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

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.

I just wanted ruby annotations: writing in dead scripts on the living fediverse - Slidev

"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.\n\nWhen I wanted to post this way on the fediverse, I ran into a small but stubborn problem: [`<ruby>` annotations][ruby], 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.”\n\nActivityPub 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.\n\n[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.\n\nThis talk is about how a small typographic itch turned into upstream patches, a framework, and two fediverse servers. I still just wanted ruby annotations.\n\n[hanja]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanja\n[Korean mixed script]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_mixed_script\n[ruby]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/ruby\n[Mastodon]: https://joinmastodon.org/\n[ActivityPub]: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/\n[JSON-LD]: https://json-ld.org/\n[Fedify]: https://fedify.dev/\n[Hollo]: https://docs.hollo.social/\n[Hackers' Pub]: https://hackers.pub/\n"

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.

DrFed on reducing complexity and enabling more people to shape the Fediverse

DrFed is a web-based platform for developing and debugging implementations of ActivityPub – an open standard and protocol for decentralised networking. A team of four people from East Asia is developing DrFed. We interviewed one of them, Hong Minhee, regarding openness, tech, technical specs, the Fediverse’s strengths and limits, language barriers to decentralisation, and far more.

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.
