Returning objects in a collection vs. IDs
In another topic (#Smithereen 0.11 is out!), @grishka@mastodon.social says this:
I have this convention where I return IDs for remote objects (obviously, how else would you authenticate them if not by fetching from the origin servers) but complete objects that are local, to save resources. IIRC I saw Mastodon do it for replies so just copied this behavior

Posting about my Mastodon Relay again, registration is open so feel free to add it (location of the relay is US East Coast). Would love to test traffic and jobs but haven't been able to with only 2 instances connected. https://circlewithadot.net/services/aprelay.html #mastodon #activitypub #fediverse
#Smithereen 0.11 is out!
This one mostly focuses on groups and moderation. Groups now have discussion boards, admins can specify server rules (with translations!), moderators have more and better tools at their disposal, and users can now pin posts and export their data.
Detailed changelog here: https://github.com/grishka/Smithereen/releases/tag/0.11
Now comes the part where I build the client API I promised everyone for so long. And the website.

Defederating servers / Blocking users from Fediverse
Hello. ![]()
I have been trying to filter out some of the foreign language posts that come from the Fediverse.
I have been using the "Filtering" to defederate instances. (In most cases, these are single-user instance bot accounts.)
Even if I add in an instance to the list, and separate it with a line break, posts from that instance will still appear.
Is it because I am using a relay?
Example: I have fairy.id listed as a server in the Filtering box.
But their posts still appear.

Da freuen sich doch alle #Fediverse-Fans, die immer wieder betonen, dass #Mastodon nicht der Nabel der Welt ist:

L'objectif est de faire facilement le pont avec le fediverse sans devoir intégrer #ActivityPub, ce qui est un peu en dehors de portée pour le moment.
Çà permet déjà de faciliter les partages, et de promouvoir le #fediverse, et à terme j'espère faciliter les abonnements respectifs et la publication automatique entre les différentes plateformes.
