@unsafelyhotboots@sharkey.world ah we sent some surveys out a while ago to gather peoples preferences, timezones, etc. We still need to start actually scheduling them but did you receive that?

Our next two #activitypub pull requests are ready for review:
- adding a public key to our instance actor codeberg.org/Klasse-Methode/... (note we use rsa for now as recomended in swicg.github.io/activitypub-..., but we will propably support more keys in the future)
- adding an empty inbox with #httpsig verification codeberg.org/Klasse-Methode/... #fedidev
it works!
With the exodus from big tech social media, people often wonder where they find events for their city or community. The need for community driven/owned event calendars rises and with it people starting one themselves. Nowadays there are a couple of viable technical solutions, but the real question is: How do you get people to use them. In this blog post we reflect on nearly 5 years of building and operating @eintopf@sueden.social We hope this will help others to make their calendar a success. Comments and additions highly welcome.

Hi @ivan @mayel
I am trying out circles combined with bundares and I just had the following for me unexpected experience:
I created a circle and added one member. I realized I was not able to actively add myself to the circle, so I assumed I was by default a circle member.
Then, I created a post where I set reading and interacting boundaries to only the circle I created. After clicking "post", I clicke the little "view post" link and was directed to the post, which I was not allowed to view. (see screenshot) So, apparently, I am not in the circle myself.
Maybe this is behavior as intended, but this is not how I expected it to do. Maybe, what I am trying to do is what you are implementing with groups, but still, this behavior looks a bit awkward to me.
Here's my band 😊
Yes, this is just testing circles functionality. I think this use is not currently foreseen, but would it not be very useful to share circles and make them searcheable?
