@roland AndStatus does have follow/unfollow feature. Unfortunately, following a remote user is not currently supported at a server side, so this is a request to GNU Social developers?!
Do you know of any subscription API, which works at GNU social servers, but is not supported by #AndStatus yet? If yes, please send me links with documentation/examples...
-
@roland Of course I know :-) But I cannot do this at a client's side only. This is why I'm asking for help from the server side :-)
-
@mk Oops, I could follow you from AndStatus at LoadAverage. Maybe this depends on some server/user setting
@mmn

@lnxw48 right - one of the things that disturbed me about the Statusnet software was that the web GUI was not actually a client, but 'hardcoded' into the server software. It _should_ be a client. If you need an extra function, first create the API for it, then implement using that API. That's the way it should go, IMO. Maybe it was just 'lack of time' for Evan's team? Tho…
-
@mk Yeah, this is something I want to fix and I just have to understand some parts of the API better to know if I should fix it, extend it or simply hack in some support that @andstatus can use and others can adapt to :)
-
@mk See e.g. this discussion, starting from September 12, 2014 https://github.com/andstatus/andstatus/issues/93
- attachments are not properly crossing GNU social instances for some instances, not for all... so the problem there is in configuration/version of components
-
@mk I am confused about whether remote following via API already works or not. I thought that it doesn't work but yesterday I successfully followed _you_ using AndStatus at LoadAverage.
Please test at your side: can you follow anybody using AndStatus at your instance. If not please send me error report from "Commands in a Queue"
@mmn
-
@mk Even if the procedure of following a remote user is long and cannot be completed within a single call, a User will have confirmation of its successful completion: inside the first post received from the subscribed user. Twitter API includes information on whether you are following the sender of the received message.
-
@mk Don't be sorry :-) You're almost done.
First ensure that you have AndStatus v.15 installed.
Go to Manage Microblogging System, find your instance and change SSL Mode to "Insecure SSL". Save. Now account may be added?!
-
@mk Are we talking about the same things? AndStatus is being updated at f-droid in a timely manner. Currently it has AndStatus v.15 (for Android v.4.1 and higher)
-
@andstatus Not remote users are impossible to subscribe to via Twitter-compatible API but remote users without any presence on local instance.
-
@mk Select GNU Social type.
-
@mk "Default Account" matters, when you have more than one accounts configured in AndStatus.
You don't need to "Reverify", just press "back" button.
-
@andstatus Hm, is the /api/friendships/{show,exists,create,destroy}.format what you're looking for? create/destroy take the locally stored ID of a profile as argument 'id' and creates or destroys a "friendship" (i.e. subscription, which sounds less brutal). exists takes 'user_a' and 'user_b' as "subscriber" and "subscribed" respectively. The locally stored ID should…
-
@mk Initially this was done to check connection to the server. I see that now I should rename the button to "Test connection" ?!
Our today's message exchange showed me ways to improve UI... Thanks for this.
-
@mmn AndStatus already uses the "friendships" API to follow/stop following a user.
Does anything similar exist for subscription to a group?
Any other API related to a group?
BTW, earlier I used the link as a reference of API: https://e14n.com/wiki/API - Now that link doesn't work, but is anywhere GNU Social API page?
@roland @mk @lnxw48

http://www.skilledtests.com/wiki/Twitter-compatible_API#Group_resources should be sufficient thanks to @erkan (there's a copy on web.archive.org #WaybackMachine too)
Should be the same thing as with profile subscriptions, provide the local ID and it should work. Won't currently work with _remote_ group nicknames, aliases or (unfortunately) URIs.
-
@erkan Yes, please create an account for AndStatus testing purposes. I will not disclose its credentials but will use it to receive/send test messages.
Will this garbage be bearable for your instance? Do you have means to clean its messages/attachments (say, once in a week)?
-
@roland Thanks I will look at it...
-
@erkan I guess group names are in the same namespace...
