jrollans.com is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.

This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.

    I don't pretend to know the tech details of it, but being " alone means nothing

    I visit dozens of ActivityPub instances ever day and I never get auto-logged-in to any of them because I don't have registered profiles on them

      (Using alt acct for higher character limit)

      By the way, what do you mean by

      I don't know how or why I have an account here

      Do you mean an account on the Threadiverse (Reddit-like systems with threaded conversations in topic-based communities: Piefed, Lemmy, Mbin), or even specifically the Film Frames community on Lemmy.World?

      You don't actually need a threadiverse account to see threadiverse posts on Mastodon. (Just one of the ways the different parts of the Fediverse interact through the ActivityPub protocol.)

      Threadiverse posts with hashtags will appear on Mastodon, & you'll see them if you follow the hashtag or that threadiverse user (or if a Mastodon account you follow boosts the post). (I don't know if a Mastodon account can "follow" a threadiverse community the way you can follow a hashtag.)

      Mastodon users can make posts that will also appear in a threadiverse community but only if formatted in a specific way. But I can never remember how to do it 😅 I think it involves:

      • writing the community's name as if it were an account name (e.g. ATfilmframesATlemmyDOTworld).
      • making a 1st paragraph of only one sentence which can serve as the post title (a threadiverse requirement).

      As I already have Piefed & Lemmy accounts, I just use Piefed & make a post with hashtags if I want a post to be visible on both the threadiverse AND Mastodon. (Mbin is another option, a system designed to blend together both the threadiverse & the "blognetworkverse"(?)(Mastodon, GoToSocial etc))

            I see a way to improve activitypub. Build an extension that does not require servers. Instead it would use servers for discovery of running clients.

            Everything else would stay the same except clients can identify by a public key hash instead of domain name.

            This would allow single-user local clients to sync directly or through a instance relay with other local clients when they are online, as well as with public domain-based instances. All posts, media and objects could be stored locally as files instead of using a database engine. This would also make it simple to run clients over TOR.

            Think about it.

            It would blow NOSTR out of the pond.

            The obstacle to this is the mandatory HTTPS requiring use of certificate authorities. The client-only version would have to drop this and use public key of user accounts to secure transfers.

I'm thinking of considering recommending it to a local community group for hosting their videos in a non-commercial space, but they don't really have the means or capacity for self-hosting.

                        9.4.0 — Picture This

                        Images in Fediverse replies, a block to quote posts from the Fediverse, and a name and avatar of its own for your blog profile. Plus another round of security fixes. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

                        Someone replies to your post from Mastodon with a photo. Until now, your blog showed the text and dropped the photo. With 9.4.0 that can change.

                        This release is mostly about what you and your visitors see: images in replies, quotes, and your blog profile. It also contains another round of security fixes, so please update.

                        Images in Replies

                        There is a new option in the ActivityPub settings: Show images attached to replies. When you turn it on, images in replies from the Fediverse show up below the comment text. Image descriptions come along, so the images stay accessible. Replies that are only an image, with no text, are accepted too.

                        The images are cached on your own server, so your visitors never load them from the other server. Up to three images per reply are shown. Images only appear on approved comments. Pending, spam and trashed comments show only their text, and their images are never downloaded.

                        The option is off by default. WordPress itself does not show images in comments, so this changes how your comment section looks, and we did not want to do that without asking. One thing to keep in mind: if your site approves comments automatically, images from other servers become visible without anyone looking at them first.

                        If you turn the option off again, the images disappear and the descriptions show as text. Turn it back on and they come back.

                        Quote Posts From the Fediverse

                        Since 7.7.0, your site can receive quotes. Now it can quote, too.

                        The new Federated Quote block works like the Reply block. Paste the link of a Fediverse post, and the block embeds it in your post. When you publish, your site asks the author of the quoted post for permission. If they agree, your quote is marked as verified on their server. If they decline, your post stays, but the quote turns into a plain link.

                        The editor shows where the request stands, approved or declined. It also warns you if the author does not allow quotes at all. You can still publish in that case, but the author will probably say no.

                        There is also a quote bookmarklet on the Tools screen, next to the reply one. Click it on any Fediverse post and you get a new draft with the Quote block already in place.

                        This depends on the other server. Mastodon supports the permission request since version 4.5. Other software might not answer yet, and then your quote stays unverified.

                        On the receiving side, the Comments screen has a new Source column. It links incoming replies and quote posts to the post they came from.

                        A Name and Face for Your Blog Profile

                        Until now, your blog profile on the Fediverse used your site title as its name and your site icon as its avatar. You can now give it its own. Under Settings → ActivityPub → Blog Profile there is a new name field and an avatar picker. If you leave them empty, nothing changes, and the site title and site icon are used as before.

                        Security, Again

                        As in 9.3.0, this release fixes vulnerabilities that were reported to us.

                        • Signed requests are checked more strictly. They have to be addressed to your site, and signing keys from other servers are verified more carefully.
                        • Blocks are respected everywhere. Accounts you blocked can no longer reply to, like, repost or quote your posts and comments, and only the sender of a reply or like can change or remove it.
                        • Content from other servers is handled more safely when it is imported as posts or comments.
                        • Apps you connect can only do what you allowed them to do, and only on content the connected user is allowed to change.

                        If you run the plugin, please update.

                        Smaller Things You Might Notice

                        • More languages. Posts are federated with the language Polylang assigned, and posts from Mastodon apps keep the language the app set. Handles like @renée@café.example now work in mentions and search.
                        • Blocks that fit your theme. The Followers and Following blocks take their colors and font from your theme, and the Reactions block has a new Counts style that can replace the comments link in a query loop.
                        • Your uploads folder stops growing. Profile pictures were downloaded again on every page view, leaving a copy behind each time. The update removes the extra copies.
                        • Fewer duplicate emails when another server delivers the same message twice, or when a reply also mentions you.
                        • Comments: replies are no longer auto-approved because the account liked a post before, likes and reposts no longer leak into comment lists, and comment links open the right page.
                        • What your followers get: no extra image under your posts, summaries that stop at the “Read more” tag, podcast files from outside your media library, and account moves that are verified and reach your followers.
                        • Apps and the ActivityPub API: mentions from Mastodon apps are federated again, and replies to posts on other servers are delivered.
                        • Compatibility: fixes for WordPress 7.1 and 7.2, PHP 8.5, Polylang, and sites behind a proxy.
                        • Under the hood: remote content is cached through the object cache, and endpoints that other servers call now have a rate limit.

                        The full changelog is in the GitHub repository.

                        Get It

                        Download from WordPress.org or grab it on GitHub. If your site updates automatically, you already have it.

                        Turn on images in replies, try quoting a post, and let us know how it looks on your site. Which servers answer your quote requests, and which ones stay silent?

                                Das Fediverse ist weit mehr als Mastodon. Ob Microblogging, Videos, Bilder, Blogs oder Veranstaltungen: Unterschiedliche Dienste können über offene Protokolle miteinander kommunizieren. Dezentral, unabhängig und ohne einen Konzern, der alles kontrolliert.

                                Das Schaubild ist zwar nicht mehr ganz aktuell, aber die Grundidee dahinter bleibt wichtig.

                                Infografik mit dem Titel »A view into the Fediverse - Who talks to whom - and how?«. Sie zeigt verschiedene dezentrale Plattformen und ihre Vernetzung über offene Protokolle.

                                  Maybe someone with more snac / fedi experience can help me out with this:
                                  Often I'll have a post in my timeline because someone I follow replied to it. I'll see the original post and the reply by the person I follow. When I visit the original post at its instance website, I'll notice it has more replies by other people that don't show in my snac UI, presumably because my instance didn't have them.

                                  I noticed there's a command "collect_replies" and it sounds like this would get the replies so they show up... but it doesn't seem to do anything?

                                  I wonder if I'm misunderstanding how fedi works or what that command does. Can one instance A ask another instance B "give me all replies to that post!" even when the replies are from even other instances C, D, E etc.?

                                                              My mistake was making it easy to run the server on your device, but not to get your own identity.
