Historically, I got sizable streams of posts by joining a couple pubs. None of which are offered in Manyverse, for good or bad. (definitely un-ideal for first-time users, but it does at least avoid overloading or over-promoting some) The "get started" docs on the website do walk you through it though, e.g. https://scuttlebutt.nz/get-started/#step-3-get-connected -> this smallish list of pubs: https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server/wiki/Pub-Servers . You'll automatically discover more as you pull other people's content. --- I did join yours via Manyverse, but tbh I'm surprised that viewing your pub doesn't show member join/leaves, and I haven't seen any posts yet (I've made one). Have you made any? Could it be having problems perhaps? (edit: and shortly after posting this, now I see some stuff, after around 45m. So my initial minorish-co

Yes, the initial syncing and indexing can take a moment. I would recommend joining a single Pub or SSB room [1] to find people and grow your network organically. The large Pubs [2] have a lot of content to download and also follow bots (which you would have to block).

Yeah, that behaviour's designed to counter spam and unwanted bots, but it does mean newbies need to be invited into a community. Meanwhile it's lonely talking into the void. You could connect to a pub — an automatically-friendly bot account; see a list at https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server/wiki/Pub-Servers — scuttle.space seems to be active right now. If you're happy posting your SSB ID publicly, I'll follow you, and that may help. Or you can use the #new-people tag if you want to introduce/announce yourself :)

Elsewhere on Github, you tell people who want to integrate your ads specifically to include it as a regular and not a devDependency in order to cause the ad to be shown to users who transitively depend on it. https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server/pull/685 "@mixmix, thanks for the support! It means a lot to me and I hope that having others join in will help shift the discussion on this topic, even if (like you said) we don't like sponsor messages as the ultimate funding model here. Btw, I think you'll want to make this a dependency if you intend for end users to see the sponsor message. Otherwise, it will only be run for folks who are developing on ssb-server."

The issue with federated services is that they operate from the assumption that everyone has an anarchist sysadmin in their friend group who is going to help everyone run the federated infrastructure. I’ll use SSB as an example. If you install the software and make an identity, you’ll soon find that you have to sign up with something called a “pub server” to actually get any of your friend’s updates. Where do you find such a pub server? There’s a wiki: https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server/wiki/Pub-Servers. The author of the wiki has found that it is necessary to admonish people not to just pick the first pub server on the list, since there isn’t really any criteria by which to choose them. If there was a sudden influx of more than a few hundred new users, it would cause utter chaos on this list. Someone would need to spend a lot of money on

I looked at the faq, but it's rather non-technical. Is there a security/privacy faq? My initial reading is that it's a lot like Twitter or things shouted out in a pub that films and archives everything that goes on? : no expectation of privacy, no secure private messages, no deniabilty? Ed: looks like https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot/blob/master/README.md has a bit more meat. Still happy to hear any comments. Especially I assume any recipient can prove to a third party that someone said something?

hi Jahak, the server code for each peer in the social network is here: https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot/

Probably https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot

It does not work like that, the gateway will not be able to show anything, and if you would like to go through a gateway you would have to share your secret key with that Gateway, which means full control of your log. The first time you use Secure Scuttlebutt will be boring because it will be an empty town, you will not have anything and you will not see anyone's feed either. The magic happens when you start following someone or you are at the same network as someone else your client start downloading the log of your friend and the log your friend have stored from their friends, and the feed is filled with information. You will even be able to view your social network offline and you will even be able to do comments in other peoples feeds and it will sync when you are online again. Most likley you will not be on the same network as anyone

nice. Kappa Architecture mentioned ! :) -> https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot

There is indeed a list of pubs https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot/wiki/Pub-servers

Maybe something like this? https://github.com/ssbc https://github.com/ssbc/secure-scuttlebutt https://github.com/ssbc/scuttlebot
