What should digital infrastructure for open science look like, and more importantly, who should shape it?
Universities and scholarly communities are starting to explore new directions together. This includes a living lab at Warwick, governance research with Princeton HCI and experiments with the Prosocial Design Network.
We invite more scientists, research communities and universities to join: experiment and study it, co-design what comes next, and help govern the Open Science Network.
Great to see so much development @ivan !
I have a qustion for a specific use case (could also ask this somewhere else, but why not here):
Say, I set up a rather local-focused bonfire instance, for example, inviting all people from my small village to have an account. I would like to be able to:
1) Post my opinion about, say, synthesizers to be read by people from all known instances. (and of course let all villager post about whatever they find interesting)
2) Allow villagers to post stuff about our village that is only visible for people in the village. For example, I could invite people for helping organizing a cleanup day in the village hall. If I understand correctly, this would be done by setting the boundary to local on my village instance.
3) On my instance, I would like to offer all accounts a default custom feed that only shows local stuff (as posted under point 2). Most villagers don't care about my opinion about synthesizers, they just wanna see what's going on in the village. (so, that is different from the current default "local" feed)
I would really love it when this third option would be possible. The literal example given here would be a serious use case, but I can think of many more.
@gilles thanks again for the suggestion, this feed is now available: campground.bonfire.cafe/feed... (which you can pin to your sidebar in feed settings)

I see that Bonfire uses the ampersand for its group notation
@LiquidParasyte that's a placeholder, it might end up being @ or ! or whatever...

Today is announcement day 🔥
Bonfire is shifting its centre of gravity: from social features to community tools. Four things ship today, and the whole story is here: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...
1. Bonfire for communities
Groups and topics, community rules, decision-making (from quick polls through structured consensus to weighted score voting, where an objection can count for more than an approval), events, shared organisation profiles, announcements.
A ready-to-use space you can then take apart: add what's missing, fork what almost fits, switch off what you don't need.
2. Our first Mosaic case study
Six months with Jacobin's German edition, building jacobin.social from the ground up: a home for 3,000+ readers, wired into their Ghost publication, in their language and their look and feel. Their readers crowdfunded the project, which included a reboot of the magazine and a new community space. Now every publisher can benefit. What one community funds, every community inherits. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/case-stu...
3. A deep Ghost integration
Keep publishing exactly as you do now, and Bonfire can become the home for everything that happens around the work: your archive imported, new articles followed, members and tiers synced, sign-in through Ghost, federated discussion under every piece. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/ghost/
4. The Telling
One script tag turns any web page into a federated conversation. Readers reply with an account they already have, on Bonfire, Mastodon, anywhere. The thread lives on your server, and you can take it with you. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/telling/
Being straight with you: this is a 1.0 beta. Groups work within a server and don't federate yet. We're designing that in the open with the W3C groups task force, because we'd rather it work across the whole fediverse than ship a dialect only Bonfire speaks.
Want to poke at it? Groups are live on the campground, our open test instance. Make an account and try it out: campground.bonfire.cafe
Finally, we've rebuilt the website to reflect the new direction: bonfirenetworks.org/
Now back to following up with crowdfunding backers to organise install parties, co-design workshops, and other rewards. Thank you for your patience 💛 #fediverse #ActivityPub

🔥 The Bonfire Social 1.0.5 release candidate is out!
This one brings archipelago mode (opt-in, allow-list federation for tightly-knit communities and networks), a more lightweight search backend (see changelog for migration steps), broadcasting announcements, another embeddable widget, PGP-encrypted emails, and many UX improvements and fixes.
If you're running an instance and want to give it a go, please let us know if you run into any issues.
Full changelog: docs.bonfirenetworks.org/cha...

where is the edit function 😁
@k8u oops thanks, that seems to be a new bug!
Hello bonfire, i'm new here~ Chinese and English are fine.
oh my, how can i use the custome emoji i just added 😁
is this instance didn't federate ? #fediverse
@k8u custom emojis are still a work-in-progress
Why does the "Notifications" badge tell me that there is a new notification - when the list is empty?
A couple of days ago I marked all notifications as "Read", so I am abit puzzled by this.
@jrossstocholm That means there's no recent notifications, you can click the 'show all' button to load older ones.
That may be due to a recent refactor with how notification are stored (now linked to the account rather than the user profile).
Hi all here. Is there anywhere where I can see who I am following?
@gilles you can find the link in the top-right menu on your profile: campground.bonfire.cafe/@gil...
@ivan and @mayel, if I may suggest a feature:
Maybe we could have parameters for choosing audience in a feed (e.g. Exclude/Include/Only for Followers, Following, etc). I want to make changes to the Following feed, but they don't stick if I save because it comes an unfiltered feed without any of the exclusive parameters the built-in Following feed has.
@LiquidParasyte thanks for the suggestion! that's on the todo list: github.com/bonfire-networks/...
@ivan
@coyote @Ianp5a @mayel @gilles @ivan I am trying really hard to understand bonfire 😊.
When you say that "Bonfire community" will have groups - does that mean that it will be a different version of Bonfire - and different from "Bonfire social"?
So, for comparisons to #bigtech:
Bonfire Social --> Twitter (micro-blogging)
Bonfire Community --> Facebook
I am in no way saying that it is a bad thing, but just to compare, pixelfed is the brand name of the platform where users can chose where to sign up. But it's the same app. But bonfire will more likely be a "powered by bonfire" where whatever brand name will be on top and bonfire will be the underlying infrastructure/core?
A bit like PPBoard was back in the day 😊
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pbboard/
@jrossstocholm @coyote @Ianp5a @gilles @ivan Sort of yeah! If you're familiar with Linux you could also compare bonfire flavours to Linux distributions. They may share a lot of the same software but make different choices about what's included, the default configs, etc. Also some flavours are created/maintained by us and some will be governed autonomously by other groups...
