@silverpill @mkljczk @ce (p.s. reacting with remote custom emoji is in a direly unspecified position that only manages to federate by sheer luck. since I believe you wrote up the custom emoji FEP you may want to take a look at that too)
i'd go into the socialhub discussion myself but a) i can't be bothered with setting up yet another account for a place and protocol i'm extremely disillusioned with, and b) there's some federation incompat with discourse and this instance i need to look into at some point

@mkljczk @ce @kopper Yeah, people are working on it and there are many proposals. Some of them are just ideas, others are waiting for implementers: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep -
@mkljczk @ce @kopper Yeah, people are working on it and there are many proposals. Some of them are just ideas, others are waiting for implementers: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep@silverpill @mkljczk @ce my personal grumble with FEPs (and i guess the socialhub-sphere as a whole) is how much useless bikeshedding over irrelevant details happens.
take the emoji reactions FEP for example: it's a feature that already exists and is federating by the second largest FOSS implementation, yet the socialhub discussion immediately turned to breaking backwards compatibility because "wouldn't it be better if you could Dislike with a reaction????". honestly, misskey's Like-with-content was nothing but a hack to make mastodon happy and baking that into the standard just because Semantics just misses the whole mark here. like, is a :silica_gel: reaction a Like or a Dislike? how do you decide on that? How about (genuine) and (ironic)?
Another example is FEP-fb2a, which breaks both backwards compatibility and also breaks assumptions about Note objects some instance software might have (how would your usual microblogging software handle a Note with no author?), just because of useless Semantics debates that don't end up leading anywhere useful
i myself (with both my own implementation and the impl i'm currently using on this instance and am occasionally contributing to) have just tuned the socialhub circle out due to this mess, aside from occasionally picking and choosing the occasional good idea (FEP-2c59 and FEP-e232, for example) -
anyway, a couple of years ago (2019) I designed a protocol called Rapunzel, which is an actor-oriented protocol that describes mutations to ring logs. it is basically "activitypub meets kafka": you can publish additions to a ring log (which can then b...@ariadne what do i need to search to get more info about what you call ring logs? searching for "ring log" does not seem to produce anything useful

BrowserPub: A browser for debugging #ActivityPub and the ⁂fediverse@js agreeing with @privateger here that detection is futile. you'll have to keep track of every single fedi instance software that exists or will exist just to make it work. the tool can't fetch my profile, for example
and given this is intended to be a "debugging" tool, waiting until software gets allowlisted to work properly really detracts from the usability of it -
