Updates: Local Groups
</title><description><![CDATA[
<p><img src="assets/groups/profile.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>We haven't implemented federation of Groups yet, but group tags and <a href="https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/decentralised-group/2200/17?u=diogo">discussion
on how unbounded groups can be federated via ActivityPub</a> has already started.</p>
<p>Concerning federation of traditional groups, we will port our logic from v2 and
translate following the same rules as AndStatus <a href="https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/248#issuecomment-558703558">because they work</a>, as yvolk beautifully stated :)</p>
<p>Finally, also note that the group actors now have "self-tags", as the other actors, which was a milestone.</p>

Milestone: Pinned Notes
</title><description><![CDATA[
You can now pin notes in your profile! Given you have suficient permissions to do so (e.g. you created the note), an additional action is represented, allowing you to highlight your favourite notes.</p>
<p>With this feature, an actor has more ways to express itself to the community as a whole. This activity is federated using <a href="https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#featured">Mastodon's featured collection extension</a>.</p>

Milestone: Web Monetization
</title><description><![CDATA[
<p><a href="https://webmonetization.org/">Web Monetization</a> is being proposed as a W3C
standard at the Web Platform Incubator Community Group.</p>
<p>GNU social now supports that initiative with the <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/WebMonetization">Web Monetization plugin</a>.</p>
<p>With this, we also introduce an ActivityPub (FEP pending) GS extension
<code>gs:webmonetizationWallet</code>. This enables actors to support other actors with Web
Monetization in the fediverse.</p>
<p>It looks like this:</p>
<h2>Own profile</h2>
<p><img src="assets/web_monetization/address.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
<h2>In the profile of other actors</h2>

Milestone: Mute notifications from a conversation

Milestone: Albums
</title><description><![CDATA[
<p>This is a natural follow up to the <a href="https://www.gnusocial.rocks/v3/milestone-collections.html">Collections Milestone</a>.</p>
<p>An album is a specialisation of an attachment collection, which is itself a
specialisation of a collection.</p>
<p>Albums were implemented with the <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/AttachmentCollections">Attachment Collections plugin</a>.</p>
<h2>Here's how it looks</h2>
<h3>Adding an attachment (this is in the right sidebar of attachment pages)</h3>

Milestone: Collections
</title><description><![CDATA[
<p>We have generalized collections around our search engine. For that introducing
the <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/components/Collection">Collection component</a>.</p>
<p>This structure has the following implication:</p>
<pre><code>Collection -&gt; OrderedCollection
|-&gt; Notes (known as Feed)
|-&gt; Actors (known as Circle)
|-&gt; Other Object (known as Collection of ...)
|-&gt; Attachments: AttachmentCollection
|-&gt; Tags: TagCollection
</code></pre>
<p>And it allow us to centralise the scope system in the core, ensuring that no
actor will have access to notes or other objects that shouldn't be able to see.</p>
<p>Finally, with this, a plugin such as <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/NoteTypeFeedFilter">Note Type Feed Filter</a> can be useful in
every note collection (feed).</p>
<p>It also allows plugins such as ActivityPub to <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/ActivityPub/Util/OrderedCollectionController.php">translate every collection
automatically</a>.</p>

Milestone: ActivityPub
</title><description><![CDATA[
<p><a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/ActivityPub">ActivityPub Plugin source</a>.</p>
<p>This milestone could be just this, what's different from any other ActivityPub
plugin? How is it better than v2's?</p>
<p>It's better in how it's organised and extensible, check the <a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/ActivityPub/EVENTS.md">EVENTS.md</a> for examples.</p>

Milestone: Tags
</title><description><![CDATA[
<blockquote>
<p>Due to the high density of technical aspects, we decided to keep this blog
post more on the light side and focus on explaining the new functionalities.
Check our Wiki Milestone entry for all the juicy details.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong><a href="https://agile.gnusocial.rocks/doku.php?id=milestones:tags">>WIKI Milestone entry</a></strong></p>
<p>GNU social v2 has tags and lists. It allows you to:</p>
<ul>
<li>search for an <code>#hashtag</code> and see a stream of notes tagged with it;</li>
<li>make lists of actors and mention them with <code>@#list_name</code></li>
<li>self tag and enter a list of people in your instance with the same self tag</li>
</ul>
<p>It is limited with regards to federation of self tags and the <code>@#list_name</code> can't
target remote actors even when they are inside your list.</p>
<h2>What's new with v3?</h2>
<h3>Federated self tags</h3>
<p>We now federate self tags and lists, so that constraint from v2 was moved out of
the way.</p>
<p>In the future, the use of these tags can allow you to find people,
groups and even individual notes that have a tag you're interested in. We only
mean filtering, not magic recommendation algorithms.</p>
<h3>Tag Wrangling</h3>
<p>Proposed by <a href="https://archiveofourown.org/users/licho">@licho</a> in Tue, 02 Jun 2019 17:52:07 GMT:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I like the tag wrangling feature of AO3, which I think would help for cases of synonymous tags like #introduction and #introductions</p>
<p>https://archiveofourown.org/wrangling_guidelines/11</p>
<p>Is it feasible for !gnusocial ? Or would it cause problems?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The answer is <strong>yes</strong> and will be released with v3. With the addition of
<a href="https://gnusocial.rocks/v3/milestone-notes-and-actors-with-languages.html">Languages in notes and actors</a> there was little excuse not to be feasible.</p>
<p><img src="assets/tags/feed-note-tag-run.png" alt="" title="" />
<img src="assets/tags/feed-note-tag-running.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>Whenever you post a note containing tags, you can choose whether to
make those tags canonical. This means that, for instance, the tags
<code>#run</code> and <code>#running</code> become the 'same', meaning that when you click on
the link for the <code>#run</code> tag, you'll also see notes tagged #running. You
can opt out of the behaviour by unchecking the "Make note tags
canonical". An identical process occurs for people tags.</p>
<p><img src="assets/tags/checked_make_canonical.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>Internally, this transformation is accomplished by splitting the tag
into words and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stemming">stemming</a> each word.</p>
<h3>Related Tags</h3>
<p>In a tag feed, you can see tags that are often used together with the
one you're seeing. This can be useful, for instance, for finding other
content you'd be interested in.</p>
<p><img src="assets/tags/feed-related-notes-shoes.png" alt="" title="" />
<img src="assets/tags/feed-related-notes-running.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
<h3>Improved Tag feeds</h3>
<p><img src="assets/tags/selftag-feed.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>When you click on a tag, be it a note tag or a person tag, you'll see
a feed of notes/people with that tag. You can also edit the feeds you
see in your left panel, so you can follow a given tag.</p>
<h3>Mute Self Tags and Note Tags</h3>
<p><img src="assets/tags/note-options.png" alt="" title="" />
<img src="assets/tags/note-muting.png" alt="" title="" />
<img src="assets/tags/tag-mute-settings.png" alt="" title="" /></p>
<p>If you don't like seeing a given tag in your feeds, for whatever
reason, you can choose to mute it. You can mute a note tag or a person
tag, in which case you wouldn't see any notes from people with that
tag.</p>
