**@小明@範例.測試, or, Fediverse handles in every language**
is the proposal I just submitted to @COSCUP . Abstract:

A person's handle is their name and address on the Fediverse. But despite people on using the Fediverse in many languages from all over the world, almost all handles are limited to Latin script letters and numbers: **@somebody@example.com** . Instead, people should be able to use a handle in their own language and characters, e.g. **@小明@範例.測試** or **@김@예시.테스트**. We call this "globally inclusive Fediverse handles".

This talk explains the reasons why handles are now limited…. We look at the role of specifications, and existing software…. We look at the history of internationalising other address types such as email addresses ( जिम@डाटामेल.भारत ) and domain names ( ยูเอทดสอบ.ไทย ). We list some rules from DNS, Unicode, and IETF…: the Fediverse can build on them.

We propose a path forward….


Thank you @hongminhee for your encouragement!

當一套內容管理系統，除了架共筆部落格、架新聞網站，還可以直接成為 Fediverse 上的節點，讓 Mastodon 使用者追蹤、回覆、轉發，這將會是多麼方便的事情？

Drupal ActivityPub 模組，正把上述事情變成「只是架個網站」等級的工作：靠 Drupal 一向擅長的內容欄位彈性，content type 可以對應到 ActivityStreams 物件型別、user 就是 actor，搭配 Blog 模組，就是一個可被 Fediverse 追蹤的多作者發表平台。

在 NLnet 的贊助下，Drupal ActivityPub 的維護者 swentel，正在衝刺 1.0.0 版本，現已完成 Shared Inbox、Mastodon-compatible API 等重要里程碑。

與此同時，去年推出的 Drupal CMS 發行版以及 Recipes 等「懶人包」，也讓 Drupal 成為一套開箱即用的架站系統。拼圖一片片到位，彷彿水到渠成，這條路線終於進展到一般人也能近用的程度。

這場分享將解說模組運作機制、現場 demo 被 Mastodon 追蹤的共筆部落格，並分享我作為 site builder 兼微貢獻者所觀察到的，Drupal 為 Fediverse 帶來的可能性。

pretalx.coscup.org

From CMS to Fediverse: Drupal's ActivityPub module COSCUP 2026 - Conference for Open Source Coders, Users, and Promoters

What if your CMS could not only host a collaborative blog or a news site, but also directly become a node on the Fediverse — followable, replyable, boostable by Mastodon users? The Drupal [ActivityPub](https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub) module is turning this into a "just build a website" task. Leveraging Drupal's long-standing strength in flexible content modeling, any content type can map to an ActivityStreams object type, every user is an actor, and pairing it with the Blog module gives you a multi-author publishing platform that the Fediverse can follow. [Funded](https://realize.be/notes/2327) by NLnet, maintainer [Swentel](https://www.drupal.org/u/swentel) is sprinting toward the [1.0.0](https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub/issues/3572274) release. Major milestones including Shared Inbox and the Mastodon-compatible API have already landed. Meanwhile, last year's release of the [Drupal CMS](https://new.drupal.org/drupal-cms) distribution and features like [Recipes](https://www.drupal.org/docs/extending-drupal/drupal-recipes) have made Drupal genuinely install-and-go. The pieces are falling into place — this path is finally accessible to non-developers. In this talk I'll walk through how the module works, demo a multi-author blog being followed from Mastodon live on stage, and share what I've observed as a site builder and small-time contributor about what Drupal brings to the Fediverse.

@hongminhee@hollo.social

Just submitted a CFP to the Fediverse & Social Web track at @COSCUP 2026. The talk is titled I just wanted ruby annotations: writing in dead scripts on the living fediverse.

Here's the abstract:

Koreans used to mix hanja (漢字; Chinese characters) into Korean prose, much as Japanese still mixes kanji and kana. The style is called Korean mixed script (國漢文混用體). Almost nobody writes this way anymore. I do.

When I wanted to post this way on the fediverse, I ran into a small but stubborn problem: <ruby> annotations, the HTML feature that puts pronunciation guides above or beside characters, were stripped by the major servers I tried. I filed an issue against Mastodon. It sat there for a long time. At some point, “maybe I should run my own server” somehow became “maybe I should implement ActivityPub myself.”

ActivityPub is not simple. JSON-LD alone has several ways to say the same thing. Then come HTTP Signatures, WebFinger, NodeInfo, inbox forwarding, and the small incompatibilities that only become obvious when Mastodon and Misskey disagree. Before building the server I wanted, I built Fedify: a TypeScript framework that keeps most of that protocol plumbing out of application code.

Hollo came next, because I still wanted the original thing: a single-user ActivityPub server where Markdown and <ruby> annotations survived the trip. Hackers' Pub followed from the same framework, aimed at developers who want short posts and longer articles to federate.

This talk is about how a small typographic itch turned into upstream patches, a framework, and two fediverse servers. I still just wanted ruby annotations.

Fingers crossed!

@jdlh Thanks for asking me. One complication is that I'm organizing the Fediverse & Social Web track at @COSCUP 2026, and I've already submitted my own talk proposal. So I don’t think I should co-present another session.

I wish I had someone obvious to suggest, but I don't. I know a few Korean and Japanese fediverse people who may be there, but I'm not sure any of them have been thinking about , especially from the internationalization side.

I think you should submit the proposal yourself! The topic fits the track. And for the Chinese parts, COSCUP itself may be a better place to find a collaborator than trying to arrange that from outside beforehand—if the session gets accepted, people will see it on the schedule and it gets easier to ask around.

@nebuleto@hackers.pub

I've just submitted my CFP for Fediverse and Social Web track at @COSCUP 2026! My talk is called ActivityPlug: a unified API layer for ActivityPub server software, and I'll be chatting about a single, unified API interface for many different ActivityPub servers across the Fediverse.

Here's the full abstract:

ActivityPub servers can communicate with each other through the ActivityPub protocol, but their application APIs are not uniform. A client, bot, or integration that works with one server implementation often needs separate adapters, authentication handling, data mapping, and error handling to support another.

This talk introduces ActivityPlug, a library and proxy API server that wraps different ActivityPub server APIs behind one consistent interface. The project is designed for developers who want to build tools for the Fediverse without binding their code to a single server implementation.

ActivityPlug can be used in two modes. As a proxy API server, it exposes GraphQL and HTTP APIs that applications can call from any runtime environment. In the JavaScript ecosystem, it can also be used directly as a library, without running a separate server. This makes it suitable for web clients, mobile clients built with technologies such as React Native, bots, automation tools, and connected services that operate across ActivityPub servers.

The presentation will cover the design problem, the current architecture, and examples of how ActivityPlug normalises server-specific APIs into one unified interface. It will also show how a shared API layer can reduce the cost of building tools for the Fediverse: a client or service can target ActivityPlug once, then support multiple ActivityPub server implementations through adapters.

The goal is not to replace existing ActivityPub servers or define a new social protocol. ActivityPlug is a practical compatibility layer for application developers. By making server APIs easier to work with, it aims to help more people build clients, bots, bridges, moderation tools, analytics tools, and other services on top of the Fediverse.

ActivityPlug has been released as open source on GitHub. While the API interface and core features have been implemented, the project is currently a WIP and remains under active development. A full release is scheduled following updates to server-specific features and documentation. And various examples also underway.

Finger crossed for some good news!

The CFP for our Fediverse & Social Web track at @COSCUP 2026 closes in a week, on May 9. If you've been thinking about submitting, now's the time!

FediDev KR and FediLUG (Japan) are pleased to announce the Fediverse & Social Web track at COSCUP 2026, and invite participants to submit proposals for talks.

COSCUP (Conference for Open Source Coders, Users, and Promoters) is a free, community-run open source conference held annually in Taipei, Taiwan. Think FOSDEM, but in East Asia. This year it takes place August 8–9 at the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, and is co-hosted with UbuCon Asia 2026.

The Fediverse & Social Web track runs for a full day, six hours in total. It is the first dedicated fediverse track at a major open source conference in East Asia, and we hope it becomes a regular gathering point for the fediverse community in the region.

Format

The default talk length is 30 minutes. If you need more or less time, note your preferred length when submitting.

Topics

We welcome proposals on anything related to the fediverse and the open social web, including:

  • Implementations of ActivityPub or related protocols
  • Clients for ActivityPub-enabled software
  • Libraries, toolkits, and frameworks for fediverse development
  • Supporting services: search, onboarding, moderation tooling
  • Instance administration and operations
  • Governance, policy, and the social dimensions of running federated communities
  • The broader open social web and interoperability

Important dates

  • Submission opens: March 28, 2026
  • Submission deadline: May 9, 2026 (AoE)
  • Acceptance notifications: June 9, 2026
  • Conference: August 8–9, 2026

Submissions

Submit proposals at https://pretalx.coscup.org/coscup-2026/cfp. Select Fediverse & Social Web from the track dropdown.

You can write your proposal in English or Chinese. COSCUP publishes session descriptions bilingually in English and Chinese, but that translation happens after acceptance; you don't need to provide both languages when submitting.

All sessions will be recorded and released under CC BY-SA 4.0. If your talk contains material that cannot be recorded or released under those terms, please note this in your submission.

Code of conduct

All speakers and attendees are expected to follow the COSCUP Code of Conduct.

Contact

Questions about the track, topics, or the fediverse in general are welcome at contact@fedidev.kr or @fedidevkr on the fediverse.

Drafting a proposal to add API support in for the ActivityPub Media Upload extension, the SocialCG-incubated companion that lets clients upload media via a dedicated endpoints.uploadMedia endpoint, separate from the outbox.

The sketched API mirrors the outbox listeners shipped in Fedify 2.2: setMediaUploader(path, callback) paired with .authorize(). Return a vocab.Object for 201 Created, or a URL for 202 Accepted.

This is still an early design draft. Feedback on the shape, semantics, and edge cases is very welcome:

good idea and this should be fucking normalized as the status quo (at least in china) is writing like "1234567890" without any separators and people usually literally count the digits before reading it

@neal On semicolons: I hadn't really thought about them. Visually they're a bit busy for my taste, and I also worry that they already mean too many things in software: statement terminators, CSV-ish delimiters in some contexts, and so on. An underscore feels less likely to surprise people, though I may be overestimating how much that matters in practice.

On “East Asian”: I agree that's not quite right. What I really mean is something like “languages shaped by the Chinese classical counting tradition,” which gets Korean and Japanese in there too without making Chinese sound like the only center. But that's not exactly catchy. “Sinosphere” is probably the closest single word, but it has its own baggage and a lot of people won't know it. So I'm using “East Asian” as a rough placeholder for now, though I'm open to better suggestions. The Indic examples are a good parallel, especially lakh and crore, but I think they're a different enough system that I'd rather not fold them into this proposal.
