Grrr! I'm so frustrated at #WriteFreely. It's refusing to work and despite seeing various different people with the same problem, I'm not seeing solutions. Software shouldn't be so hard just to get running.
[edit: już po sprawie, dzięki za boosty, użyję writefreely.pl] Jakie publiczne instancje #Writefreely są na ten moment godne polecenia? Chcę coś na szybko postawić i hostować tam aktualizowaną listę, ale nie chciałbym, żeby zniknęło za pół roku.
Nel 2024, per la prima volta, si ha finalmente la sensazione di avere una massa critica di persone e piattaforme interessate a ridare vita a Internet per riportare in vita ciò che abbiamo perso e creare qualcosa di nuovo. Solo nell'ultima settimana ci sono state conversazioni fra #Mastodon, #Flipboard, #TheVerge, #Buttondown, #WriteFreely e diversi co-autori della specifica #ActivityPub. C'è la sensazione palpabile che questo possa essere l'anno del web aperto!

Is there a “I want #quotes in #Mastodon” button that I can hit somewhere?
Seriously, it’s holding everything and everybody behind.
Context: I’ve decided to play with some tighter interaction between my #Akkoma social feed and my #WriteFreely blog.
I can now write long posts in a more blog-friendly format on @fabio. Then leverage the Fediverse integration to quote them from my main handle.
My Akkoma post can add a TL;DR and a bunch of hashtags. And the quoted message has a nice “Read more“ link that can expand the blog post for those who want to read it directly on their timeline.
Amazing, right?
Well, just look how nicely it’s rendered on my Akkoma instance, and how Mastodon renders it instead.
A cryptic RE: https://my.write.freely/api/posts/post-id that doesn’t even render a preview nor anything.
The cryptic version is the way that >75% of the people who use the Fediverse will see on their timelines.
No matter how much progress other implementations decide to do. No matter how sophisticated their UX. If the major implementation decides that quotes will never be a thing, we’re kind of stuck in the state where JavaScript could do amazing things on Firefox, but most of the folks used IE, so the party was ruined for everybody else too.
Since I've gotten exactly one webmention for my blog, I obviously had to put some work in to display this webmention on my blog. 😄 Had to do some reading to figure out how to make Hugo download external resources, but otherwise it was pretty smooth sailing. Much thanks to https://webmention.io/. Still not implemented sending webmentions yet though.
@henrikjernevad Looks like I'd need to add IndieAuth support to my (WriteFreely) web site before I could use webmention.io. Probably not worth the effort.
For federated comments on @write_as, I'm gonna start with just exposing Remark.as comments to the fediverse. This should at least get the basic data there, though you still won't receive replies from Mastodon etc.
Then I'll work on receiving replies from the wider fediverse, and finally moderation tools. We'll see how it looks with replies showing up in the Remark.as UI, and then maybe move to showing comments on blog posts themselves.
Made a bunch of progress on this today — now we're accepting and tracking the number of likes you get from the #fediverse on @write_as!
It's just not displayed anywhere. So that's the question — where do you want to see the number of likes you've received?
I know many people use #WriteFreely / Write.as to avoid likes and normal social media stuff. So should we just display the number on your stats page? Only to you on the post (e.g. next to "views")? Only in social spaces like Read.Write.as?
OK, trying a new un-corporate host for my blogs. Here is my first post, a poem. Please support my change from Medium to WriteFreely by visiting and helping me promote:
I think we should slightly rethink how login works on most Fediverse apps (Mastodon, Lemmy, but not only)
A while ago I posted a thread back on the...
