    ap, the ActivityPub API command-line client

    As part of my book "ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web", I created a coding example to show how to program for the ActivityPub API. ap is a command-line client, written in Python, for doing basic tasks with ActivityPub.For example, you can log into a server using this command: ap login yourname@yourserver.example Once you're logged in, you can follow someone: ap follow other@different.example Or, you could post some content: ap create note --public "Hello, World" This isn't […] [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

    As part of my book “ActivityPub: Programming for the Social Web“, I created a coding example to show how to program for the ActivityPub API. ap is a command-line client, written in Python, for doing basic tasks with ActivityPub.

    For example, you can log into a server using this command:

    ap login yourname@yourserver.example

    Once you’re logged in, you can follow someone:

    ap follow other@different.example

    Or, you could post some content:

    ap create note --public "Hello, World"

    This isn’t enough to have a real social networking experience, but I think it’s pretty useful for testing an ActivityPub API server, or automating some repetitive tasks.

    I should note quickly here that not all ActivityPub servers support the ActivityPub API. It’s an under-utilized part of the ActivityPub standard. In particular, Mastodon, Threads, Flipboard, and other services don’t support the API. There’s a pretty good list of servers and clients that do support the API in this Codeberg issue.

    Suffice it to say, unless you’re actively working with one of those platforms, or you are writing your own, you’re not going to get much use out of ap. It will probably give you an error message like “No OAuth endpoints found” if it can’t use the service.

    Refreshing the project

    I’ve never packaged ap for distribution; it was always supposed to be example code. But given the recent interest in the ActivityPub API, including the work going on in the ActivityPub API task force, I decided to get it into shape for installation by developers working on other apps. My friend Matthias Pfefferle of Automattic asked me about it when we were at FOSDEM this year, and I was embarrassed to see how difficult it was for him to use.

    So, I’ve made two big upgrades to the package. The first was actually making it a package, and distributing it! I upgraded the package management framework to uv, which seems like a good bet for now, and pushing the application to PyPI, the Python Package Index. It’s visible at https://pypi.org/project/activitypub-cli/ now. (Note: different package name from the command name! The PyPI “ap” package name was taken a while ago.)

    You can now install the application in one shot with this command on a computer that has Python on it:

    pipx install activitypub-cli

    You can test that the application installed correctly in your path by running the version command:

    ap version

    That should show the same version as is currently on the pypi.org page for the project.

    The second change was implementing the current OAuth 2.0 profile best practices. I’ve upgraded the login flow so it tries a lot of different options for identifying itself to the server: CIMD, FEP d8c2, and Dynamic Client Registration. It tries to do them in preferential order; it uses permanent, global client identifiers before dynamic ones.

    Help me test

    I’m especially interested in testing this command-line client against other servers. If you’re developing an ActivityPub API server, please install the ap command and try it out against your (development!) server. Report a bug if it doesn’t work well, or send me a DM at @evanprodromou if it works OK. Given time, I think ap can be a useful first smoke test for ActivityPub API implementations.

    Today, I will be importing the Mastodon archive of @hashtaggames into our new blog where the games are now being federated across the Open Web. It is not supposed to import as new posts and the dates are supposed to be retained. I hope this works and I hope I don’t spam the tag.

          #ActivityPub support in #Madblog

          https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com/article/Madblog-federated-blogging-from-markdown

          I am glad to announce that Madblog has now officially joined the #Fediverse family.

          If you want to test it out, search for this URL on your Fediverse client.

          Madblog has already supported #Webmentions for the past couple of weeks, allowing your blog posts to be mentioned by other sites with Webmentions support (WordPress, Lemmy, HackerNews…) and get those mentions directly rendered on your page.

          It now adds ActivityPub support too, using #Pubby, another little Python library that I’ve put together myself (just like Webmentions) as a mean to quickly plug ActivityPub support to any Python Web app.

          Webmentions and Pubby follow similar principles and implement a similar API, and you can easily use them to add federation support to your existing Web applications - a single bind_webmentions or bind_activitypub call to your existing Flask/FastAPI/Tornado application should suffice for most of the cases.

          Madblog may have now become the easiest way to publish a federated blog - and perhaps the only way that doesn’t require a database, everything is based on plain Markdown files.

          If you have a registered domain and a certificate, then hosting your federated blog is now just a matter of:

          mkdir -p ~/madblog/markdown
cat <<EOF > ~/madblog/markdown/hello-world.md
# My first post

This is my first post on [Madblog](https://git.fabiomanganiello.com/madblog)!
EOF

docker run -it \
  -p 8000:8000 \
  -v "$HOME/madblog:/data" \
  quay.io/blacklight/madblog

          And Markdown files can be hosted wherever you like - a Git folder, an Obsidian Vault, a Nextcloud Notes installation, a folder on your phone synchronized over SyncThing…

          Federation support is also at a quite advanced state compared to e.g. #WriteFreely. It currently supports:

          • Interactions rendered on the articles: if you like, boost, quote or reply to an article, all interactions are rendered directly at the bottom of the article (interactions with WriteFreely through federated accounts were kind of lost in the void instead)

          • Guestbook support (optional): mentions to the federated Madblog handle that are not in response to articles are now rendered on a separate /guestbook route

          • Email notifications: all interactions can have email notifications

          • Support for quotes, also on Mastodon

          • Support for mentions, just drop a @joe@example.com in your Markdown file and Joe will get a notification

          • Support for hashtag federation

          • Support for split-domain configurations, you can host your blog on blog.example.com but have a Fediverse handle like @blog@example.com. Search by direct post URL on Mastodon will work with both cases

          • Support for custom profile fields, all rendered on Mastodon, with verification support

          • Support for moderation, either through blocklist or allowlist, with support for rules on handles/usernames, URLs, domains or regular expressions

          • A partial (but comprehensive for the provided features) implementation of the Mastodon API

          If you want you can follow both the profiles of my blogs - they are now both federated:

          • My personal blog: @fabio (it used to run WriteFreely before, so if you followed it you may need to unfollow it and re-follow it)

          • The #Platypush blog: @blog

                Every day I’m more convinced that the Fediverse’s slow mainstream adoption isn’t really about usability.

                People say it’s because it’s hard to join, the terms are confusing, or the apps aren’t polished enough. Maybe a little. But honestly… look at the platforms people already use.

                Finding anything on LinkedIn is painful.
                Trying to locate the original video on TikTok is a scavenger hunt.
                Facebook is still full of weird bugs and odd UI choices.
                Instagram hides posts behind algorithms.
                Twitter/X constantly changes the rules of engagement.

                None of these platforms are exactly “easy.”

                People stay because their friends are there. Because the big creators are there. Because that’s where the conversation already lives.

                And, if we’re honest, because these platforms are engineered around a very effective reward loop: notifications, likes, infinite scroll. A dopamine machine. You learn the confusing terms and awkward interfaces because there’s a constant reward for doing so.

                So yes, making the Fediverse easier to join absolutely helps.

                But what would help even more is something simpler:
                more mainstream, recognizable, official accounts showing up here.

                That’s how networks grow.
                People follow people not platforms.

                        I wish was a "pull" protocol instead of a "push" protocol. The way it works, whenever you take an action, it sends that action to all followers. I would prefer if it simply stored them and then let each follower pull them when they see fit.

                        That would introduce latency and more async comms as your messages wouldn't pop up into someone elses feed until their software fetch the data, but I think it would make it easier to self host.

                                Recently, there was a discussion about generic #ActivityPub servers. Several people claimed that they were working on one, but it turned out that their "generic" servers only support activities defined in the ActivityPub specification. Such a server shouldn't be called generic. It is not difficult to build, neither it is an interesting concept because competing protocols (e.g. Nostr) already offer much more.

                                I've been writing a #FEP that describes how to build a real generic server. It is not finished yet, but I feel like now is a good time to publish it:

                                FEP-fc48: Generic ActivityPub server

                                This kind of server:

                                - Can process any object type, and can process non-standard activities like EmojiReact.
                                - Compatible with FEP-ae97 clients.
                                - Does not require JSON-LD.

                                I attempted to implement it when I was researching security properties of FEP-ae97 API: https://codeberg.org/silverpill/fep-ae97-server. Back then I didn't know what to do with side effects, but now I think that we can simply force clients to specify them.

Users can store media on their own S3 or WebDAV server, and the resulting URLs are used directly in activities. The relay server handles neither transcoding nor media storage. Each user brings their own resources to the .

                                  If you have a WebDAV/S3 server, the app can upload media there and use public URLs in ActivityPub.

                                  Videos can be compressed before upload. An experimental vertical video feed is available.

                                  A new Discovery timeline lets you explore posts by tags and language.

                                          Ist schon etwas her, dass sich im Beitrag zum etwas getan hat, aber nun war es mal wieder fällig. Später oder im Lauf der nächsten Tage muss ich da wohl nochmal etwas ergänzen. Vorläufig ist aber der Abschnitt über die Buttons in den Fediverse Reaktionen neu hinzugekommen.

                                          Viele Spaß damit.

                                                                I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A linktree.

                                                                It’s designed for two types of people:

But here's the cool part: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

                                                                Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts (, , Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !

                                                                Interested in testing? Reply here, I will reach out in the next 24-48hrs with an invitation link.

                                                                    Hashtag following also allow URLs to RSS feeds of ActivityPub objects (like e.g. https://mastodon.social/tags/ThankYouTuesday).

                                                                    Users can now configure a webhook to receive an HTTP POST for every notification. This can be useful for implementing bots that react to activities, like autorepliers, chatbots or interactive textual games (see snac(1) for more information).

                                                                    The number of pending follow confirmations is shown next to the "people" link.

                                                                    Faster performance metrics (contributed by dandelions).

                                                                      Now if you’re not familiar with Elgg, it’s one of the first ever open source social media platforms. It launched all the way back in 2004 and was founded by @ben and Dave Tosh.

                                                                      I remember installing Elgg 15 years ago, playing around with it for a bit, and not doing much with it because there wasn’t anyone I knew who used it. So ActivityPub will definitely extend its network effect.
