Just to add to this, Friendica is known to have issues with being an unkind citizen of the web before (this time for RSS):

> Friendica, various versions. 100% unconditional requests. Occasionally shows up < 10s after the previous poll. Not good.

Can someone with more #JavaScript experience tell me what's an idiomatic way of solving the problem of an application that must fetch multiple URLs?

I currently have the issue that a lot of those URLs actually are the same, so I end-up with 40 requests for the same resource.

Is there an elegant way to solve this with minimal overhead over the native fetch API?

@silverpill I added a ticket here: https://todo.sr.ht/~mariusor/go-activitypub/296

I will need to create a test-case for it, but I think I have all I need.

@silverpill which works for maybe 1% of people that create content professionally. How are we to dar say that the fediverse needs to accessible to everyone if we put crypto-currency obstacles in front of people.

In my humble opinion, any monetization option that only deals with cryptocurrency is useless in making the fediverse a valid alternative to whale content creators that might want to migrate from traditional social media.

@benpate

@benpate see if you can come up with some sort of activtiypub vocabulary based on this idea: https://floss.fund/funding-manifest/

I'm sure more of the fediverse creator would be interested in having some monetization capabilities.

@benpate are there any useful things built on top of them, or are they just crypto currency adjacent? Regular artists, I bet, would prefer to be paid in actual currency, not make belief money.

I've finally got off my ass and created a Codeberg account in order to submit my first PR to the #FEP repository.

I'm not very familiar with the FEP submission etiquette so any pointers from more experienced people would be helpful.

The PR: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/452

@catileptic wouldn't offering options to the users be a better compromise than full "removal".

I feel like users are still capable, or at least should be capable, of agency in deciding what's better for them, even if the final result is consuming more garbage.

@apti

@sinituulia I use a light therapy lamp for when I need super bright lighting during evenings.

@silverpill @benpate in fairness there's already a schema.org document for music releases:
https://schema.org/MusicRelease

Bandcamp uses them on album pages.

@dmitri the way I understood what
@silverpill is saying is that if those are part of the same server ... they're not "auxiliary".

@silverpill care to elaborate?

What is wrong with those things existing as auxiliary services?

@gvlx I don't mean to talk for @silverpill but the post is about a library under AGPL, not his service built on top of it.

You probably clicked on the wrong link.

@BeAware I know, I know... I have two or three issues that they have been ignoring for over three years. :)

@BeAware in fairness I don't think I advertised the feature anywhere where the Mastodon devs might have looked.

I didn't create a FEP for it sadly.

@BeAware I have not gone over the details, but to the best of my knowledge Authorized Fetch is just the name Mastodon uses for a similar mechanism to what I'm doing in FedBOX. In their case I think they don't allow any C2S get request on collections if they're not authorized, in mine I just filter out non Public activities/objects.

But, I'm pretty sure that my work on having the collections filtered based on recipients predates Mastodon's by quite some time. :P

I often struggle with working on non-trivial, long standing projects because when I sit down to do the work after some hiatus, I can't seem to find the pain points I wanted to fix quickly enough.

It feels like trying to get a bandaid off when you can't find an edge where it comes unstuck easily enough.

The largest piece of bandaid that I wasn't able to get unstuck from the ActivityPub adjacent work is getting the HTTP-signatures working well with the rest of the fediverse (by which I mean Mastodon).

Today I might have got the corner of another little bit of bandaid unstuck which hopefully will help in the long run.

@multiverseofbadness that's burn out talking

@BeAware federating between instances should have nothing to do with it.

Dan is presenting a feature where a user views another profile and then they can see mutuals. This can be done if Mastodon would load *all* the information (including follower list) about the profile when you view it from your own instance, instead of relying only on data that has been previously federated.

It's a *trivial* feature that Mastodon is lacking, and I feel like that's what the toot you quoted complains about.

@BeAware I think you misunderstand the problem. The ActivityPub specification encourages implementations to expose a followers/following collections on actors. Those collections have a TotalItems property in them which should allow anyone to see the count.

Here's an example.
