@benpate Nice! And thank you for the shout-out, I don't really think I did anything to help though! @ethicalrevolution

@JuxGD @light Awesome, and thank you!Please give it a shot, and let me know how it works for you? Bandwagon is still new enough to be very responsive to new needs, and I’d love to make sure it fits you precisely.

Based on a (super fun) conversation earlier today, I've added a privacy policy to Bandwagon.fm at: https://bandwagon.fm/privacyIt's based on Mastodon's policy, with minor changes due to technical differences in the two apps.I hope this properly represents the spirit of the project, which is to empower artists, put them in control of their data, and to reject all tracking technologies, ad-tech, surveillance capitalism, and the like.If I've missed anything, or fallen short, please let me know.

@BrianJohnson Yes, I think that's how it works now. Definitely a Mastodon thing, and probably similar across the Fediverse.I think we've gotten sidetracked, so enthralled by the way things *are* that we've stopped imagining how they *could be*On my laptop right now are the larval stages of a search index that you can "Follow" just like any other actor.Different search queries would serve you a different version of that actor, letting you follow in real time anything in search index.

@ill_logic I'm gonna blame Mastodon (mostly) for not backfilling things. It's certainly possible to browse someone's existing library (or outbox) to see what they've posted in the past.At scale, it's just a really hard task, so I think they made the decision to only import data from when they start following you.

@julian @benpate Oh definitely sounds like internal politics, thanks for the info! Hard to find good sources for this kind of information as #Mastodon is still somewhat small

I've posted some updates to my original PR here: https://codeberg.org/benpate/fep/src/branch/fep-3b86/fep/3b86/fep-3b86.mdI'm pretty pleased with these changes. I think it alleviates some of the confusion, and it locks down the specific parameters that each intent would accept.. which, addresses one of my specific pain points with ActivityStreams in general.Let me know if this new revision makes sense to you? I *really* appreciate the attention you've given this so far; it's already far better because of your feedback@trwnh @silverpill

@LucaManciniDrummer @n00qThis set of #Emissary templates is ready for developers, but not regular users just yet. I’m actually sitting at my desk right now working on band profile pages, and I hope to post another video with more progress really soon.You can check out Emissary at https://emissary.dev and follow my feed to see when this band profile is ready.I’m thinking I might even offer hosting for it if I get some interest in that. 

@jupiter_rowland Gotcha. Thanks. I'm going to keep watching this, because it seems like a great idea.And remember: This just started as me publishing the URLs I know about. I'm not the official gatekeeper of anything.But I do want to be careful about linking to APIs that might expose users/sites to attack.I'm not saying that OpenWebAuth does, just that I couldn't find any resolution to the issues other devs raised. I'm hoping to learn more about this one as the FEP progresses.
