Fedify is a TypeScript library for building federated server apps powered by ActivityPub and other standards, so-called fediverse. It aims to eliminate the complexity and redundant boilerplate code when building a federated server app, so that you can focus on your business logic and user experience.

Following Mastodon's plan to adopt HTTP Message Signatures (RFC 9421), we will implement the same standard in #Fedify. We'll use “double-knocking” to maintain compatibility with servers using older signature versions (draft-cavage-http-signatures-12).
@silverpill@mitra.social · Reply to Fedify: an ActivityPub server framework's post
>The primary technique we recommend is double-knocking. First, try generating or verifying an HTTP Signature with one version, ideally (but not necessarily) the latest. If the remote server rejects that signature, eg with an HTTP 401 response, or the incoming signature doesn't verify, try with another version. Repeat until a signature passes or you've tried all supported versions.
Do they recommend making two requests instead of one? This is ridiculous. Today no one supports RFC9421, and everyone supports Draft 12, so there is no reason to try RFC9421 version first. Once RFC9421 is widely supported, we can simply switch to RFC9421.
One can also add a boolean flag to actor document. If supportsRFC9421 is true, inbox deliveries can be signed with RFC9421.

@reiver @andypiper @rwg @andresmh Re: which networks, I haven't personally done any academic research about social platforms. Pondering questions, yes, written anything down, no.
But my FOSS work has been centered on ActivityPub lately: https://fietkau.software/tag/fediverse
I have a project cooking that I think you'll like, for which I'm hoping to run a semi-public alpha test within the next few months. Join the @fedify Matrix room at #fedify-users:matrix.org to witness my implementation struggles. 👍

A milestone worth celebrating—#Fedify just hit 100+ releases! From day one, we've been committed to building a robust #ActivityPub framework, and each release has brought us closer to that goal. Here's to many more releases as we continue growing the #fediverse together! #fedidev

We're considering adding custom background task support to #Fedify 1.5.0.
Want to use Fedify's worker system for your own background tasks? We're exploring ways to let you register and process custom tasks alongside #ActivityPub jobs.
Check out the proposal: https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/issues/206.

We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.4.0! This release brings significant improvements to enhance compatibility and flexibility in #ActivityPub federation.
Introduced a new system to adjust outgoing activities for better compatibility with various ActivityPub implementations. This includes automatic ID assignment for activities and actor dehydration to satisfy implementation quirks (looking at you, Threads!).
Added the ability to customize WebFinger responses through the new mapAlias() API, giving you more control over how your actors are discovered.
Added support for shares, likes, and emojiReactions properties to the Object class, making it easier to access and traverse these interaction collections.
Document loader and context loader are now configurable through factory functions, giving you more control over how your application handles JSON-LD documents.
The fedify lookup command now supports two new options:
-t/--traverse: Traverse through collection objects-S/--suppress-errors: Continue operation even when encountering errors during traversalContext.getNodeInfo() method for easier NodeInfo accessUser-Agent headers now automatically include your instance URL, making it easier for other servers to identify your instanceFor the complete list of changes and bugfixes, please visit our changelog.
Whether you're building a new federated application or maintaining an existing one, #Fedify 1.4.0 provides the tools you need for robust ActivityPub federation.
We're grateful to all our sponsors who make this project possible. Check out our new sponsors showcase page to see the amazing individuals and organizations supporting Fedify's development. If you'd like to support Fedify's development, please consider becoming a sponsor!
You can install Fedify 1.4.0 from JSR or npm. Upgrade today and let us know what you think!

🎉 Announcing BotKit 0.1.0: A new framework for creating ActivityPub bots!
We're thrilled to announce the initial release of #BotKit, a #TypeScript framework that makes creating standalone #ActivityPub bots simpler than ever before. With BotKit, you can create a complete fediverse bot in just a single TypeScript file!
Key features:
Powered by @fedify for robust ActivityPub protocol handlingGetting started is as simple as:
deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@^0.1.0
Here's a quick example of a weather bot:
const kv = await Deno.openKv();
const bot = createBot<void>({
username: "weatherbot",
name: "Seoul Weather Bot",
summary: text`I post daily weather updates for Seoul!`,
kv: new DenoKvStore(kv),
queue: new DenoKvMessageQueue(kv),
});
// Reply to mentions
bot.onMention = async (session, message) => {
await message.reply(text`Current temperature in Seoul is 18°C!`);
};
// Post scheduled updates
const session = bot.getSession("https://weather.example.com");
setInterval(async () => {
await session.publish(
text`Seoul Weather Update 🌡️
Current: 18°C
Humidity: 65%
Forecast: Clear skies ☀️`
);
}, 1000 * 60 * 60); // Hourly updates
While BotKit currently supports #Deno, we're working on bringing Node.js and Bun support in future releases.
Ready to create your first fediverse bot? Check out our docs at https://botkit.fedify.dev/ to get started! 🚀

Fediverse Report – #102
FOSDEM and the fediverse match well together, some issues regarding data privacy and consent, and multi-network client Openvibe gets 800k in funding.
FOSDEM, the free event for open source software was this weekend in Brussels, with a large presence for the fediverse and the social web. There were three events, presentations by various fediverse software developers in the SocialWeb Devroom, an extra smaller event on Sunday for more presentations, and a more casual event on Sunday evening at Brussels Hackerspace. All the events were fully packed, showing the large amount of interest from the community for the fediverse and the social web. The Social Web Foundation has been the main initiator of these events.
Some thoughts and observations:
Two issues regarding consent and data processing this week. The first is with GoToSocial and fediverse statistics sites like fedidb.org and fediverse.observer. Some GoToSocial servers have blocked statistics sites from indexing their platforms via robots.txt, but the crawlers of fedidb.org and fediverse.observer ignore those. In response, the main GoToSocial server decided to serve up randomised numbers, messing up the statistics of these sites. Fedidb developer Daniel Supernault removed GoToSocial altogether from the statistics site, but does not seem to be willing to respect the opting out of crawling via robots.txt. The second is regarding the shutdown of FediOnFire, that displayed public posts from a relay in a format similar to one of Bluesky’s firehose visualisation tools.
The Pixelfed Kickstarter has seen some updates this week. First was the update that setting up a Pixelfed Foundation is now moved to the stretch goal of $200k CAD, and that for $300k CAD the stretch goal is to expand the team to hire additional developers. A few days later, developer Daniel Supernault said that the $300k CAD stretch goal is now to build a Tumblr alternative. That brings the goal of the Pixelfed Kickstarter to build four platforms: Pixelfed, Loops, Sup (an encrypted messaging platform) and an unnamed Tumblr alternative, as well as building a foundation and a developer testing kit with Pubkit. Moving the foundation to a stretch goal that has not been met yet does not feel great to me, as good governance of such large platforms is highly important. Adding a Tumblr alternative to another later stretch goal also makes me concerned that Supernault is taking on too much here, as that is a lot of products to build and maintain.
Openvibe, a client that combines your Bluesky, Mastodon, Nostr and Threads account into a single feed, has raised 800k USD in outside investment, with Automattic among the investors. Openvibe is an early mover in the space, and it’s a name I regularly see pop up when people recommend clients. However, open networks and open APIs means that it is hard to build a competitive moat. Still, most apps are hobby projects, and I’m curious how far Openvibe can push their app with the new funding.
That’s all for this week, thanks for reading!
