GoToSocialLads lads lads lads!Here's the first release candidate for v0.20.0 of <a href="https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a>! If you're feeling bold, you can try this release candidate and help us find any lingering bugs before we release v0.20.0 proper!<a href="https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.20.0-rc1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.20.0-rc1</a>Please read the migration notes carefully for instructions on how to upgrade to this version.The migrations in this release are quite long (can take several hours, even!), as we had to rethread the entire statuses table to handle the new way we cache status threads (and to improve timeline performance). Please plan downtime accordingly, and most importantly hang in there and don't be tempted to interrupt the migration process!Please also pay particular attention to the metrics changes, as we've significantly changed the way that metrics exposure is configured, so you will likely have to adjust your setup if you use GtS Prometheus metrics. For more information on the new way of doing things, look through this document: <a href="https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/metrics/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/advanced/metrics/</a>Release highlights<ul><li>Big refactor of timeline code to use less memory and be (hopefully!) more responsive and less error prone.</li><li>Support for scheduled statuses!</li><li>Support for the focal point property on the frontend + over federation, so you can set focal point on your media and have it work properly!</li><li>Notifications when a status you've interacted with has been edited.</li><li>ListenBrainz widget on the frontend, so you can show off the music you've been listening to (<a href="https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#profile-fields" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/user_guide/settings/#profile-fields</a>)</li><li>Instance info panel in the settings, so that non-admins on the instance can see which domains are blocked and explicitly allowed, and the reason why.</li><li>Bunch of new themes for profile views!</li><li>Config option to expose emoji endpoints without authentication -- useful for compatibility with some clients. Default value still requires authentication.</li><li>Footnotes in markdown!</li><li>Configurable thumbnail dimensions.</li><li>Federation of avatar + header image descriptions is handled now, both in + out of GtS.</li><li>The new <code>hidesToPublicFromUnauthedWeb</code> and <code>hidesCcPublicFromUnauthedWeb</code> are federated in and out now, allowing your instance and other instances that support these properties to transmit + respect preferences for the visibility of posts to render on the unauthenticated (public) web view of threads.</li><li>Support for avif file format.</li><li>JSON logging format, for easier log ingestion.</li><li>Atom and JSON feed support for RSS (not just xml).</li><li>Reworked metrics format, more + better metrics, and an importable example grafana dashboard.</li><li>Domain permission subscription retractions are now handled properly.</li><li>Probably a lot more! See below!</li></ul>Thanks for reading!

AndiS 🌞🍷🇪🇺A friendly reminder for all who are looking for an alternative to gup.pe because it has apparently been taken over by new and/or unknown entities.tootgroup.py offers group functionality for Mastodon, Pleroma, GotoSocial and probably others (albeit untested). All you need is an account that acts as your group and some computer running Python that regularily connects to it.Its written by me, easy, lightweight and most importantly, not dependant on a third party service.Howto and Download from its Github Page: <a href="https://github.com/oe4dns/tootgroup.py" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://github.com/oe4dns/tootgroup.py </a><a href="https://fed.sonnenmulde.at/search?tag=fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://fed.sonnenmulde.at/search?tag=groups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#groups</a> <a href="https://fed.sonnenmulde.at/search?tag=mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mastodon</a> <a href="https://fed.sonnenmulde.at/search?tag=pleroma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pleroma</a> <a href="https://fed.sonnenmulde.at/search?tag=gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gotosocial</a> <a href="https://fed.sonnenmulde.at/search?tag=selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfhosting</a>

AJ SadauskasQuestion for <a href="https://gts.sadauskas.id.au/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> folks: Is it possible to have different timeline layouts for different accounts on the same server?

JonWell, after 3 days of messing around I have admitted defeat. <a href="https://retrochat.online/tags/GoToSocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> almost works, but the missing features and flakey https encryption mean I have reverted back to mastodon and my new home on retrochat.onlineSee bio for stuff I’ll be using this account for.

GoToSocialHello everyone!We've just made a bugfix update for <a href="https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> v0.19.x, here's v0.19.2 Most Seditious of Sloths:<a href="https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.19.2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.19.2</a>This release does exactly one thing compared to v0.19.1: we fixed an issue with interaction policy parsing that made GtS users unable to reply to people on instances that use the <code>canQuote</code> interaction sub-policy (such as the newest Mastodon code).The release is specifically for people on v0.19.x or below. If you're already on latest main / snapshot / nightly or whatever you want to call it, stay there.Please read the release notes carefully for instructions on how to update to this release.As with v0.19.1, the release contains trans + queer pride flags in the footer HTML. If you need to remove these because you're in a place where it's dangerous to show such flags, there's a way to do so in the migration notes.Thanks for reading!Ps. v0.20.0 is still a few weeks out, we just wanted to get this bugfix release out now because Mastodon will be updating to use <code>canQuote</code> soon, and we didn't want people's interactions with folks on Mastodon to break.

⁂ KalebRecently I got sufficiently annoyed at authoring posts in two places so that they were visible both here and on <a href="https://haugenh.us/now.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">HaugenHus: Now</a> – this is also in part because I prefer to write in Markdown which <a href="https://docs.gotosocial.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">GoToSocial</a> handles marvellously – that I decided to start looking at options. Of course there are many, but I chose to pursue an exclusively client-side solution with a static pageset to lighten the load on my little Raspberry Pi.I landed on a solution built on HTMX + GoToSocial:RSS + XSLT which can be seen on <a href="https://haugenh.us/xsltTest.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">HaugenHus: XSLT Test</a>, but was horrified to find that after 26 years Firefox hasn’t managed to solve for HTML within an XML <code><![CDATA[]]></code> node. Of course it’s easy to get frustrated with a second-rate browser like Firefox 😁 – WebKit all the way baby! – but why bother when someone else has keep the flame war burning for 24 years <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98168" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bug 98168</a> 🤣. Of course with every ugly battle there are some heroes, and <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/user_profile?user_id=289936" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Scott Trenda</a> was clearly one of these both offering a viable workaround and serving as a calm voice of reason.So with a viable workaround to my XSLT woes, why haven’t I finished this little project? Well, there are two reasons: the first is that a workaround should never be allowed to become a permanent solution; and secondly, my WebKit enthusiasm may have been misplaced. It turns out that the fine folks over at Apple – <a href="https://hachyderm.io/@annevk" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@annevk</a> – have <a href="https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11523#issuecomment-3149280766" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">expressed interest</a> in killing my XSLT dreams 🥺.With all of that said, what I found most interesting about this whole thing is that while I have been aware of XSLT for years, I unknowingly decided to play with it just as a storm appears to be brewing. Eventually I will get over my desire to minimize my dependence on JavaScript, but until then I’m sure there many other ways to solve this problem. I might just need to change the constraints.(Maybe @gotosocial@superseriousbusiness.org would give us <a href="https://www.jsonfeed.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">JSON Feed</a> . . . feature request incoming after a bit more research 🤓.)Additional Reading<a href="https://thenewstack.io/xslt-debate-leads-to-bigger-questions-of-web-governance/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">XSLT Debate Leads to Bigger Questions of Web Governance</a><a href="https://fedi.haugenh.us/tags/now" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Now</a> <a href="https://fedi.haugenh.us/tags/xslt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#XSLT</a> <a href="https://fedi.haugenh.us/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> <a href="https://fedi.haugenh.us/tags/webkit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WebKit</a> <a href="https://fedi.haugenh.us/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GoToSocial</a> <a href="https://fedi.haugenh.us/tags/htmx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HTMX</a> <a href="https://fedi.haugenh.us/tags/rss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSS</a> <a href="https://fedi.haugenh.us/tags/jsonfeed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JSONFeed</a>
