@agates correct
@Todd_Blubrry you should publish them all in a podroll or publisher feed or something
no
fun fact:
new Request('https://example.com', { method: 'POST', body: 'str' }).body
returns a readable stream in every js server environment, and every browser
except firefox, where it returns undefined 🤦♂️
one more for today: just got @pixelfed oauth working too
similar to mastodon, you can add an existing pixelfed.social account, and follow any fediverse user directly from browser.pub
and, similar to mastodon, pixelfed does not seem to support any additional ActivityPub over C2S when authed
and of course you can't see my personal Pleroma 'inbox' collection here, since you aren't logged in as me
as it should be
if anyone finds any additional endpoints available to read over C2S when authed (on any AP server impl), let me know - I'd be very curious to know what's supported out there
... or by hitting "next" in the visual view
maybe I should add some sort of automatic revealing of the next item on scroll
Under the hood, the personal inbox is represented as an essentially infinite ActivityPub OrderedCollection, with no 'totalItems' count property, and no 'last' pointer
I can keep iterating down my inbox reverse chron this way in the json...
Pleroma, however, is a different story - a better story
here is my Pleroma account, listing my private inbox collection - essentially my home timeline
this is not public, but available to ActivityPub C2S clients like browser.pub with a valid auth token
you'll notice that browser.pub not only requests the ability to follow, but _also_ to read, generally
this gives the logged-in user the ability to explore ActivityPub collections that may not be public, only accessible via auth (if the server supports such collections over ActivityPub C2S)
in theory, you could imagine building a thing on top of these collections that looks like your personal mastodon timeline, but using spec-standard ActivityPub
in practice, tho, here is my mastodon inbox 🤦♂️
thanks for the kind words! hope it helps you out there in activitypub-land
@thisismissem yes I can't _wait_ until that spec is supported in popular implementations
right now I maintain a minimum number of mastodon app registrations based on unique attributes (they are not user-specific), but would love to rely on this less in the future
let me know if you know of a server I can get an account on that implements Client ID Metadata Documents for testing
misskey and micro.blog from @manton both support client registration for clients like this by simply providing a website url
it's called "indieauth" (displayed in the login info row, otherwise falls back to mastodon-style app-creation-based registration)
there is a newer emerging standard for dynamic client registration, but no one supports it yet - I'll add it when one does!
micro.blog doesn't support C2S follows via the outbox yet, but we can fallback to the micro.blog api here
now Pleroma is special here, it supports following like this in bog-standard ActivityPub!
ie just posting a small json payload to the logged-in user's outbox endpoint
hopefully more ActivityPub servers support this soon, as it should be very similar to what they already do for S2S
anyway, once you have an active login it will be displayed in the top-right corner, and you can follow profiles with a tap of the "Follow" button
You'll see that only the newest Mastodon 4.3 (still beta only?) supports this new metadata, but it should be rolling out widely soon.
... then stores the login info in the browser
For OAuth dorks, it'll show the token expiration and granted scope
Also whether or not the server supports the excellent OAuth server metadata spec, and whether the server supports PKCE (a security improvement that is a newer part of the spec)
browser.pub requests the ability to add new follows to your account...
Ideally, I'd like to have these follows take effect here in my main account and not have to create a brand new profile on a brand new site.
This is where OAuth comes in - many existing fediverse servers supported federated login in a standard way
Just enter your account to start the login flow in browser.pub
So as I'm bopping around looking at everyone's #ActivityPub in browser.pub, I wanted to have the ability to follow interesting people while I'm browsing.
I just pushed a new update that adds a "Follow" button next to every profile in the visual view
e.g. https://browser.pub/mastodon@mastodon.social
@greg yes, Akamai would not even be visible on this graph had they not taken over the highwinds cdn business last year
maybe their media pricing vs other web stuff? hard to say
muchos kudos to Mastodon for fixing something so quickly!
@manton indeed - it seems they have engineers that know what they're doing over there
it's been fun watching them handle the orders-of-magnitude spike with relative ease, the app & api have mostly stayed up throughout - and this spike, too, will undoubtably ebb soon
but all of the 3p devs are scrambling to upgrade their VMs : )
😳
‘I fully expect Meta (ie Facebook) will drive that process, that people will choose to interop with their product over Mastodon and over ActivityPub.
Names like "fediverse" get walked over and perverted by big tech companies. We will find ourselves soon talking about the Meta-fediverse and the Masto-fediverse or (somesuch).’

a thing that still haunts me from my time working on the android lock screen -> camera integration:
every time I accidentally swipe into the camera from the lock screen (on any phone) I can audibly hear the screams of dozens of apps that were just chillin in the background, then mercilessly killed to make room for the beast that is the camera app
‘This is a good way of allowing them to back out & retaining the Quote feature.
Bluesky continues to do some really interesting stuff — from new things like Starter Packs, to rethinking established norms of social media platforms. I hope it succeeds.’
👋 @matt thanks for doing such a solid job on your ActivityPub support.
One thing I noticed when testing profiles in browser.pub is that the 'publicKey' term is appearing in the unknown term area
https://browser.pub/https://write.as/matt/
I think that's due to the security context not being included in the context object (first image), is that something you can fix? Should look something like the second image

yes 👍

👋 @julian, can you add "https://w3id.org/security/v1" to your ActivityPub context?
e.g. from: "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams"
to: "@context": [ "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams", "https://w3id.org/security/v1" ]
in: https://browser.pub/https://community.nodebb.org/ (json tab)
the 'publicKey' term is not defined in activitystreams
so the new and improved Apple Podcasts web app was released on Aug 19th - has it affected download stats?
taking a look at daily stats from https://op3.dev
maybe a _little_ bump on launch day
