@openrisk@mastodon.social not a bad idea. NodeBB actually already does this. We have a configurable max on hashtag usage, and so if a post comes in with > 5 (the default) we just remove everything after the fifth hashtag. They're still in the post content, but only the first five count in indexing, etc.

@reiver@mastodon.social reach out to @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl, they had lanyards at FOSDEM, maybe they'll send some over as FediCon swag

@j12t@j12t.social what I loved most about this year's FOSDEM was the camaraderie shown by everybody. I told my wife, who isn't plugged into the open social web (yet!) that I was constantly networking, and while that is technically what you would call it, what it really was was a purely organic gathering of like minded individuals, who have never met in real life, who had instant rapport because of the shared values inherent to the fediverse. As the fediverse grows, we'll see this kind of phenomenon happen less and less (see "Eternal September"), but we're at the early stage of the social web where these kinds of things can happen, and when it does, it's amazing. "Networking" at conferences is usually shaking hands and exchanging business cards, and then walking away never to hear from them again.

@julian @rolle every instance has a public timeline.It would have just made it so I don't have to go to mastodon.social, which would be VERY nice.

@squinky@teh.entar.net in all seriousness it's entirely up to you which FEPs to support. Some FEPs have more adoption than others, so it would be wise to adopt them over time as well. Others deal with aspects of the protocol that may not even apply to your specific use case. There is no expectation that one should implement every FEP. Think of it this way: an FEP is a way to document in public (not in code!) how one or more implementations have approached a problem that the ActivityPub protocol spec did not cover. There may be a lot of them, they may be needlessly complicated, but it's better than having to dig through someone else's code base.

@naturzukunft@mastodon.social just give up and embrace the fact that any given ID might not resolve, either temporarily or permanently.

@projectmoon@forum.agnos.is yes, Lemmy has a local representation of this category, and sends the post here. I see that it's addressed to the category and automatically slot it in
