#HatTip to the @fdroid threadiverse community, and others, for offering such rapid and thorough clarifications. Many thanks to @lnxw37a2 @hildegarde @alienghic @plm00 @Axolotl_cpp.

Thanks also to @tootbrute @kurikai for offering suggestions for other soft keyboard apps, and to @snek_boi for reminding me to format the first sentence of my Mastodon post so it becomes a good title in the threadiverse post.

Seems I was going off half-cocked, out of an overabundance of caution. #MeaCulpa. I thought it would be worse if I ignored my strypey-senses tingling and said nothing, then it turned out it was compromised.

We need to be cautious in this age of copious vibe coding;

I do think @fdroid crew need to do due diligence when apps appear to be abandoned, then revived. They probably do, but any links to policies and processes on this would be a great way to put my mind at rest.

BTW @rimu, my apologies again for unloading on you with both barrels last night. I stand by my objection to the way Stanton was being dogpiled, but in hindsight I was just as merciless to you as I saw people being to him. Which was not only hypocritical, but *not* good de-escalation on my part, quite the opposite.

I’ve got some intense stuff going on of late, and struggling with sleep dep. But that’s my problem and my responsibility, not yours, or anyone else’s. I hope you can accept my apology

@artyom
> Cool, I just installed a new version of CoMaps!

This strikes me as a chatbot style reply, chatty and positive, but completely out of context. Your profile doesn’t flag you as a bot, which is the convention in the fediverse.

If you are a bot, your operator needs to state that clearly in your profile, or will fall foul of @rimu. Who takes a dim view of such things, and rightly so.

If you are a human, context is king! Love your enthusiasm, but might have been better as its own post ; )

@snek_boi
> [post title] appears truncated.

I need to remember when posting from Mastodon that the first Y characters of my post are used by @LemmyDev communities as the post title : P Truth is, many people won’t even know they are also posting to the threadiverse.

I get that this title automation is better than no title. But are post titles editable by community mods, so they can remove truncated text and clarify as needed? If not, that might be a good feature.

@snek_boi
> So that your title is read easily, you may consider editing it

Thanks for pulling me up on that, done. Also noted Linux Walt’s clarification, based on the version on his device. Hopefully you can see my reply to him.

@sga
> there is an option to use syncthing for syncing to other devices

Intriguing, is this built into the app itself? I gave SyncThing a solid try and it failed on me pretty badly, in a number of ways. Also didn’t the mobile app get abandoned some time ago?

I’ll install it and kick the tires at least.

> the notes files are plain text

That’s definitely a good feature. Getting this from my existing notes app requires a manual export.

@sga
> fossify apps?

That was about half of them.

Mental note: must donate to Team Fossify. I’m deeply grateful to them for continuing the Simple Apps as un-enshittified Free Code, and I use heaps of them every day. If they had a notes app (ideally one compatible with NextCloud), I’d use that every day too (hint, hint).

@drone509
> This had always worked for me in Newpipe

*does a little dance*

Did the integration with BC links in other apps work as I described using NP?

@sonalder
> Nostr and Fediverse are not incompatible

True. They’re just different models for providing decentralised social services. If there’s a social app in F-Droid that can handle Nostr identities as well as ActivityPub accounts, that would fit my needs just as well as a Nostr-only app. In fact, better.

@cypherpunks
> i see the images in my comment didn’t federate to mastodon

No, they didn’t. Had a look. Nice one 👍👍

The missing images on my end is something to ask about on SocialHub tomorrow, so the Lemmy and Mastodon teams can debug and fix it. Mastodon posts can include images, so in theory there’s no reason it can’t be made to work.

@cypherpunks
@frongt
> this is a Lemmy community

And Lemmy is part of the fediverse. Also, cows are mammals. Did you have a point to make or are we just stating the obvious for the lulz?

@PriorityMotif
> The other community !dullsters@dullsters.net is in fact marmite.

Follows @Dullsters …

EDIT: tries. Fails. Hmmm. How dull …

EDIT 2: Return of the Edit Pyre: Now it’s working. Weird.

@verity_kindle
> It was a vintage machine that belonged to my Pop-Pop

Did Pop-Pop make you toast?

@verity_kindle
> My bread machine just died after years of faithful service. Miss it immensely

Sorry for your loss. I know it’s insensitive to ask whether you’ll replace it. Too soon. But I do want to reassure you that you’ll taste fresh bread again one day, when you’re ready : P

@Judeet99
> Did you use a butter knife for the butter and a separate knife for the other spreads? This is important

Indeed. I cleaned the knife in between each spreads, so while it was technically the same knife, it was metaphysically a new knife each time.

@rglullis
> places.pub is a service that makes OpenStreetMap geographical data available as ActivityPub objects

Great!

“It is a project of the Social Web Foundation”

https://places.pub/

Cool.

“If you want to run your own instance, you need to use Google Cloud Run functions or a compatible service (if those exist).”

Goggle dependent? Really?!?

"Duckquill has built in support for loading Mastodon comments see (the example on the theme site), given the link where you posted it. But I don’t much care for Mastodon …

I prefer Lemmy, where you don’t really care about followers, as long as your content is good and posted to right community(ies). So I made my own."

https://blog.coship.fyi/blog/lemmy-comments/

Well, I’m going to reply from a Mastodon account anyway. So there : P

#Zola #DuckBill

Well that worked, I can see my reply as a comment on both Lemmy.nz (where I found the thread) and on https://lemmy.eco.br where @P4ulin_Kbana is posting.

Now someone reply, I want to see if this works.

@P4ulin_Kbana @x00z

@P4ulin_Kbana
> I’ve heard it’s (currently) impossible to post on Mastodon with a Lemmy account due to how both are differently built, unless you’re referring to seeing a Lemmy discussion from Mastodon

I’m trying to reply to this with a Mastodon account. I’ll be interested to see if it appears in the discussion on Lemmy instances, and if replies to it from Lemmy appear in my @mentions here.
