S.R. Weaver<p>Also if anybody knows of a decentralized <a href="https://comics.town/tags/pinterest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pinterest</span></a> alternative, or if <a href="https://comics.town/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a> goes live, let me know.</p>
dragfyre<p>I haven't had a lot of spare time for big projects lately (sorry <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a>). But with the little spare time that I do have, I've been puttering with a little idea for a daily word-guessing puzzle game to be deployed on <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Gemini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gemini</span></a> (the <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/smolweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smolweb</span></a> protocol, not the AI). I've actually got a proof-of-concept going with most of the gameplay basics working, and it seems pretty fun. The bulk of the work that remains is editing the clues for grammar, which is not so fun, but hey, gotta do it. :P</p>
Something beginning with R<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://wetdry.world/@drosophiliac" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>drosophiliac</span></a></span> I really like Pinterest. I wish it was fedi-friendly, but maybe one day we’ll have <a href="https://geekdom.social/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a></p><p><a href="https://codeberg.org/pinetta/pinetta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">codeberg.org/pinetta/pinetta</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Although probably not, going by the level@of activity. 😢</p>
dragfyre<p>To be honest, the problem is a lot more pronounced with media sharing than with microblogging. I wonder if that's one reason why there's been a lot more proliferation of microblogging sites on Fedi versus media sharing sites - running your own instance involves a greater investment to handle streaming and storage.</p><p>Media storage is going to be an issue for <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a> too; it's a can that we've been kicking down the road for a while now.</p>

Par contre, même si en "stand by" depuis quelques mois, <a href="https://framapiaf.org/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a> promet lui la fédération 🤓</p>
dragfyre<p>BTW: No, it's not dead (<a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a> that is). Had a long hiatus due to IRL business, and since this is more or less at the level of a hobby project for me, it got shifted to the back burner. A few other people are involved as of now, but all of us are busy. As well, one big problem for me is the lack of a good-quality dev environment: What I have right now is really best for puttering, and not much more. So, as we often say, watch this space. <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/fediDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fediDev</span></a></p>
dragfyre<p>Been hard to keep working on <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a> lately. A combination of getting stuck with the limitations of my potato computer and the learning curve required to get going (using a remote development environment OR rebuilding a better development environment from scratch). Developer's block? :P <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/dev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dev</span></a></p>
dragfyre<p>Been trying to move forward with adding pins to <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a>. @amthecoat has been great, getting <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/devOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>devOps</span></a> set up as we transition over to postgres. Only trouble is my potato computer won't build a usable version of compose 😭 oh well, we'll get this eventually. I do have <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/postgres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>postgres</span></a> installed on its own on the box... shouldn't it be possible to set things up to use that instead of running it in a container? 🤔</p>

We've also been discussing coops for <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a>.</p>
P Stewart<p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://sb17.space/@j4yc33" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>j4yc33</span></a></span> I haven't personally poked at it yet but <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a> is aiming to fill that general niche.</p>
Pinetta<p><span>There's been plenty of buzz lately surrounding </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Meta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meta</a><span> connecting to the </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a><span> through </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/ActivityPub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ActivityPub</a><span>. As a </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/FOSS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a><span> project that hasn't yet shipped software that federates, we don't have too much to say yet. However, it's worth saying a few things about how </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Pinetta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pinetta</a><span> will federate, in general.<br><br>Briefly, Pinetta is a creative tool with social characteristics. Server admins will be able to operate in both "allow mode" and "deny mode"; they can choose to federate with everyone, a select few, or even no one. This means, for example, that you'll be able to use Pinetta as a fully functional Fediverse server open to large communities, or as a private server—for instance, in the context of a school where students might produce and share work with only the school's community of learners, staff, and selected guests. Even if you choose to federate with other servers, users will have fine-grained control over the reach and visibility of their posts, similar to the way </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Hometown" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hometown</a><span> and </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Calckey" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Calckey</a><span> users do. Essentially, we're aiming to make community safety as configurable as possible to meet the widest possible set of needs—including those of the most vulnerable people and communities.<br><br>As a project, we don't plan on hosting a central instance for very large numbers of users to use; for the time being, our goal is to gradually refine the software to allow it to respond to the needs of communities, and to foster the development of united, diverse and healthy communities based on respect and trust. Our aspiration is to serve humanity, whether it's by making a nice app or by creating human connections that allow good people to do good things together. We will amplify the voices of those who share these values and aspirations, and will work actively with collaborators everywhere to prevent harm.</span></p>
dragfyre<p>Avatars! <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Pinetta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pinetta</span></a></p><p>Still just a single-user app for the time being—and that's on purpose so that we can get federation and community safety right—but the basics are slowly coming together.</p><p>Totally not vaporware. <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebDev</span></a> cc <span class="h-card"><a href="https://fedi.software/@pinetta" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>pinetta</span></a></span></p>
Pinetta<p><span>This week, the </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Pinetta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pinetta</a><span> team has been busy on multiple fronts! Our </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Codeberg" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Codeberg</a><span> repos have been popping, with one feature branch (user model) closed and a new one (user avatars) opened, and progress made on a number of issues. We've also gathered feedback from </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/askFedi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#askFedi</a><span> to help us learn about people's experience with </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Pinterest" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pinterest</a><span>, which will help us set goals properly. Finally, our </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Matrix" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Matrix</a><span> channels have been busy as we collaborate both on the technical and community frameworks—and as we prepare to produce the first of several documents to express our collective vision and principles for the project.</span></p>
Pinetta<p><span>There's lots of talk right now about how </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Reddit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Reddit</a><span> alternatives such as </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Lemmy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lemmy</a><span>, </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/kbin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kbin</a><span> and </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Lotide" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Lotide</a><span> fit into the overall picture of the </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a><span>, with some calling these link-aggregation sites collectively the "Threadiverse". But how does </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Pinetta" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pinetta</a><span> fit into the mix?<br><br>Much like a link aggregator, Pinetta allows users to collect and comment on various things like links, text, images, video, and so on. In that sense, it will interact almost seamlessly with federated link aggregators. The main difference, of course, is in the user interface. Pinetta will have a number of modes that users can choose to display content:<br><br>- As a "feed" chronologically or ranked based on most engaging posts (based on favourites and boosts);<br>- As a "grid" similar to how </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Pixelfed" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pixelfed</a><span> displays images in profiles;<br>- As a "masonry" layout - much like how </span><a href="https://fedi.software/tags/Pinterest" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pinterest</a><span> displays pins by default;<br>- As a "mood board", which will allow users to arrange pins visually to their liking in a freeform 2D layout.<br><br>Like what you're reading? So do we. Give us a follow and star our repos on Codeberg to keep up with development!</span></p>
