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.

Aliás, mastodônticos também reclamam do SNAC por não receberem notificação sem citação literal, mas considero isso um
do
(ou teimosia de quem o desenvolve) que deveria notificar quem escreveu uma publicação quando recebe uma resposta a ela, independentemente do conteúdo. Outros sistemas fazem isso tranquilamente. Já conferi algumas vezes registros que confirmam a entrega da resposta na caixa de entrada do servidor nessa situação.

Fediverse Report 139 - this week's #fediverse news:
- on how the environment and context in which the fediverse, bluesky and the open social web exist is changing and getting more intertwined with politics
- some thoughts on the recent FediForum keynote by @ben
- new #activitypub projects being funded by @nlnet

✅ Onboarding
✅ Auth (with 2FA support/switch account)
✅ In-app registration
The new Loops app is almost ready for you ✨
“We welcome The White House and other government agencies to Bluesky,” a Bluesky spokesperson told WIRED. "We reached out to them right as they joined and verified their accounts."
Don't give them an account and pay those costs. Let them run their own servers and every other server decide how to interact with them. It's called decentralization. What Jay said they were already doing on CNN during the rollout but now still says is almost done. #ActivityPub was available.

I'm excited to show off #Atlas - a social mapping server for the #Fediverse. In about two weeks, we've gone from crazy on I70 to a fledgling app that lets me annotate any location on the globe and share it over #ActivityPub
There's still a lot to do. But there's enough here for me to ask for your help. I would love to hear what you think of this short video, and to start talking to everyone out there who's interested in making maps on the Fediverse.
Dear @gotosocial users: we see you, even though you can't see us! 🥲
Well, you can see this account. But any accounts hosted on https://encyclia.pub aren't visible to you.
The way we use @fedify, the ActivityPub framework that powers our connections, uncovers some issues in the code. Curious fedi developers can find details here: https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/473
Attempts at workarounds have sadly been fruitless, so please join us in waiting for a fix in Fedify. ❤️🩹
People criticized my decision to delay releasing Loops source. I made the right call.
With everything now public, admins + devs running the beta are loving it.
"Loops federation is working very good btw!" - @trankten
"(the app) looks very nice and smooth rn" - @Skivling
Took 3 app iterations + 2 backend rewrites 😅
Proud of what we've built together.
The best is yet to come, and it's going to be insane ❤️
Why does my instance need to announce to every other instance that i added a new alias bruh #activitypub
Anyone have experience using #Snac2 for a small activitypub instance? Currently I use #gotosocial which is great but I'm curious about other options. Running a second instance with a different domain for friends or a second account is appealing to me.
Meet Loops — a new, federated TikTok alternative that’s open-source and self-hosted.
Every movement begins with a spark.
Loops is that spark — breaking down the walls built around creativity and replacing them with doors anyone can open, explore, and build upon.
Join us and spread the word!
It’s not finished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. 🥹
Loops is now open, built in public, and growing every day — laying the groundwork for a future where you can build your own TikTok.
A future where governments can’t censor you. Where corporations can’t control the conversation. Where the social web belongs to the people again.
This is how it starts. ✊
This is how the new Loops app Notifications screen looks like.
Notice the lack of webfinger addresses, and the instant action buttons like Reply and Like?
All of these notifications are from remote accounts, but we hide the complexity of federation and only show the relevant details.
Pretty cool eh?
where would you expect quotes to show up in #WordPress ?

Is there already an ActivityPub vocabulary for job openings, or cvs?
I'm trying to make my CV-webpage more visible, and also create a job-bot, that everyone can set up with their sources, and queries.
Obviously the idea is, to help people find jobs, and fill vacancies, without having to resort to a centralized network, like e.g. LinkedIn.
I'm aware of these efforts, though they're not ActivityPub related:

✨📸 Vernissage 1.25.0 is now available!
This update introduces several new features and improvements:
- Added Licenses management (API + settings pages)
- New "Supporter" tag for users
- "Administrator" and "Moderator" badges on profiles
- Fixed issue with max image limit in posts
- Refactored settings update endpoint
- Adjusted trending content limits and resolved SQL issue
Is anyone using https://fedify.dev? Has it been good for you in production? I have a tiny app idea that would be an excellent fit for activitypub, but I also don't want to spend too much time implementing the federation bits.
What will happen to the actual #Fediverse if Bluesky really succeeds as the mainstream federated social media platform with other interoperable apps?
It “only” took me a few years to find out that I don’t need to have a PeerTube or Lemmy account to interact with them; I just need to copy/paste the link in Mastodon search and then follow or reply.
Why no one is saying this little detail FIRST to all the n00bs coming from the Horror socials? After this you can explain the fediverse; Now Activity Pub makes so much sense to an atechnical person.

All https://fedihost.co #Mastodon instances have been updated to v4.4.7
Thank you!
Learn more about this release here:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.4.7
There is no way in #PeerTube to essentially 'boost' (retweet) a video from another instance, is there?
I want people to be able to go to my PeerTube instance and watch a video that I recommended without leaving my instance but all likes and comments should obviously go to the original source. (And the video itself should obviously be streamed from the original source as well.)
Hey @bonfire @mayel and crew, if you ever feel like putting a spec down to attach academic citations to #ActivityPub objects for your Open Science Network, ping me.
I have ideas for building something out of https://schema.org/ScholarlyArticle, https://schema.org/citation and dashes of https://w3c.github.io/scholarly-html/ for @encyclia. Could enable e.g. “this post discusses this article”, “find posts related to this publication”, or long-form articles with declarative references.
Maybe @jonny has thoughts too?
Well, after an initial failure, my #NLNet grant application for #GoActivityPub has been accepted under the NGI0 Commons Fund. 💪
This means that for the next months my main focus will be fully on making #ActivityPub in the #Go programming language easier for other developers.
If you're one of them, reach out, I want to know what you struggle with and how I can help with that.
Kysymys ActivityPubista: Olen asettanut blogitekstit päivittymään Mastodoniin automaattisesti, mutta näyttää siltä että myös vanhojen tekstien uudelleenjulkaisu lähettää ne tänne.
En löytänyt asetuksista sellaista vaihtoehtoa, että julkaisisi fedissä vain uudet tekstit. Tuntuu tarpeettomalta spämmäykseltä, jos vanhatkin pomppaavat feediin, kun silloin tällöin olisi tarvetta käydä enemmänkin vanhoja tekstejä läpi ja päivittää mm. vanhentuneita päivämääriä tai linkkejä.
Onko tähän joku viisaus mitä en ole huomannut? Plugin ei nähdäkseni laita artikkeliin itseensä sellaista asetusta josta voisi artikkelikohtaisesti valita lähteekö eteenpäin vai ei.
if there was mitra with the entire feature set of mastodon it would be crazy. Mitra is way easier to setup, maintain and configure and mastodon has a great ui, moderation and administation through a webui. Mitra's ui is very limited, theyer implementations of relays is stupid and it doesnt have object storage. Mastodon doesnt allow you to change the default message lenght without breaking the update system, has way higher resource usage and the setup for nginx is just a big ball of jank. Combining mastodon and mitra would make the ultime activitypub server.
Missed @ben's keynote at this year's @fediforum? Here's the full transcript. "The opportunity right now isn't to build a better Twitter or to provide a nice place for people who care about Linux to chat: it's to build infrastructure that vulnerable people can actually use to organize, to communicate safely, and to build community. But we can only do that if we're building with those communities from day one, not building for them based on our assumptions about what they need."

¡Hola a todos! 👋🏻
Nuestro servidor de Loops, (Loops.one) ya federa con el Fediverso desde la última actualización. 🎉🎉
Podéis buscar vuestros perfiles (por ejemplo el mío es @trankten@loops.one) y los posts directamente desde cualquier software compatible con ActivityPub.
💡¡Algunas cosas aún están en pruebas y podrían no funcionar correctamente, así que por favor, cualquier bug no dudéis en avisar!
Welcome to Loops. Welcome to Fedi..Loops 😎

Fediverse Report 138 - this week's #fediverse news
- a closer look at the Tumblr-like platform Wafrn, which connects to both #activitypub and #atproto. Their latest update allows people to migrate their #bluesky account to wafrn, joining the fediverse while staying connected to their bluesky network
- @loops is getting closer to joining the fediverse

Though I have essentially boiled my socials down to #ActivityPub based networks at this point.
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.
If you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.
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.
