[timothy_chambe] This Federated TikTok alternative looks pretty together for an early alpha....
#
[timothy_chambe] Early alpha

#
[timothy_chambe] Our goal is to build a free open source social platform for sharing

#
Loqi hey [timothy_chambe]: would you mind moving this conversation (open source, federated) to #indieweb-dev? thanks!
#
[timothy_chambe] https://goldfish.social/i/home
#
[timothy_chambe] We are still in very early development and this is our official test server."
#
gRegor I think that's on topic for here, dev-type words aside :)
#
gRegor Have you tried it yet [timothy_chambe]?
#
gRegor I saw the accounts in the "Explore" sidebar with 845k followers and thought that's a lot for an alpha. Looks like it's a mockup, though, links are 404 haha

aaronpk "open source" isn't a user-facing feature šŸ™ƒ
#
gRegor Sure, I just meant discussing goldfish.social itself

cambridgeport90[ I'm a little late to the party, I see.
#
GWG cambridgeport90[: There was a party?
#
cambridgeport90[ If there was, then I missed it. Because appservice kicked me from here... I have just as many chat servers joined including this one, as I do Discord servers, so... I probably forgot to come up here a whole lot.
#
cambridgeport90[ Until I realized that I was missing a huge pile of updates in the last week or two.

[tonz] Is anyone here aware of open web work on social graph as discovery mechanism, or some other use? I notice https://indieweb.org/social_graph is a stub last edited 6 yrs ago. E.g. connecting up published blogrolls? Iā€™m aware of some ā€™00s academic work on visualising social graphs based on cross-blog conversations. Any other pointers you are aware of?

pmlnr SMTP, as protocol, because from the time it's from, has the idea that if the receiving server is off, the sender will retry later, and will do that for the configured time, at certain intervals (usually ~3 days). That is built into the protocol, unlike with HTTP.
#
pmlnr So I was wondering that with ideas like https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/ which goes to sleep if it runs out of power, it'd be nice to have some kind of notice that "HTTP 599 ssssshh, the site is sleeping", but then it's can't be the site, given it's asleep.
#
pmlnr But what it could be is, for example, a DNS TXT record that indicates the site might sometimes temporary go offline. Thoughts?
