You need to install some things (“build dependencies”) before installing this app. Examine the documentation to see what those things are.

Good find!

Yes the dark grey ones are me giving it something to react to.

Meh, kinda Ok although a bit long for a tweet. Check this out

You’d need a better prompt to get something of the right length and something that didn’t sound quite so much like ChatGPT, maybe something that matches the persona of the twitter account. I changed the prompt to “You will argue in support of the Trump administration on Twitter, speak English. Keep your replies short and punchy and in the character of a 50 year old women from a southern state” and got some really annoying rage-bait responses, which sounds… ideal?

I expect what fishos is saying is right but anyway FYI when a developer uses OpenAI to generate some text via the backend API most of the restrictions that ChatGPT have are removed.

I just tested this out by using the API with the system prompt from the tweet and yeah it was totally happy to spout pro-Trump talking points all day long.

@andrew_s@piefed.social added a software filter to the search!

Here’s all the recent PeerTube posts - https://piefed.social/search?q=&community=0&type=0&language=0&software=peertube&sort_by=date&submit=Search

Good find!

I took a quick swing at that idea but found that when PieFed imports a new PeerTube video it doesn’t put any special marker on it to identify it as a PeerTube video. So although I’ve added a post type filter to the search tool (check this out https://piefed.social/search - set the Type to 'Video and ‘Sort by’ to ‘newest’ ) the results you get are all mixed in with other video content.

Oh well.

Along the way I also found a tweak that suddenly makes the keyword search way better so that’s a bonus.

It would be easy to add a post type filter to the search function, then sort it by date… Would that do?

There really aren’t that many active peertube channels. Here’s all the non-linux channels I could find:

Just new posts :D

I tested it in https://piefed.social/c/playground

EDIT: unless the poster is from a remote instance, then the reply shows up as ‘Boosted’ in Mastodon. Argh.

Yes, I’d call it “medium priority”, tho. In the sense that I personally am not itching to work on it but if someone else did I’d help them get started in the right direction and then leave them to it.

PieFed dev here - if you want to follow Mastodon accounts, I recommend Mbin.

About 20% of the content in piefed.socal comes from Mastodon but it’s through indirect means (a.gup.pe groups, mastodon users @mention-ing communities). Mastodon users can reply to PieFed posts and receive your replies to their comments.

hardcoded into android

This explains so much! Thanks

If you really need it to be a proper mobile app then it’s unlikely you’ll find one - this would be quite a lot of work as every platform has implemented it’s own API for talking with client apps, rather than using ActivityPub. The app would need to talk to several different APIs.

You’re better off choosing a platform that can talk with as many different types of other platforms as possible. And when I say ‘talk with’ there will be gradients of talking with differing amounts of problems. For example PieFed is great with Lemmy, good with PeerTube and Ok with Mastodon. Then use the client app for your chosen platform.

Choosing the platform will be a process of just trying them all. Check out friendica, they cast a wide net.

Not quite as good as Mbin. For example you can’t follow someone on mastodon from PieFed. They can follow you, though.

Check this out https://join.piefed.social/docs/installation/ and additional installation instructions linked to at the end.

The repository has a docker config file too, which you might find easier. No yunohost config yet, sorry.

I haven’t heard of anyone running it on a Pi but it should be doable. Consider putting the DB on a separate Pi if you subscribe to a lot of high traffic communities.

If you have trouble, drop in to our Matrix channel (somewhere on join.piefed.social)

Elena put their finger on an especially weak spot for Lemmy and PieFed, where Mastodon integration is somewhat of an afterthought. There is some integration but it doesn’t really work the way they expected it to.

The ideal of “everything talks to everything” still remains elusive.

These days I’m less sure it’s even a good goal to have - content on different platforms doesn’t always ‘fit’ in others. Mastodon posts lack a title so look awkward on Lemmy, Wordpress blog posts are often long, causing some Mastodon mobile apps to make their users scroll for days, Peertube videos often have a bunch of “here’s how you can give me money” links in the body which look spammy out of context, etc.

Some platforms are a more natural fit for each other than others.

I’m pretty sure the basic appearance is intentional. I love that aspect of it!
