Trying to login using the #raccoonforfriendica app, but when I try to add my instance it gets returned as "invalid". What am I doing wrong?

@raccoonforfriendicaapp This weekend I took some time to investigate how much work would be needed to build an iOS version of the app, and it turned out that at least building and running a basic version of the app is doable with some minor changes (see here).
What do you think about it? Would you like to see a Raccoon on iOS too?

By the way, we take this opportunity to let @deadsuperhero and @alex know that we tried the "Enable Mastodon Apps" plugin with #RaccoonforFriendica, which is an app developed for Friendica by @dieguitux8623.poliverso.org.ap.brid.gy but is also compatible with Mastodon, but also allows you to write in simplified HTML with a very functional toolbar.
Well, it was wonderful to write formatted texts and with links from Raccoon for Friendica, even if I haven't managed to get the mentions to work yet.
Unfortunately, even if Raccoon allows you to publish posts with inline images, it can only do so with Friendica, while with the simple Mastodon API this is not possible.
But the experience was very good
@raccoonforfriendicaapp version 0.4.1 has been finally released! I was waiting to fix a couple of old issues but I realized I was keeping people waiting too much since almost 2 months had passed since the previous stable version.
If you were on the latest beta, the only new feature is the possibility to see in every timeline the "source platform" each post is coming from (Friendica, Mastodon, Lemmy, Misskey/Sharkey, Pleroma/Akkoma, Kbin/Mbin, WordPress, GNU Social, Pixelfed, Peertube, GoToSocial, Diaspora, generic ActivityPub and more are coming).
If you were using 0.4.0 there are a ton of improvements, the most important of which are:
- feat: add per-user rate limits;
- feat: suggest hashtags while typing;
- feat: swipe navigation between posts;
- feat: exclude stop words from timelines;
- feat: add shortcuts to other instances ("guest mode");
- feat: open post detail as thread;
- feat: post translation;
- feat: followed hashtag indication;
- feat: show source protocol for posts;
- enhancement: support for embedded images.
This version is also available in the production track on Google Play, so you don't have to participate in the beta program any more to get it.
Let me know what you think about it, enjoy your weekend and as always #livefasteattrash

@raccoonforfriendicaapp version 0.4.1-beta11 has been released yesterday and is available for testing.
Its "latest and greatest" are:
- tags in post headers in your timeline (if that post is included due to you following one orore hashtags);
- new post detail layout which makes it easier to view relationships between posts and replies and load more replies on demand.
The initial depth of nesting (higher values imply loading will be less performant, lower values imply you'll see more often the "load more replies" button due to threads being partially downloaded).
It is the best I can do with the current Mastodon APIs but it looks ok-ish and, which is more important to the user who asked for this feature I guess, it makes it easier to follow conversations.
Let me know what you think, and if I accidentally broke anything and in the meantime, as usual, #livefasteattrash

La prima app social che ti permette di sfogliare i messaggi con lo scorrimento laterale. Raccon for Friendica (e Mastodon) fa anche questo
Se vuoi provare la nuova funzione, puoi scaricare direttamente il file apk da github

Ich teste gerade die #raccoon for friendica app. Die Steuerung braucht einen Moment aber bisher finde ich die echt gut.
Wenn jetzt noch sowas fΓΌr #mobilizon raus kommt bin ich glΓΌcklich.π

@raccoonforfriendicaapp I'm seeing a lot of new users from Google Play's statistics, even if the app is not yet in the production channel. Welcome everyone, I hope you'll enjoy #friendica and #raccoonforfriendica!
Thanks to all the translators who continued to work on the app UI and store description, your dedication is really appreciated. @Fitik @petrescatraian @TamilNeram @Ricky-Tigg
To old users, I've added two new big features: swipe navigation which allows you to navigate between posts from the conversation detail and the "shortcuts" section, where you can explore other instances and see their local timeline "as if" your were registered there. Plus, as usual, small fixes and enhancements listening to your continuous feedback.
Have a nice weekend and #livefasteattrash

While I do 99% of everything using Windows, I decided to try Raccoon for Friendica for Android, since I was curious about it. I was able to go through the settings, though a few things just said "unlabelled". However, this is one of those apps that won't accept input from a real keyboard. So I couldn't even sign in! It had an instance as an example, but Talkback read it as actual text in the edit field, and when I tried to write my own instance, nothing happened. I also couldn't delete their example. So right now, Raccoon fails in accessibility. However, it is relatively new, so perhaps, this will change in the near future.

Le sette meraviglie di Mastodon glitch-soc (e di poliversity.it)
1) Puoi usare Mastodon Glitch Soc come se fosse un mastodon normale, ma non hai il limite di 500 caratteri
2) Se attivi alcune opzioni, puoi scrivere testo formattato come su Word
3) Puoi usare le normali app per mastodon, ma #RaccoonForFriendica ti offre anche una barra di formattazione e l'anteprima
4) Puoi creare messaggi visibili solo per gli utenti della tua istanza
5) Su mastodon non esistono i gruppi privati, ma c'Γ¨ un escamotage...
6) Se vuoi seguire gli account di Bluesky, puoi farlo
7) Supportare finanziariamente la tua istanza Γ¨ incredibilmente facile π
@raccoonforfriendicaapp We finally did it: we got access to the production channel on Google Play! A big and heartfelt "thank you" to all those who participated in the closed test program, without you this would have been impossible! π¦β€οΈ
The latest beta has been promoted to the "open testing" track, so that now everyone can become a tester and install the latest beta, which is a preview of the next stable release.
I'll wait until I improve notification support, so probably there is another month or so to wait. Keep an eye on the issue tracker to know what I'm working on, just in case π
To try the app, you can become a tester using this invitation link.
Your feedback is important, and now you'll have Google Play's reviews as an additional way to express your opinion. Let me know what you think and always #livefasteattrash

@The Gym Nerd There is no Mastodon that covers Friendica's entire functionality, yes. That's because Mastodon apps generally only cover Mastodon's functionality. Only Fedilab goes further, but even FediLab isn't a full-blown Friendica app.
Dedicated Friendica apps like RaccoonForFriendica, Friendiqa, DiCa and Relatica should cover a great deal more of Friendica's functionality. I'm not quite sure if either of them cover everything, e.g. if you can use them to manage the files in the file storage or integrate a Tumblr account.
I don't think there's a single mobile app that uses the ActivityPub C2S API. All Mastodon apps are built against the Mastodon C2S API, and the Mastodon C2S API doesn't cover anything that Mastodon can't do either.
Friendica has its own client API which dedicated Friendica apps make use of.
A hypothetical universal Fediverse app that covers everything of everything would also have to use all Fediverse client APIs out there.

ActivityPup doesn't automatically mean everyone can do all the stuff the same way as a completely unrelated other platform does.

@neutron_chick If people depend hard on phone apps, if they aren't willing to use any Web interface in any browser, and if nobody knows what a progressive Web is, then Friendica is without any competition. There's better Facebook replacement than Friendica, but it's more complex and harder to get into, and there are no phone apps for it.
Recommended phone app for Friendica would be RaccoonForFriendica.
Also, those who have made it over may want to join the Friendica group Facebook Refugees.
Lastly, remember: All this is the Fediverse. Friendica and Mastodon aren't two separate networks, they are bidirectionally connected and federated.

PS: @dieguitux8623 apprezzerΓ π
@raccoonforfriendicaapp version 0.4.0-beta05 available for testing!
This is mainly a maintenance/bugfix release with no brand new features, just:
- chore(l10n): translation updates;
- fix(10n): format specifier used in hashtag list;
- chore(qa): add more unit tests;
- chore: add mentions of new contributors.
I'm setting up the process to be able to distribute the app on Google Play too. If you are willing to help, we need a minimum number of people to participate in the closed testing program for two weeks before releasing to production. To enroll, first join this group with the same email address you are going to use on Google Play, then download the app using this invitation link.
Any help is highly appreciated! #livefasteatrash

@raccoonforfriendicaapp new version 0.4.0-beta04 available for testing!
Changelog:
- fix for a bug after adding/removing a post to favorites which led to lose custom emojis;
- fix spacing between post and reply placeholders when using the new Card layout;
- fix a minor accessibility issue with the new audio player;
- fix crash when rendering some HTML posts;
- fix "floating" (overlapping) images for embedded contents;
- localization updates (included support for upcoming Romanian translation);
- library updates.
I think we are almost ready for the 0.4 version. In the meantime I've submitted both Raccoon apps to Google Play so I may be needed some volunteers to participate in the closed testing program before the apps can be made available to the general public.
Happy New Year and remember to #livefasteatrash
