@Friendica Support Is it possible to improve the main site of the project (friendi.ca)? I find it rather technical and low on images. It think, some usecase would be great in the upper part like: Hobbies: find likeminded people in public or private forums or in the global directory. Organisations: organise your group with images, calendars, forums. And so on... The technical details with access control lists and federation is not interesting to most (nontechnical) people.

I created a markdown for the content: daten.ma-nic.de/index.php/s/JG… If someone has more ideas, feel free to add things. The part for families/organisations is a bit light on content. I am looking for images for each of the usecases.

@Friendica Support

The API /account/verify_credentials shows an http error page "Unauthorized" when the password is wrong. I think it should return a JSON accoring to /help/api. Was that changed lately?

Librem5 daily driver challenge 4

I switched from Gnome Podcasts to Kasts. It has no OPML import yet, but a nice search function. There are far more options for episode handling and even a sync with a Nextcloud app! Gnome Podcasts becomes unusable after a while as there is no right click on the phone (which is needed for episode deletion, and there is no auto deletion!).

@Purism Where can I help with the translation of the #Librem5 GUI? And how do I get my app Friendiqa into the store?

I really love that GNOME Web/Epiphany, one of my favourite browsers, is also the default browser on #Librem5 .

Screen got blank, probably due to low power, but didn't react after plugged in. Took me some time to find out that you have to held down the power button for a whole 15-18 seconds to reboot!

@Friendica Support When I create a post via the twitter API and then want to see the conversation via /api/conversation/show, it says the conversation is not available (probably because it is still the old id, which is higher than the id in the Mastodon API). Worse still is the fact that the return error message is a html and not JSON!

@Friendica Support

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

Why is the internationalisation on #Librem5 that bad? Don't they use the translations from #GNOME.

Friendiqa version v0.6.5

I published a new version of Friendiqa, a mobile and Desktop app for Friendica (more info at friendiqa.ma-nic.de ).
The latest version fixes a bug for replies in Friendica 3/2022 . The image download from the gallery works again - yay!
There are also some additional emojis.

You need to remove your account and add it again, because the newsitem id changed in the API in Friendica 03/2022.

The app is available for Android, Linux (Arch Linux and a x86 Flatpak) and Linux Mobile (arm64 Flatpak).

Additional stuff from v0.6.4, if you missed that one:
* Search for new contacts (hashtags, names)
* Filter contacts
* many new emojis
* Rebuild contacts handling due to buggy Contacts API
* Removed permissions for new messages due to buggy Contacts API
* Sync all accounts in background (not only active)

Twitter API deprecated?

!developers In the last release, the old API became worse again. The api/friendica/notification is not existing anymore despite being in the documentation. The API /conversation/show have in_reply_to_I'd which make not sense. In the API /statuses/friends_timeline the news have three user objects which are all the same, even for reposts. For posts with embedded content the images are not in the attachments as was the case in earlier versions.

All this leads me to the conclusion, that these APIs are not in the developers focus, are not tested afterbchanges and degrade over time.

Are App developers required to use the Mastodon API?

Cheers, Marco

Michael Vogel 2 Jahre her • friendica (via ActivityPub)

In the last version we transformed the coding for the Twitter API and rebuilt them in the new class structure. I tested each endpoint as far as it was possible, but of course problems can occur.

Please report any issues.

Concerning the future: Currently the Mastodon- and the Twitter-API are using different id values for the items. This will eventually change. Then it will make sense to use all API flavours in a wild mix. It is not planned to deprecate the Twitter API. The opposite is true. It should be now possible to register via OAuth and to use any part of the API.

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

api/statuses/friends also returns strange values and mentions obviously also don't work for status posts 😕
I am not on github and cannot open issues there. In the current state of the API it does not make sense to publish a new version of Friendiqa with the Twitter API.

Michael Vogel 2 Jahre her • friendica (via ActivityPub)

I will need some list to work with.

Michael Vogel 2 Jahre her • friendica (via ActivityPub)

Although an issue would be nicer, you can of course also compile a list of the endpoints that behave differently and in which way. I will have a look at it.

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

I have created a list at git.friendi.ca/lubuwest/Friend…
But honestly, does it make sense to support so many different APIs with the limited developer ressources that Friendica has? In my opinion it would make sense to support only one set (probably the more advanced Mastodon set for messages with additional options like permissions) and an additional set for Friendica specific things like groups, photos, events,... I experienced difficulties with APIs after almost every release in the past, because the APIs are not in the developers focus.

Michael Vogel 2 Jahre her • friendica (via ActivityPub)

The "develop" branch now contains several fixes for the API. Can you test again?

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

Is that fix available at libranet.de?

Michael Vogel 2 Jahre her • friendica (via ActivityPub)

Further update: Most issues should be resolved now, please have a look here: github.com/friendica/friendica…

Concerning the bookmark functionality, please have a look at the endpoints of the Mastodon API. There we have the endpoints POST /api/v1/statuses/:id/bookmark and POST /api/v1/statuses/:id/unbookmark. The API endpoints are now interchangeable concerning the item id.

Please have in mind that you have to remove and re-add the account since the item id has changed.

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

Thank you, I have a look at the bookmark API. However, in Friendica 3/2022 replies to a post and retweets of a post don't seem to work. They probably refer to the old id. Can you confirm this?

Michael Vogel 2 Jahre her • friendica (via ActivityPub)

Good question.

Michael Vogel 2 Jahre her • friendica (via ActivityPub)

Fixed with github.com/friendica/friendica…

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

POST /api/v1/statuses/:id/bookmark and POST /api/v1/statuses/:id/unbookmark also don't work. They return a newsitem object, but bookmarked is always false and in the web frontend i don't see them bookmarked.

Michael Vogel 2 Jahre her • friendica (via ActivityPub)

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

Is May the planned date for the reply error? Then I should work around it with a new version of Friendiqa.

Michael Vogel 2 Jahre her • friendica (via ActivityPub)

It will be part of the next release. But it would be much better if you use a server with the develop branch, this speeds up development and tests.

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

Then I will publish a fixed version which uses the Mastodon API for replies until the next Friendica version. It makes no sense to have a Social Media App where the user cannot reply to a post.

@helpers The api /api/conversation/show returns strange values in the new Friendica version 02/2022. The in_reply_to_status_id returns a value that has no relation to any of the id in the conversation. ☹

Purism, whats wrong with your build process? The name of the program is gnome 42 (as required by apt), not gnome 46... ☟

#Librem5

#librem5

João Azevedo 2 Jahre her • mastodon (AP)

that package is part of a meta package called: librem5-base, that pulls default packages to be installed on a pureOS image for a Librem 5. And also sets some default configs.

It's not a gnome package per se.

Some of the packages that are installed using that metapackage are from gnome yes, but not all.

And that meta package; since it is not a gnome package, follows it's own version scheme.

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

It may be true, that they have other version schemes, but the repo says otherwise. An apt upgrade results with a 404 error for these packages, because it is looking for files with a 42 name.

João Azevedo 2 Jahre her • mastodon (AP)

What version of PureOS are you using: Amber or Byzantium? And on what hardware?

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

Now the upgrade went through. Probably I just updated at the wrong time. ☺

Marco R. 2 Jahre her friendica

It is Byzantium on a Librem5.
