archive (I assume all of it or perhaps CSV lists marked below you have to do manually)

Media storage 1 GB
Toots 1111
Follows 1 CSV
Lists 1 CSV
Followers 1
You block 1 CSV
You mute 1 CSV
Domain blocks 1 CSV

(1's in stats are just for example)

❓ Question is about Exporting messages / toots to archive and reading it elsewhere somehow.
Even just text without media.
I'm not a programmer but could follow some steps if tested by someone to work or program made.

@freemo So is it right to say: It's possible to archive one's own posts/toots via https://qoto.org/settings/export
but one cannot take those / import those elsewhere?

@freemo So normally how would it be exporting backup from ours and importing to other servers considering the allowances here are more than most other places?

@freemo Don't mind losing some stuff, so why do you think I can't move at all and do you mean just right now at this time of updating or do you mean just usually it's not possible because of QOTO differences to standard instance installs? Thanks

@freemo Ok just the 'let me do stuff part' then... :)

@freemo Thanks for sharing. It's interesting.
I almost don't want to offer help but it's in my nature (I'm aware offering can just occupy time or your real needs)...
but I can hop into a Jitsi chat 🎤 almost anytime... probably to give you a contrast or temporary different scenery more than any correct way (so you work it out using someone dumber and seeing 'not that' which I don't mind being the one serving!)

More thought maybe by you needed on what's healthy / needed but I think you should really trust me and time is passing too. Time is now sir and sharing the load is more fun! I'd love to do it all myself if we can iterate and find some things- I have such a good opportunity now... and you can get your word out through me to help what you need...

I'm conscious too much text chat sometimes so audio can be therapy and outlet.

Anyway love you to my man in the most neutral sense / respect / love for freedom etc. hehe

Was just snowing but now it's sunny 🌄 :)
