UPDATE 11/07/2026
47.50/818 after over ten days without movement, thank you — 770.5 to go. 5 days left to cover up the rest.

The owner of the apartment I rent already started harassing me yesterday; she always does that whenever I'm late paying the bills, maintenance fee, and yearly rent. So at least $350 is needed before the 16th before she comes banging on my door with building security to harass me again.
At the same time, I honestly can't put off my meds and my actual needs to have proper, healthy food from the groceries portion of the basic monthly essentials anymore after surviving with scraps without meds for the past six months, I really need them.

So idk, between dying from hunger and being unmedicated, and potentially being homeless after being harassed, I'd rather be alive while I'm homeless. So $468 (for meds and groceries) it is 👍🏻

If you're able to help, please do. You can give directly or amplify this as far and wide as possible. Every bit of support makes a difference right now.
Thank you, thank you 🙂‍↕️

A white comic-style burst at the top left reads “SCAN HERE.” To the right of the logo, text says “Keep Wanda fed, medicated, and able to sustain her work.” A row of fruits and vegetables spans the bottom. Contact details below include Mastodon (@wrzky@kolektiva.social), Bluesky (@wrzky.com), UpScrolled (@wrzky), and email (hi@wrzky.com).

Flohmarkt is a free open platform for small ads and selling things ("Flohmarkt" is the German for flea market). It's part of the Fediverse so the small ads can federate to other servers, and people can interact with Flohmarkt from Mastodon etc accounts.

If you want to post or browse adverts there is a server list:

#Fediverse #ActivityPub

Implementing your own #Fediverse #ActivityPub server sounds like a good idea until you see the mush of half-implemented protocols that #Mastodon actually is. #ActivityStreams Link type? Profile? Tombstone? Whomst?

Why is there a webfinder endpoint? I don't want skeletal twinks fingering my web!?

And also an RSA key pair? Publicly being this embarrassing should be proof enough, nobody would dare pretend to be *this*!

#HolosSocial relay is confirmed to be very stable. I will officially tag it soon so admins can run their own relay with a script to easily install it on their VPS.
Using Holos with a custom domain and a cloud for media allows you to own your portable identity on the #Fediverse. Relays become only an infrastructure for it. Your device runs the #ActivityPub server and works as smoothly as any other app. Micro-blogging, media, and video, all from a single account. Switch with a simple tap.

#Lazyweb When I want to spin up my own #Fediverse instance that supports #Markdown when composing a post and that can handle my significant amount of followers with a seamless migration from my current #Mastodon instance, which #ActivityPub Implementation would you use? Ideally it should be a simple rootless container setup that JustWorks™ with podman. Perfection would be a single, self-contained container without the need to spin up several ones for databases or other stuff.

In a few days, the last brick of the relay server will be published for an official release and a tag.
A lot of stress when you are alone, but after a few weeks the work has paid off, it is really stable.
Running your own #ActivityPub server on your phone will be as simple as using any other app. You will not be limited to a lookalike: micro-blogging, media, videos, all you want in a simple tap.

#HolosSocial

I am psyched about #kazarma, the bridge between #matrix and #ActivityPub

If you are at #DwebCamp and you love the #Fediverse please come see my Introduction to #ActivityPub talk at 5pm today in the #OpenSocialWeb tent! It means a lot.

SZ: "Heute wird die sogenannte Open Social Web Alliance #OSWA in Berlin ihre Formierung verkünden. Das Bündnis will nach eigenen Angaben 'das Momentum rund um gemeinwohlorientierte, offene soziale Netzwerke als Gegenmodell zu Big-Tech-Plattformen wie Facebook, Tiktok oder Youtube weiter befeuern'."

Boris Christine and Daniel

Goodmorning fedi, I just woke up in a windy tent in the middle of a field and sleepily scrolled thru all the opening talks at #DwebCamp to figure out what my first stop needs to be: def have to catch @cwebber, @dholms.at and @boris discuss the trade offs, design decisions and points of convergence between #ActivityPub and #ATProto

Alt...

Christine Lemmer Webber is lead author and co-editor of the W3C ActivityPub specification. Daniel Holmgren is Head of Protocol at Bluesky, working on the AT Protocol specification at the IETF. Join us for a discussion on decentralization trade-offs and other design decisions in the two protocols, and what that means for different architectures, structures, and even future points of convergence.

Are you into 3D printing, self-hosting and the Fediverse?

If so you might want to look into Manyfold, a FOSS Fediverse platform which lets you upload and share 3D print models:

🌱 https://manyfold.app

You can follow the official accounts at:

🌱 @manyfold@3dp.chat (main)
🌱 @manyfold@makertube.net (videos)

You can host your own Manyfold server using the instructions at https://manyfold.app/get-started/installation (be warned though, installation does require a bit of tech skill).

RE: https://hackers.pub/@fedify/2026/why-activitypub-is-hard

This is a really great, technical overview of how the fediverse works behind the scenes. And really makes you appreciate that it works at all.

Massive props to @hongminhee for this write-up and all their work, and those of others that make fediverse possible.

When X, Meta and TikTok relaxed their rules on hate speech, racism and transphobia, they didn't undermine the open social web.

They proved why this needs to exist.

Safety and mental health come first here. They're the foundation everything else stands on.

Not optional. Not negotiable. The vulnerable come first, always.

I have a roadmap to improve this, and I'll soon be asking for your feedback to make these spaces safer for the people who need them most.

#safety #humanRights #activityPub

Two things you can see here... It's pretty hot! That's why I stayed home and implemented a missing feature into snac. That's what you can also see - it finally sends push notifications to devices! In this case, we can see notifications coming from #MastoBlaster App for iPhone.

What we can also see, it's still a bit faulty and not the expected content, but a first success here at least ;) I'll make some further adjustments when there's time and get in touch with @grunfink@comam.es to check if we can get this upstream. Thanks to @stefano@bsd.cafe for testing with me :)

snac2 sending push notifications to a user via MastoBlaster App on iPhone

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.
