洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee)

Hello! I'm Hong Minhee (洪 民憙), an open source software engineer in my late 30s, living in Seoul, Korea. I'm bisexual and non-binary (they/them), and an enthusiastic advocate of free/open source software and the fediverse.

I work full-time on @fedify, an ActivityPub server framework in TypeScript, funded by @sovtechfund. I'm also the creator of @hollo, a single-user ActivityPub microblog; @botkit, an ActivityPub bot framework; Hackers' Pub, a fediverse platform for software developers; and LogTape, a logging library for JavaScript and TypeScript.

I have a long interest in East Asian languages (CJK) and Unicode. I post mostly in English here, though occasionally in Japanese or in mixed-script Korean (國漢文混用體), a traditional writing style that interleaves Chinese characters with the native Korean alphabet. Wanting to write in that style was actually one of the reasons I joined the fediverse. Feel free to talk to me in English, Korean, Japanese, or even Literary Chinese!

#introduction

はじめまして！ソウル在住の30代後半のオープンソースソフトウェアエンジニア、洪 民憙（ホン・ミンヒ）と申します。バイセクシュアル（bisexual）・ノンバイナリー（non-binary）で、自由・オープンソースソフトウェア（F/OSS）とフェディバース（fediverse）の熱烈な支持者です。

STF（@sovtechfund）の支援を受け、TypeScript用ActivityPubサーバーフレームワーク「@fedify」の開発に専念しています。他にも、おひとり様向けのActivityPubマイクロブログ「@hollo」、ActivityPubボットフレームワーク「@botkit」、ソフトウェア開発者向けフェディバースプラットフォームHackers' Pub、JavaScript・TypeScript用ロギングライブラリLogTapeなどの制作者でもあります。

東アジア言語（いわゆるCJK）とUnicodeにも興味があります。このアカウントでは主に英語で投稿していますが、時々日本語や国漢文混用体（漢字ハングル混じり文）の韓国語でも書いています。実はこの文体で書きたくてフェディバースを始めた、という経緯もあります。日本語、英語、韓国語、漢文でも気軽に話しかけてください！

The prolific @hongminhee talks about how a small typographic itch (annotations) turned into upstream patches, a framework, and two fediverse servers

#COSCUP2026 #COSCUP

Thanks to everyone who caught my talk, I just wanted ruby annotations: writing in dead scripts on the living fediverse, at @COSCUP 2026 today! It was great seeing you in the Fediverse & Social Web track. Here are the slides.

WHY thank you

@z9mb1 #Fedify co-maintainer Jiwon up next doing an excellent job on first public speaking! Introducing Feder: a Rust framework for building ActivityPub applications.

#COSCUP2026 #COSCUP

@jihyeok walks us through two very cool #IndieWeb projects, including https://oeee.cafe/ a federated web drawing platform

@jj1bdx.tokyo Thanks!

臺北(타이베이) 到着(도착)한 첫 날부터 胃臟炎(위장염)에 걸려서 宿所(숙소) 밖을 못 나가다가 오늘은 아예 病院(병원)을 가 보려고 한다…

Anyway, shout out to @fedify for having a Nuxt module <3

臺北(타이베이) 到着(도착)!

@2chanhaeng 네… 다 쌌습니다 ㅋㅋ

來日(내일) 午前(오전) 9時(시)에 臺北行(타이베이행) 飛行機(비행기)를 타야 하는데, 아직 짐을 못 쌌다… 🙄

The big announcement here is that we've been approved for an @nlnet grant to cover the next 12 months of work on the task force.

As such, I'm needing to write up an Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) plan for NLNet to ensure we can secure the funding for each work item.

If you'd like to provide input on what we work on over the next 12 months, please see: https://github.com/swicg/activitypub-trust-and-safety/discussions/144

I added a list of recommended libraries to the ActivityPub developer guide:

https://codeberg.org/ap-next/ap-next/src/branch/main/guide.md#libraries

- activity (Go, used in GoToSocial)
- Fedify (JavaScript, used in Hollo and Ghost)
- Fedipub (Ruby, used in Manyfold)
- activitypub_federation (Rust, used in Lemmy)
- APx (Rust, used in Mitra)

This list only includes libraries that are actually used somewhere. Libraries that are not used, or used in projects with too few users are not included.

@silverpill Since this is a roadmap for about a year from now, it's not very specific yet, but it will likely involve providing test harnesses for the major FEPs.

@lutindiscret @kosmo I have no idea. @robin_maki Does it?

A friend of mine just launched Kosmo, a new #fediverse service out of Korea, built around the dōjin (同人) scene: fan works, fanzines, that whole self-published creative culture. It's live now at kos.moe, in open beta and Korean-language only for now.

It speaks #ActivityPub, so you get the basics: posting, following, boosting. It also has emoji reactions, and one account can hold several public profiles. They say profile tags are coming next, meant to express something about a profile's identity and usable for search and muting too.

It's still early, and they'd genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone who gives it a try.

현재 코스모는 연합우주 SNS의 기본 기능과, 이모지 리액션 및 멀티 프로필 기능을 제공합니다.
아직 초기 개발 단계라 다듬을 점이 있지만, UI와 다양한 기능을 꾸준히 개선하겠습니다.

근시일 내에는 프로필의 정체성을 표현하고 검색·뮤트에 활용할 수 있는 ‘프로필 태그’를 선보일 예정입니다.
코스모를 자유롭게 이용해 보시고, 추가 의견은 ‘피드백 보내기’로 들려주세요.

보내주신 의견을 바탕으로 더 나은 코스모를 함께 만들어가겠습니다.
감사합니다.

안녕하세요. 동인 창작 문화 향유자를 위한 SNS, 코스모입니다.

개발 과정에서 이용자 여러분의 목소리를 더 가까이 듣고, 다양한 기능을 실제 환경에서 검증하고 다듬기 위해 오픈 베타를 시작합니다.

코스모를 직접 이용해 보시고, 불편한 점이나 바라는 점이 있다면 자유롭게 의견을 보내 주세요.
여러분의 피드백을 바탕으로 더 나은 코스모를 만들어 가겠습니다.

많은 관심과 참여 부탁드립니다.
감사합니다.

@bootlegrydia That's also interesting!

@hongminhee seems in northeast china's korean language it's 건반군 (鍵盤軍? 君? dunno which one it is)
