The Fediverse is Quiet — Let's Fix That! (Slides + Recording)
-
For those who were unable to attend this past weekend's Social Web After Hours event held at HackerSpace Brussels ([@hsbxl@mastodon.online](https://community.nodebb.org/user/hsbxl%40mastodon.online)), I've uploaded a re-recording of my presentation, which you can check out here! Sadly, there was no live recording of the rather lively session, so you'll just have to take my word for it

If you're looking for just the slides, you can get them here as well

@julian @HSBXL @deadsuperhero thanks for doing this! I’ll try to do a recording of my talk later as well. The room vibes throughout the evening were great

@julian @HSBXL @deadsuperhero really glad to see you upload these. Wanted to share them with some folks
Unrelated here's a quick bug report: seems like @phanpy is picking up some unsupported attachment on your post

@liaizon@wake.st @julian@community.nodebb.org Seeing the same thing in Akkoma, not sure what it is. -

@julian it was a great talk! I'm glad you re-recorded it.
@deadsuperhero @liaizon it looks like the same issue is showing up using Elk (via browser/desktop). The best I can tell is that it's a wonky preview attempt of the pdf link.

>Contexts can provide a thorough, comprehensive way to backfill an entire conversation. This is the biggest step we can take towards tackling the “fediverse is quiet” problem.
Sure,
contextis useful for backfilling, but is it the biggest step? I don't think so.With FEP-1b12 or Containers, conversations are synced by default, so there is no need for backfilling. This is more efficient too: you don't need to retrieve
contextperiodically to get an up-to-date view. -

@julian FEP-171b has its own way to backfill, also via
context, but it is a collection of activities (such asCreate).
I am currently trying to figure out how to make Containers compatible with NodeBB and others.
