Does anyone know of a fediverse web app that *only* does posting, not reading?I like the idea of being able to open an app to make a post, without being distracted by other people's posts appearing when it opens. But I don't want to set up a separate account just for this, I want to post using the same account.#AskFedi #fediverse

@strypey What about the Mastodon CLI client toot? It can read but doesn't have to. Run as:toot post "This is a test. This is only a test."To post that message and then you're back in the shell.

@SuiseisekiYou seem to have missed the bit where I said ... well ... everything after the first line of the post, really.Bloat is a standard read/write app. As I said, I'm lookout for a write-only app.

@Zergling_man Is that free software, in a good language and how hard is that to torify?I would use bloatFE in Emacs web wowser if only eww could be torified.I see that there's mastodon.el, but why isn't it called fediverse.el is my question.

I don't think that's a leap of logic at all.

@strypey Should be simple. Do not open Federated Timeline or Home. Have a separate server or block everyone on the local timeline. I also post using a Wordpress blog. No need to read anyone else

@prabirkc Sorry for not explaining more clearly, because I you seem to have misunderstood the request.I did specify that I was talking about an app I can log into with my existing account. I don't think I can do that with the WordPress web app (although that would be great!), and a separate server doesn't help with that.> Do not open ... HomeThis is exactly what I'm asking for. All the apps I'm familiar with open a home timeline by default. > block everyone on the local timeline😳🤭

@Strypey I could tell you how to set up a Hubzilla channel in such a way that it does just that: You open the Web UI of your hub, you log in if you have to, and you're taken straight to the post editor with nothing else around it but the navigation bar.But since you want to stay on Mastodon, and you're only looking for a Web UI for Mastodon, I can't help you.#FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta

@jupiter_rowland> But since you want to stay on Mastodon, and you're only looking for a Web UI for Mastodon, I can't help youI'm looking for a posting app that works with any fediverse server. Which in practice means it implements Mastodon's C2S API (more's the pity). But supporting the C2S part of the AP spec would be a bonus. Does Hubzilla's web app do either of these things?

@Strypey Nope, Hubzilla's Web UI only works with Hubzilla itself, and Hubzilla is developed completely independently from Mastodon and its various APIs. You can't even connect Hubzilla to any Mastodon app.#FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #Mastodon #Hubzilla

@jupiter_rowland> You can't even connect Hubzilla to any Mastodon appThis phrase reads like you're saying Hubzilla doesn't federate with Mastodon, and obviously that's not correct. I presume you mean apps using the Mastodon API don't work with Hubzilla? If so that's a shame.

@Strypey Hubzilla does federate with Mastodon. In case you haven't noticed, but I'm writing to you from Hubzilla. It just requires ActivityPub to be activated both on a hub level (it is by default) and on a channel level (it is not by default). So what I meant was that Hubzilla does not have the Mastodon client API implemented, and so you can't use Hubzilla with a Mastodon phone app.But seriously, for one, Hubzilla is structurally so far away from Mastodon that this couldn't work anyway, I guess. I don't think the Mastodon client API could be bent in such a way that it works with an architecture that has multiple channels, multiple identities on the same login, not to mention that the Mastodon client API probably couldn't handle nomadic identity with its side-effects. Even if the Mastodon client API could, Mastodon apps couldn't because almost all of them are geared towards Mastodon and only Mastodon.Which leads me to the second point: Even if you could connect Hubzilla to a Mastodon phone app, you couldn't even use 5% of Hubzilla's features because almost all Mastodon phone apps only cover Mastodon's features, and I guess that some of those apps which already existed in 2022 still only cover Mastodon 3's features.This is far from "better than nothing". Apart from people who have only just switched from Mastodon to Hubzilla still with Twitter on the brain, nobody on Hubzilla would refer to such massive limitations as "better than nothing". Besides, not being able to use an app is not "nothing". Hubzilla is one of the few Fediverse server applications that can be installed as a Progressive Web App. And if that doesn't work, you can use it in a browser. In other words, there's always the Web UI.Just about all Hubzilla veterans would vastly prefer the Web UI over not being able to use text formatting (not possible on Mastodon), not being able to embed images in a post (not possible on Mastodon), not being able to add alt-text to images (works vastly different on Mastodon), not being able to add titles to posts (not possible on Mastodon) and not even being able to select a channel on their account that isn't the default (Mastodon doesn't have channels either). And that's only the tip of the iceberg.One of the reasons why there isn't a Hubzilla phone app with a fully native mobile UI is because this UI would have to be absolutely massive. The app would end up more complex than FairEmail. A good app should offer all the same features as the Web UI. But Hubzilla itself is fully geared towards the desktop, feature-wise, handling-wise and in its philosophy. Don't forget that Hubzilla was not made as a Twitter replacement.Lastly, neither @Mario Vavti nor @Harald Eilertsen is willing to add more proprietary, non-standard, Mastodon-exclusive technology to Hubzilla than absolutely necessary, if at all. And a client API that's made for something completely and utterly different from Hubzilla and that won't even work properly with Hubzilla is far from "absolutely necessary". Hubzilla rather indulges in independence from Mastodon.#Long #LongPost #CWLong #CWLongPost #FediMeta #FediverseMeta #CWFediMeta #CWFediverseMeta #Mastodon #MastodonAPI #MastodonApps #Hubzilla

@jupiter_rowlandThanks for the unsolicited sales pitch for Hubzilla. All of which could have summed up in a single sentence;'Hubzilla, like a thneed, is something that everyone, everyone, everyone needs, but it can't help with the problem you described in the OP'Thanks anyway.@mario @harald
