:fedify: 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.

Though we have OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions 1.28.0, it does not yet define attributes related to the fediverse. So is taking the initiative to define semantic attributes related to the ActivityPub protocol and its related protocols. If you have any ideas, please leave a comment!

Semantic attributes for ActivityPub

The OpenTelemetry Semantic Conventions currently do not have a specification for ActivityPub.  However, Fedify provides a set of semantic attributes for ActivityPub.  The following table shows the semantic attributes for ActivityPub:

Attribute 	Type 	Description 	Examples

Thanks to @robin_maki, integration support has been added to ! This feature will be included in Fedify 1.3.0.

https://unstable.fedify.dev/manual/integration#sveltekit

SvelteKit

This API is available since Fedify 1.3.0.

SvelteKit is a framework for building web applications with Svelte. Fedify has the @fedify/fedify/x/sveltekit module that provides a hook handler to integrate Fedify with SvelteKit. Put the following code in your hooks.server.ts file:

import { createFederation } from "@fedify/fedify";
import { fedifyHook } from "@fedify/fedify/x/sveltekit";

const federation = createFederation<string>({
  // Omitted for brevity; see the related section for details.
});

// This is the entry point to the Fedify hook from the SvelteKit framework:
export const handle = fedifyHook(federation, (req) => "context data");

Have you heard of Val Town? Val Town is a kind of code pastebin + serverless function.

Actually, works just fine with Val Town. Here's a piece of ActivityPub software, implemented in about 170 lines of code, running on Val Town. Of course, it's built with Fedify!

Give it a follow @demo, and it will follow you back.

Curious to see how it was implemented? Check out the source code!

Starting with 1.3.0, you'll be able to use different message queues for incoming and outgoing activities!

https://unstable.fedify.dev/manual/mq#using-different-message-queues-for-different-tasks

Using different message queues for different tasks

This API is available since Fedify 1.3.0.

In some cases, you may want to use different message queues for different tasks, such as using a faster-but-less-persistent queue for outgoing activities and a slower-but-more-persistent queue for incoming activities. To achieve this, you can pass FederationQueueOptions to the CreateFederationOptions.queue option.

For example, the following code shows how to use a PostgresMessageQueue for the inbox and a RedisMessageQueue for the outbox:

const federation = createFederation<void>({
  queue: {
    inbox: new PostgresMessageQueue(
      postgres("postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db")
    ),
    outbox: new RedisMessageQueue(() => new Redis()),
  },
  // ... other options
});

Or, you can provide a message queue for only the inbox or outbox by omitting the other:

const federation = createFederation<void>({
  queue: {
    inbox: new PostgresMessageQueue(
      postgres("postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db")
    ),
    // outbox is not provided; outgoing activities will not be queued
  },
  // ... other options
});

@Montreal_Weather But if you plan to have this many bots, I would encourage you to not rely on Mastodon for those bots, but implement your own (very simple) ActivityPub software, it will be much easier for you.

Starting with 1.3.0, you can customize the User-Agent header for every HTTP request that Fedify makes.

https://unstable.fedify.dev/manual/federation#useragent

userAgent

This API is available since Fedify 1.3.0.

The options for making User-Agent header in the HTTP requests that Fedify makes. By default, it contains the name and version of the Fedify library, and the name and version of the JavaScript runtime, e.g.:

Fedify/1.3.0 (Deno/2.0.4)
Fedify/1.3.0 (Node.js/v22.10.0)
Fedify/1.3.0 (Bun/1.1.33)

You can customize the User-Agent header by providing options like software and url. For example, if you provide the following options:

{
  software: "MyApp/1.0.0",
  url: "https://myinstance.com/"
}

The User-Agent header will be like:

MyApp/1.0.0 (Fedify/1.3.0; Deno/2.0.4; +https://myinstance.com/)

Or, you can rather provide a custom User-Agent string directly instead of an object for options.
