Is this project still maintained? #419

Open marcelfolaron opened 10 months ago

I'd love to use it but it seems there hasn't been any activity since 2022? Thanks.

wokawoka commented 10 months ago

I would also be very interested in knowing that

@marcelfolaron @wokawoka I have been following the project for some time to see if it becomes stable to the point where I could deploy it in production. Development seems to have slowed down. From other reports, it seems that version 5 does not work. Version 4 might still work, but it is unmaintained.

@vaughngx4 put in a lot of work to get socioboard 5 to run and eventually made a new project with a similar goal, but I am not sure if it works yet. If you look through the issues related to linux and docker, you will inevitably find the state of the project and all of the ways to get it running if you want to try Socioboard yourself.

I also found Ferdium which seems to have integrations working for just about all social media platforms, but I have not had the chance to try it yet.

Hi all, OpenSMM works but only for Twitter and only the development branch currently due to build errors in the main branch and me not having the time to clean up the dev branch to merge to main. I am working on getting a CI/CD pipeline running for the project using Jenkins.

I haven't managed to get any of the actual posting working in SocioBoard 5 but the easiest way to try it would be the Docker setup. Just be sure to read the various ReadMe files because it can get slightly confusing for people new to networking/hosting. Be sure to leave AMember disabled as this is a paid third party web application that was originally required to used v5. I have (probably?) disabled most, if not all of it when I was working on the project so long as the .env file is set correctly.

@vaughngx4 Before Twitter rebranded to X, they disabled posting through the API. Does OpenSMM use a different method?

vaughngx4 commented 10 months ago

@TechnologyClassroom Ah if that's true then OpenSMM won't work anymore, I haven't tested it in a while. Will have to look into storing Twitter logins encrypted so that we can move to browser based posting. I have experience with puppeteer so we will most likely move all WIP API usage to browser based using Chromium, although we might run into issues with media. I will post something on our Discord server soon.

Some social networks' APIs have changed and some features no longer work. I have found a few paid sources that can work similarly to stackposts,...

TechnologyClassroom commented 3 months ago

I think Ferdium is the only free option that is maintained.

This is really misleading ferdium is a completely different tool, and doesn't seem to have integrated social media platforms APIs to be able to post or schedule post right from the app.

@Xsmael Look at https://github.com/ferdium/ferdium-recipes/tree/main/recipes

Ferdium is great but no version of it I have used is an alternative to this feature-wise. Using multiple platforms manually from within a desktop app is not the same thing as having a content management tool for scheduling and posting to those platforms. Has Ferdium added some new functionality in the last year or so to account for this?

TechnologyClassroom commented 3 weeks ago

I haven't tried it, but it looked like it scratched the itch from the outside.

Yeah, given how many platforms are hostile toward third party apps and API usage at this point, even though Ferdium is not in the same class of apps functionally, it still may be the best option for many people who are being forced to go back to managing all of this crap manually in the respective sites again.

TechnologyClassroom commented 3 weeks ago

Do you know if these missing features have been turned into feature requests on the Ferdium issue tracker? (Since I haven't used Ferdium, I don't know if this is a dumb question.)
