洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee)

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users, and @botkit, a simple ActivityPub bot framework.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

#自己紹介

Some nice themes running through the #SocialWeb Devroom at #FOSDEM: storytelling from different national and international contexts (Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Europe); new apps and ideas (badgefed, splinter, FASPs, Spritely); building infrastructure and foundational tech (Bonfire, Fedify, Emissary). This is really great momentum! The speaker list today has been wonderful.

@bloeckchengrafik Thanks for listening my talk!

Wasn't aware of FEP-8a8e (A common approach to using the Event object type)!

@andypiper@macaw.social just said at #FOSDEM that 2 years ago Mastodon had a booth. Last year Fediverse had half a day. This year, there's a FULL TRACK of #fediverse !

THAT is growth! That is EXCITEMENT! That is people spreading this thing. Keep up the amazing work ALL of you!

ALL OF US MAKE THIS WORK!

And I am so grateful to you for it.

Thanks all for listening to my talk about #Fedify at #FOSDEM 2026 today! Here's my deck for the talk: Fedify: Building ActivityPub servers without the pain.

@fedify abstracts away complexity in building for the fediverse

Now we have @hongminhee presenting @fedify!

@hongminhee hat mit Fedify ein Framework erstellt, also ein Software-Baustein, der anderer Software dabei helfen kann, schneller „fediversisch“ zu sprechen. Und das ist gar nicht so einfach. Um so wichtiger, dass es Fedify gibt. Die Blogsoftware Ghost nutzt es beispielsweise.

@alvan Thanks very much for listening my talk!

@hongminhee hello!

It was a great presentation, and a great project! Now that Fedify takes care of the boring part, I can build something for fediverse as well.

@Yohei_Zuho FOSDEM 2026に来てただいまFediLUG Italiaの存在を知りましたが、ご存知でしたか？

I’ll be talking about ties, the federated bookmark manager, today at FOSDEM - 14:00 in the Social Web devroom.

Come join and get some ties stickers!

@reiver Hey, it's COSCUP in Taiwan I told you ealier! I'd like to attend both COSCUP 2026 and FediCon 2026, so it would be really great if FediCon would happen in different dates from COSCUP.

I overslept. Looks like I'll have to grab some brunch real quick and head to ULB.

@_elena It was! 🙌🏼

@alvan Great, let me know when you come to me!

By the way, my Hollo instance seems to struggle to deliver posts to my ~1,500 followers. They are eventually delivered, but it takes too long. I need to investigate this soon…

Today I met a lot of nice people on the fediverse in person! It was really nice to meet you all!

AP gang with @evan and @hongminhee tonight

@liaizon @reiver @douginamug @django @maxlath It was a lot of fun to talk with you all! See you tomorrow!

@mellifluousbox Okay, so let's meet tomorrow!

hello from this brussels fediverse stammtisch with @maxlath and @douginamug and @hongminhee and @django and @reiver

@bootlegrydia Yeah, you are right! Similarity between Korean and Japanese is the whole different story though!

By the way, if you're attending #FOSDEM 2026 and are interested in #Fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework, please consider checking out my talk in the Social Web Room tomorrow.

その逆も同じだ。母語が日本語の人が韓国語を学ばないのはもったいないと思う。日本語を母語とする人にとって、いちばん学びやすい言語は韓国語だろう。

꾸준히 하는 말이지만, 韓國語(한국어)가 母語(모어)인 사람이 日本語(일본어)를 안 배우는 건 참 아까운 일이라고 생각한다.

It was really fun to talk with @liaizon about so many things like… anarchism and punk in the States, socialism vs. liberalism in Korea, and so on…
