Nebenbei bemerkt:
Wenn du anderen Leuten auf anderen Instanzen folgst hilft das der Förderierung auch.

Da dann ein Eintrag "Animexx" in der #Inbox der beiden anderen Teilnehmer eingetragen wird und alle Teilnehmer beider Instanzen dann den Content vice-versa bekommen.
(So funktioniert kurzgesagt #Activitypub )

Dann solltest du den entsprechenden Leuten folgen.

Je mehr.

Desto besser für deine HeimInstanz

Excited to see some new projects implementing #ActivityPub and joining the #fediverse in the final stretches of 2025:

Accounts on new server implementations I have come across the last days are #Agora (test account here: @flancian) and #SquidCity (test account: @lobsters)

ActivityPub would have been better if it used XML instead of JSON.

I have trying to create a list for #fosdem26 and realized that (ironically) most of the people in the socialweb track ... does not have a fediverse account listed there.

I am also at fault, btw, so shame to me.

If you know someone who is presenting at #fosdem26 please send them my way. I will update this thread with the list of confirmed speakers.

I've been experimenting with lightweight activitypub tools like gotosocial and snac2.

So far snac2 works, but seems incompatible with basically every frontend I've tried.

gotosocial is more compatible, but crashes randomly and won't stay online for 24hrs at a time.

What am I doing wrong here?

Anyone have any tips?

Federating knowledge: exploring ways to bridge wikis and notes

EDIT: Canceled for the time being, I am sick 😷😭

Join the workshop at #39C3! Day 1, 17:00 @ Free Knowledge Habitat Workshop Area.

Most people and organisations have their very own way of acquiring, organising, archiving, sharing, and collaborating on knowledge repositories. A broad spectrum of opinions and approaches resulted in a diverse and rich ecosystem of knowledge management solutions. Nevertheless, this also implies scattered and disconnected knowledge sources. What would it mean to build bridges among wikis and federate knowledge?

This workshop is going to be heavily centred on a twofold discussion, exploring the challenge of federated knowledge starting from two questions.

• What does it mean to federate knowledge repositories?
• Instead of pursuing a silver-bullet solution to embrace all use-cases, what would it mean to foster and enable interoperability for different software?

These questions stem from years of questioning and wondering how to integrate my personal note-taking and collective, participatory knowledge management at work, in organisations, institutions, and informal collectives. Recently, I began actively researching this topic as I started playing with the MediaWiki API to cross-synchronise my local Markdown notes and the XPUB wiki, the public learning wiki of the Experimental Publishing master. I am puzzled by taking advantage of the potential of a specific software (in this case, MediaWiki) while fearing of being locked-in.

Some further, more specific, insights and questions:

• Local-first approaches and software (e.g. Reflection)
• Interesting experiments based on existing protocols, such as Ibis
• What do we take of semi-open and obscure yet very cool initiatives like Anytype
• The power and the limits of plain-text: how to enable collaboration on simple Markdown files and build on top of it, as Obsidian does

#Eventbrite to be acquired by #BendingSpoons, following their acquisition of #Meetup.com which caused many users to migrate to Eventbrite in the first place. I think at this point it becomes very obvious that the #Fediverse is the best place to coordinate your meetups, and you have many options to choose from: #Mobilizon, #Gancio and even #Wordpress with the #ActivityPub Event Bridge plugin. Everyone knows Bending Spoon's playbook, enshittification is inevitable.

A good Fediverse prediction for 2026:

"The new “#ActivityRank” algorithm in #Loops will prove that ethical recommendations & decentralization can coexist. @dansup’s approach—where each instance trains its own #algorithm while surfacing content across the #ActivityPub network—will be recognized as a breakthrough in solving the fediverse’s #discoverability problem. By the end of 2026, the pattern will be studied or adopted by other ActivityPub platforms."

FEP-0151: NodeInfo in Fediverse Software (2025 edition)

I added the "Implementations" section and a reference to FEP-844e:

https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/741

There are 3 independent implementations now. Since this is a "2025 edition", and 2025 is about to end, I think the FEP should be finalized.

If you have any suggestions, please comment here, on SocialHub, or create an issue.

I need opinions on #Smithereen API.

For notifications, which format would you prefer more, this https://smithereen.software/docs/api/methods/notifications.get/ or something even more deduplicated with `wall_posts`, `comments`, `photos`, and `board_topics` as separate arrays? Or maybe something else?

#activityPub #mastodev

Quoted posts are now shown.

Added metadata to remote users in the people page (contributed by dandelions).

Fixed memory leak (contributed by dandelions).

Fixed user matching (contributed by rakoo).

Rendering visibility conditionally, with lesser reach if needed (contributed by byte).

Added a button next to a follow notification to follow back.

Fixed typo in man page (contributed by spky).

Updated Czech and German translations (contributed by pmjv and zen).

Hei WordPress-sivuston hallinnoija!
Onko sivustosi kytketty Fediversumiin ActivituPub -lisäosan avustuksella?
No hyvä, uusi käännös on saatavilla päivityksenä.

Lisäosa käännetty suomenkielelle, 100% valmis.

Big Tech platforms routinely censor any mention of the #fediverse, so I've started designing, printing, and placing these stickers around town.

No idea if they get any scans, but I figure simply getting the word "fediverse" out there might raise the consciousness a little.

Any ideas for slogans that might pique the interest of facebook-addicted normies?

#activitypub #socialmedia #mastodon #enshittification #facebook

Alt...

Three small white stickers each with qr code and the following black text, respectively: "Big tech thinks you're stupid. Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net" "cats not capitalism. Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net" "Anarchy not Algorithms Join the fediverse! Jointhefediverse.net"

It is still not possible to follow someone on #Mastodon (or elsewhere) from #Lemmy or #Piefed, right?

So no use of #activitypub either. Is that correct?

@pfefferle

As a community, we often ask ourselves how to attract more users to #XMPP. Yet the real tragedy is that people would rather build something entirely new (loosely based on email or #ActivityPub) than consider XMPP. Need end-to-end encryption by default? If compatibility with existing XMPP clients is a secondary concern, you can implement it in your own solution while still benefiting from our two decades of experience in instant messaging.

I consider this a failure on our part but I don’t really know what to do about it. Most arguments against #XMPP don’t hold if you’re building from scratch anyway:

• #Conversations_im looks very outdated: OK, but you are developing your own clients anyway.

• XMPP doesn’t have an SDK: Neither does your #ActivityPub or email stack

• OMEMO is insecure and I would prefer #MLS: Yes, let’s work on that together and you’ll still benefit from XMPP’s 100+ solved IM problems.

RE: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/12/19/implementing-encrypted-messaging-over-activitypub/

Big news for the #Fediverse! End-to-end encryption is coming to #ActivityPub.

@swf with support from @sovtechfund is coordinating two interoperable implementations.

Bonfire is proud to be one of these first two projects, alongside #Emissary by @benpate

We think #E2EE should simply be the default for any private communications, and we’re especially thrilled to bring private, trusted collaboration to the fediverse.

Fediverse friends and acquaintances:
when self-hosting a service, what do you prefer?

I need your help to improve the developer experience (DevX) of #badgefed. #fediverse #askfedi #mastodon #activitypub

For so many years people were so against having quote posts on mastodon (even though they existed already in several different forms via #ActivityPub), but now that they’re native to the #Mastodon platform I feel like I haven’t seen a single quote post yet.

@librecomms found this...

#solidProtocol + #activitypub =

any thoughts ??@angelo
@adinfinitum

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.
