洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee)

Sharing my post from last November once again today. As I continue to navigate this journey of self-discovery, celebrating my very first International Non-Binary People's Day feels quietly meaningful. Claiming my own space and identity is still a work in progress, but I am deeply grateful for the quiet support and honest conversations that have brought me here. Wishing peace and warmth to everyone celebrating today. 💜💛

Growing up, I never quite fit into the typical mold of masculinity. My name, Minhee, doesn't help either—it carries a fairly feminine connotation in Korean, which only made it harder to feel any strong sense of male identity.

For the longest time, society categorized me as male, and I didn't really push back against that label. I just went along with it.

But over time, I've realized something important: I don't just lack the traits society expects from men—I have zero interest in pursuing what people call “masculine values.” Sometimes I find myself actively rejecting them.

Things really clicked after I met my spouse, Lisa (@tokolovesme). Through our deep, honest conversations, I finally found words for something I'd felt all along: I'm fundamentally different from a typical cisgender, heterosexual man.

I have come to identify as non-binary and bisexual.

After introducing myself as a man for my entire life, claiming this identity—actually saying “I am non-binary”—still feels new and awkward. But I'm starting to share this truth with the people close to me, one conversation at a time.

I've gotten the urge to try building a JavaScript/TypeScript runtime for learning purposes.

Hurting people around you and being forgiven is one way to prove that you are loved, but it's not the only way.

@sashin I mainly work on my F/OSS projects. I need a web browser to check issues, PRs, and related materials, and I use Zed and Ghostty for coding. Zed actually has a built-in terminal, but I find built-in editor terminals to be too cramped, so I don't really use them. I usually assign one project per workspace, but sometimes I'll assign two or more different issues from the same project to separate workspaces.

Oh, and for my laptop, I use a MacBook Air, and I use Spaces on macOS in pretty much the exact same way.

I use Fedora Linux as my primary operating system, and I absolutely love GNOME's workspaces. I typically create a workspace for each specific task, assigning a Ghostty, Zed, and Firefox window to each one accordingly. This is because I want to focus on just one task within each workspace. Even after submitting a pull request, I don't close the workspace until it's been reviewed and successfully merged. This way, I'm currently maintaining a total of 8 workspaces.

@COSCUP There's a typo in the poster! The presenter's name should be Shu Muto, not Shu moto.

Cool to see Fedify, Mitra and the FEP processes get some time on stage at the Open Social track at #DwebCamp from Sefano and Zach

After months of behind-the-scenes preparation, we’re excited to finally share the complete conference schedule with everyone. Check out the sessions and start planning your very own COSCUP journey!

@evan Yeah, I already follow @pfefferle! He's doing some interesting C2S work on the WordPress ActivityPub plugin. I should reach out and compare notes.

@dahukanna Ah, I see the confusion. I meant “put” in a conceptual sense: whether the Mastodon API has a concept that corresponds to a given feature. Not about storage or persistence at all.

@fedicat Yeah, the quote post collision was a clear example. Whether it's deliberate or just indifference, the Mastodon team doesn't seem to treat the API as a shared surface that evolves across implementations. Hard to build on top of that.

@fedicat That's fair. I know other platforms extend the Mastodon API, but I've been reluctant to do the same. It doesn't feel like a surface that's meant to be extended, and I'd rather not pile more non-standard behavior on top of an API that's already a moving target.

@dahukanna I'm not sure I'm following the storage question. Could you say more about what you mean by runtime data here?

On the second point: the Mastodon API and ActivityPub are completely different in design. They're separate specifications: the Mastodon API is a REST API, ActivityPub is an entirely different protocol. The two look nothing alike, so I'm not sure what “Mastodon instance API that implements ActivityPub” refers to.

@django That would be great. A themeable C2S PWA that Hollo could reuse as its own frontend is exactly the kind of thing I've been hoping for. Looking forward to it.

@mariusor Looks interesting, a CLI C2S client could be really handy for testing. I'll check it out, thanks!

@evan Yeah, exactly. I'm thinking Hollo's own frontend could use the ActivityPub API internally.

The more I work on Hollo, the more its Mastodon-compatible API feels like a straitjacket. I chose it for a practical reason: people could use existing clients, and I wouldn't have to build a frontend too. I still think that was the right call at the time.

The problem is that clients can only expose what Mastodon's API represents. I keep coming up with ideas, then asking whether the API has anywhere to put them. If it doesn't, I have no way to get the feature in front of users.

ActivityPub API (so-called “C2S”) might be the eventual answer, but it doesn't help much today. I don't know of any clients Hollo users could realistically use with it, and adoption is still limited.

So I keep coming back to the idea that Hollo will need a frontend of its own. I'd keep the Mastodon API for existing apps. I'm not especially eager to take on a whole frontend, but I don't see another way to try ideas that don't fit Mastodon's model.

Hello World

Coucou! This is just a first post announcing Nuages to the world.

Nuages is an ActivityPub app, connecting to your favourite servers that support the Client to Server API.

Follow us to get our latest updates, we’ll be officially launching the app in the coming weeks 😉

#ActivityPub #c2s #ActivityPubAPI #Fediverse

Announcing it here publicly for the first time!

I've been building a general purpose activitypub pwa.

Follow @nuages for official updates!

I recently moved my personal blog from a PHP setup to Astro on Netlify because I wanted to add ActivityPub support with Fedify.

Somehow, it took me until then to realize that I had never actually tried running Fedify on Netlify.

Netlify Database is PostgreSQL, so the persistence side should already fit @fedify/postgres. The less obvious part is background delivery: Netlify Functions cannot keep a queue consumer alive, while Async Workloads uses a push-based model similar to WorkersMessageQueue in @fedify/cfworkers.

So I’m going to try making @fedify/netlify, with my own blog as its first real test case. I wrote down the initial design in issue #930.

@smallcircles Fair, and I'll be honest, I haven't read the linked post yet, it's a long one and I want to give it a proper read rather than skim it.

I'd like to be more involved in the standardization side of this too. Language is a real hurdle for me there, participating in that kind of discussion in a second language is harder than it looks, so bear with me if I'm slower to engage than I'd like. That said, writing this case up as a FEP seems worth trying, and I might take a shot at it.

#Mastodon's #ActivityPub inbox treats object types in tiers. Note and Question are supported directly. A second tier, Article, Page, Image, Audio, Video, and Event, gets converted to a title, a summary, and a link; content itself doesn't show. Anything outside both tiers is dropped on delivery, which is a large part of why so much of the fediverse federates as Note regardless of what the object actually is.

mastodon/mastodon#24079 asks for content to show up whenever it's present and the mediaType is supported, independent of type. Open since 2023, and as far as the thread shows, no core team engagement beyond one offhand remark that they're not happy with the status quo either.

Reading the issue text closely, it's a bit ambiguous whether it covers the drop tier or only the convert-to-title-and-link tier. I left a comment asking for clarification, since the fix looks very different depending on the answer.

If you build on ActivityPub, a comment or a reaction there is worth more than another workaround.
