        One of the best features of the open social web is the complete separation of backend protocol from mobile user interface.

        On centralized platforms like X or Instagram, you're forced to use official ad-filled apps. In the Fediverse, your identity is yours, and you get to pick your ideal client! 📱

        Here is a breakdown of the 5 best ActivityPub mobile apps in 2026:

        1️⃣ Ivory (iOS & macOS): The gold standard from Tapbots. Unmatched fluid animations, custom tab layouts, and iCloud position sync.

        2️⃣ Tusky (Android): 100% free and open-source. Extremely lightweight, fast, and battery-efficient with native Material design.

        3️⃣ Ice Cubes (iOS & macOS): Fully open-source SwiftUI app with extensive feed customization, local timeline controls, and built-in AI translation tools.

        4️⃣ Nootti (iOS): Lightweight client supporting custom reaction emojis, local posting, and multi-protocol accounts (ActivityPub, ATproto, Nostr).

        5️⃣ OpenVibe (iOS & Android): Unified cross-protocol hub allowing you to view and cross-post across ActivityPub, Bluesky, and Nostr in a single timeline.

                      On Friday, August 14, 2026 at the HOPE conference in New York City, we’ll be running a workshop to help new people join the Fediverse. This is an exciting first for us, and we’d love your help making it a great experience.

                      Here’s what we need:

                      • Open-registration Fediverse servers that are welcoming the HOPE audience. The HOPE conference welcomes people involved in information security, digital rights, as well as experimentation with radio, electronics, and other tech. It also usually has people from New York, New Jersey, and elsewhere in the Atlantic seaboard. If you know of servers that would welcome this kind of new member, please let us know! Even if the server isn’t open registration, but can accommodate new users on the day of the workshop, we’d love to coordinate.
                      • First-timer Collections. Do you know of a good starter follow pack that new users might enjoy? Especially if their interests overlap with the HOPE audience. Just some names to follow is a big help, too.
                      • New user tips. What helps people get started on the Fediverse? What helps them stay engaged?
                      • Volunteers. Will you be at HOPE? Want to meet interesting people and help them get started with the Fediverse? It should be fun and easy.

                      Please reply to this post with ideas or contact info. This is going to be fun!

                      The thing about the fediverse is that when one of us wins, we all win.

                      I couldn't be more proud to work alongside so many talented people who share the same belief: together we're stronger, and there's so much more we can build.

                      The corporate platforms had a decade and billions of dollars on us. They still can't build the one thing we did: a network nobody owns, nobody can sell, and nobody can take away.

                        Today is announcement day 🔥

                        Bonfire is shifting its centre of gravity: from social features to community tools. Four things ship today, and the whole story is here: bonfirenetworks.org/posts/bo...

                        1. Bonfire for communities
                        Groups and topics, community rules, decision-making (from quick polls through structured consensus to weighted score voting, where an objection can count for more than an approval), events, shared organisation profiles, announcements.

                        A ready-to-use space you can then take apart: add what's missing, fork what almost fits, switch off what you don't need.

                        2. Our first Mosaic case study
                        Six months with Jacobin's German edition, building jacobin.social from the ground up: a home for 3,000+ readers, wired into their Ghost publication, in their language and their look and feel. Their readers crowdfunded the project, which included a reboot of the magazine and a new community space. Now every publisher can benefit. What one community funds, every community inherits. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/case-stu...

                        3. A deep Ghost integration
                        Keep publishing exactly as you do now, and Bonfire can become the home for everything that happens around the work: your archive imported, new articles followed, members and tiers synced, sign-in through Ghost, federated discussion under every piece. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/ghost/

                        4. The Telling
                        One script tag turns any web page into a federated conversation. Readers reply with an account they already have, on Bonfire, Mastodon, anywhere. The thread lives on your server, and you can take it with you. Details: bonfirenetworks.org/telling/

                        Being straight with you: this is a 1.0 beta. Groups work within a server and don't federate yet. We're designing that in the open with the W3C groups task force, because we'd rather it work across the whole fediverse than ship a dialect only Bonfire speaks.

                        Want to poke at it? Groups are live on the campground, our open test instance. Make an account and try it out: campground.bonfire.cafe

                        Finally, we've rebuilt the website to reflect the new direction: bonfirenetworks.org/

                        Now back to following up with crowdfunding backers to organise install parties, co-design workshops, and other rewards. Thank you for your patience 💛

                                If you've been wanting to move your activity history from Strava to FitPub but dreaded dealing with the export files, I made a small browser tool that does the heavy lifting.

                                Drop in your Strava export files, it decompresses the .fit.gz files, splits everything into correctly-sized ZIP batches, and hands them back for upload. No install, no server, runs entirely in your browser.

                                        I have been feeling a rising anxiety over the state of the open web and the fediverse - after seeing efforts by politicians all over the world (in Europe too!) to introduce age verification laws for social media.

                                            Summer is the worst season for animals. As the holidays get closer, shelters fill with pets left behind.

                                            My cat and dog came from there. Haru (the cat) waited two years in a shelter, and our dog (Tanos) is one a relative could no longer keep. A black cat and a malinois, now sharing the same stairs.

                                            Out of conviction, I built pawfed.org/how-it-works, a service working with and .

                                            It is not the perfect solution, but if you can help your local shelter, please do.

                                            Tanos, a tan Malinois, sits alert on a step while Haru, a small black cat, rests calmly on the step above, looking off to the side. Both are settled and at ease.

                                              I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.78 of , the simple, minimalistic instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

                                              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.

                                                #Elgg is getting an #ActivityPub plugin!

                                                Now if you’re not familiar with Elgg, it’s one of the first ever open source social media platforms. It launched all the way back in 2004 and was founded by @ben and Dave Tosh.

                                                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.
