.Nd federated status conveyance
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility processes federated status updates and other microblog activities.
|
|
This is the user manual.
|
|
For administration, see
|
|
.Xr honk 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This manual is still incomplete.
|
|
It'll get there eventually.
|
|
.Ss Following
|
|
In order to receive regular updates from other users, one must first follow them.
|
|
Begin at the
|
|
.Pa honkers
|
|
tab.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar url
|
|
field is required.
|
|
Either of two forms are accepted, the user's handle (or webfinger) or their
|
|
ActivityPub actor URL.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
field is optional and will be automatically inferred.
|
|
Examples:
|
|
.Dl @user@example.social
|
|
.Dl https://example.social/users/user
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After following a fellow honker, they may be added to one or more
|
|
.Ic combos .
|
|
These are accessed via the
|
|
.Pa combos
|
|
tab and allow easy access to particular groupings.
|
|
The special combo name of one hyphen
|
|
.Sq -
|
|
will remove a honker's posts from the primary feed.
|
|
.Ss Viewing
|
|
The primary feed is accessed via the home tab.
|
|
It will contain posts from all followed honkers.
|
|
Posts mentioning the user, both followed and not, are collected under the
|
|
.Pa @me
|
|
tab.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Individual honks contain a visual representation of the honker's ID,
|
|
their name, the activity (with a link back to origin), a link to the
|
|
parent post if applicable, and the convoy (thread) identifier.
|
|

|
|
.It Ic zonk
|

|
|
When deleting one's own post, other servers will be requested to remove it,
|
|
but this is unreliable.
|
|
.It Ic ack
|
|
Acknowledge reading this post.
|
|
Typically if it's a reply to one's own post.
|
|
.It Ic edit
|
|
Change it up.
|
|
Alas, Update activities do not federate reliably.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Honking
|
|
Refer to the
|
|
.Xr honk 5
|
|
section of the manual.
|
|
.Ss HFCS
|
|
Sometimes other users of the federation can get unruly.
|
|
The honk filtering and censorship system,
|
|
.Xr hfcs 1 ,
|
|
can be of great use to restore order to one's timeline.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is designed to work with most browsers, but for optimal results it is
|
|
recommended to use a
|
|
2015 or later Thinkpad X1 Carbon with 2560x1440 screen running
|
|
.Ox
|
|
and chromium at 150% scaling with the dwm window manager.
|
|
This will enable the main menu to line up just right.
