Fragdev, same as ever. (And even if I did leave, it'd just be to go back to identi.ca. Not that I have any intention of doing so, though.)
-
@psquid What features does fragdev offer, and how does one go about joining?

@toksyuryel Nothing identi.ca doesn't, as far as I know. It was mostly born out of frustration with identi.ca's post-1.0-upgrade downtime.
-
@psquid Ah, I see. So, still limited post length compared to RDN then?

@toksyuryel 140, yeah. Mostly because truncated notices are a pain to deal with at the API level, so many instances follow identi.ca's lead.
-
@toksyuryel RDN's comparative lack of federation does at least afford a greater deal of freedom in that regard.
-
@psquid I'm not quite sure what that means. Is that just how many users are following remote users and groups? Or do you mean it is configured differently?

@toksyuryel Far fewer users take advantage of it. Thus, less concern about how notices come out remotely. Afaik, no config differences.
-
@psquid I see. Interesting.

@toksyuryel To elaborate a little: the expanded notice (i.e., any text which goes over the local instance's length limit) is only [...]

@toksyuryel [...] present in API responses as an HTML attachment, so actually getting at it requires some very hacky HTML parsing.
-
@psquid Yuck. And I imagine you're intimately familiar with that given your work on !identicurse.

@toksyuryel It's actually very little code, but it's heavily dependent on the page structure remaining at least somewhat similar.
-
@toksyuryel And, possibly as a side-effect of that first flaw, it still doesn't work reliably with every notice it encounters.

@toksyuryel As for joining, you'd have to be sent an invite, but that's no real hurdle, since any existing user can do that.
