How are you generating these posts now? ⌘ Read more
@dendiz So this is a bit tricky. Yarn.social is based on Twtxt. Therefore feeds are expected to be published and hosted on public servers of some kind (supported are Gopher, Gemini and HTTP).
The only way to be private / invisible is blacklist the world and be dark or password protect feeds.
I have to ask though… What is your use-case here? What are ... ⌘ Read more

But maybe this should be done server side in the API? 🤔🤔 ⌘ Read more
@hashrock I will fix this for you after I get some sleep 🤗 Please send me an email 🙏 ⌘ Read more
@carsten Yeah, sadly though we _would never_ use an external 3rd-party Cloud/SaaS service. So that’s not really an option here. ⌘ Read more
@eaplmx Thanks! 🤗 ⌘ Read more
For now I just use Chrome Web Store - Extensions – a Browser extension, which works well enough and has a nice interface. Triple-click to select all the text, hit the button 👌 ⌘ Read more
What I’m not sure about however is what the interface and anda mechanism(s) should be… To be honest though, I _really wish_ there was a decent self-hosted “language translation” tool that I could stand up and just point
yarnd at it for “automatic language translation” (at least best effort, I don’t care) ⌘ Read more
@eaplmx Yup 👌 I _think_ this is a good idea. And to that end this library seems like it would do most of the work for us: pemistahl/lingua-go: 👄 The most accurate natural language detection library for Go, suitable for long and short text alike ⌘ Read more
Okay folks… I’m going to bed 😴 I managed to get the v0.15 milestone down to just 5 remaining issues 🥳 ⌘ Read more
@carsten Some options configurable at runtime, via the Admin interface. But those will override the CLI flags / Env vars. So double check those. If in doubt just nuke the
/path/to/data/settings.json and restart. ⌘ Read more
@carsten My gawd. Mind if I take a copy of that video for reservation? Someone needs to transcribe this and put the text up. If true (and I believe it has to be right? 🤔) that poor guy’s legacy needs to be remembered for all time 🙏 ⌘ Read more
@carsten Thanks! This is my problem then, I noticed some “bad data” in my pod’s cache or something. Trying to figure it it and fix it. Thanks 👌 ⌘ Read more

@abucci _@anthony.buc.ci_ Its also probably not really worth solving either… ⌘ Read more
You can also manage avatars and description for Feeds/Personas too. Unfortunately you can’t Edit” or “Delete” your Last Twt though, I never managed to have feature parity there sadly 🤦♂️ ⌘ Read more
@abucci _@anthony.buc.ci_ It’s a “hard problem” but not NP hard. ⌘ Read more
@hashrock Speaking of “shit posting”, in the “Feeds” view you’ll find a section called “Create Feed” and “My Feeds”. If you’re a regular shit poster you _may_ find it useful to have a different “Persona” (as we call them). You can have up to 5 (I believe) on a Pod (haven’t really made this configurable I don’t think 😅) – Anyway just an option… (just sharing ... ⌘ Read more
@abucci _@anthony.buc.ci_ Ooof good fucking question actually. I did a. bunch of “text similarity” work in this space, so I’m confident it can be detached. But honestly I haven’t tried to properly solve it, it honestly doens’t present itself as a problem too frequently actually. ⌘ Read more
@abucci _@anthony.buc.ci_ Fair 👌 ⌘ Read more
@abucci _@anthony.buc.ci_ Haha 🤣 ⌘ Read more
This is only possible between pods because of the near real-time subscription between pods. A Twtxt feed hosted manually is much harder to deal with, because by the time its been fetched its too late and too slow for you or anyone to do anything about. ⌘ Read more
Hmm I just noticed something quite interesting I had not noticed before… @abucci _@anthony.buc.ci_ You posted a Twt (I don’t know what it’s hash was now, as I lost it) but then you edited it and obviously corrected something.
That is #r63ni5a (relative link). When I replied I quickly r ... ⌘ Read more

@hashrock Not at all, didn’t even notice 👌 I have pretty decent hardware, I can keep supporting quite a few users on my pod before I have to seriously consider turning off registrations 😅 – But I won’t do that for quite a while yet… We need to grow more, more pods, more spread out, more decentralised, more users, more better experience 😅 ⌘ Read more
@hashrock Oh! The number one ( #1) reason why people hate “traditional (big tech) social media” like Twitter™ and Facebook™ – Your shit (posts) just disappears, get re-arranged, you get fed biased crap, have ads shoved in your face, blah blah blah 😅 It’s terrible isn’t it 🤣 ⌘ Read more
I _think_ your “wish list” items are already in the backlog and also on my list of things to do too 👌 ⌘ Read more

@hashrock 10 years of using Twitter™? Wow 😅 What did or do you find inconvenient about Twitter™? 🤔 I myself tried many many years ago, numerous times and gave up. I’ve since positioned myself to a strong opinion of Self Hosting, Owning your own data and respecting User Privacy and taking Security seriously. ⌘ Read more
@hashrock Yeah, the complexity _might_ not be worth it right now. ⌘ Read more
@hashrock Well that’s actually what most of us do already. If we notice a mistake on our Last Twt, we just go back and Edit it. ⌘ Read more

What if we just turn the “Post” button into a 2-step process.
- Preview
- Post
First click, calls the backend to ask for a Preview. Second click submits for posting. If you modify the textarea the button goes back to “Preview”. Would this work? 🤔 ⌘ Read more
Probably the simplest way to support a basic “Preview” right now is to just have a “Preview” button that does some Server-Side rendering of the to-be-posted Twt, returns what it would be rendered as and we shove that in a block somewhere on the page. ⌘ Read more

@hashrock indeed. That’s what happens when your primary goals are a) increase engagement on your platform b) To drive up ad revenue ⌘ Read more
@hashrock And that’s one of the features we deliberately don’t have 😅 “Like”(s) – We’ve found over the years we don’t really need them. Its also kind of silly when the entire social network is based on the Twtxt (a simple text file format hosted on web servers) with Extensions 😅 So we don’t! ⌘ Read more
But honestly probably the most important thing of all is that we (myself and the community) have no financial interests in what we’re doing here. Yarn.social is designed for humans, by humans, we’re not interested in ads, data tracking or monetising anything. Just keep it simple, nice and easy, and the right balance of useful features. ⌘ Read more
@hashrock Well then you’re in good hands, we’re still pretty small and niche, but we grow slowly but surely all the time. We have something like ~20 or so pods around the world by various individuals, some single-user, some multi-user (like the ones you see on the landing page Yarn.social), the good fortune of dozens of contributors a ... ⌘ Read more~

@hashrock I like to stalk Twitter and Google searchers 😅 I just happen to see yours, translated it and thought I’d reach out 🤗 ⌘ Read more
@hashrock Do you mean link preview via OpenGraph tags? We actually already support those, we just haven’t built a frontend to render link previews in the UI yet… Maybe this is something you can help us do? 🤔 ⌘ Read more
@hashrock Oh! Are you the person I just emailed a few mins ago on your website? 🤔 I recognise that artwork/avatar from a page I just visited, yours I think? 🤔 😅 – Also very nice 👌 ⌘ Read more
@hashrock That would be wonderful 👌 – Besides the font on Windows, how are you finding it so far anyway? I realise its only been a few mins and your “social” circle will be quite small right now 😅 ⌘ Read more
@hashrock Oh 😅 Well if you happen to have any HTML/CSS skillz in this area, we’re always looking for new blood to help us continually improve Yarn.social’s experience 🤗 – Btw, you can update your profile with an Avatar and Description and fiddle around with quite a fair bit of Settings… Check it out 👌 ⌘ Read more
@hashrock They look great on macOS 😅 Can you suggest better fonts? 🤔 ⌘ Read more
@hashrock What is “Twtxt Cloud”! 😳 Never heard of it till now 😅 Yarn.social is decentralised, the general idea is to host your own feed, use your favourite client or run a pod (

@carsten _@yarn.zn80.net_ Hmmmmaybe 🤔 ⌘ Read more
Yes it actually is possible to do this looking at the way the code and views are constructed. There is actually a per-User “Discover” view that is built on every Cache/Fetch cycle. This _could_ be modified with another “FilterFunc”.
