Pixelfed

[stantropics]

I read on the pixelfed matrix channel that in order to receive new posts you need to follow a person (obviously) and some person of that instance needs to follow you so that instance knows that your instance exists.

[doodlemania2]

@murgero said in Pixelfed:

@jdaviescoates@images.uniteddiversity.coop

Followed you also - took the search box a few tries to pull up your profile, but it finally kicked in!

[murgero]

@doodlemania2 huh - I don't see your follow.

I am going to reconfigure my instance with mastodon so we can test actual federation.

[murgero]

Alright, please also follow @hyper@social.mobiledads.live - this is a known working instance of Mastodon, and I can debug connections from pixelfed as well.

[doodlemania2]

@murgero said in Pixelfed:

@hyper@social.mobiledads.live

following new alias now!

[murgero]

I am following back everyone that follows me. So if you need to debug federated follow, you can follow me as well!

I also just sent out a status update via mastodon so can any pixelfed users report if they see it?

[scooke]

You can add me too! @scooke@lenote.eu.

Can't see it.

[scooke]

To be honest I'm not getting what the heck is going on. I can see you are following me @jdaviescoates but when I click on you from within my Pixelfed dashboard, which brings me to your site, and see your pic and try to like it, I see that I am now not at my Pixelfed and apparently need to login to your Pixelfed instance to do anything. ? And I see nothing about Mastodon in my Pixelfed dashboard either.

[doodlemania2]

While they use the same protocol, MD and PF are different so statuses I wouldn't think would share cross tools. No?

[murgero]

@scooke No, you should see their status / images in your own feed. ActivityPub is federated, decentralized sort of like bittorrent in a way. Everyone (or everyone you are connected to) gets a copy of the actor (in this case it's a pixelfed image status update)

Ex:
(Not my image)

[murgero]

@doodlemania2 Both use activitypub and as such are compatible with each other. However the Unstable app here for Pixelfed in Cloudron's appstore has broken federation and it doesn't work more than like 80% of the time right now.

Mastodon
GNU/Social
Pixelfed
Pleroma
Nextcloud via the social app.
and more

All use activitypub - Here is a large, but incomplete list of different service, scripts, and servers that can communicate via AP: https://github.com/BasixKOR/awesome-activitypub

[scooke]

It seems broken that I have to log in to someone else's Pixelfed instance to Like an image though. Or is this a 20% case of the federation not working? Seems counterintuitive to have to join someone's PF to interact with them.

@scooke said in Pixelfed:

You're doing it wrong. ActivityPub doesn't work like that - The issue here is federation is broken.

There is no requirement to register and login to another server to send a like on an image in activitypub.

@murgero said in Pixelfed:

Do you know what is needed in the Cloudron package to fix this? Or is this an upstream app issue? I couldn't really find any information about pixelfed + federation on their site. If there is a link, I would love to see it.

[scooke]

@murgero Ok, so normally I could click on a Follower, see their images, and simply press Heart, like Instagram? That makes more sense. But without that, PF as it is on Cloudron is for viewing only. I wish I could code and help out, add that missing federation bit.

[murgero]

@girish I think webfinger on the root domain may help out here. But I am not 100% versed in ActivityPub. That said, there is a reported federation issue when using activitypub upstream: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/2221

[doodlemania2]

I can see some traffic and some errors in my horizon based on what @murgero linked to. No idea how to fix, but at least we have errors to work off of!

My error is saying there is inbound issue from @hyper@social.mobiledads.live (the person I've followed). Here is the log (sorry it is big).

After reading this, it says that @murgero CAN see something, so outbound is good.
Also, I see in my instance, not that message, but he DID like the pic!

[murgero]

@doodlemania2 Yes I did reply to the pic saying I saw it, and gave a like too - hopefully good for catching something in the logs
