TwitterCard meta tags are supposed to use the attributes "name" and "content".
OpenGraph tags use the attributes "property" and "content".
Twitter itself is smart enough to detect broken meta tags and discover the TwitterCard
using "property" and "content", but other platforms that only implement parsing of TwitterCards
and not OpenGraph may fail to correctly detect the tags as they're under the wrong attributes.

> so there is no need to modify existing Open Graph protocol markup if it already exists." [0]

Until now it was returning a 500 because the upload plug were going
through the changeset and ending in the JSON encoder, which raised
because struct has to @derive the encoder.
Some software, like GoToSocial, expose replies as ActivityPub
Collections, but do not expose any item array directly in the object,
causing validation to fail via the ObjectID validator. Now, Pleroma will
drop that field in this situation too.
When someone isn't a superuser any more, they shouldn't see the reporsts any more either.
Here we delete the report notifications from a user when that user gets updated from being a superuser to a non-superuser.
This will prevent a user with a large number of posts from negatively affecting performance of the outgoing federation queue if they delete their account.
The header name was Report-To, not Reply-To.
In any case, that's now being changed to the Reporting-Endpoints HTTP
Response Header.
https://w3c.github.io/reporting/#headerhttps://github.com/w3c/reporting/issues/177
CanIUse says the Report-To header is still supported by current Chrome
and friends.
https://caniuse.com/mdn-http_headers_report-to
It doesn't have any data for the Reporting-Endpoints HTTP header, but
this article says Chrome 96 supports it.
https://web.dev/reporting-api/
(Even though that's come out one year ago, that's not compatible with
Network Error Logging which's still using the Report-To version of the
API)

Non-Create/Listen activities had their associated object field
normalized and fetched, but only to use their `id` field, which is both
slow and redundant. This also failed on Undo activities, which delete
the associated object/activity in database.
Undo activities will now render properly and database loads should
improve ever so slightly.
User keys are now generated on user creation instead of "when needed",
to prevent race conditions in federation and a few other issues. This
migration will generate keys missing for local users.
This fixes a race condition bug where keys could be regenerated
post-federation, causing activities and HTTP signatures from an user to
be dropped due to key differences.
As this plug is called on every request, this should reduce load on the
database by not requiring to select on the users table every single
time, and to instead use the by-ID user cache whenever possible.
There are two reasons for adding a GET endpoint:
0: Barely displaying the form does not change anything on the server.
1: It makes frontend development easier as they can now use a link,
instead of a form, to allow remote users to interact with local ones.
Some software, like GoToSocial, expose replies as ActivityPub
Collections, but do not expose any item array directly in the object,
causing validation to fail via the ObjectID validator. Now, Pleroma will
drop that field in this situation too.
The (request-target) used by Pleroma is non-standard, but many HTTP
signature implementations do it this way due to a misinterpretation of
the draft 06 of HTTP signatures: "path" was interpreted as not having
the query, though later examples show that it must be the absolute path
with the query part of the URL as well.
This behavior is kept to make sure most software (Pleroma itself,
Mastodon, and probably others) do not break, but Pleroma now accepts
signatures for a (request-target) containing the query, as expected by
many HTTP signature libraries, and clarified in the draft 11 of HTTP
signatures.
Additionally, the new draft renamed (request-target) to @request-target.
We now support both for incoming requests' signatures.
`context` fields for objects and activities can now be generated based
on the object/activity `inReplyTo` field or its ActivityPub ID, as a
fallback method in cases where `context` fields are missing for incoming
activities and objects.
Incoming Pleroma replies to a Misskey thread were rejected due to a
broken context fix, which caused them to not be visible until a
non-Pleroma user interacted with the replies.
This fix properly sets the post-fix object context to its parent Create
activity as well, if it was changed.
These objects represent from 30 to 70% of the rows on the objects table,
based on numbers from a few live instances (single-user, small, large.)
As those pseudo-objects prevent creating objects with those actual IDs,
deleting them is a better solution. This could have happened if an
object used another object's ID as its context.
This field replaces the now deprecated conversation_id field, and now
exposes the ActivityPub object `context` directly via the MastoAPI
instead of relying on StatusNet-era data concepts.
This field seems to be a left-over from the StatusNet era.
If your application uses `pleroma.conversation_id`: this field is
deprecated.
It is currently stubbed instead by doing a CRC32 of the context, and
clearing the MSB to avoid overflow exceptions with signed integers on
the different clients using this field (Java/Kotlin code, mostly; see
Husky and probably other mobile clients.)
This should be removed in a future version of Pleroma. Pleroma-FE
currently depends on this field, as well.
30 to 70% of the objects in the object table are simple JSON objects
containing a single field, 'id', being the context's ID. The reason for
the creation of an object per context seems to be an old relic from the
StatusNet era, and has only been used nowadays as an helper for threads
in Pleroma-FE via the `pleroma.conversation_id` field in status views.
An object per context was created, and its numerical ID (table column)
was used and stored as 'context_id' in the object and activity along
with the full 'context' URI/string.
This commit removes this field and stops creation of objects for each
context, which will also allow incoming activities to use activity IDs
as contexts, something which was not possible before, or would have been
very broken under most circumstances.
The `pleroma.conversation_id` field has been reimplemented in a way to
maintain backwards-compatibility by calculating a CRC32 of the full
context URI/string in the object, instead of relying on the row ID for
the created context object.
Moderators were able to delete statusses via pleroma-fe. For that reason I now gave them :messages_delete by default.
They are also able to recieve reports through the notifications. For that reason I now gave them :reports_manage_reports by default.
They were also able to see deactivated accounts through pleroma-fe. However
* they were unable to tell if the account is deactivated or not (which was a bug and fixed by thes privileges MR this commit is part of)
* they were not able to actually change the activation state.
Because of this, I decided to *not* give them the privilege :users_manage_activation_state as this would give significantly more
privileges, while not giving it will actually improve the current experience as it works around the existing bug of not showing activation state.
This implements fully_qualify_emoji/1, which will return the
fully-qualified version of an emoji if it knows of one, or return the
emoji unmodified if not.
This code generates combinations per emoji: for each FE0F, all possible
combinations of the character being removed or staying will be
generated. This is made as an attempt to find all partially-qualified
and unqualified versions of a fully-qualified emoji.
I have found *no cases* for which this would be a problem, after
browsing the entire emoji list in emoji-test.txt. This is safe, and,
sadly, most likely the sanest too.
Tries fully-qualifying emoji when receiving them, by adding the emoji
variation sequence to the received reaction emoji.
This issue arises when other instance software, such as Misskey, tries
reacting with emoji that have unqualified or minimally qualified
variants, like a red heart. Pleroma only accepts fully qualified emoji
in emoji reactions, and refused those emoji. Now, Pleroma will attempt
to properly qualify them first, and reject them if checks still fail.
This commit contains changes to tests proposed by lanodan.

This is based on me setting one up, but I kept it general with mostly linking to other documentation.
The idea is that to just provide some Pleroma-specific info, maybe give some pointers, and point to the right (external) docs.
It used a timer to sleep.
But time also goes on when doing other things, so depending on hardware, the timings could be off.
I slightly changed the tests so we still test what we functionally want.
Instead of waiting until the cache expires I now have a function to expire the test and use that.
That means we're not testing any more if the cache really expires after a certain amount of time,
but that's the responsability of the dependency imo, so shouldn't be a problem.
I also changed `Pleroma.Web.Endpoint, :http, :ip` to `127.0.0.1` because that's the setting people typically have,
and I see no reason to do it differently.
Especially since it's an exernal ip, which may come over as weird or suspicious to people.
It is possible for an earlier Update to be received by us later.
For this, we now
(1) only allows Updates to poll counts if there is no updated field,
or the updated field is the same as the last updated date or
creation date;
(2) does not allow updating anything if the updated field
is older than the last updated date or creation date;
(3) allows updating updatable fields otherwise (normal updates);
(4) if only the updated field is changed, it does not create
a new history item on its own.
In Create validator we do not validate the object data,
but that is because the object itself will go through the
pipeline again, which is not the case for Update. Thus,
we added validation for objects in Update activities.
I renamed some tags before, but forgot to rename the pipelines
I also had some tags which I forgot to add to the config, description, etc.
These have now been done/added
The previous pictures were labeled as public domain, but are actually a collage of pictures under other licenses.
I now replaced them with a jpeg of simply a white pixel.
I used keyword_list[:key], but if the key doesn't exist, it will return nil. I actually expect a list and further down the code I use that list.
I believe the key should always be present, but in case it's not, it's better to return an empty list instead of nil. That way the code wont fail further down the line.
During attachment upload Pleroma returns a "description" field. Pleroma-fe has an MR to use that to pre-fill the image description field, <https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma-fe/-/merge_requests/1399>
* This MR allows Pleroma to read the EXIF data during upload and return the description to the FE
* If a description is already present (e.g. because a previous module added it), it will use that
* Otherwise it will read from the EXIF data. First it will check -ImageDescription, if that's empty, it will check -iptc:Caption-Abstract
* If no description is found, it will simply return nil, just like before
* When people set up a new instance, they will be asked if they want to read metadata and this module will be activated if so
This was taken from an MR i did on Pleroma and isn't finished yet.
I first focussed on getting things working
Now that they do and we know what tags there are, I put some thought in providing better names
I use the form <what_it_controls>_<what_it_allows_you_to_do>
:statuses_read => :messages_read
:status_delete => :messages_delete
:user_read => :users_read
:user_deletion => :users_delete
:user_activation => :users_manage_activation_state
:user_invite => :users_manage_invites
:user_tag => :users_manage_tags
:user_credentials => :users_manage_credentials
:report_handle => :reports_manage_reports
:emoji_management => :emoji_manage_emoji
Tries fully-qualifying emoji when receiving them, by adding the emoji
variation sequence to the received reaction emoji.
This issue arises when other instance software, such as Misskey, tries

in emoji reactions, and refused those emoji. Now, Pleroma will attempt
to properly qualify them first, and reject them if checks still fail.
Deactivated users are only visible to users privileged with :user_activation since fc317f3b17
Here we also make sure the users who are deactivated get the status deactivated for users who are allowed to see these users
Instead of `Pleroma.User.all_superusers()` we now use `Pleroma.User.all_superusers(:report_handle)`
I also changed it for sending emails, but there were no tests.
This should eventually replace the Pleroma.User.all_superusers/0 function
* I added a new param `is_privileged` in User.query
* Now we can fetch all users with a specified privilege
Before we deleted the notifications, but that was a side effect and didn't always trigger any more.
Now we just hide them when an unprivileged user asks them.
This reverts commit 89667189b8 and cdc5bbe836.
This is a side effect when changing user role.
The goal was to not have report notifications when someone isn't admin or moderator any more.
But this won't be triggered when we change the privilege tags for a role, so we can't use this sollution any more.
There was another solution to filter out report notifications during fetch.
It wasn't merged because this seemed 'cleaner' at the time, but now it seems the better sollution.
I'll add it in the next commit.
I still had three endpoints I didn't really know what to do with them. I added them under separate tags
* :instance_delete
* :moderation_log_read
* :stats_read
I also checked and these are the last changes done by MR https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/merge_requests/3480/diffs this is trying to fix
One of the things we do during the tests is change the config. But that's global state and different tests were interfering.
E.g. one test would set `clear_config([:instance, :admin_privileges], [:statuses_read])`, but while that runs, another test may
do `clear_config([:instance, :admin_privileges], [:user_invite])`. Now the code for the first test checks the setting, and it
finds `:user_invite` instead of `:statuses_read`.
Now the modules where this happens are marked to run synchronously, so they don't interfere with each other.
The list of TLS versions was added by
8bd2b6eb13 when hackney version was
pinned to 1.15.2. Later hackney version was upgraded
(166455c884) but the list of TLS
versions wasn't removed. From the hackney point of view, this list has
been replaced by the OTP defaults since 0.16.0
(734694ea4e24f267864c459a2f050e943adc6694).
It looks like the same issue already occurred before:
0cb7b0ea84.

* rejected_shortcodes is defined as a list of strings in the
configuration description. As such, database-based configuration was
led to handle those settings as strings, and not as the actually
expected type, Regex.
* This caused each message passing through this MRF, if a rejected
shortcode was set and the emoji did not exist already on the instance,
to fail federating, as an exception was raised, swiftly caught and
mostly silenced.
* This commit fixes the issue by introducing new behavior: strings are
now handled as perfect matches for an emoji shortcode (meaning that if
the emoji-to-be-pulled's shortcode is in the blacklist, it will be
rejected), while still supporting Regex types as before.
It retrieved two ReportNotes and then checked one of them. But the order isn't guaranteed, while the test tested on the content of the first ReportNote.
I made the test on the content more generic
When someone isn't a superuser any more, they shouldn't see the reporsts any more either.
Here we delete the report notifications from a user when that user gets updated from being a superuser to a non-superuser.
elixir gettext current does not fully support fallback to another language [0].
But it might in the future. We adapt it so that all languages in Accept-Language
headers are received by Pleroma.Web.Gettext. User.languages is now a comma-separated
list.
[0]: https://github.com/elixir-gettext/gettext/issues/303
For an example, here, zh is not supported, but zh_Hans and zh_Hant
are. If the user asks for zh, we should choose a variant for them
instead of fallbacking to default.
Some browsers (e.g. Firefox) does not allow users to customize
their language codes. For example, there is no zh-Hans, but only
zh, zh-CN, zh-TW, zh-HK, etc. This provides a workaround for
those users suffering from bad design decisions.
For some reason I had a test who suddenly failed, mix test test/pleroma/web/o_auth/app_test.exs:54. A user has a list of applications and this test adds them and then sees if the list it gets back is the same as the apps it added.
When I ran mix test a day before I didn't have this problem and when I pushed code today in a different MR, the pipeline succeeded (see https://git.pleroma.social/ilja/pleroma/-/jobs/205827), yet locally it failed. So it seems the test can sometimes succeed and sometimes fail, which makes it untrustworthy.
The failure I see is because the returned list is in reverse order. I assume that's not per sé wrong. You just want to know if the apps you added are actually there. I fixed the test by first ordering the lists before comparing.
AFAICT (and as far as that's relevant) the test got introduced in commit cb2a072e62
Even though latest PleromaFE supports displaying these properly, mobile
apps still exist, so I think we should offer a workaround to those who
want it.
Elixir 1.13 does not allow them in raw form anymore, resulting in errors
like this when running the test:
== Compilation error in file test/pleroma/web/rich_media/parser_test.exs ==
** (SyntaxError) test/pleroma/web/rich_media/parser_test.exs:136:45: invalid bidirectional formatting character in string: \u202C. If you want to use such character, use it in its escaped \u202C form instead
0: Use the CommonAPI unfollow function to make sure the
unfollow activity is federated.
1: Limit the follow and unfollow to local followers only,
while let the romote servers decide whether to move their followers.
Ref: emit-move
So we can skip updating and installing the same packages a million
times. It will still grab the hex.pm stuff -- maybe we can find a way to
avoid this, too.
Erratic tests are now ran in their own task, so we don't block
normal testing. The runtime is under a minute, so even if this one
has to be retried, it shouldn't take forever.
Mastodon uses the Reject activity also for the purpose of removing
a follower, in addition to reject a follow request. We should
also update the original Follow activity in this case.
Notes:
- QuestionValidator didn't have a :name field but that seems like a mistake
- `_fields` functions can't inherit others because of some Validators
- bto/bcc fields were absent in activities, also seems like a mistake
(Well IIRC we don't or barely support bto/bcc anyway)
* Policies were put under a new module (Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.Policy instead of Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF), but this wasn't changed in the Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF @mrf_config_descriptions
* I don't have a unit test to prevent similar problems in the future because I don't find a proper way to do it
* The descriptions in the unit tests are defined in the unit tests, so if someone changes module names in the code, the tests wont see it

The original approach to search in GIN indexes is to use

while `to_tsvector(config, text)` does. This commit changed the
query to use the two-argument `to_tsvector()`.

The `::regconfig::oid` hack is needed because Postgrex does not support

* Policies were put under a new module (Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF.Policy instead of Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF), but this wasn't changed in the Pleroma.Web.ActivityPub.MRF @mrf_config_descriptions
* I don't have a unit test to prevent similar problems in the future because I don't find a proper way to do it
* The descriptions in the unit tests are defined in the unit tests, so if someone changes module names in the code, the tests wont see it
* The list is generated in Pleroma.Docs.Generator.list_behaviour_implementations, but I can't do a check in the when clause of the function to see if the provided module is a behaviour or not.
AFAIK OTP releases are the recomended way of installing, but
* People seem unaware of that and use from source installations because they use the guide with the name of their distro
* People don't know what OTP releases are or what it means
I added a warning on all installation-from-source guides and added the same explanation on the two OTP pages (the miigration to OTP and installing OTP)

* kePlaceholder and valuePlaceholder of quarantined_instances where in wrong case, should be snake_case
* The mrf simple and transparency exclusion were already OK
* I also added for keywordpolicy as well now. It was done in the admin-fe, but is better to be done here
* I also added comments to explain why we did the _info keys (backwards compatibility)
* ./configuration/mrf.md
* Change example
* ./configuration/cheatsheet.md
* Change descriptions to include that a reason is given
* CHANGELOG.md
* Add as breaking change
Added a new field in the nodeinfo called quarantined_instances_info
This holds an object like `"quarantined_instances_info":{"quarantined_instances":{"quar.inst":{"reason":"whatever reason"}}}}`
It's easiest (and imo most proper) to use tuples {"instance, "reason"} in BE,
but for FE maps like %{"instance": "instance", "reason", "reason"} are better.
I changed it so that node_info returns maps now for simple_policy and quarantined instances.
When a setting was deprecated, the code would stop checking for the rest of the possible deprications. This also meant that the settings weren't rewritten to the new settings for deprecated settings besides the first one.
No test was done for quarantined instances yet. I added a factory for followers_only notes and checked
* That no followers only post is send when the target server is quarantined
* That a followers only post is send when the target server is not quarantined
Fixes a lot of warnings like the following while running the testsuite:
warning: passing a {module, function, args} tuple to Plug.Parsers.MULTIPART is deprecated. Please see Plug.Parsers.MULTIPART module docs for better approaches to configuration
This might mean no more dynamic configuration but there seems to be the same limitation two lines underneath anyway.
This brings them more in line with Mastodon.
- Deduplicates display name from the title and content
- Removes arbitrary limits on the size of the embedded image
- Removes angled double quotes from embed descriptions. These would normally just indicate that the content is a quote, but that is already implied by the content being in an embed.
Since mime 1.6.0:
warning: MIME.valid?/1 is deprecated. Use MIME.extensions(type) != [] instead
As for the bitstring(type) part it's because MIME.extensions only expects a string.

OpenAPI: Fix `date-time` being specified as an `integer` in OpenAPI spec (when it should be a `string`) in AccountCreateResponse

- save object ids on pin, instead of activity ids
- pins federation
- removed pinned_activities field from the users table
- activityPub endpoint for user pins
- pulling remote users pins
Sometimes people put emoji in the subject, which results in the subject
looking broken if someone replies to it from a server that does not
have the said emoji under the same shortcode. This patch solves the problem
by extending the emoji set available in the summary to that of the parent
post.
If we avoid URI.merge unless we know we need it we reduce the edge cases we could encounter.
The site would need to both have "//" in the %URI{:path} and the image needs to be a relative URL.
This setting defaults to false so the relay host will be used in an MX query so
multiple SMTP servers can be used. gen_smtp code states that all records returned from the
MX query are attempted in order and only a permanent SMTP error will stop the client from
attempting other servers in the list. Connection failures, TLS issues, etc will cause it to
try the next host.
If there is no MX record associated with the relay host, it automatically tries connecting to it
directly.
There is really no reason to expose this to end users. The default value is fine for everyone.
This fixes connection failures when trying to retrieve large files.
It is less common in typical Pleroma usage, but it's possible to encounter
this on a cloud instance with lower memory.
Currently only works if the reporting actor is an admin, but if we include
moderators with those who receive notification reports it will work for them.
Too many changes in OpenAPI spec to describe each one, but
basically it is tag fixes, bringing consitency to operation summaries
and fixing some incorrect information.
Configurable limits for ConcurrentLimiter for Pleroma.Web.RichMedia.Helpers & Pleroma.Web.MediaProxyWarmingPolicy
See merge request pleroma/pleroma!3248
* I cretaed a folder 'development'
* I split up the file dev.md into three parts and moved it to this folder
* index.md
* authentication_authorization.md
* mrf.md
* I also moved ap_extensions.md
* I created a new file setting_up_pleroma_dev.md
This will 'time travel', i.e. change the inserted_at and update_at
fields of the object in question. This is used to backdate things
were we used sleeping before to ensure time differences.
In general, tests that match these criteria can be made async:
- Doesn't use real Cachex.
- Doesn't write to the Config / Application Environment.
- Uses Mock. Using Mox is fine.
- Uses the streamer.
Caching can't work in async tests, so for them it is mocked to a
null cache that is always empty. Synchronous tests are stubbed
with the real Cachex, which is emptied after every test.
- pleroma.config dump: prints the entire config as it would be exported to the filesystem
- pleroma.config dump KEY: prints the configuration under a specific ConfigDB key in the database
- pleroma.config keylist: lists the available keys in ConfigDB
- pleroma.config keydel KEY: deletes ConfigDB entry stored under the key
This should prevent the need for users to manually execute SQL queries.
This allows to format Japanese furigana (aka ruby) notation.

Added
- Support returning result as iodata and as safe iodata
Fixed
- Hashtags followed by HTML tags "a", "code" and "pre" were not detected
- Incorrect parsing of HTML links inside HTML tags
- Punctuation marks in the end of urls were included in the html links
- Incorrect parsing of mentions with symbols before them
Current FedSocket implementation has a bunch of problems. It doesn't
have proper error handling (in case of an error the server just doesn't
respond until the connection is closed, while the client doesn't match
any error messages and just assumes there has been an error after 15s)
and the code is full of bad descisions (see: fetch registry which uses
uuids for no reason and waits for a response by recursively querying a
ets table until the value changes, or double JSON encoding).
Sometime ago I almost completed rewriting fedsockets from scrach to
adress these issues. However, while doing so, I realized that fedsockets
are just too overkill for what they were trying to accomplish, which is
reduce the overhead of federation by not signing every message.
This could be done without reimplementing failure states and endpoint
logic we already have with HTTP by, for example, using TLS cert auth,
or switching to a more performant signature algorithm. I opened
https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/issues/2262 for further
discussion on alternatives to fedsockets.
From discussions I had with other Pleroma developers it seems like they
would approve the descision to remove them as well,
therefore I am submitting this patch.
* These are the first small steps for issue 2034 "Reports should send a notification to admins".
* I added a new type of notification "pleroma:report" to the the database manually (a migration will need to be written later)
* I added the new type to the notification_controller
* I made the view return the notification. It doesn't include the report itself (yet)
Validate the content-type of the response when fetching an object,
according to https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#x3-2-retrieving-objects.
content-type headers had to be added to many mocks in order to support
this, some of this was done with a regex. While I did go over the
resulting files to check I didn't modify anything unrelated, there is a
possibility I missed something.
Closes pleroma#1948
While taking a final look at instance.gen before releasing I noticed
that the release_env task outputs messages in broken english. Upon
further inspection it seems to have even more severe issues which, in
my opinion, warrant it's at least temporary removal:
- We do not explain what it actually does, anywhere. Neither the task
docs nor instance.gen, nor installation instructions.
- It does not respect FHS on OTP releases (uses /opt/pleroma/config even
though we store the config in /etc/pleroma/config.exs).
- It doesn't work on OTP releases, which is the main reason it exists.
Neither systemd nor openrc service files for OTP include it.
- It is not mentioned in install guides other than the ones for Debian
and OTP releases.
ConversationView: add current user to conversations, according to Mastodon behaviour, fix last_status.account being not filled
Closes#2217
See merge request pleroma/pleroma!3089
Closes#2275
As discovered in the issue, captcha used Tesla.get instead of
Pleroma.HTTP. I've also grep'ed the repo and changed the other place
where this was used.
Hint from Phoenix 1.4.17, which has a connect/7 shim:
lib/phoenix/socket/transport.ex:
def connect(endpoint, handler, _transport_name, transport, serializers, params, _pid \\ self()) do
IO.warn "Phoenix.Socket.Transport.connect/7 is deprecated"
handler.connect(%{
endpoint: endpoint,
transport: transport,
options: [serializer: serializers],
params: params
})
end

# Differences in Mastodon API responses from vanilla Mastodon
A Pleroma instance can be identified by "<Mastodonversion> (compatible; Pleroma <version>)" present in `version` field in response from `/api/v1/instance`
## Flake IDs
Pleroma uses 128-bit ids as opposed to Mastodon's 64 bits. However just like Mastodon's ids they are lexically sortable strings
## Timelines
Adding the parameter `with_muted=true` to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.
Adding the parameter `exclude_visibilities` to the timeline queries will exclude the statuses with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`), e.g., `exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
Adding the parameter `reply_visibility` to the public and home timelines queries will filter replies. Possible values: without parameter (default) shows all replies, `following` - replies directed to you or users you follow, `self` - replies directed to you.
## Statuses
- `visibility`: has an additional possible value `list`
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `local`: true if the post was made on the local instance
- `conversation_id`: the ID of the AP context the status is associated with (if any)
- `direct_conversation_id`: the ID of the Mastodon direct message conversation the status is associated with (if any)
- `in_reply_to_account_acct`: the `acct` property of User entity for replied user (if any)
- `content`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `content` property with the key being it's mimetype. Currently the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
- `spoiler_text`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `spoiler_text` property with the key being it's mimetype. Currently the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
- `expires_at`: a datetime (iso8601) that states when the post will expire (be deleted automatically), or empty if the post won't expire
- `thread_muted`: true if the thread the post belongs to is muted
- `emoji_reactions`: A list with emoji / reaction maps. The format is `{name: "☕", count: 1, me: true}`. Contains no information about the reacting users, for that use the `/statuses/:id/reactions` endpoint.
- `parent_visible`: If the parent of this post is visible to the user or not.
## Media Attachments
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `mime_type`: mime type of the attachment.
### Attachment cap
Some apps operate under the assumption that no more than 4 attachments can be returned or uploaded. Pleroma however does not enforce any limits on attachment count neither when returning the status object nor when posting.
### Limitations
Pleroma does not process remote images and therefore cannot include fields such as `meta` and `blurhash`. It does not support focal points or aspect ratios. The frontend is expected to handle it.
## Accounts
The `id` parameter can also be the `nickname` of the user. This only works in these endpoints, not the deeper nested ones for following etc.
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id`
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id/statuses`
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `ap_id`: nullable URL string, ActivityPub id of the user
- `background_image`: nullable URL string, background image of the user
- `tags`: Lists an array of tags for the user
- `relationship` (object): Includes fields as documented for Mastodon API https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/relationship/

- `hide_follows`: boolean, true when the user has follow hiding enabled
- `hide_followers_count`: boolean, true when the user has follower stat hiding enabled
- `hide_follows_count`: boolean, true when the user has follow stat hiding enabled
- `settings_store`: A generic map of settings for frontends. Opaque to the backend. Only returned in `/api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials` and `/api/v1/accounts/update_credentials`
- `chat_token`: The token needed for Pleroma chat. Only returned in `/api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials`
- `deactivated`: boolean, true when the user is deactivated
- `allow_following_move`: boolean, true when the user allows automatically follow moved following accounts
- `unread_conversation_count`: The count of unread conversations. Only returned to the account owner.
- `unread_notifications_count`: The count of unread notifications. Only returned to the account owner.
- `notification_settings`: object, can be absent. See `/api/pleroma/notification_settings` for the parameters/keys returned.
- `accepts_chat_messages`: boolean, but can be null if we don't have that information about a user
- `favicon`: nullable URL string, Favicon image of the user's instance
### Source
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `show_role`: boolean, nullable, true when the user wants his role (e.g admin, moderator) to be shown

## Conversations
Has an additional field under the `pleroma` object:
- `recipients`: The list of the recipients of this Conversation. These will be addressed when replying to this conversation.
## GET `/api/v1/conversations`
Accepts additional parameters:
- `recipients`: Only return conversations with the given recipients (a list of user ids). Usage example: `GET /api/v1/conversations?recipients[]=1&recipients[]=2`
## Account Search
Behavior has changed:
- `/api/v1/accounts/search`: Does not require authentication
## Search (global)
Unlisted posts are available in search results, they are considered to be public posts that shouldn't be shown in local/federated timeline.
## Notifications
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `is_seen`: true if the notification was read by the user
### Move Notification
The `type` value is `move`. Has an additional field:
- `target`: new account
### EmojiReact Notification
The `type` value is `pleroma:emoji_reaction`. Has these fields:
- `emoji`: The used emoji
- `account`: The account of the user who reacted
- `status`: The status that was reacted on
## GET `/api/v1/notifications`
Accepts additional parameters:
- `exclude_visibilities`: will exclude the notifications for activities with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`). Usage example: `GET /api/v1/notifications?exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
- `include_types`: will include the notifications for activities with the given types. The parameter accepts an array of types (`mention`, `follow`, `reblog`, `favourite`, `move`, `pleroma:emoji_reaction`). Usage example: `GET /api/v1/notifications?include_types[]=mention&include_types[]=reblog`.
Additional parameters can be added to the JSON body/Form data:
- `preview`: boolean, if set to `true` the post won't be actually posted, but the status entitiy would still be rendered back. This could be useful for previewing rich text/custom emoji, for example.
- `content_type`: string, contain the MIME type of the status, it is transformed into HTML by the backend. You can get the list of the supported MIME types with the nodeinfo endpoint.
- `to`: A list of nicknames (like `lain@soykaf.club` or `lain` on the local server) that will be used to determine who is going to be addressed by this post. Using this will disable the implicit addressing by mentioned names in the `status` body, only the people in the `to` list will be addressed. The normal rules for for post visibility are not affected by this and will still apply.
- `visibility`: string, besides standard MastoAPI values (`direct`, `private`, `unlisted` or `public`) it can be used to address a List by setting it to `list:LIST_ID`.
- `expires_in`: The number of seconds the posted activity should expire in. When a posted activity expires it will be deleted from the server, and a delete request for it will be federated. This needs to be longer than an hour.
- `in_reply_to_conversation_id`: Will reply to a given conversation, addressing only the people who are part of the recipient set of that conversation. Sets the visibility to `direct`.
The maximum number of statuses is limited to 100 per request.

- `accepts_chat_messages` - if false, this account will reject all chat messages.
All images (avatar, banner and background) can be reset to the default by sending an empty string ("") instead of a file.
### Pleroma Settings Store
Pleroma has mechanism that allows frontends to save blobs of json for each user on the backend. This can be used to save frontend-specific settings for a user that the backend does not need to know about.
The parameter should have a form of `{frontend_name: {...}}`, with `frontend_name` identifying your type of client, e.g. `pleroma_fe`. It will overwrite everything under this property, but will not overwrite other frontend's settings.
This information is returned in the `/api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials` endpoint.
## Authentication
*Pleroma supports refreshing tokens.*
`POST /oauth/token`
Post here request with `grant_type=refresh_token` to obtain new access token. Returns an access token.
## Account Registration
`POST /api/v1/accounts`
Has theses additional parameters (which are the same as in Pleroma-API):
- `captcha_answer_data`: optional, contains provider-specific captcha data
- `token`: invite token required when the registrations aren't public.
## Instance
`GET /api/v1/instance` has additional fields
- `max_toot_chars`: The maximum characters per post
- `chat_limit`: The maximum characters per chat message
- `description_limit`: The maximum characters per image description
- `poll_limits`: The limits of polls
- `upload_limit`: The maximum upload file size
- `avatar_upload_limit`: The same for avatars
- `background_upload_limit`: The same for backgrounds
- `banner_upload_limit`: The same for banners
- `background_image`: A background image that frontends can use
- `pleroma.metadata.features`: A list of supported features
- `pleroma.metadata.federation`: The federation restrictions of this instance
- `pleroma.metadata.fields_limits`: A list of values detailing the length and count limitation for various instance-configurable fields.
- `pleroma.metadata.post_formats`: A list of the allowed post format types
- `vapid_public_key`: The public key needed for push messages
## Markers
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `unread_count`: contains number unread notifications
## Streaming
There is an additional `user:pleroma_chat` stream. Incoming chat messages will make the current chat be sent to this `user` stream. The `event` of an incoming chat message is `pleroma:chat_update`. The payload is the updated chat with the incoming chat message in the `last_message` field.
## Not implemented
Pleroma is generally compatible with the Mastodon 2.7.2 API, but some newer features and non-essential features are omitted. These features usually return an HTTP 200 status code, but with an empty response. While they may be added in the future, they are considered low priority.

# How to use a different domain name for Pleroma and the users it serves
Pleroma users are primarily identified by a `user@example.org` handle, and you might want this identifier to be the same as your email or jabber account, for instance.
However, in this case, you are almost certainly serving some web content on `https://example.org` already, and you might want to use another domain (say `pleroma.example.org`) for Pleroma itself.
Pleroma supports that, but it might be tricky to set up, and any error might prevent you from federating with other instances.
*If you are already running Pleroma on `example.org`, it is no longer possible to move it to `pleroma.example.org`.*
## Account identifiers
It is important to understand that for federation purposes, a user in Pleroma has two unique identifiers associated:
- A webfinger `acct:` URI, used for discovery and as a verifiable global name for the user across Pleroma instances. In our example, our account's acct: URI is `acct:user@example.org`
- An author/actor URI, used in every other aspect of federation. This is the way in which users are identified in ActivityPub, the underlying protocol used for federation with other Pleroma instances.
In our case, it is `https://pleroma.example.org/users/user`.
Both account identifiers are unique and required for Pleroma. An important risk if you set up your Pleroma instance incorrectly is to create two users (with different acct: URIs) with conflicting author/actor URIs.
## WebFinger
As said earlier, each Pleroma user has an `acct`: URI, which is used for discovery and authentication. When you add @user@example.org, a webfinger query is performed. This is done in two steps:
1. Querying `https://example.org/.well-known/host-meta` (where the domain of the URL matches the domain part of the `acct`: URI) to get information on how to perform the query.
This file will indeed contain a URL template of the form `https://example.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource={uri}` that will be used in the second step.
2. Fill the returned template with the `acct`: URI to be queried and perform the query: `https://example.org/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:user@example.org`
## Configuring your Pleroma instance
**_DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CONFIGURE YOUR INSTANCE THIS WAY IF YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE_**
### Configuring Pleroma
Pleroma has a two configuration settings to enable using different domains for your users and Pleroma itself. `host` in `Pleroma.Web.Endpoint` and `domain` in `Pleroma.Web.WebFinger`. When the latter is not set, it defaults to the value of `host`.
*Be extra careful when configuring your Pleroma instance, as changing `host` may cause remote instances to register different accounts with the same author/actor URI, which will result in federation issues!*
- `domain` - is the domain for which your Pleroma instance has authority, it's the domain used in `acct:` URI. In our example, `domain` would be set to `example.org`. This is used in WebFinger account ids, which are the canonical account identifier in some other fediverse software like Mastodon. **If you change `domain`, the accounts on your server will be shown as different accounts in those software**.
- `host` - is the domain used for any URL generated for your instance, including the author/actor URL's. In our case, that would be `pleroma.example.org`. This is used in AP ids, which are the canonical account identifier in Pleroma and some other fediverse software. **You should not change this after you have set up the instance**.
### Configuring WebFinger domain
Now, you have Pleroma running at `https://pleroma.example.org` as well as a website at `https://example.org`. If you recall how webfinger queries work, the first step is to query `https://example.org/.well-known/host-meta`, which will contain an URL template.
Therefore, the easiest way to configure `example.org` is to redirect `/.well-known/host-meta` to `pleroma.example.org`.
5. Restart your instance and you can now access the Settings tab in AdminFE.

# How to enable text search for Chinese, Japanese and Korean
Pleroma's full text search feature is powered by PostgreSQL's native [text search](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch.html), it works well out of box for most of languages, but needs extra configurations for some asian languages like Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK).
## Setup and test the new search config
In most cases, you would need an extension installed to support parsing CJK text. Here are a few extensions you may choose from, or you are more than welcome to share additional ones you found working for you with the rest of Pleroma community.
* [a generic n-gram parser](https://github.com/huangjimmy/pg_cjk_parser) supports Simplifed/Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
* [a Korean parser](https://github.com/i0seph/textsearch_ko) based on mecab
* [a Japanese parser](https://www.amris.co.jp/tsja/index.html) based on mecab
* [zhparser](https://github.com/amutu/zhparser/) is a PostgreSQL extension base on the Simple Chinese Word Segmentation(SCWS)
* [another Chinese parser](https://github.com/jaiminpan/pg_jieba) based on Jieba Chinese Word Segmentation
Once you have the new search config , make sure you test it with the `pleroma` user in PostgreSQL (change `YOUR.CONFIG` to your real configuration name)
Note: index update may take a while, and it can be done while the instance is up and running, so you may restart db connection as soon as you see `Recreate index` in task output.
## Restart database connection
Since some changes above will only apply with a new database connection, you will have to restart either Pleroma or PostgreSQL process, or use `pg_terminate_backend` SQL command without restarting either.
Now the search results of statuses should be much more friendly for your language of choice, the results for searching users and tags were not changed, as the default parsing/matching should work for most cases.

### MRF policies descriptions
If MRF policy depends on config, it can be added into MRF tab to adminFE by adding `config_description/0` method, which returns a map with a specific structure. See existing MRF's like `lib/pleroma/web/activity_pub/mrf/activity_expiration_policy.ex` for examples. Note that more complex inputs, like tuples or maps, may need extra changes in the adminFE and just adding it to `config_description/0` may not be enough to get these inputs working from the adminFE.
Pleroma is built upon the Erlang/OTP VM known as BEAM. The BEAM VM is highly optimized for latency, but this has drawbacks in environments without dedicated hardware. One of the tricks used by the BEAM VM is [busy waiting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting). This allows the application to pretend to be busy working so the OS kernel does not pause the application process and switch to another process waiting for the CPU to execute its workload. It does this by spinning for a period of time which inflates the apparent CPU usage of the application so it is immediately ready to execute another task. This can be observed with utilities like **top(1)** which will show consistently high CPU usage for the process. Switching between procesess is a rather expensive operation and also clears CPU caches further affecting latency and performance. The goal of busy waiting is to avoid this penalty.
This strategy is very successful in making a performant and responsive application, but is not desirable on Virtual Machines or hardware with few CPU cores. Pleroma instances are often deployed on the same server as the required PostgreSQL database which can lead to situations where the Pleroma application is holding the CPU in a busy-wait loop and as a result the database cannot process requests in a timely manner. The fewer CPUs available, the more this problem is exacerbated. The latency is further amplified by the OS being installed on a Virtual Machine as the Hypervisor uses CPU time-slicing to pause the entire OS and switch between other tasks.
More adventurous admins can be creative with CPU affinity (e.g., *taskset* for Linux and *cpuset* on FreeBSD) to pin processes to specific CPUs and eliminate much of this contention. The most important advice is to run as few processes as possible on your server to achieve the best performance. Even idle background processes can occasionally create [software interrupts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt) and take attention away from the executing process creating latency spikes and invalidation of the CPU caches as they must be cleared when switching between processes for security.
Please only change these settings if you are experiencing issues or really know what you are doing. In general, there's no need to change these settings.
## VPS Provider Recommendations
### Good
* Hetzner Cloud
### Bad
* AWS (known to use burst scheduling)
## Example configurations
Tuning the BEAM requires you provide a config file normally called [vm.args](http://erlang.org/doc/man/erl.html#emulator-flags). If you are using systemd to manage the service you can modify the unit file as such:
Check your OS documentation to adopt a similar strategy on other platforms.
### Virtual Machine and/or few CPU cores
Disable the busy-waiting. This should generally only be done if you're on a platform that does burst scheduling, like AWS.
**vm.args:**
```
+sbwt none
+sbwtdcpu none
+sbwtdio none
```
### Dedicated Hardware
Enable more busy waiting, increase the internal maximum limit of BEAM processes and ports. You can use this if you run on dedicated hardware, but it is not necessary.
**vm.args:**
```

Pleroma performance depends to a large extent on good database performance. The default PostgreSQL settings are mostly fine, but often you can get better performance by changing a few settings.
Pleroma performance is largely dependent on performance of the underlying database. Better performance can be achieved by adjusting a few settings.
You can use [PGTune](https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua) to get recommendations for your setup. If you do, set the "Number of Connections" field to 20, as Pleroma will only use 10 concurrent connections anyway. If you don't, it will give you advice that might even hurt your performance.
## PGTune
We also recommend not using the "Network Storage" option.
[PgTune](https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua) can be used to get recommended settings. Be sure to set "Number of Connections" to 20, otherwise it might produce settings hurtful to database performance. It is also recommended to not use "Network Storage" option.
## Disable generic query plans
When PostgreSQL receives a query, it decides on a strategy for searching the requested data, this is called a query plan. The query planner has two modes: generic and custom. Generic makes a plan for all queries of the same shape, ignoring the parameters, which is then cached and reused. Custom, on the contrary, generates a unique query plan based on query parameters.
By default PostgreSQL has an algorithm to decide which mode is more efficient for particular query, however this algorithm has been observed to be wrong on some of the queries Pleroma sends, leading to serious performance loss. Therefore, it is recommended to disable generic mode.
Pleroma already avoids generic query plans by default, however the method it uses is not the most efficient because it needs to be compatible with all supported PostgreSQL versions. For PostgreSQL 12 and higher additional performance can be gained by adding the following to Pleroma configuration:
```elixir
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Repo,
prepare: :named,
parameters: [
plan_cache_mode: "force_custom_plan"
]
```
A more detailed explaination of the issue can be found at <https://blog.soykaf.com/post/postgresql-elixir-troubles/>.
Note the extra `static` folder for the terms-of-service.html
Terms of Service will be shown to all users on the registration page. It's the best place where to write down the rules for your instance. You can modify the rules by adding and changing `$static_dir/static/terms-of-service.html`.
## Styling rendered pages
To overwrite the CSS stylesheet of the OAuth form and other static pages, you can upload your own CSS file to `instance/static/static.css`. This will completely replace the CSS used by those pages, so it might be a good idea to copy the one from `priv/static/instance/static.css` and make your changes.
* Pleroma supports hierarchical OAuth scopes, just like Mastodon but with added granularity of admin scopes. For a reference, see [Mastodon OAuth scopes](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/oauth-scopes/).
* It is important to either define OAuth scope restrictions or explicitly mark OAuth scope check as skipped, for every controller action. To define scopes, call `plug(Pleroma.Web.Plugs.OAuthScopesPlug, %{scopes: [...]})`. To explicitly set OAuth scopes check skipped, call `plug(:skip_plug, Pleroma.Web.Plugs.OAuthScopesPlug <when ...>)`.
* In controllers, `use Pleroma.Web, :controller` will result in `action/2` (see `Pleroma.Web.controller/0` for definition) be called prior to actual controller action, and it'll perform security / privacy checks before passing control to actual controller action.
For routes with `:authenticated_api` pipeline, authentication & authorization are expected, thus `OAuthScopesPlug` will be run unless explicitly skipped (also `EnsureAuthenticatedPlug` will be executed immediately before action even if there was an early run to give an early error, since `OAuthScopesPlug` supports `:proceed_unauthenticated` option, and other plugs may support similar options as well).
For `:api` pipeline routes, it'll be verified whether `OAuthScopesPlug` was called or explicitly skipped, and if it was not then auth information will be dropped for request. Then `EnsurePublicOrAuthenticatedPlug` will be called to ensure that either the instance is not private or user is authenticated (unless explicitly skipped). Such automated checks help to prevent human errors and result in higher security / privacy for users.
* With HTTP Basic Auth, OAuth scopes check is _not_ performed for any action (since password is provided during the auth, requester is able to obtain a token with full permissions anyways). `Pleroma.Web.Plugs.AuthenticationPlug` and `Pleroma.Web.Plugs.LegacyAuthenticationPlug` both call `Pleroma.Web.Plugs.OAuthScopesPlug.skip_plug(conn)` when password is provided.

### Posting a chat message
Posting a chat message for given Chat id works like this:
# Differences in Mastodon API responses from vanilla Mastodon
A Pleroma instance can be identified by "<Mastodonversion> (compatible; Pleroma <version>)" present in `version` field in response from `/api/v1/instance`
## Flake IDs
Pleroma uses 128-bit ids as opposed to Mastodon's 64 bits. However, just like Mastodon's ids, they are lexically sortable strings
## Timelines
Adding the parameter `with_muted=true` to the timeline queries will also return activities by muted (not by blocked!) users.
Adding the parameter `exclude_visibilities` to the timeline queries will exclude the statuses with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`), e.g., `exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
Adding the parameter `reply_visibility` to the public and home timelines queries will filter replies. Possible values: without parameter (default) shows all replies, `following` - replies directed to you or users you follow, `self` - replies directed to you.
Adding the parameter `instance=lain.com` to the public timeline will show only statuses originating from `lain.com` (or any remote instance).
Home, public, hashtag & list timelines accept these parameters:
- `only_media`: show only statuses with media attached
- `local`: show only local statuses
- `remote`: show only remote statuses
## Statuses
- `visibility`: has additional possible values `list` and `local` (for local-only statuses)
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `local`: true if the post was made on the local instance
- `conversation_id`: the ID of the AP context the status is associated with (if any)
- `direct_conversation_id`: the ID of the Mastodon direct message conversation the status is associated with (if any)
- `in_reply_to_account_acct`: the `acct` property of User entity for replied user (if any)
- `content`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `content` property with the key being its mimetype. Currently, the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
- `spoiler_text`: a map consisting of alternate representations of the `spoiler_text` property with the key being its mimetype. Currently, the only alternate representation supported is `text/plain`
- `expires_at`: a datetime (iso8601) that states when the post will expire (be deleted automatically), or empty if the post won't expire
- `thread_muted`: true if the thread the post belongs to is muted
- `emoji_reactions`: A list with emoji / reaction maps. The format is `{name: "☕", count: 1, me: true}`. Contains no information about the reacting users, for that use the `/statuses/:id/reactions` endpoint.
- `parent_visible`: If the parent of this post is visible to the user or not.
- `pinned_at`: a datetime (iso8601) when status was pinned, `null` otherwise.
The `GET /api/v1/statuses/:id/source` endpoint additionally has the following attributes:
- `content_type`: The content type of the status source.
## Scheduled statuses
Has these additional fields in `params`:
- `expires_in`: the number of seconds the posted activity should expire in.
## Media Attachments
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `mime_type`: mime type of the attachment.
### Attachment cap
Some apps operate under the assumption that no more than 4 attachments can be returned or uploaded. Pleroma however does not enforce any limits on attachment count neither when returning the status object nor when posting.
### Limitations
Pleroma does not process remote images and therefore cannot include fields such as `meta` and `blurhash`. It does not support focal points or aspect ratios. The frontend is expected to handle it.
## Accounts
The `id` parameter can also be the `nickname` of the user. This only works in these endpoints, not the deeper nested ones for following etc.
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id`
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id/statuses`
`/api/v1/accounts/:id/statuses` endpoint accepts these parameters:
- `pinned`: include only pinned statuses
- `tagged`: with tag
- `only_media`: include only statuses with media attached
- `with_muted`: include statuses/reactions from muted accounts
- `exclude_reblogs`: exclude reblogs
- `exclude_replies`: exclude replies
- `exclude_visibilities`: exclude visibilities
Endpoints which accept `with_relationships` parameter:
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id`
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id/followers`
- `/api/v1/accounts/:id/following`
- `/api/v1/mutes`
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `ap_id`: nullable URL string, ActivityPub id of the user
- `background_image`: nullable URL string, background image of the user
- `tags`: Lists an array of tags for the user
- `relationship` (object): Includes fields as documented for Mastodon API https://docs.joinmastodon.org/entities/relationship/
- `is_moderator`: boolean, nullable, true if user is a moderator
- `is_admin`: boolean, nullable, true if user is an admin
- `confirmation_pending`: boolean, true if a new user account is waiting on email confirmation to be activated
- `hide_favorites`: boolean, true when the user has hiding favorites enabled
- `hide_followers`: boolean, true when the user has follower hiding enabled
- `hide_follows`: boolean, true when the user has follow hiding enabled

### Source
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `show_role`: boolean, nullable, true when the user wants his role (e.g admin, moderator) to be shown
- `no_rich_text` - boolean, nullable, true when html tags are stripped from all statuses requested from the API
- `discoverable`: boolean, true when the user allows external services (search bots) etc. to index / list the account (regardless of this setting, user will still appear in regular search results)
- `actor_type`: string, the type of this account.
## Conversations
Has an additional field under the `pleroma` object:
- `recipients`: The list of the recipients of this Conversation. These will be addressed when replying to this conversation.
## GET `/api/v1/conversations`
Accepts additional parameters:
- `recipients`: Only return conversations with the given recipients (a list of user ids). Usage example: `GET /api/v1/conversations?recipients[]=1&recipients[]=2`
## Account Search
Behavior has changed:
- `/api/v1/accounts/search`: Does not require authentication
## Search (global)
Unlisted posts are available in search results, they are considered to be public posts that shouldn't be shown in local/federated timeline.
## Notifications
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `is_seen`: true if the notification was read by the user
### Move Notification
The `type` value is `move`. Has an additional field:
- `target`: new account
### EmojiReact Notification
The `type` value is `pleroma:emoji_reaction`. Has these fields:
- `emoji`: The used emoji
- `account`: The account of the user who reacted
- `status`: The status that was reacted on
### ChatMention Notification (not default)
This notification has to be requested explicitly.
The `type` value is `pleroma:chat_mention`
- `account`: The account who sent the message
- `chat_message`: The chat message
### Report Notification (not default)
This notification has to be requested explicitly.
The `type` value is `pleroma:report`
- `account`: The account who reported
- `report`: The report
## GET `/api/v1/notifications`
Accepts additional parameters:
- `exclude_visibilities`: will exclude the notifications for activities with the given visibilities. The parameter accepts an array of visibility types (`public`, `unlisted`, `private`, `direct`). Usage example: `GET /api/v1/notifications?exclude_visibilities[]=direct&exclude_visibilities[]=private`.
- `include_types`: will include the notifications for activities with the given types. The parameter accepts an array of types (`mention`, `follow`, `reblog`, `favourite`, `move`, `pleroma:emoji_reaction`, `pleroma:chat_mention`, `pleroma:report`). Usage example: `GET /api/v1/notifications?include_types[]=mention&include_types[]=reblog`.
Additional parameters can be added to the JSON body/Form data:
- `preview`: boolean, if set to `true` the post won't be actually posted, but the status entity would still be rendered back. This could be useful for previewing rich text/custom emoji, for example.
- `content_type`: string, contain the MIME type of the status, it is transformed into HTML by the backend. You can get the list of the supported MIME types with the nodeinfo endpoint.
- `to`: A list of nicknames (like `lain@soykaf.club` or `lain` on the local server) that will be used to determine who is going to be addressed by this post. Using this will disable the implicit addressing by mentioned names in the `status` body, only the people in the `to` list will be addressed. The normal rules for post visibility are not affected by this and will still apply.
- `visibility`: string, besides standard MastoAPI values (`direct`, `private`, `unlisted`, `local` or `public`) it can be used to address a List by setting it to `list:LIST_ID`.
- `expires_in`: The number of seconds the posted activity should expire in. When a posted activity expires it will be deleted from the server, and a delete request for it will be federated. This needs to be longer than an hour.
- `in_reply_to_conversation_id`: Will reply to a given conversation, addressing only the people who are part of the recipient set of that conversation. Sets the visibility to `direct`.
The maximum number of statuses is limited to 100 per request.
## PATCH `/api/v1/accounts/update_credentials`
Additional parameters can be added to the JSON body/Form data:
- `no_rich_text` - if true, html tags are stripped from all statuses requested from the API
- `hide_followers` - if true, user's followers will be hidden
- `hide_follows` - if true, user's follows will be hidden
- `hide_followers_count` - if true, user's follower count will be hidden
- `hide_follows_count` - if true, user's follow count will be hidden

- `also_known_as` - array of ActivityPub IDs, needed for following move
- `pleroma_background_image` - sets the background image of the user. Can be set to "" (an empty string) to reset.
- `discoverable` - if true, external services (search bots) etc. are allowed to index / list the account (regardless of this setting, user will still appear in regular search results).
- `actor_type` - the type of this account.
- `accepts_chat_messages` - if false, this account will reject all chat messages.
- `language` - user's preferred language for receiving emails (digest, confirmation, etc.)
All images (avatar, banner and background) can be reset to the default by sending an empty string ("") instead of a file.
### Pleroma Settings Store
Pleroma has mechanism that allows frontends to save blobs of json for each user on the backend. This can be used to save frontend-specific settings for a user that the backend does not need to know about.
The parameter should have a form of `{frontend_name: {...}}`, with `frontend_name` identifying your type of client, e.g. `pleroma_fe`. It will overwrite everything under this property, but will not overwrite other frontend's settings.
This information is returned in the `/api/v1/accounts/verify_credentials` endpoint.
## Authentication
*Pleroma supports refreshing tokens.*
### POST `/oauth/token`
You can obtain access tokens for a user in a few additional ways.
#### Refreshing a token
To obtain a new access token from a refresh token, pass `grant_type=refresh_token` with the following extra parameters:
- `refresh_token`: The refresh token.
#### Getting a token with a password
To obtain a token from a user's password, pass `grant_type=password` with the following extra parameters:
- `username`: Username to authenticate.
- `password`: The user's password.
#### Response body
Additional fields are returned in the response:
- `id`: The primary key of this token in Pleroma's database.
- `me` (user tokens only): The ActivityPub ID of the user who owns the token.
## Account Registration
`POST /api/v1/accounts`
Has these additional parameters (which are the same as in Pleroma-API):
- `captcha_answer_data`: optional, contains provider-specific captcha data
- `token`: invite token required when the registrations aren't public.
- `language`: optional, user's preferred language for receiving emails (digest, confirmation, etc.), default to the language set in the `userLanguage` cookies or `Accept-Language` header.
## Instance
`GET /api/v1/instance` has additional fields
- `max_toot_chars`: The maximum characters per post
- `chat_limit`: The maximum characters per chat message
- `description_limit`: The maximum characters per image description
- `poll_limits`: The limits of polls
- `upload_limit`: The maximum upload file size

- `banner_upload_limit`: The same for banners
- `background_image`: A background image that frontends can use
- `pleroma.metadata.features`: A list of supported features
- `pleroma.metadata.federation`: The federation restrictions of this instance
- `pleroma.metadata.fields_limits`: A list of values detailing the length and count limitation for various instance-configurable fields.
- `pleroma.metadata.post_formats`: A list of the allowed post format types
- `vapid_public_key`: The public key needed for push messages
## Push Subscription
`POST /api/v1/push/subscription`
`PUT /api/v1/push/subscription`
Permits these additional alert types:
- pleroma:chat_mention
- pleroma:emoji_reaction
## Markers
Has these additional fields under the `pleroma` object:
- `unread_count`: contains number unread notifications
## Streaming
### Chats
There is an additional `user:pleroma_chat` stream. Incoming chat messages will make the current chat be sent to this `user` stream. The `event` of an incoming chat message is `pleroma:chat_update`. The payload is the updated chat with the incoming chat message in the `last_message` field.
### Remote timelines
For viewing remote server timelines, there are `public:remote` and `public:remote:media` streams. Each of these accept a parameter like `?instance=lain.com`.
### Follow relationships updates
Pleroma streams follow relationships updates as `pleroma:follow_relationships_update` events to the `user` stream.
The message payload consist of:
- `state`: a relationship state, one of `follow_pending`, `follow_accept` or `follow_reject`.
- `follower` and `following` maps with following fields:
- `id`: user ID
- `follower_count`: follower count
- `following_count`: following count
## User muting and thread muting
Both user muting and thread muting can be done for only a certain time by adding an `expires_in` parameter to the API calls and giving the expiration time in seconds.
## Not implemented
Pleroma is generally compatible with the Mastodon 2.7.2 API, but some newer features and non-essential features are omitted. These features usually return an HTTP 200 status code, but with an empty response. While they may be added in the future, they are considered low priority.

Parameters:
- (required) `file`: The file being uploaded
- (optionnal) `description`: A plain-text description of the media, for accessibility purposes.
Response: HTTP 201 Created with the object into the body, no `Location` header provided as it doesn't have an `id`
The object given in the reponse should then be inserted into an Object's `attachment` field.
## ChatMessages
`ChatMessage`s are the messages sent in 1-on-1 chats. They are similar to
`Note`s, but the addresing is done by having a single AP actor in the `to`
field. Addressing multiple actors is not allowed. These messages are always
private, there is no public version of them. They are created with a `Create`
activity.
They are part of the `litepub` namespace as `http://litepub.social/ns#ChatMessage`.
* Pleroma supports hierarchical OAuth scopes, just like Mastodon but with added granularity of admin scopes. For a reference, see [Mastodon OAuth scopes](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/api/oauth-scopes/).
* It is important to either define OAuth scope restrictions or explicitly mark OAuth scope check as skipped, for every controller action. To define scopes, call `plug(Pleroma.Web.Plugs.OAuthScopesPlug, %{scopes: [...]})`. To explicitly set OAuth scopes check skipped, call `plug(:skip_plug, Pleroma.Web.Plugs.OAuthScopesPlug <when ...>)`.
* In controllers, `use Pleroma.Web, :controller` will result in `action/2` (see `Pleroma.Web.controller/0` for definition) be called prior to actual controller action, and it'll perform security / privacy checks before passing control to actual controller action.
For routes with `:authenticated_api` pipeline, authentication & authorization are expected, thus `OAuthScopesPlug` will be run unless explicitly skipped (also `EnsureAuthenticatedPlug` will be executed immediately before action even if there was an early run to give an early error, since `OAuthScopesPlug` supports `:proceed_unauthenticated` option, and other plugs may support similar options as well).
For `:api` pipeline routes, it'll be verified whether `OAuthScopesPlug` was called or explicitly skipped, and if it was not then auth information will be dropped for request. Then `EnsurePublicOrAuthenticatedPlug` will be called to ensure that either the instance is not private or user is authenticated (unless explicitly skipped). Such automated checks help to prevent human errors and result in higher security / privacy for users.
## Non-OAuth authentication
* With non-OAuth authentication ([HTTP Basic Authentication](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Authorization) or HTTP header- or params-provided auth), OAuth scopes check is _not_ performed for any action (since password is provided during the auth, requester is able to obtain a token with full permissions anyways); auth plugs invoke `Pleroma.Helpers.AuthHelper.skip_oauth(conn)` in this case.
## Auth-related configuration, OAuth consumer mode etc.
See `Authentication` section of [the configuration cheatsheet](../configuration/cheatsheet.md#authentication).
When you push changes, a pipeline will start some automated jobs. These are done with so called [runners](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/), services that run somewhere on a server and run these automated jobs. These jobs typically run tests and should pass. If not, you probably need to fix something.
Generally, Pleroma provides a runner, so you don't need to set up your own. However, if for whatever reason you want to set up your own, here's some high level instructions.
1. We use docker to run the jobs, so you should install that. For Debian, you need to allow non-free packages in the [source list](https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList). Then you can install docker with `apt install docker-compose`.
2. You can [install](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/index.html) and [configure](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/register/index.html) a Gitlab-runner. It's probably easiest to install from the packages, but there are other options as well.
3. When registering the runner, you'll need some values. You can find them in the project under your own name. Choose "Settings", "CI/CD", and then expand "Runners". For executor you can choose "docker". For default image, you can use the image used in <https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/-/blob/develop/.gitlab-ci.yml#L1> (although it shouldn't matter much).
Pleroma requires some adjustments from the defaults for running the instance locally. The following should help you to get started.
## Installing
1. Install Pleroma as explained in [the docs](../installation/debian_based_en.md), with some exceptions:
* You can use your own fork of the repository and add pleroma as a remote `git remote add pleroma 'https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma'`
* You can skip systemd and nginx and all that stuff
* No need to create a dedicated pleroma user, it's easier to just use your own user
* For the DB you can still choose a dedicated user, the mix tasks set it up for you so it's no extra work for you
* For domain you can use `localhost`
* instead of creating a `prod.secret.exs`, create `dev.secret.exs`
* No need to prefix with `MIX_ENV=prod`. We're using dev and that's the default MIX_ENV
2. Change the dev.secret.exs
* Change the scheme in `config :pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Endpoint` to http (see examples below)
* If you want to change other settings, you can do that too
3. You can now start the server `mix phx.server`. Once it's build and started, you can access the instance on `http://<host>:<port>` (e.g.http://localhost:4000 ) and should be able to do everything locally you normaly can.
Example config to change the scheme to http. Change the port if you want to run on another port.
Example config to disable captcha. This makes it a bit easier to create test-users.
```elixir
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Captcha,
enabled: false
```
Example config to change the log level to info
```elixir
config :logger, :console,
# :debug :info :warning :error
level: :info
```
## Testing
1. Create a `test.secret.exs` file with the content as shown below
2. Create the database user and test database.
1. You can use the `config/setup_db.psql` as a template. Copy the file if you want and change the database name, user and password to the values for the test-database (e.g. 'pleroma_local_test' for database and user). Then run this file like you did during installation.
2. The tests will try to create the Database, so we'll have to allow our test-database user to create databases, `sudo -Hu postgres psql -c "ALTER USER pleroma_local_test WITH CREATEDB;"`
3. Run the tests with `mix test`. The tests should succeed.
Example content for the `test.secret.exs` file. Feel free to use another user, database name or password, just make sure the database is dedicated for the testing environment.
```elixir
# Pleroma test configuration
# NOTE: This file should not be committed to a repo or otherwise made public
# without removing sensitive information.
import Config
config :pleroma, Pleroma.Repo,
username: "pleroma_local_test",
password: "mysuperduperpassword",
database: "pleroma_local_test",
hostname: "localhost"
```
## Updating
Update Pleroma as explained in [the docs](../administration/updating.md). Just make sure you pull from upstream and not from your own fork.
## Working on multiple branches
If you develop on a separate branch, it's possible you did migrations that aren't merged into another branch you're working on. If you have multiple things you're working on, it's probably best to set up multiple pleroma's each with their own database. If you finished with a branch and want to switch back to develop to start a new branch from there, you can drop the database and recreate the database (e.g. by using `config/setup_db.psql`). The commands to drop and recreate the database can be found in [the docs](../administration/backup.md).

### Pleroma-FE
The default front-end used by Pleroma is Pleroma-FE. You can find more information on what it is and how to use it in the [Introduction to Pleroma-FE](../frontend).
### Mastodon interface
If the Pleroma interface isn't your thing, or you're just trying something new but you want to keep using the familiar Mastodon interface, we got that too!
Just add a "/web" after your instance url (e.g. <https://pleroma.soycaf.com/web>) and you'll end on the Mastodon web interface, but with a Pleroma backend! MAGIC!
The Mastodon interface is from the Glitch-soc fork. For more information on the Mastodon interface you can check the [Mastodon](https://docs.joinmastodon.org/) and [Glitch-soc](https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/) documentation.
Remember, what you see is only the frontend part of Mastodon, the backend is still Pleroma.
The default front-end used by Pleroma is Pleroma-FE. You can find more information on what it is and how to use it in the [Introduction to Pleroma-FE](../frontend).

There are two ways to install Pleroma. You can use OTP releases or do a from-source installation. OTP releases are as close as you can get to binary releases with Erlang/Elixir. The release is self-contained, and provides everything needed to boot it, it is easily administered via the provided shell script to open up a remote console, start/stop/restart the release, start in the background, send remote commands, and more. With from source installations you install Pleroma from source, meaning you have to install certain dependencies like Erlang+Elixir and compile Pleroma yourself.
[YunoHost](https://yunohost.org) is a server operating system aimed at self-hosting. The YunoHost community maintains a package of Pleroma which allows you to install Pleroma on YunoHost. You can install it via the normal way through the admin web interface, or through the CLI. More information can be found at [the repo of the package](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/pleroma_ynh).
## Questions
Questions and problems related to the YunoHost parts can be done through the [regular YunoHost channels](https://yunohost.org/en/help).
