The forthcoming #Flickr to #WikimediaCommons tool has a new project page — with pink links! :-) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Flickypedia

This sounds good!

"We've partnered with the Wikimedia Foundation to adopt a tool called Flickr2Commons. We want to look after it and extend its features with the long term in mind. Keep your eyes open for "Flickypedia", which we plan to re-release towards the end of the year."

#Flickr #WikimediaCommons

(Sorry, it was in an email, can't find an online link.)

No way, is there actually going to be some development activity for the #Flickr API?! I hope so. There's a Tech Lead job open at the Flickr Foundation: "Create software and documentation of interactive demos, robust toys, and durable public tools for the Flickr Foundation, often building upon or extending the Flickr API" https://boards.greenhouse.io/flickrorg/jobs/4543479

One of my #staticSites is taking a long time to build, but actually I think it's partly due to #Flickr rate-limiting it (it hits their API for photo metadata). I really should just add a 'cache forever' option, because mostly the metadata doesn't change. (Although I do like the fact that the rebuild process also serves as a way to check that all assets – on Flickr, #Commons, and the #InternetArchive – are still available.)

#Flickr is going to force API requests to have User Agent headers: https://www.flickr.com/groups/api/discuss/72157721918374433/

I wonder if #Flickr minds me filling up their servers with random shots of 'three steps with tactile paving' or 'junction of path with tap nearby', all for sticking in #OpenStreetMap notes and probably not looking at very often ever again?

@dean @blindscribe I do use #Flickr, and would definitely recommend it as a good alternative to Facebook (full-res originals, proper licence metadata, approximate dates, …) but I wouldn't really call it part of the #indieweb. Not yet, anyway (they don't support #ActivityPup). The most #fediverse image system is #pixelfed I think, although I've not used it so can't really say what it's like. :-) https://pixelfed.org/

So Twitter is doing... all *that* -- and meanwhile #Flickr has set up a foundation to figure out how to make people's photos stay online for 100 years. I generally host all my own data, but I do like Flickr's vibe here, and I still recommend them above most other systems for semi-private photo-sharing.

#Flickr already allows rel="me" links on profiles, so it's possible to have validated links on #Mastodon profiles. The trick appears to be to also add noreferrer and nofollow, e.g.:

<a href="https://wikis.world/@samwilson" rel="noreferrer nofollow me">wikis.world/@samwilson</a>

I think #Flickr should get on the #ActivityPub bandwagon and join the fediverse.

Kann sich jemand noch daran erinnern was #Flickr ist?

Maybe it's a matter of doing something akin to #Flickr machine tags, e.g.: https://trove.nla.gov.au/search?l-publictag=wikidata%3DQ33169956 (where the tag is wikidata=Q33169956).

Thanks to @stevenmaguire@twitter.com working on it, I've been looking at PhpFlickr again, and hopefully will have a new release out soon. https://packagist.org/packages/samwilson/phpflickr #flickr

@stibbons I used to use #Piwigo, and loved it for years. Got annoyed at some aspects of developing plugins for it, and now wallow in a pit of disorganised chaos with no clear idea of how to sort out my photos. (I upload whatever is suitable to #Commons, and have built my own clumsy idea of my ideal photo gallery which fails to work for me or anyone. Also #Flickr.)

Ich habe jetzt endlich mal meinen #Flickr-Pro-Account gekündigt.
