#ActivityPub

"The lack of a social interaction layer has always been the hardest sell about having your own website. It's been lonely."

@johnonolan on why #Ghost is implementing #ActivityPub and why they are doing it now.

@edumerco @cibor_yogui @sutty @distributed es eso más un plugin de #jekyll que desarrollamos en @sutty, que convierte los artículos al formato de #activitypub , los publica y le avisa a social.distributed.press para que le avise a las cuentas que te siguen.

#ActivityPub

ICYMI: Last week saw a new episode of Dot Social, the fediverse podcast hosted by Flipboard CEO
@mike, in which he interviewed @ghost's @johnonolan. Here's a taste of their conversation; you can listen to the whole episode here or wherever you get your podcasts:

https://flipboard.video/w/sQCNmXx332xi3Y3dVVjd37.

“We’re at a very grassroots stage of a mix of hackers and enthusiasts collaborating to make the thing they want, not the thing that has the most funding, and I love that. That speaks to my heart.”

#Fediverse #Mastodon #OpenSocialWeb #Publishing #Podcast #DotSocial #Federation #ActivityPub #Flipboard #SocialMedia #SpreadMastodon #Ghost

Yesterday’s #FediverseMeetup at @offline, #Berlin was so cool and insightful! Lovely to chat with very knowledgeable and interesting folks.

I have been thinking about the discussion so much that last night I dreamt of @liaizon telling the story of how they built their whole self hosted #ActivityPub instance in one single #PHP file.

This is not true and I have no idea how my unconscious could have conceived this ahahah

#Fediverse

#Fedify now has a queue for incoming activities and they are automatically retried when they fail. The default retry strategy is good enough (exponential backoff + decorrelated jitter), and it's even fully customizable. Updated also the docs:

https://unstable.fedify.dev/manual/inbox#making-inbox-listeners-non-blocking

You can give it a try by installing 0.12.0-dev.265+cb851932, the latest unstable release:

https://jsr.io/@fedify/[email protected]ev.265+cb851932
https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fedify/fedify/v/0.12.0-dev.265

#fedidev #ActivityPub

In the next version of #Fedify, the #RetryPolicy type is introduced to let you fully customize the retry policy of the task queue for incoming and outgoing activities. Of course, you can also simply adjust the parameters of the built-in exponential backoff + decorrelated jitter policy.

#fedidev #ActivityPub

I haven't posted about my #ActivityPub training wheels project @DailyRucks in a while, but it's been going strong with its daily voice line posts. 😀

Today marks the start of its first month-long special event, in which the bot will recount the Kid's origin story in a continuous thread, one sentence per day, until July 31st, starting with today's post: https://fietkau.software/daily_rucks/ap/activity/2024-07-01

If you enjoy Logan Cunningham's voice acting, be sure to follow along. 🙂

Follow up to my idea of getting https://cupid.careers integrated with #activitypub .

I could've simply written a bot that uses the Mastodon API to interact with the followers and send all the questions as polls. Or;

I could have spent some days grokking out https://codeberg.org/Vocata/vocata to have my application running as a client of the service. Or;

I could spend an indeterminate amount of time writing my own AP library for django.

Guess which one I chose?

👋 #Willkommen sind alle neuen User hier auf #Mastodon / #Fediverse / #ActivityPub. Ich wünsche euch spannende so wie friedlichen Verlauf von Unterhaltungen hier!

Durchsucht die User und ihre Posts so wie Inhalte und folgt diese bei euer Interesse an ihren Themen & Hashtags ☺️

In the next version of #Fedify, the Context.hostname, Context.host, and Context.origin properties will be added for better multitenancy/virtual hosting support.

#fedidev #ActivityPub

When there is no queue, if the process fails, the inbox can just respond with a 500 server error and the sender will resend it.

But with a queue, by the time the inbox responds, it doesn't know if the process will fail because it hasn't run yet. So the sender won't retry whether it fails or not.

So, should it have its own retry logic when there is a queue?

#Fedify #fedidev #ActivityPub

I'm adding a queue for incoming activities in #Fedify, and I have a concern. If an error occurs while processing an activity, should it retry?

https://hollo.social/@fedify/0190687b-1a09-728b-8a0d-bcbd4dca54cd

#fedidev #ActivityPub

#Fedify has always been queuing outgoing activities, but not incoming activities. Thanks to @ghost's sponsorship, we are now implementing queues for incoming activities!

https://github.com/dahlia/fedify/issues/70

#fedidev #ActivityPub

I really by and large have mostly lost faith that anything short of a miracle will get #ActivityPub to where I would like it to be, and the forces working against success here are just hard to even look at

I support the groups that are trying to define a way forward, and I suspect in many, many ways the battle is lost until and unless one of those efforts succeeds well enough to define a better way forward, and there's no way to know what that would look like or if it is even possible.

Wait. People are saying Meta's decentralized app will be powered by #ActivityPub, and will interoperate with Mastodon.

On top of it, it will be Instagram-branded.

Surprising. But again, I'll believe it when I see it.

#Fedify is an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript & #JavaScript. It aims to eliminate the complexity and redundant boilerplate code when building a federated server app, so that you can focus on your business logic and user experience.

The key features it provides currently are:

• Type-safe objects for Activity Vocabulary (including some vendor-specific extensions)
• #WebFinger client and server
• HTTP Signatures
• Middleware for handling webhooks
• #NodeInfo protocol
• #Node.js, #Deno, and #Bun support
• CLI toolchain for testing and debugging

If you're curious, take a look at the Fedify website! There's comprehensive docs, a demo, a tutorial, example code, and more:

Iceshrimp.NET has entered the beta phase. It’s in an interesting state! The Mastodon API compatibility is quite good, allowing the use of many existing apps.

The front end ui is still in progress. Any adventurous fedi nerds that want to install and provide feedback are welcome.

In the words of Fatboy Slim, "we've come a long long way together." Here, @miaq breaks down Flipboard's federation journey so far.

"We could [federate Flipboard] with a quick flip of the switch but we’ve chosen to act more intentionally," she writes. "We’re taking measured steps to test, learn, and ensure that everything we’re doing stays true to our values and those of the fediverse. Maintaining quality is top of the list."

Since there seems to be renewed interest in podcasting cross-app-comments over #ActivityPub, I've done a brain dump over here with a current perspective on the high-level of how it all works and to clear up a bit of terminology being thrown around.

imo the comments scenario is ready to build against (that's what I focus on here) with the ability for custom podcast-specific objects/fields down the road, using the same federated channel.

Hello, #fediverse! It's the official fedi account of the Fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework!

#Fedify #fedidev

I don't care what anyone says. It's awesome to see fediverse replies appear on a Meta property.

Considering Threads isn't even a year old, this is enormous progress over anything Twitter ever did.

Jack claims that "Twitter should have been a protocol", but here we're seeing #ActivityPub interop being achieved as we live in breathe.

Threads has a list of all their blocked servers now, https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers

They also have a way to appeal your banned server, though it looks like it requires an Instagram account to initiate. Still, I think more ActivityPub software should have some method of appealing server blocks- I know I've blocked servers for spam that I just haven't had the time to go back and see if they've dealt with their spam problem.

Side Note: There's some terrible domains on that blocklist and I wish there were a better way for me, a single user server, to keep an up-to-date blocklist without spending 24/7 browsing the federated timeline

Question for #ActivityPub users. I installed it on my WordPress site and expected to see the two posts I've published since then here at @[email protected]

However I'm seeing nothing and can't figure out what I'm missing on the settings or the way the results should appear.

it's often so complex to add #ActivityPub to an already existing platform (for example #WordPress ) and it gets even more complex if it is not built for social media 😱

For example

1. Deleting Users from the Fediverse, that still exist on the blog.
2. Delete the whole blog from the fediverse, but take temporary plugin deactivations/deletions into account.
3. Caching by third party plugins.
4. Shared hosting.
5. Posts and Comments in different DB tables
6. Publish only a subset of posts

I love when Fediverse scrapers get Fediblocked MULTIPLE times then start making new instances under obscure domain names to hide their data stealing...🤬

Awakari created a new instance on Indy.rest on June 24. 4 days after I called for Fediblock on their other attempt at ban evasion (awakari.app)

Indy.rest seems to be down at the moment. However, given their track record, this is a required block if you value your data not being sold.

https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/fep-7952-roadmap-for-actor-and-object-portability/4332?u=erlend_sh

I think this is the most important (WIP) Fediverse Enhancement Proposal of this year for the #ActivityPub protocol:

FEP-7952: Roadmap for Actor and Object Portability — by @by_caballero and @dmitri

It ties a lot of elementary building blocks for #nomadicidentity neatly together, most succinctly summed up by one particularly magic feature:

Bring-your-own Actor ID! 🪪💫

Actor profiles can now be hosted separately from the instance (including as a static JSON object (…)

I wish #Mastodon / #ActivityPub had like, native, seamless, keep-the-old-timestamp post migration between instances tbh. I do miss my .ART backlog.

Even though #Bluesky is only allowing self-hosted PDS instances (right NOW*), you can take your backlog and social graph with you when moving within #ATProto

It's kinda gross to see these corporate walled gardens intentionally misrepresent their Fedi integrations and just start using Fediverse in their PRs like their a genuine Fedi participant.

Looking at you, BlueSky and Threads. BlueSky lied about being decentralized and uses Brdigy Fed, a third party bridge to Fedi made by one man, to say they're decentralized. Threads keeps adding fake Fediverse interactions and promoting them as legit Fediverse interactions. They "added" replies from Fediverse without mentioning that they're private and can only mention 1 person or it won't be federated...🤦‍♂️

If you intentionally misrepresent your integrations for clout, you're doing nothing but harboring mistrust here on Fedi.

#Fediverse #Fedi #Bluesky #Threads #Meta #ActivityPub #Mastodon #SocialMedia

Essential listening/viewing from @mike and @johnonolan . “No-one owns this space - it’s being built by a bunch of hackers and enthusiasts who are building what they want…#ActivityPub is going to be bigger than any other social network…It’s moat-less technology. Let’s fill in all the canals and grass them over.” Fantastic!

What is the best activity pub platform for uploading short-ish personal videos? #activitypub #fediverse #mastodon #pixelfed

And....my hype for Threads replies has immediately been killed.

Replies are only shown to the OP. It's *something* but all this fake integration crap is starting to piss me off now...🤬

Edit: Confirmed. Replies are only shown to 1 person. You can't mention multiple Threads users and have them see it publicly. This is ridiculous at this point...🙄

#Fedi #Fediverse #Threads #Mastodon #Meta #ActivityPub

@jan I think, funnily enough, that this is Facebook following ActivityPub more closely than Mastodon - specifically the parts around Inbox Forwarding, which Mastodon doesn't do.

It's the reason people invent things like #FediFetcher

“Announcing Ditto”

> Ditto is a Nostr community server. It has a built-in Nostr relay, a web UI, and it implements Mastodon's REST API.

> Since Ditto implements the Mastodon API, it can work with any Mastodon app!

> Users of Mastodon and Pleroma will be happy to see search functionality that actually works. 😂

> Ditto is built in Deno with TypeScript. It's basically a REST API with a built-in Nostr relay. This is the same design as Mastodon and Pleroma, replacing ActivityPub with Nostr.

Just gave a talk to Japanese @w3c member companies, presenting about the #Fediverse and encouraging some more engagement between W3C Japan and local communities & projects that are working with #ActivityPub. Already, one person on the call said they are active on #Misskey and will reach out to them. 💗

What's the #activitypub server software landscape like these days? It's been a while since I've checked and I want to know what people are running and what's new in the past couple years

Anyone have a good blog post on the fediverse for people who have 0 technical know how? Something like Fediverse for Dummies in 5 minutes

Interesting new ActivityPub project called @hollo for a single user instance!

It still has to build features that are required for mass adopting (blocking and muting aren't implemented yet) but I'm really interested in single user instance software that's somewhat minimalistic so whenever it's fully released, I might try it out!

#Fedi #Fediverse #ActivityPub

This is just a mockup for now. I’m not that far along yet. 😅

My goal with my little Fedify #ActivityPub project is to have an easy lookup utility. It does two things:

1. Attempt to render the object using a bespoke template library, free for anyone to examine.
2. Render JSON-LD output in a neat little pane as a kind of Inspector tool.

I don’t know how useful this will actually be to anybody, but it might be handy for looking at activities, figuring out how to implement stuff, maybe even show output for posts that don’t work correctly? 🤔

.NET is making its way into the fediverse. IceShrimp.NET, Toki, Letterbook, Smilodon to name a few!

This weeks' news:
- More updates by Ghost on their work on implementing #ActivityPub
- Statistics shared by Mastodon show the power of an open API, and the incredible diverse ecosystem that it enables
- NLnet supports fediverse event planning software Gancio with a new grant

Introducing #Hollo. Hollo is an #ActivityPub-enabled single-user microblogging software. Although it's for a single user, it also supports creating and running multiple accounts for different topics.

It's headless, meaning you can use existing #Mastodon client apps instead, with its Mastodon-compatible APIs. It has most feature parity with Mastodon. One big difference with Mastodon is that you can use #Markdown in the content of your posts.

Oh, and Hollo is built using #Bun and #Fedify.

New #introduction time:

👋 Hey, I've been here on the Fedi (via different instances) for the last 7 years.

Founding member of @weareopencoop working at the intersection of #learning, #technology & #community.

Was PM of #MoodleNet, a decentralised digital commons built on #ActivityPub from 2018-2020 which has morphed into @bonfire, a federated app toolkit.

Wrote doctoral thesis on #digitalliteracies. Was on Mozilla's #OpenBadges team. Now pursuing MSc in #SystemThinking

I like 🏔️🥃⚽

Ghost has some exciting news in their latest #ActivityPub progress update:

"The other thing we're now working full-speed towards is open sourcing the new ActivityPub Service GitHub repository. That means the code will be available for anyone and everyone to see, use, follow-along-with, or contribute-to."

This is dope! Looking forward to tracking the development live 👀

https://activitypub.ghost.org/day5/?ref=build-log-newsletter #Fediverse

Hey Mastodon,

I'm looking for a well put together written case for institutions (academic, professional) to set up their own Mastodon instance.

Something that not only highlights the obvious benefits, but also that the technical costs are within the capacity of most places that have a decent IT department.

Please do not make the case here, I'm looking for links. 😜

Boost for visibility, plz?

Have someone got their #Discourse instance to federate with #ActivityPub?

I’ve read something about it but didn’t see any real case yet.

Also, does it federates articles? like #Lemmy, #Kbin, #PieFed, #NodeBB, #Friendica

🚨 INTRODUCING: a new in-progress #rubyonrails #activitypub engine that aims to make it able to add AP features to any Rails app.

It's still a work in progress but i would really love to hear your feedback and ideas on that! Feel free to message me here or open a discussion on github repo.

See README for more details:

https://github.com/mbajur/activity_pub_app

PS: A new kind of AP service/app will be based on this, more info soon :)

#fediverse #development #ruby

ANN: FediTest 0.2 is out. This is our first release, even if early as you can tell from the version number.

feditest is now in the python repos, so you can say "pip install feditest", and the documentation is current on https://feditest.org

You can currently use it to run your own WebFinger server tests similar to https://feditest.org/assets/2024-06-05/webfinger-server-all-wellknown-saas-imp.testmatrix.html Obviously much more to come.

Feedback appreciated!

Previous edition: https://mitra.social/objects/018ff3bc-19c2-9b77-48c0-55d79c15552c

Thanks to @silverpill, #Fedify is finally FEP-8b32 compliant! Though it's not ready for general release yet, it's passing tests in the latest main branch. I'll test it with Mitra and other FEP-8b32-compliant implementations, and if it works well, it'll be included in 0.10.0.

You can try it out in version 0.10.0-dev.205+0cbca257.

#Hollo now supports sharing posts (reblogs)!

Implementing Object Integrity Proofs (FEP-8b32) and my implementation is not passing the test vectors. I haven't found the reason for 24 hours… 😫

#Fedify #fedidev #ActivityPub

Should #Shadertoy have #ActivityPub / #Fediverse support? 🤔

https://www.shadertoy.com

I have an account there, containing a dodgy old raytracing experiment. But I like looking at other people's stuff.

The site already has profiles, posts, likes, follow mechanics.

It's fun to think about how one would federate Shadertoy posts. HTML iframe with a fallback animated GIF somehow?

The site lets high-tier Patreon supporters make feature suggestions. Any Shadertoy enthusiasts interested in asking?

FEP-521a has been implemented in #Fedify.

Actors now have the #assertionMethods property, and the #Multikey class has been added. For example, if you look at the the actor from the Fedify Example Blog (https://fedify-blog.deno.dev/users/fedify-example), you can see that it has the assertionMethods property in addition to the publicKey property.

You can try it out in version 0.10.0-dev.196+55cc34d1.

#fedidev #ActivityPub

It almost feels like Mastodon do not want us to self host. There is no direct link on the main webpage to install on server. Digging through the docs, finally found documentation and there is no Docker container or a package for any OS for easy installation. They require us to install from source along with all the dependencies. I don't mean to bad mouth it but they do not do enough to encourage self hosting (if not discourage).

Would like to know your opinions or ideas on how to self host it easily with minimum maintenance (auto upgrades, etc).

#Mastodon #SelfHost #SelfHosting #SelfHosted #ActivityPub #Fedi #Docker #NixOS #Linux #Pleroma #MissKey

#Misskey throws an error when a remote actor has multiple public keys, so I sent a patch to fix this bug.

This is my first patch for Misskey!

https://github.com/misskey-dev/misskey/pull/13950

#fedidev #ActivityPub

As a first step towards adding Object Integrity Proofs (FEP-8b32) to #Fedify, I've made it support #Ed25519 keys. I've also enabled multiple keys to be associated with an actor. For example, if you look at the actor from the Fedify Example Blog (https://fedify-blog.deno.dev/users/fedify-example), you'll see that it has two public keys, one for RSA and one for Ed25519.

You can try it out in version 0.10.0-dev.190+4dffb89a.

#fedidev #ActivityPub

Version 0.9.0 of #Fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework, has been released! Here are the main changes:

• Added Tombstone, Hashtag, and Emoji classes.
• Added normalizeActorHandle() function to normalize an actor handle. This is needed when the domain of the actor handle is an IDN, or when the domain contains capital letters.
• Added an option to the sendActivity() function, excludeBaseUris, to exclude specified servers from sending activities. This can be used when you don't want to send activities to your own server.
• Added Context.parseUri(), a method to parse actor, object, inbox, and collection URIs.
• The time window for HTTP Signatures verification is now configurable.
• The @fedify/fedify/httpsig module has been renamed to . This is in preparation for implementing additional object integrity proofs other than HTTP Signatures.
• Improved interoperability with #Misskey.
