Good morning Fedi friends!

It's been 99 days since I started self-hosting my own Fediverse instances. Crazy how time flies!

I've been a bit absent from here this week because I started exploring the world of #PeerTube from the POV of a creator.

I just set up my own account on #MakerTube - so that I can write a guide that is accessible to many (as opposed to skipping this step and going straight to self-hosting).

Anyway, here is my PeerTube account: makertube.net/a/elena/video-ch…

I have been able to follow it from #Mastodon and #Friendica without a problem, but I keep getting an error message when I try to subscribe with my #GoToSocial username. The exact message: "Cannot fetch information from this remote account." Does anybody have the same issue? (as in: people on GoToSocial, can you subscribe to PeerTube channels?)

Wishing you all a lovely day 🌞​

P.S.: about to go offline for the rest of the day because... there's no pre-school in France on Wednesdays and the garderie keeps my little one up until 12:30. So apologies in advance if I'm slow to reply to messages.

Bookface 1.6 introduces a new feature called "Postboxes" that allows you to create a post with a colorful background like a similar feature on Facebook. It's built into the Bookface scheme, but I also created TWO add-ons for Friendica if a server administrator wants to roll it out for all of their users regardless of what theme they prefer.

Postbox: simply adds a minified stylesheet to the head with the Postbox styling. It doesn’t add any interface for creating a Postbox, but users can still create them manually with BBcode.

Zen Postbox: adds the minified stylesheet to the head, but also adds a tool to the post composer to insert a Postbox or wrap selected text in one.

To manually create a Postbox just wrap your text in the Postbox class BBcode like this:

[class=postbox-redblue]Text that will be wrapped[/class]

Make sure to PREVIEW it before you post it! While Friendica's Postboxes do allow more content than just plain text, certain formatting blocks can't be placed inside them.

If everything looks good, go ahead an POST it. Anyone using Bookface or any server using either the "Postbox" or "Zen Postbox" add-ons will see it like this:

If the "Zen Postbox" add-on is enabled it adds a button for wrapping/inserting a Postbox to the post editor:

Full Documentation of the "Zen Postbox" add-on is available as a GitLab Wiki.

Keep in mind that other servers that don't implement Postbox styling, other platforms (like Mastodon), and third-party apps will not show these colored backgrounds. This feature only works in the Friendica webapp/website.

Friendica: Welchen Sinn macht die Option Öffentlichen Beiträge für anonymen Besucher zu sperren?

Es gibt bei den Einstellungen folgende Option die es ermöglicht anonymen Besuchern der Webseite den Zugriff auf die öffentlich eingestellten Beiträge zu verweigern.

Für mich persönlich ist das durchaus sinnvoll, da ich meine Beiträge ja fürs Fediverse und nicht für Google und Co. schreibe. Nun stellt sich aber dennoch die Sinnfrage, wenn ca. 80 Prozent der eigenen Kontakte eine Plattform (Mastodon) nutzen die die Beiträge nicht korrekt darstellen und den ursprünglichen Beitrag auch nicht inline laden kann. Deren Nutzer also darauf angewiesen sind anonym über den Server auf der der Beitrag erstellt wurde darauf zuzugreifen.

Wie geht Ihr damit um? Welche Lösungen habt Ihr dafür gefunden?
