    Hey, just wondering, does your #ActivityPub / #Fediverse / Mastodon & friends client display rich HTML / #Markdown posts or do you see plain text (with emoji and attachements)?

    If you don’t know but don’t see an italic sentence here, then the answer is no ;-)

    Boost ok.

      Open social media has a new fan: U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna. The congressman for California's 17th Congressional District appeared on Kara Swisher's "On" podcast last week and talked about Bluesky, @surf, and the importance of being able to construct your own social graph, take your followers where you go, and opt out of algorithms. Here's the full episode:

        @felipesiles@ayom.media O que citam está entre motivos pelos quais devemos fortalecer a adesão à filosofia do software livre, sem a qual fica sendo somente uma troca de seis (o estrangeiro) por meia dúzia (o nacional), sem o que seria mais importante: preservar a autonomia das pessoas, coletiva e individualmente, pelas chamadas quatro liberdades essenciais a quem utiliza software, conseguindo controlar a tecnologia e não serem controlados por ela. A página divulgada do projeto em discussão afirma ele que produziria "código aberto", algo que, por si só, é um mero meio de produção longe de abordar questões éticas, criado e abraçado em grande parte pelo capital justamente para afastar a discussão moral intrínseca ao software livre. Vemos no caso concreto como é isso pelas escolhas apresentadas, além do que e de como será implementado, das nefastas ferramentas que preferem utilizar em todo esse processo, tudo contrário aos alegados objetivos.

        O que menos importa é a nacionalidade de quem desenvolve um sistema e sim se ele está de acordo com nossos valores que, insisto, passam pela nossa autonomia, que só é possível garantir com software livre.

        Isso também vale, naturalmente, para outros conteúdos.

                      So one tricky aspect I had to solve with Loops is how we use a hashid of the snowflake id for videos, comments and replies in public links, but also deference them to their full ActivityPub permalink.

                      I built a `matchUrlTemplate` helper that uses regexes to match our url schemas in a way that supports `/v/abcdefg1-` and `/ap/users/1/video/1234567890` links.

                      It works great, and I will be bringing this to Pixelfed to improve federation support ✨

                              Fiz experiências com o que chamei de "Podtest" em , , e , com os seguintes resultados:

                              • Feed gerado pelo :snac: @podtest@snac.daltux.net é apenas texto.
                              • Feed do :mastodon: @podtest@organica.social entrega o áudio, que :vlc: e :antennapod: conseguem tocar, mas, aparentemente, o formato ainda não é totalmente conforme: :podcastIndex: Podcast Index sequer reconhece o conteúdo.
                              • Podcast Feed do canal :peertube: @podtest@fediverse.tv é devidamente reconhecido em todos os testes. Inclusive, perfeitamente incluído no Podcast Index. O problema é que, embora o episódio tenha sido criado com base no envio de um arquivo áudio (Ogg/Opus), o PeerTube fez, obrigatoriamente, sua conversão para vídeo. Torna-se videocast, então. É possível usá-lo assim mesmo, porém não fica exatamente como alguém esperaria um podcast de áudio.
                              • Feed da comunidade :lemmy: @podtest@forum.ayom.media é reconhecido por agregadores. O grande porém é que o Lemmy não permite envio de arquivo de áudio, apenas imagem. Fiz o teste simplesmente inserindo a URL do áudio que eu já tinha enviado para outro servidor, com o discurso completo da Promulgação da Constituição por Ulysses Guimarães. Funcionou assim, mas fica inviável.
                              Conclusão: todos podem ser bastante úteis caso a ideia seja acompanhar pelo :activitypub:, que é como foram projetados. Entretanto, para consumo em formato :feed: esperado por agregadores de propriamente ditos, nenhum deles atende plenamente aos requisitos, pelo menos neste momento. Em uma análise superficial do comportamento dos sistemas, não parece algo tão complicado de ser adaptado para isso acontecer, contudo seria necessário levantar a demanda juntamente aos respectivos projetos ou propor a solução já com a oferta do código-fonte necessário.

                              De imediato, ainda pode ser menos frustrante hospedar podcast em um sistema já preparado para isso, como 🐳 Funkwhale ou CastoPod. :agplv3:

                                Today the W3C standards organization announced a new working group to advance the ActivityPub and Activity Streams standards. The Social Web Foundation, as a W3C member organization, will be participating in the group. The working group’s goal is to release a backwards-compatible iteration of each specification in Q3 of 2026.

                                Activity Streams was released in 2017, and ActivityPub was released in early 2018. Since that time, the experience of hundreds of implementers and millions of users has shown places that the specifications are confusing or unclear, or missing features. The new Social Web Working Group will provide revisions of these documents to make them easier to use for implementers.

                                ActivityPub is an actively used protocol with millions of users and billions of notes, images, video and audio files published. Standards work on ActivityPub will necessarily be evolutionary, not revolutionary, and will incorporate backwards compatibility. Developers can confidently keep working on ActivityPub today without worrying about breaking changes in the future.

                                The Social Web Working Group will work closely with the Social Web Community Group, the organization that has been stewarding ActivityPub and its extensions since 2018. The Community Group will remain the focal point for innovative developments extending ActivityPub into different areas like geosocial applications or threaded forums, while the Working Group will concentrate on the core documents.

                                One Community Group document that will be moving into the Working Group is LOLA, the live data portability spec that originated in the CG’s Data Portability Task Force. LOLA lets users move from one ActivityPub server to another while retaining all their social connections, their content, and their reactions. It’s a great improvement for data portability on the social web.

                                The Social Web Working Group will consist of representatives of W3C member organizations and invited experts from the standards and development community. The group will be chaired by Darius Kazemi, longtime contributor to the ActivityPub developer community. Meetings and proceedings will be public, and developers can review the work happening in the ActivityPub GitHub repository.

                                Thanks to everyone who’s done the work getting this charter to completion; especially Dmitri Zagidulin, the SocialCG chair who drove the charter editing and review process. Now, the work begins!

                                I don't understand why they require a QuoteRequest handshake if the interactionPolicy is public, seems overengineered and wasteful to me.

                                            I've just published version 2.88 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                                            If disable_emojireact is set to true in server.json, EmojiReacts (incoming and outgoing) are totally disabled.

                                            New command-line option top_ten, that returns the top ten most popular posts by a user (ordered by the sum of likes and boosts) (contributed by aov).

                                            Added a new set of per-user muted words; if a post contains any of them, it's hidden behind a dropdown (contributed by byte).

                                            If an account has a metadata named pronouns, it's shown by the name (contributed by violette).

                                            Mastodon API: children of a post are returned recursively, not just the first level (contributed by violette).

                                            Implemented optional metadata stripping for images and videos using external tools (contributed by Stefano Marinelli).

                                              Does anyone here know of a running Bonfire instance that has federation actually activated?

                                              I want to try different platforms see if any other Activity Pub implementation makes better use of the actual protocol.

                                              Already tried Sharkey, Pixelfed, Hubzilla, Friendica, GoToSocial and Akkoma.

                                                  Loops also uses snowflake ids for ActivityPub actor identifiers!

                                                  I noticed that Mastodon has adopted this too, great to see. I will be bringing this to Pixelfed later this year as well 😁

                                                    They also are ActivityPub objects that expand to the full id ✨

                                                    We use snowflake ids, then hashids in permalinks that expand. It's beautifully simple, yet clever.

                                                    I'm super proud of how I implemented deeply nested comment permalinks in Loops.

                                                    It's a bit trickier than say Mastodon, where you just need the parent post context (and maybe children) since we only display comments in the video permalink.

                                                    And the UI I designed for this makes it really easy to view the comment and even the parent if applicable.

                                                            The EU, as well as every country in the world, should be taking seriously the importance of sovereign systems for communicating and disseminating information.

                                                            The ActivityPub protocol is proven and makes many platforms compatible and accessible to each other, allowing for effective information sharing and communication.

                                                            The only reason many people do not leave X is that many important services and public figures remain on that platform. Therefore, if countries truly care about digital sovereignty and resilience, they should adopt and promote the use of open source platforms and networks based on the ActivityPub protocol, whether it is Mastodon, Pleroma, Vebinet, or another platform.

                                                                    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.

                                                                      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.
