i’m the canvas guy (!canvas@toast.ooo)
Mastodon - @grant@grants.cafe
Sometimes the canvas takes a bit to load
when the event goes live, it’ll be a website you can login to and place pixels
the login system sends a DM to your account with a code to verify your identity, no passwords are used
that’s strange, you might want to contact your instance admins then
hi i’m the guy behind canvas & also the admin on toast.ooo
last couple days i’ve been fixing things w/ my lemmy instance, but it should load now
(ik it’s like 4 days late lol)
for some reason this post didn’t get federated to toast, weird
July 12th, 2024 @ 4am UTC (the countdown is also on the website – https://canvas.fediverse.events)
oh shit i didn’t see this notification 😅
keep an eye out 👀
Oh hey it’s also toast’s 1 year as well 🎉
@user
works on all fediverse platforms, but !community
does not
i was proposing for this to be a possible solution to make it work across all existing platforms w/o requiring all the other platforms to support lemmy’s system
if using lemmy, it could automatically make this change
this would primarily be used by other fedi platforms to easily differentiate community & users
eg if i followed @sc07@group.toast.ooo
on mastodon it would for sure follow !sc07@toast.ooo and not @sc07@toast.ooo (an account with the same identifier)
but if you search a community up on another fedi platform, it won’t always pick the community or the user (if they have the same name)
as far as the other platforms know, there’s one actor but points to two different accounts
afaik the webfinger spec doesn’t allow for multiple actors having the same identifier, like how lemmy does it (here’s what gets returned when a username matches a community and user)
how I was thinking about it the instance owners would pick the subdomain the communities would be placed on, everything would still route through the main host but external interactions (like following a community) would be routed through the subdomain
eg for blahaj.zone’s lemmy instance it could be setup as users sending in @lemmy.blahaj.zone
and communities ending in @group.lemmy.blahaj.zone
or something like that
not every community would have it’s own subdomain, no
community actors would just have the hostname part be a different domain eg
users:
@UserA@toast.ooo
@UserB@toast.ooo
communities:
@CommunityA@group.toast.ooo
@CommunityB@group.toast.ooo
It appears that proton’s is only for them and they don’t offer it to other websites unfortunately
After taking a glance at the AppStore page for it, it looks like direct tipping/paywalled content instead of advertisements but I could be wrong
Tipping/paywalling seems like a step in the right direction, avoiding advertisements
Something that I’d love to see in a fediverse server that exposes the client-to-server standard of creating statuses instead of just the Mastodon API
Could you link to what instance it’s hosted on? (Eg !casualconversation@<instance>)
so that’s why it felt wrong typing that…
That site is so chalked full chock-full of ads that it made my phone incredibly warm wow
hackliberty.org still links to it, although it returns a service unavailable, so it looks unmaintained
Also the most recent forum post is about how covid is a hoax
Everything was rebooting, it should work now 👍
