new project sunday... the school rules engine.

i'm going to rewrite all of the logic for handling fediverse activities in kistec as rules, and then expose a simple ui for managing those rules so that users can more easily customize their instance. want to change what shows up in the timeline? no problem!

SUPERHOT was short and sweet.

that’s not how i was supposed to say it…

aaaaand i've tagged the v1.0.0 release of ktistec! 🎉 🎊 🥂

the last push was for greater compatibility with other fediverse servers—it took quite a bit of yak-shaving to get it done.

i also released a docker image if you want to try it out:

docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 toddsundsted/ktistec:latest

enjoy!

#ktistec

support indy artists!

i've tested ktistec compatibility with:

• mastodon
• peertube
• pixelfed
• lemmy
• write.as

many things work—follows in both directions and creating/updating notes (AKA toots, etc.)—but there's lots of room for improvement. lemmy, for example, announces activities instead of forwards activities. i'm working on 1.0, but in the next major release, i'll build server-specific extensions to handle more of these kind of issues.

i created a few issues in other repos:

• https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3049
• https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/3050

and worked around a few issues that haven't quite rolled out:

• https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/1962

and made many other concessions for compatibility.

#activitypub #ktistec

once you've seen one activitypub implementation, you've seen one activitypub implementation.

i just wrapped up a whole lot of interoperability work for ktistec. bottom line, you can't just read and implement the activitypub spec et al and expect anything to federate with your implementation. your best bet, in fact, is to doggedly copy the mastodon implementation, right down to the braces and brackets—since every other implementation is at least shooting for mastodon compatibility—and then work from there.

to be fair, about half of the fixes were arguably due to bugs in my own code. but seriously lemmy, why do you require the json-ld context to be a list, even when the context is defined by a single URL...?
