  • Initially Webmentions and AP reactions were rendered on separate panels (with the Jinja rendering templates provided by the webmentions and pubby libraries respectively), but then I found that a bit confusing and cluttering, because there were basically two comment sections with two different time-sorted lists of threads. But if people prefer the other way around I could also add it as an option or a filter toggle 🙂



  • At the current state it’s only single-user, but I’m working on a multi-user implementation. It should be available as soon as I have a proper implementation for the ActivityPub Group actor (similar to what WriteFreely already does, where you have a Group @blog actor that aggregates post from multiple Person actors). That would also unlock full compatibility with Lemmy/NodeBB and other threadiverse implementations. But it takes a while to get done right - and a multi-user set up is also a design challenge when your selling point is to have a blog running on a single folder with Markdown files.

    About a free instance, it’s not currently available (you’ll need your own domain and host and then you can just spin up a Docker container), but AFAIK YunoHost is considering adding it to their offering.



  • That’s right, there’s no pagination on the outbox right now - it’s just a few text files anyway so I didn’t bother to implement it yet. But it’s on my (very short term) radar. The RSS/Atom feeds are already provided over /feed.rss and /feed.atom routes respectively though. About embedding the whole object vs. a reference, that can be configured via activitypub_object_type. It defaults to Note, so the whole content is included, but it can also be set to Article - in that case only a reference to the object is rendered, similar to what WriteFreely does in its latest implementation.












  • Nextcloud is my best pick. Of course, it does much more than calendars, so if you’re looking for a calendar service that does only that it may be a bit overblown.

    Big pros:

    • Native WebDAV integration out-of-the-box - which means that you can easily export your calendars through WebDAV URLs in any supported app

    • Support for importing external calendars

    • If you also use other Nextcloud products (like mail, contacts or office) the integration betweren them is quite well designed

    On Android then I use DAVx5 to synchronize calendars and contacts from Nextcloud with my phone, and Etar as a multi-provider calendar app.



  • The short answer is no. Each distro installs its own root filesystem with its own configuration files, versions of executables etc. and that’s unlikely go be compatible with another distro.

    But you can partition your system with a different home partition, so installing a new distro won’t touch your home files.




  • Anything that runs Android should run KoReader too - which IMO is still the best way to consume Wallabag content.

    I have recently purchased a BOOX tablet with Android 14 and it works great with KoReader. But even my old Mobiscribe 1st gen with Android 7 was doing its job - it was too old for most of the recent Android apps, but KoReader works fine even on ancient Android versions.
