And don’t get me wrong, #Meta is an evil empire and that wants to drain humanity of anything they can in order to turn a profit. I just want to be able to follow my friends and for them to be able to follow me. I scared too many people away from #Mastodon because I introduced them to it too soon (it was around 2017).

#Threads #ActivityPub

I had hopes that #Threads would fully embrace #ActivityPub, but now it’s been quite a while since they made any improvements on that front and the things they have implemented feel like half-measures at best and segregation in other cases.

@JeremyMallin this #Fediverse you speak of would include the #ActivityPub protocol, but I think it also encompasses #Deltachat, #XMPP, #Matrix, and even email. Those protocols all also Federate, and are all implemented in various #OpenSource servers.

@kitkat @alteredspecifis @d1 @JeremyMallin

#Fediverse = decentralized, interconnected, #socialMedia platforms that use #openProtocols

It does not matter which #protocols are used. #ActivityPub, #Diaspora, #XMPP, #OStatus, whatever.

See #Libervia by @Goffi!

RE: https://mastodon.social/@dansup/115596350786859898

Debating whether I should make Public playlists an OrderedCollection so they can be federated.

Since we allow playlist reordering, need to take that into consideration too.

Loops + Playlists, shipping soon!

Loops Playlists

Decided to try out #Bonfire

Not sure what to think. It's a test server, not federated, not a lot there.

https://campground.bonfire.cafe/@transicorn

Edit: Doesn't seem to be used by many, it's the main instance, some posts are a few years old and whenever trying to change and save settings i get error messages. Logged out and my header image disappeared.

So that was a very short test.

#ActivityPub #BonfireSocial #SocialMedia

@saxifraga There are more than 20 users because my profile isn't on that list.

But the fact that 2 years in to their demo instance running you can't even load the list of users doesn't bode well for the project overall imo.

It seems like it could be cool but i sincerely doubt it's going to ever be something like the other projects that already use #ActivityPub we all connect with already here.

@saxifraga I'm interested in decentralization so part of me hopes it will mature and become a thing, but i'm just unsure of how many are using it as well as how many are actually running instances of it that are federated.

If it allows users to natively connect to both #ActivityPub and #ATProto networks without a bridge that would be interesting. Unsure how far along that is but it was something i recall them promoting as a goal somewhere when looking into it initially.

Previous edition: https://mitra.social/objects/019a841a-6ed9-3f60-73ef-d558b9db5abb

I could use some #FediHelp with some website traffic weirdness I have encountered.

I use a #WordPress blog with the #ActivityPub plugin. This means that I get #Fediverse -based requests that look like this in the #Apache logs:

"POST /wp-json/activitypub/1.0/actors/1/inbox HTTP/1.1"

So far, so unspectacular. In the latest logs - spanning from 20/Nov/2025:01:49:32 to 21/Nov/2025:05:49:47 - I've had 2046 such requests. Most of these are one-time affairs.

However, 1099 of these requests are from mastodon.sdf.org , which is very suspicious. They are very evenly spread, too - a new request comes every minute or two.

This instance is on #Mastodon 4.1.25. Does this version have a known bug where it sends the same request over and over again?

@SDF

There's no maintained #ActivityPub library for #JavaScript. I'll have to implement my own...

I've been here for years and I still haven't cracked the Fediverse code.

On Twitter I could post "eating cereal" and get 50 bot likes + one crypto bro following me.
Here I can post a 30-second video of my cat trying to fight the vacuum cleaner with the caption "me when someone's instance federates with threads dot net" and… absolute silence. Not even a sympathy boost from the admin who literally pays for the server I'm yelling on 😭

So please, someone finally explain the secret sauce:
Do I need to switch my cat to a vegan gluten-free diet? Do I have to mention systemd negatively in every post? Or is the real trick sacrificing a Raspberry Pi to the old gods of ActivityPub??

#Fediverse #Mastodon #CatsOfMastodon #ActivityPub #SystemdHateClub #PleaseBoostImBeggingYou

Mesmo que ainda não houvesse isso, o projeto tem sido bem receptivo a colaboração caso alguém queira implementar uma nova função que faça sentido no seu propósito.

Der Artikel zur Kombination des ActivityPub Plugins mit der Bridge zu Bluesky hat gerade auch nochmal ein Update bekommen.

Viel Spaß damit.
#activityPubPlugIn #activityPub #bluesky #bridge

Die Zitierfunktion hält nun auf Mastodon Einzug. Und natürlich ist das ActivityPub Plugin darauf bereits vorbereitet:

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).

Improved lowercasing in hashtags (contributed by postscriptum).

A search-by-url tweak for implementations that return 200 for invalid webfinger queries (e.g. piefed).

Mastodon API: added follow confirmation endpoints, fixed collisions in attachment file names.

Fixed potential crashes in attachment uploads.

Notifications are now shown in a more compact way (i.e. all reactions are shown just above your post, instead of repeating the post ad nauseam for every reaction).

New command-line option unmute to, well, no-longer-mute an actor.

The private timeline now includes an approximate mark between new posts and "already seen" ones.

Fixed a spurious 404 error in the instance root URL for some configurations.
