@wpn social space launched 🎊

gotosocial doing some math about users and federated instances

Hello!

On this rather unpleasant Monday, I bring <adjective here> news. Two days ago, @wpn fediverse instance, powered by GoToSocial, went live 🚀 and we just reached 1001 federated instances. I don't believe that to be a huuuuge number, but it's just me using the platform right now, so there is that too. Also it's not like I am in a hurry.

Registrations are open, but manually approved, and mostly for friends only, same as for the other services. New @wpn's shell users will get an account as well.. Old one, feel free to request it to me if you are interested - there is no need to compile the online form for you.

Short news, best news. I think that's the saying, right? 😀

CardDAV group sync

I opened this issue on RCMCardDAV GitHub repo thinking it was a bug of them, while it turned out it was just ignorance (on my side).

TL;DR:

To make a long story short, if you want to sync groups of contacts, using a CardDAV address book, make sure that every client/sync application is using the same format to store groups. This applies to e.g. roundcube, with the plugin of this post's link, DAVx^5 sync app, and generally each client which supports CardDAV.

  • DAVx^5 settings (it's in Italian, sorry. The difference between group types is the same as above though)

DAVx^5 settings

Before setting DAVx^5 to the correct option, groups created on roundcube won't sync correctly to my phone, while the other way around worked fine.
