@mama21mama Initially only "Public combined" timeline is created. If you want to see and sync Public timeline of concrete server: 1. Turn "Combined" on in the Navigation Drawer 2. Switch to account on that server/"instance" 3. Turn "Combined" off. Now you see Public Timeline of that instance (not synced yet) 4. Tap "Sync with Internet" in the Action bar to sync the Public timeline. https://quitter.no/attachment/898367
@rozzin You provided URL for one of more than 20 APIs (actions/requests...), which should work properly in order to tell that "it is supported". Last year I created the task for AndStatus to "Use Activity Streams API for GNU Social", please read: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/378 But after initial discussion, including here in GNU Social, I've got that actually no full-featured client exists that uses ActivityStreams json APIs and hence it would be naïve to assume that the API "works". No GNU Social developer told me: "Just start implementation from your side, I will add and fix, what will be needed, at the GNU Social server side". In fact, very annoying bug / deficiency in the "search" of the "supported" Twitter-compatible API stays not even commented by developers for 7 months https://git.gnu.io/gnu/gnu-social/issues/206 I guess now you understand, why I think that ActivityStreams json format is not supported (cannot tell about AtoPub...) @kris
@archaeme Implementation of ActivityStreams-based client API for GNU Social could potentially reduce fragmentation, if implemented at least similarly to how it was done in Pump.io. This could lead to logical (at least from User's point of view) merge of GS and Pump.io instances in one "socialverse"... ?! @gargron @dtluna @thefaico @tchncs @smartwater @maiyannah
@archaeme Good luck to you and wish you not to "disappear", when problems arise :-) Creation of just "different" API damages community, which doesn't have enough resources to support even existing ones... @thefaico @tchncs @smartwater @dtluna @gargron
@archaeme I would be happy if API of Mastodon was better than "Twitter compatible" that GS clients use. Unfortunately, it is just different and as bad as the former. As I wrote, "What I cannot understand is creation in 2016 a system and its API, using approaches of the past, for which we already have far better implementation concepts. Usage of URIs/GUIDs is one of them." More details - in this discussion: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/419 @thefaico @tchncs @smartwater
@rozzin We are talking about client API. It's "Twitter compatible" and there are no "Activity streams" there yet. BTW AndStatus does support Activity Streams API to connect to Pump.io.
@kris Filters don't prevent messages from being downloaded. Filters only hide these messages from a Timeline. But you will still see them in the Conversation view. @thefaico
@kris In order to hide notifications on favorited messages: Go to AndStatus Settings -> Filters -> "Hide messages based on keywords or exact phrases". And type in double quotes this: "favorited something by".
@vloev I remember our conversation on a proper name for a "GNU Social instance", Twitter and Pump.io from a client application's (AndStatus) point of view. And you know, each GNU Social instance _today_ is a Social network AND the whole Pump.io is ONE Social network (although it also has federated architecture). Because each Social network has its own Users and messages. Yes, Twitter-like client API of GNU Social leads to inability to see a federation as one Social network. More on this in this API discussion: https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/419 @sim
@denommus Yes, we Filters for this: Example of usage: In order to hide notifications on favorited messages: Go to AndStatus Settings -> Filters -> "Hide messages based on keywords or exact phrases". And type in double quotes this: "favorited something by".
@tobi @schwrzt Since AndStatus v.27 custom syncable Search timelines implemented. So now in order to have a separate timeline for a GNU Social group, you can create e.g. a Search ”!gnusocial" timeline and make it syncable. The same for hashtags and any other search query. "Manage timelines" in a Timeline menu...
