Maybe there are some based devs already working on this, but I so wish there was a publishing platform that was and first, and specifically for public institutions in 🇨🇦

Very similar to how works (built-in to core). Followable anywhere on the social web. Bus route updates, water restriction updates, weather alerts...one domain per municipality, difft accts per agency.

This is a national security issue if Musk & Co can cut off our govt comms.

Decentralisation as a shifting mental framework

Programming note: every week I send out an email newsletter. It contains all the articles I published that week, as well as an additional essay that has been not been published elsewhere yet. This is a republication of last week’s essay I send out. If you’re interested, subscribe below to get all the updates directly in your inbox every week!

As decentralised social networks grow and evolve over time, so does the meaning of the word decentralisation. People do not understand a meaning of a word in a vacuum, they form an understanding of what a word means based on their think other people think a term means. The term decentralisation is a good example of this: it is clearly an important term to the communities that make up networks like the fediverse. But the meaning of the term decentralisation has shifted over time. Communities take on a shared mental framework to understand a technology. Once a framework has been established, changes to that shared framework are slow, and can happen due to forces of other communities who have a different shared perspective.

The fediverse, and the networks that it grew out of, are decentralised social networks in two different ways: they are decentralised in a technical description of how the network architecture looks. But the fediverse is also decentralised in the sense that this became a core part of the identity of the network. For a variety of reasons, as the fediverse grew and matured, being decentralised became a core way how people on the fediverse understood the network themselves. When Elon Musk took over Twitter, it gave a strong validation of the idea that centralised ownership of social networking is bad, and thus that good social networks should be decentralised.

Over time, the meaning of the term ‘decentralisation’, as understood by people on the fediverse, grew more diffuse. Other characteristics of the network became conflated with the idea of the network being decentralised. Traits of centralised platforms that people deemed bad, such as a single algorithmic timeline controlled by an oligarch, became a template for how an alternative social network should do the opposite: only have a timeline where the content displayed is fully controlled by the user. The boundaries blurred between features resulting from a decentralised networking architecture versus those from human-focused product design. It is totally possible to create a decentralised social networking platform with only algorithmic timelines. But the connection between fediverse platforms largely only having ‘following’ feeds and the network being decentralised was regularly implied.

A network like the fediverse has an architecture that is easy to recognise as being decentralised: there are multiple independent servers that are all talking to each other, without one central entity. But there are other ways to create social networks that are decentralised, using a different architecture. Nostr is a good example of a decentralised social network that operates in a significantly different way, while also being clearly decentralised.

For the fediverse community, the mental model of decentralised networks such as the fediverse itself, but also email, became more dominant. There was less space to consider other ways to design a social network that is also decentralised. The size difference between the fediverse and the much smaller Nostr network made other alternatives easy to brush aside. But the growth of Bluesky and the ATmosphere network changed this dynamic.

The goal of Bluesky and ATProto is to create a decentralised social network, but with different characteristics and goals than the fediverse and ActivityPub have. For people on the fediverse, decentralisation became the main way how they analysed this competing network. As Bluesky is by far the largest app on the ATProto network, by multiple orders of magnitude, Bluesky not actually being decentralised became a common criticism. I made a similar argument in fall 2024, about how Bluesky has not meaningfully distributed power due to how clustered the people are around a single app. However, that is something different than the technological network architecture being (de)centralised. These criticisms became intertwined with each other, especially from the fediverse side.

In recent weeks, people have made some significant progress in using Bluesky (in technical terms: engaging with posts with Bluesky’s lexicon) with infrastructure that is entirely independent from the Bluesky company. This demonstrates the network being decentralised in a meaningful way. But as the term ‘decentralisation’ has become so intertwined with other meanings, both regarding other network architecture as well as the spread of the user base, that conversations around these developments became hopelessly confusing. The achievement of using Bluesky without using infrastructure owned by Bluesky PBC became solely analysed through the frame of “is the network decentralised”.

In all this discourse, it has become lost that decentralisation is a description of a network topology, and not an intrinsic Good. People do not actually care about decentralisation itself. Decentralisation is valuable because it enables other properties, such as network resilience, and are more resistant to capture by oligarchs.

Within the ATProto developer community, the discourse that essentialised decentralisation led to a counter reaction, where decentralisation is not seen as a useful term anymore. Instead, other descriptors should be used, to consider specific features that the network enables. While the community seems largely in agreement that decentralisation has lost a lot of its usefulness as a way to analyse the network, there is less consensus on what other factors the network should be judged on.

As an observer of both networks this makes the current situation particularly interesting. One developer community seems to come to an agreement that one mental framework has lost some of its use, while the other developer community has not done so. Furthermore, it is not clear yet what framework should take its place instead. Is it a framework of analysing a network by its possible failure modes, or something else entirely?

Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.

The journey continues though— development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.

If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source tools, I'm all ears.

This is one of the problems with centralized social-media — that your entire online existence and self can be deleted, and often, there is nothing you can do about it

That you can be unpersoned.

On the Fediverse (and other decentralized social-media (DeSo)) — you can protect yourself from this. You can self-host, and own and control your online identity & online self.

Today, besides other concerned individuals and organisations, our co-founder @michael co-signed and delivered a letter regarding the current UK technology policy to the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.

We believe it is critical that the UK does not become dependent on US technologies which echo the corporate interests of Big Tech.

I wish @Tusky had a "mentions" feed similar to Fedilab.

I.e., a screen (in the app) that only shows posts that "mention" me.

I get so many other non-mention notifications that I can (and at times often do) miss posts that mention me.

This has been asked for on the (broader) Fediverse for a long time, too.

(Longer than Threads has existed.)

Although, in practice, it is impossible to prevent it. Someone can take a screenshot of your post and comment on it — thus doing an ad hoc DIY quote-post.

The results of the poll — can a block-list be misused?

If you filter-out the "don't care" and "huh?" votes, then —

It is about —

• 5% to 6% NO, block-lists cannot be misused, versus

• 94% to 95%, YES, block-lists can be misused.

Is Short Content Sometimes "Better"?

Short posts on Twitter, Mastodon, BlueSky, etc.

Short videos on TikTok, YouTube (Shorts), Vidzy, Loops, etc.

Could short content create a better user-experience (UX)?

Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.

The journey continues though— development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.

If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source tools, I'm all ears.

Thank you to folks that answered my #GTS poll. Seems like a LOT of folks don't know what GTS is! GTS or #GoToSocial is a #GO written #activityPub #server for small groups of folks that's super lightweight, fast and easy to install. You can find them on #Fediverse at @gotosocial .

Et heureusement qu'il fallait quitter les GAFAM après le truc de Trump sur la règle de diversité et tout ...

Okay, but we can also this now with the . Like, can handle search queries just fine.

So, just running on microcomputers, everyone can put on their own index whatever they want.

A person can _easily_ index 50,000 pages on a rapsberry pi.

A can broadcast any query to known peers. Each peer returns top-k results. The originating node can then aggregate and rank.

So @alice queries their FediSearch, it searches its own index and queries subscribed peers, those peers do the same thing. Nodes can choose who they trust, cache, etc.

The number of indexes pages will be something along the lines of `pages_per_nod * log(number_nodes)`. So a thousand nodes may only cover a million pages, but if the trust network is good, those are probably the most important million pages.

Also, I would venture that you'd have some nodes specializing in having a lot of pages: tens of millions, others just for stuff they like, others specifically for non-commercial interests. Selecting who you federate your search with really affects the ranking.

Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.

The journey continues though— development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.

If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source tools, I'm all ears.

Thank you to folks that answered my #GTS poll. Seems like a LOT of folks don't know what GTS is! GTS or #GoToSocial is a #GO written #activityPub #server for small groups of folks that's super lightweight, fast and easy to install. You can find them on #Fediverse at @gotosocial .

The journey continues though— development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.

If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source tools, I'm all ears.

Okay, but we can also this now with the . Like, can handle search queries just fine.

So, just running on microcomputers, everyone can put on their own index whatever they want.

A person can _easily_ index 50,000 pages on a rapsberry pi.

A can broadcast any query to known peers. Each peer returns top-k results. The originating node can then aggregate and rank.

So @alice queries their FediSearch, it searches its own index and queries subscribed peers, those peers do the same thing. Nodes can choose who they trust, cache, etc.

The number of indexes pages will be something along the lines of `pages_per_nod * log(number_nodes)`. So a thousand nodes may only cover a million pages, but if the trust network is good, those are probably the most important million pages.

Also, I would venture that you'd have some nodes specializing in having a lot of pages: tens of millions, others just for stuff they like, others specifically for non-commercial interests. Selecting who you federate your search with really affects the ranking.

After the setup I configured the settings, browsed the web. was working like it used to and the FS didn't go haywire.

This time I took the former approach. I opened and deleted without app data. And it worked (for real this time). Still I had zen app data lying in my system. So I manually deleted every one of them one by one. Afterwards I rebooted my system one last time and again installed Zen.

I again rebooted the system and this time deleted every folder within `.../storage/default/` folder. Then tried to uninstall along with app data. And this time it worked, I uninstalled the browser (so it seems). However afterwards the FS went read-only. I rebooted. And there was ZEN, casually waiting for me in the taskbar.

I traced the error to a certain file within `~.var/app/app.zen_browser.zen/.zen/nh9jf1x8.Default (release)/storage/default/https+++www.youtube.com/cache/morgue/81/` folder. I manually deleted the file and again tried to uninstall along with app data. It again caused an error saying that this time the error is within `.../https+++www.mastodon.social/` folder.

So today, I decided to delete the browser. When I opened the Zen page in there were two options presented :
1. Delete the app
2. Delete the app along with app data
Initially, I decided to go with the latter one. But when I clicked uninstall, the Software Center showed me an error (see the image) and the FS went read-only. I rebooted the system.

For most users on the Fediverse —

Not only are you publishing that post on your host's website, but —

YOU ARE PUSHING that post to people and machines (including strangers) across the Fediverse.

If you do not want that to happen, then — don't press that button.

Instead, consider a private message, or using something such as Signal.

How hard would it be for a fediverse app to give me a daily or weekly notification about each of my saved drafts? So I can start a reply, decide it needs more thought, save it, and get reminded of it.

Bonus points for being able to schedule a reminder notification for each saved post. A day for this one, a week for this one, and so on.

I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.

A relay could represent a community.

And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on

This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server

Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.

Maybe a community of bird photographers, or a cognitive science community, or a community of open-source software developers, etc.

FEDIVERSE LOGO — Ⅎ

Andy Piper ( @andypiper ) says:

“Of course, we can’t just use an F [as a logo for the Fediverse], because Friendica took that one”

Well, we could (instead) use a variation of the "F" symbol.

We could (instead) use the TURNED CAPITAL F (U+2132) for a Fediverse logo.

It is considered an 'obsolete' symbol, and thus largely unused (despite being in Unicode).

We could make it a (new) logo for the Fediverse.

Good day folks. I need your thoughts. I've started a NonProfit called BT Free, btfree.org, and I'm hoping to get thoughts on a question I had.

Do folks think it's ok if I link to the donations page for BT Free during Fireside Fedi and mention it during a show as well? I want to focus on the guest, but I'm going to have to start asking about donations somewhere, but I don't want to ask if folks think it's not ok.

Please boost this out so I can get as many thoughts as possible on this. I'm new to all of this and I really appreciate everyone's thoughts. Thank you all for being here and doing all you do!

But, the moment I opened Zen Browser suddenly the filesystem went read-only. Coincidence, I think not. This also happened when I was offline. I opened Zen it showed me the webpage, all good.

So, today morning I opened the laptop with turned off and checked the system. It was going alright. The filesystem was behaving normally like it should. I also double-checked it using `mount | grep "btrfs"` and `fastfetch`. To check the nvme drive, I used `sudo smartctl --xall /dev/nvme0n1p3` + the diagnostics tool in the bios menu.

I now think that I can pinpoint the problem of the filesystem going read-only and it's (probably) neither the FS itself nor the nvme drive. And definitely not the RAM.

The problem is a single app that's causing this or that's what I found and its the @zenbrowser browser.

When updating a video, under Advanded settings > Video thumbnail PeerTube @peertube now lets you select a specific frame as the thumbnail directly from the video player.

A really handy interface not even YouTube has. The feature was likely released at least a few months ago but I only just noticed.

To improve metadata — and just for fun — I revised the thumbnails of all my videos.

So my suspicion is that #Phanpy was somehow corrupted.

I'm not sure, however, if that's a symptom of a deeper issue, or the root cause itself.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue? If so, what were the steps to fixing it?

Mastodon, Pixelfed, and Pleroma

As —

Mastadon, PixelFred, Plemora

I like this new feature on the Mastodon web-based front-end application — where, when you look at the someone else's profile, Mastodon shows you (some of the people) who follows this account that you also follow.

Although, I wish there was way that I could see the complete list of people — rather than just 2 or 3 people.

You don't trust anyone else—not billionaire-run social networks, not instances managed by strangers with moderation policies that might separate you from your friends and favorite accounts.

So you've decided it's time to create your own instance, whether for yourself, your family, or a small community.

But you're unsure how to do it! You're not tech-savvy, and you're worried it won't work, that you'll fail, or that you won't be able to secure your new instance properly.

Fortunately, some companies now offer to set up an instance for you and handle all the technical aspects: installation, system updates, security, and more. All you need to do is manage it and enjoy it.

:friendica: :mastodon: :pixelfed: :funkwhale: :lemmy: :hubzilla: :peertube:

At least, that's the promise. 🙂

The website joinfediverse.wiki/Hosting_an_ lists some companies currently offering this service. It also provides a guide to help you choose the best host for your needs and outlines the questions you should consider.

From there, it's up to you to research the prices and terms of the companies you're interested in.

Has anyone here used the services from any of these companies? Is it really easy for non-technical people to install and manage an instance?

Is there a "firehose" of posts? would you just look at all the servers' live feeds? I'm considering attempting to train an algorithm to classify
* personal status (ate a sandwich)
* hashtag participation
* branding and promotion
* conversational
* memetics (cats/rats/moss)
* identity assertion
* etc
This is awkward because I feel a bit embarrassed that I don't already know how to do this.

(btw, would be a final academic project for a machine learning course)

Articles like this make me wonder if/when the will ever tackle the dating service space. Given the (relatively) small userbase of the fediverse as a whole, I'm not sure how well it'd go right now. But I do think that there's a wide open space here in the same way that there was previously for healthy Twitter and Instagram alternatives.

This would be a much more complex space, though. Data exchanged in an environment like this would be extremely sensitive, and massive precautions would need to be taken (and vetted) in order to prevent abuse, by admins or otherwise. Still, it seems like a huge shame to give up on the concept of online dating just because surveillance capitalism has ruined it in its current form.

HEY! I just found the fix for the webfinger "403 forbidden” problem I have been having to get my wordpress blog working fully with ActivityPub @pfefferle!

Looks like for nginx based servers if you are rolling your own or you have a strict web host you need to create a location statement in your nginx config options

The code to add to your options is:

location ^~ /.well-known/webfinger {
auth_basic off;
allow all;
default_type text/plain;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
break;
}

From this wordpress support question:

wordpress.org/support/topic/i-

After adding this, the test at webfinger.net/lookup outputs a proper response and Wordpress clears the 'webfinger' error in SiteHealth.

Yay!

Comme ActivityPub est pas du tout intégré dans les navigateurs, lorsqu'un trouve un contenu intéressant sur une instance qui n'est pas la sienne il y a de la friction pour interagir: il faut copier l'url, revenir dans son instance, chercher, attendre.

Il y a bien des extensions, mais c'est beaucoup de code et ça ne marche que sur Mastodon. Mais moi je veux naviguer le fediverse, pas le Mastoverse.

Du coup j'ai fait un bookmarklet tout bête qui fait le travail à ma place: c'est un signet standard sauf qu'à la place d'une url on peut mettre du code javascript. Et ce code javascript va lancer une recherche dans mon instance avec le contenu en question.

Pouet, post ou commentaire lemmy, vidéo peertube, événement mobilizon, ça marche partout.

Pour installer, rien de plus simple:
1. créer un signet
2. mettre le code minifié dans l'adresse, et par exemple "ouvrir dans mastodon" comme nom
3. c'est tout !

Le code est ici, servez-vous allègrement: https://git.sr.ht/~rakoo/bookmarklets

So over to the command line. First, a sudo apt update.

Debian fetches the updates as it should. It says:

"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
1 package can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see it."

Apt list --upgradable mentions: monarx-agent/bookworm 4.2.72-master amd64 [upgradable from: 4.2.62-master]

Okay, so with that done, let's try the three commands YunoHost recommended:

sudo apt install --fix-broken produces the following output:

And let's try sudo dpkg --audit:

"The following packages are only half configured, probably due to problems
configuring them the first time. The configuration should be retried using
dpkg --configure <package> or the configure menu option in dselect:

Okay.

So.

Any idea what's going on here?

What should I try next to fix this?

Mastodon has a great translation tool that lets people read your posts in their favorite languages.

But the feature works only if you set the default language of posts (Preferences > Other > POSTING DEFAULTS > Posting language) and override it when posting in languages other than the default (click the language name button in the post editor).

Good morning Fedi friends!

Today I'm feeling excitement over the fediverse intro video we're making... and fear about the feedback it will generate. SO. MUCH. PRESSURE!

The has become my happy online place. With this video project I'm putting myself out there so much (with my face, my voice) advocating for it. I'm stepping out of my comfort zone daily... but I know it's for a great cause.

Please be kind once the video is out... it'll be the result of tens of hours of work 🥲

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.

We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release.

Here is what the OpenGraph preview card will more or less look like — when you share a URL to a conversation on GreatApe.

(Although the exact look will depend on which front-end app you are using.)

New: Taking Control of Your Timeline - in Different Ways

platforms as well as offer to give the user control of their timeline - in contrast with the control that Big Tech Platforms have with their algorithmic timelines.

But the approach is surprisingly different: fediverse platforms like Mastodon give you control over *how* you see the content you follow, whereas Bluesky gives you control over *what* content you see

Comme ActivityPub est pas du tout intégré dans les navigateurs, lorsqu'un trouve un contenu intéressant sur une instance qui n'est pas la sienne il y a de la friction pour interagir: il faut copier l'url, revenir dans son instance, chercher, attendre.

Il y a bien des extensions, mais c'est beaucoup de code et ça ne marche que sur Mastodon. Mais moi je veux naviguer le fediverse, pas le Mastoverse.

Du coup j'ai fait un bookmarklet tout bête qui fait le travail à ma place: c'est un signet standard sauf qu'à la place d'une url on peut mettre du code javascript. Et ce code javascript va lancer une recherche dans mon instance avec le contenu en question.

Pouet, post ou commentaire lemmy, vidéo peertube, événement mobilizon, ça marche partout.

Pour installer, rien de plus simple:
1. créer un signet
2. mettre le code minifié dans l'adresse, et par exemple "ouvrir dans mastodon" comme nom
3. c'est tout !

Le code est ici, servez-vous allègrement: https://git.sr.ht/~rakoo/bookmarklets

EDIT: si vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur les bookmarklets et comprendre comment on s'en sert, comment on les installe, voici un lien qui explique les choses: https://mastercaweb.unistra.fr/actualites/culture-web/bookmarklet/

I’m really happy to have been asked to join the new FediForum Advisory Board that is helping to guide and steer the future of the event.

We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.

Check out fediforum.org/people

— FediForum (@fediforum) 2025-05-06T18:49:33.513Z

FediForum has been an important part of the development of the Fediverse over the past couple of years. It has provided a space for projects to share their latest releases and features, and also enabled the serendipitous sharing of needs and ideas. The Projects page on the FediForum site documents a few of the collaborations that have come out of the event already.

I particularly remember how Ben Pate came to share what he was building (Emissary), how several creators in the music space came together during the same event to discuss their hopes for new social channels to connect with their audiences, and how that evolved into both Bandwagon, and The Indie Beat FM. I’ve loved being a part of these kinds of conversations!

An unconference can be difficult to navigate to some people, but it can also enable exactly these kinds of unexpected, delightful fusions of shared interest and technical know-how. At the same time, there’s also a lot of value in more organised, formal events with agendas known in advance. My own belief is that there’s space for both formats to support the Fediverse community, and I hope to see these happen in the coming years. In the meantime, you’ll see some adjustments to the format of FediForum itself, in response to feedback heard at recent town halls.

I’ve helped to run various unconference format events in person in the past; I’m also a public speaker; and, I have been a community organiser myself. I know how complicated it can be to make events like FediForum happen! I’m grateful to have the opportunity to help keep this important shared space open, available, and valuable for the future. I’m also delighted about the wonderful group of people that are on the advisory board – we have a shared passion for the Fediverse, and more importantly, we care about the humans that are part of it.

Looking forward to seeing folks again at FediForum, June 5-7.

Taking Control of Your Timeline – in Different Ways

One of the main ways that decentralised social networking platforms like Bluesky or Mastodon use to advertise themselves is that they gives people control over their timelines. Bluesky’s website highlights this as its primary feature, saying “Your timeline, your choice – Stay focused on your friend group, keep up-to-date on the latest news, or explore with an algorithm that learns what you like. On Bluesky, there’s a feed for that.” Mastodon takes a similar approach, and puts it front and center on the joinmastodon.org website, saying “Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see.” Both platforms share a common critique, namely that Big Tech’s control over algorithmic feeds results in systemic problems, and both see a solution in giving people control over their feeds.

But examining the different approaches taken by platforms in the fediverse and ATmosphere1 shows that both networks take quite different approaches. Moreover, these approaches seem compatible with each other, and it’s been surprising to me that no platform has really tried to unify these yet.

How Bluesky gives you choice

Bluesky is focused on giving people choice. Instead of one ‘For You’ feed with an opaque algorithm that Big Tech platforms have, Bluesky offers the users to subscribe to any number of feeds. New users start with a simple following feed, as well as an algorithmic feed, the Discover feed. AT Protocol (ATProto) allows people to create any type of feed, that others can subscribe to. Other tools and businesses have popped up to take advantage of this, such as Graze and Skyfeed. These tools give people the option to build their own custom feeds.

ATProto can be understood as one massive pool of data, that is publicly accessible to everyone. Users control their data, but it’s visible to any app. Every application build on top of ATProto takes a portion of that data, restructures it and presents it to the user via a client. A custom feed is effectively a application that is build on ATProto. It takes a small portion of the data of the entire network, and presents it to the user. For example, the News Feed is a custom feed made by an independent developer, which shows articles posted made by news organisations. It functions by taking only the Bluesky posts made by news organisations from the giant data pool that is the ATmosphere network, and orders the post in chronological order, and presents that to the user. Another example is the Moss Feed, which looks for all the Bluesky posts that contain pictures of moss in the entire network, and show those moss pictures to people who subscribe to the feed..

This gives us an answer as to what Bluesky means when the company says “your timeline, your choice”. The choice is that people can choose which part the entire network they want to see. They can choose to see the posts from the accounts they follow, they can choose to see posts from news organisations. The choice is in the data, and people express that choice by using a custom feed.

Fediverse platforms and choice

Fediverse platforms take a different approach to user choice over their timeline. Mastodon2 gives a user three feeds, the home timeline, which is the feed of what you follow, and by far the most important feed in Mastodon. (Mastodon also a few other feeds, which are significantly deprioritised.3) Where Bluesky wants to give people control by letting them pick any subset of the entire data of the network to see, Mastodon wants users to only see the content you opted in by following. This is the user choice that Mastodon advertises with on their site, where they say that “your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most”, meaning posts from accounts you follow.

Mastodon has a fairly strict idea of what content should be shown in your Home timeline: only content you follow. This is often the accounts you follow, but can also be hashtags. Nor does it have to be microblogging posts: Mastodon will happily show you content from other types of software, from WordPress articles to PeerTube videos to podcast episodes to RSS. As long as you can follow it via ActivityPub, it shows up in your Home timeline. It does not even have to abide by Mastodon’s own restrictions: a Mastodon post is limited to 500 characters by default, but other servers can set different limits. A Mastodon server with a 500 character limit will still show posts with a much higher character limit. The only restriction is that it has to be content you followed, or got boosted by an account you follow.

Mastodon also has a stronger focus on control over the content in your Home timeline. As the Home timeline is so important, there are many ways for users to take granular control over what they see. You can mute accounts you follow for a time period (helpful if someone is live blogging an event you are not interested in), turn off boosts from specific accounts if they have a tendency to boost too many posts, and a variety of other features.

Other fediverse software takes this a step further: Phanpy is a client for Mastodon, with a unique Catch-Up feature. This takes all the posts from your Home timeline from the last few hours, and gives you the option to display them in any way you want. You can group the posts by Author, sort them chronologically or reverse-chronologically, only display boosted posts sorted by boosts, and much more. Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform which shares quite some of the design features with Mastodon. It also has a strong focus on a Home timeline with content you follow, but with even more features to give users control over how the content on that Home timeline is displayed. The screenshot below displays the wide variety of options that people have to change how their Home timeline is displayed.

A selection of filters for a social media feed. It shows the option to sort the feed chronological, by replies, boosts or likes. It also gives the ability to filter by follows, posts, replies and more.

The wide variety of options that Bonfire gives represent the ideal vision of fediverse platforms on what user choice for your timeline looks like: the content you follow, with all the tools you need to organise that content.

Two approaches to a similar problem

Comparing these two networks, I find it interesting to see that their approaches to control over your feeds are quite different. Bluesky’s approach is great for discoverability. There is a lot of posts on the network that I’m interested in seeing that are made by accounts that I don’t follow. Custom feeds are absolutely great for that. Mastodon is great for giving me control over how I see the content I already decided to follow. There are a great many ways to shape and fine-tune my home feed exactly the way I want, and deal with annoyances as they pop up. Tools like Phanpy’s CatchUp give an unparalleled amount of control that no other platform even come close to.

People have been looking for alternatives to how Big Tech platforms handle their algorithmic feeds. Bluesky’s answer is to give people a maximum amount of control over which data they want to see, with fairly limited ways to control how that data is then displayed. Various fediverse platforms take a different approach: the only data you see is what you have deliberately selected for, with a maximum amount of control on how that data is displayed. That both networks have taken a different approach and focus on how to build better timeline, is a reflection on the belief systems of the people building these new social networks. Bluesky is focused on open and public data, and the custom feeds allow anyone to access that data. Mastodon sees the problem as that corporations control what you see, and as such only shows content that you have deliberately opted in to see. 

What’s interesting to me is that these approaches are not mutually exclusive. In fact, it is totally possible to build a system that provides both: The discoverability of custom feeds, with the customisability of Bonfire’s filtering system. It’s what I’m looking for, at least.

  3. Mastodon also has a local timeline, which shows all posts that are made on your server, and the federated timeline, shows posts from all accounts that everyone on your server follows. This does not scale particularly well: on Mastodon’s flagship server mastodon.social the local timeline and federated timeline update every second with a dozen new posts, making it literally impossible to read the timelines. There is also a Trending feed, which shows popular posts from across the network. ↩︎

One of the main ways that decentralised social networking platforms like Bluesky or Mastodon use to advertise themselves is that they gives people control over their timelines. Bluesky’s website highlights this as its primary feature, saying “Your timeline, your choice – Stay focused on your friend group, keep up-to-date on the latest news, or explore with an algorithm that learns what you like. On Bluesky, there’s a feed for that.” Mastodon takes a similar approach, and puts it front and center on the joinmastodon.org website, saying “Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see.” Both platforms share a common critique, namely that Big Tech’s control over algorithmic feeds results in systemic problems, and both see a solution in giving people control over their feeds.

But examining the different approaches taken by platforms in the fediverse and ATmosphere1 shows that both networks take quite different approaches. Moreover, these approaches seem compatible with each other, and it’s been surprising to me that no platform has really tried to unify these yet.

How Bluesky gives you choice

Bluesky is focused on giving people choice. Instead of one ‘For You’ feed with an opaque algorithm that Big Tech platforms have, Bluesky offers the users to subscribe to any number of feeds. New users start with a simple following feed, as well as an algorithmic feed, the Discover feed. AT Protocol (ATProto) allows people to create any type of feed, that others can subscribe to. Other tools and businesses have popped up to take advantage of this, such as Graze and Skyfeed. These tools give people the option to build their own custom feeds.

ATProto can be understood as one massive pool of data, that is publicly accessible to everyone. Users control their data, but it’s visible to any app. Every application build on top of ATProto takes a portion of that data, restructures it and presents it to the user via a client. A custom feed is effectively a application that is build on ATProto. It takes a small portion of the data of the entire network, and presents it to the user. For example, the News Feed is a custom feed made by an independent developer, which shows articles posted made by news organisations. It functions by taking only the Bluesky posts made by news organisations from the giant data pool that is the ATmosphere network, and orders the post in chronological order, and presents that to the user. Another example is the Moss Feed, which looks for all the Bluesky posts that contain pictures of moss in the entire network, and show those moss pictures to people who subscribe to the feed..

This gives us an answer as to what Bluesky means when the company says “your timeline, your choice”. The choice is that people can choose which part the entire network they want to see. They can choose to see the posts from the accounts they follow, they can choose to see posts from news organisations. The choice is in the data, and people express that choice by using a custom feed.

Fediverse platforms and choice

Fediverse platforms take a different approach to user choice over their timeline. Mastodon2 gives a user three feeds, the home timeline, which is the feed of what you follow, and by far the most important feed in Mastodon. (Mastodon also a few other feeds, which are significantly deprioritised.3) Where Bluesky wants to give people control by letting them pick any subset of the entire data of the network to see, Mastodon wants users to only see the content you opted in by following. This is the user choice that Mastodon advertises with on their site, where they say that “your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most”, meaning posts from accounts you follow.

Mastodon has a fairly strict idea of what content should be shown in your Home timeline: only content you follow. This is often the accounts you follow, but can also be hashtags. Nor does it have to be microblogging posts: Mastodon will happily show you content from other types of software, from WordPress articles to PeerTube videos to podcast episodes to RSS. As long as you can follow it via ActivityPub, it shows up in your Home timeline. It does not even have to abide by Mastodon’s own restrictions: a Mastodon post is limited to 500 characters by default, but other servers can set different limits. A Mastodon server with a 500 character limit will still show posts with a much higher character limit. The only restriction is that it has to be content you followed, or got boosted by an account you follow.

Mastodon also has a stronger focus on control over the content in your Home timeline. As the Home timeline is so important, there are many ways for users to take granular control over what they see. You can mute accounts you follow for a time period (helpful if someone is live blogging an event you are not interested in), turn off boosts from specific accounts if they have a tendency to boost too many posts, and a variety of other features.

Other fediverse software takes this a step further: Phanpy is a client for Mastodon, with a unique Catch-Up feature. This takes all the posts from your Home timeline from the last few hours, and gives you the option to display them in any way you want. You can group the posts by Author, sort them chronologically or reverse-chronologically, only display boosted posts sorted by boosts, and much more. Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform which shares quite some of the design features with Mastodon. It also has a strong focus on a Home timeline with content you follow, but with even more features to give users control over how the content on that Home timeline is displayed. The screenshot below displays the wide variety of options that people have to change how their Home timeline is displayed.

A selection of filters for a social media feed. It shows the option to sort the feed chronological, by replies, boosts or likes. It also gives the ability to filter by follows, posts, replies and more.

The wide variety of options that Bonfire gives represent the ideal vision of fediverse platforms on what user choice for your timeline looks like: the content you follow, with all the tools you need to organise that content.

Two approaches to a similar problem

Comparing these two networks, I find it interesting to see that their approaches to control over your feeds are quite different. Bluesky’s approach is great for discoverability. There is a lot of posts on the network that I’m interested in seeing that are made by accounts that I don’t follow. Custom feeds are absolutely great for that. Mastodon is great for giving me control over how I see the content I already decided to follow. There are a great many ways to shape and fine-tune my home feed exactly the way I want, and deal with annoyances as they pop up. Tools like Phanpy’s CatchUp give an unparalleled amount of control that no other platform even come close to.

People have been looking for alternatives to how Big Tech platforms handle their algorithmic feeds. Bluesky’s answer is to give people a maximum amount of control over which data they want to see, with fairly limited ways to control how that data is then displayed. Various fediverse platforms take a different approach: the only data you see is what you have deliberately selected for, with a maximum amount of control on how that data is displayed. That both networks have taken a different approach and focus on how to build better timeline, is a reflection on the belief systems of the people building these new social networks. Bluesky is focused on open and public data, and the custom feeds allow anyone to access that data. Mastodon sees the problem as that corporations control what you see, and as such only shows content that you have deliberately opted in to see. 

What’s interesting to me is that these approaches are not mutually exclusive. In fact, it is totally possible to build a system that provides both: The discoverability of custom feeds, with the customisability of Bonfire’s filtering system. It’s what I’m looking for, at least.

There is also a Trending feed, which shows popular posts from across the network. ↩︎

New: Taking Control of Your Timeline - in Different Ways

platforms as well as offer to give the user control of their timeline - in contrast with the control that Big Tech Platforms have with their algorithmic timelines.

But the approach is surprisingly different: fediverse platforms like Mastodon give you control over *how* you see the content you follow, whereas Bluesky gives you control over *what* content you see

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.

We are very close to doing a public GreatApe release.

Here is what the OpenGraph preview card will more or less look like — when you share a URL to a conversation on GreatApe.

(Although the exact look will depend on which front-end app you are using.)

This is Postmodern, my concept for a #Fediverse platform. This mockup is a builder interface for making your own UI, timelines, and pages visually. It’s a weird and ambitious concept, but this is what I’ve been dreaming about for years.

Blog post dropping this week.

A mockup of a builder interface, featuring a grid with floating, connected elements that allow a user to compose and fine things from whatever data their server knows about. 

Here, a mini-profile widget is composed by creating layers in a manner similar to Photoshop. Each layer takes custom options for styling and display.

I've been thinking about client-server interactions in the . isn't widely used, and most clients rely on Mastodon-compatible APIs instead.

What if we created a new standardized API based on GraphQL + Relay for client-server communication, while keeping ActivityPub for server-to-server federation?

The Mastodon-compatible API lacks formal schema definitions for code generation and type checking, which hurts developer productivity. And ActivityPub C2S is honestly too cumbersome to use directly from client apps.

would give us type safety, efficient data fetching (only get what you need), and the ability to evolve the API without breaking clients. 's features for pagination, caching, and optimistic updates seem perfect for social apps.

Would this be valuable to our community? What challenges do you see? How might we handle backward compatibility? And should this be formalized as an FEP?

Curious what others think about this approach.

@fossunleashed I kind of found the problem but, I've no idea how to fix it. Since, I can neither record or create screenshot, here's the gist.

So, the main disk `/dev/nvme0n1` is divided into 3 partition ->
1. `/dev/nvme0n1p1` : EFI System uses FAT (32-bit version)
2. `/dev/nvme0n1p2` : Linux extended boot uses Ext4 (version 1.0)
3. `/dev/nvme0n1p3` : Linux filesystem uses Btrfs

The above was the result of running `sudo fdisk -l`.

Goodmorning and , another update! ☕

Our new mod team is complete and has just started training! 😊 Over the next weeks they'll go through the CoC and modding rules, they'll handle a wide variety of practice cases, and will then move on to (already resolved) real reports. Because we're based all over the world, from Japan, South Korea, India, Europe, South Africa, to the US, the chat is asynchronous and slow. Hence the training will take a while.

As 's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?

While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.

Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.

Still, I see potential as the grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.

I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?

Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

So people & organizations willing to learn about the problems with Bigtech Socials & willing to experiment with Public Socials (aka Fediverse) can be served with this. Ultimately helping them to move away from Bigtech Socials & hopefully Bigtech in general.

Quite happy to formalize my work & experience into something other people can use as well.

I said I would publish this week, I guess it happened earlier than expected. This is a high-level overview of Postmodern, the #Fediverse platform I hope to someday build. It is the culmination of years of study as the network has continued to evolve.

I've been thinking about client-server interactions in the . isn't widely used, and most clients rely on Mastodon-compatible APIs instead.

What if we created a new standardized API based on GraphQL + Relay for client-server communication, while keeping ActivityPub for server-to-server federation?

The Mastodon-compatible API lacks formal schema definitions for code generation and type checking, which hurts developer productivity. And ActivityPub C2S is honestly too cumbersome to use directly from client apps.

would give us type safety, efficient data fetching (only get what you need), and the ability to evolve the API without breaking clients. 's features for pagination, caching, and optimistic updates seem perfect for social apps.

Would this be valuable to our community? What challenges do you see? How might we handle backward compatibility? And should this be formalized as an FEP?

Curious what others think about this approach.

Goodmorning and , another update! ☕

Our new mod team is complete and has just started training! 😊 Over the next weeks they'll go through the CoC and modding rules, they'll handle a wide variety of practice cases, and will then move on to (already resolved) real reports. Because we're based all over the world, from Japan, South Korea, India, Europe, South Africa, to the US, the chat is asynchronous and slow. Hence the training will take a while.

As 's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?

While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.

Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.

Still, I see potential as the grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.

I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?

Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

Hi @julian,
as long as nobody cares about the according standards, the will be a brittle nerd niche.

The according standard is IMO rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7565.htm ( and ) referring to rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7564#sec.

What you find in the wild, however, is a different story as thee is no agreed upon service nowhere.

That way we lower the bar to entry of Peertube, while having a direct onboarding and exposure to the #Fediverse.

This is Postmodern, my concept for a #Fediverse platform. This mockup is a builder interface for making your own UI, timelines, and pages visually. It’s a weird and ambitious concept, but this is what I’ve been dreaming about for years.

Blog post dropping this week.

A mockup of a builder interface, featuring a grid with floating, connected elements that allow a user to compose and fine things from whatever data their server knows about. 

Here, a mini-profile widget is composed by creating layers in a manner similar to Photoshop. Each layer takes custom options for styling and display.

As 's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?

While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.

Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.

Still, I see potential as the grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.

I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?

Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

This is Postmodern, my concept for a #Fediverse platform. This mockup is a builder interface for making your own UI, timelines, and pages visually. It’s a weird and ambitious concept, but this is what I’ve been dreaming about for years.

Blog post dropping this week.

A mockup of a builder interface, featuring a grid with floating, connected elements that allow a user to compose and fine things from whatever data their server knows about. 

Here, a mini-profile widget is composed by creating layers in a manner similar to Photoshop. Each layer takes custom options for styling and display.

The longer we spend here, the more comfortable we feel.

Fediverse Report – #116

FediForum will be next month, Discourse talks about their fediverse integration, and an update on Bonfire.

The News

FediForum has a new date and a new board

The fifth edition of FediForum has been rescheduled, and will be held on June 5-7. The event was originally planned for early April, but got cancelled at the last-minute after transphobic posts by one of the co-organisers of the event were surfaced. FediForum held two sessions in the meantime with the community on how the event should move forward. One of the outcomes is that there is now an advisory board for FediForum with people from the community. For this edition of FediForum, I will be hosting a session on what’s been going on in the fediverse in 2025. The network is constantly changing and evolving, and this session is intended to get you up to speed on what’s been happening in the last half year. More information on that soon.

Bandwagon talks about monetisation and sustainability

Bandwagon is a fediverse music sharing platform that’s currently in development, where artists can share their music. They are currently working on online album sales, and Bandwagon is committed to making this feature available without taking any transaction fees. In order for the project to be sustainable, Bandwagon is a paid 10$/month paid premium plan which will enable online album sales and higher bitrate streaming. At the same time, creator Ben Pate is also committed to keeping the software open source, and says that the project needs other Bandwagon servers to exist if the project is to be successful. – Bandwagon.fm

Discourse and the fediverse

Forum software Discourse has posted a blog talking about how they have integrated ActivityPub into their forums. They explain how Discourse forums can now select per category if it is federated, and thus followable by other fediverse software. It also shows what Discourse-to-Discourse federation looks like, allowing 2 forums to cooperate with each other. Federated forums require a mindset shift as have to get used to seeing forum posts in their microblogging timelines. Forum software like Discourse and NodeBB have made great strides in the technological capabilities regarding what’s possible with federated forums. Now people have to find out and experience what these technological features enable in practical use cases for people.

Bonfire slowly moves towards a 1.0 release

Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform, with a core functionality of microblogging with a focus on extensibility. In their latest update about how the platform is moving to a 1.0 release, Bonfire talks about the values and intentions of the platform, writing: “In a world of ‘move fast and break things,’ we’ve chosen a different tempo — one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship. Slow software means building for long-term resilience and meaningful participation, rather than chasing novelty, speed, or scale.”

Bonfire has taken a deliberate and mindful approach to software development, but their own description of “Slow Software” seems fairly accurate as well, as the team has talked about getting ready for a 1.0 release in the next few months since at least September 2023.

FediDB onboarding

Fediverse statistics site FediDB, operated by PixelFed and Loops creator Daniel Supernault, now has an onboarding tool to help people get started with the fediverse. It asks the user a few simple questions: first to select the type of content they are interested in, such as microblogging, video or forums. Based on that choice, it recommends various platforms. Based on the platform choice it asks for a few simple filters, such as region and community size, before presenting the user with a list of servers to choose from for registration.

The onboarding tool is sleekly designed, and streamlines the signup process by boiling it down to a few essential questions that the user needs to answer. However, this also showcases the issues that the fediverse has with onboarding new users: picking a platform and picking a server are meaningful choices that are hard to fully grasp the impact from as a new user. When it comes to picking a platform, the tool lists a few features for each platform, but comparing the relevance of these features is hard to do as an outsider. And when it comes to picking servers, the challenge is that servers themselves often do not publish relevant information that is needed to make an informed choice of which server to pick.

Mastodon: Giving Journalists Options Away From Big Tech

Saskia Welch from Newsmast writes about Mastodon and the fediverse at the recent International Journalism Festival. A consistent challenge remains to put all the lofty ideals about healthy social networks into practice, with Welch noting: “However, joining the platform continues to be a barrier for many users. A group of Italian women who attended the event abandoned their short effort to join the platform half-way into the presentation, confused about where to go and which app to use.” – WeDistribute/Saskia Welch

Owncast turns 5

The fediverse streaming platform Owncast turns 5 years this month, with a new merch store. One of the challenges of FOSS projects such as Owncast is the sustainability, and Owncast creator Gabe Kangas “at one point exhausted his personal savings so he could work on Owncast full-time.” Kangas says that now “people want to be around in meaningful ways. From the newsletter, core code contributions, the Roku app, people answering questions in chat, people brainstorming in GitHub, it’s important for it to be bigger than myself”. – Owncast Newsletter/Kit Rhett Aultman

Bandwagon is a fediverse music sharing platform that’s currently in development, where artists can share their music. They are currently working on online album sales, and Bandwagon is committed to making this feature available without taking any transaction fees. In order for the project to be sustainable, Bandwagon is a paid 10$/month paid premium plan which will enable online album sales and higher bitrate streaming. At the same time, creator Ben Pate is also committed to keeping the software open source, and says that the project needs other Bandwagon servers to exist if the project is to be successful. – Bandwagon.fm

Discourse and the fediverse

Forum software Discourse has posted a blog talking about how they have integrated ActivityPub into their forums. They explain how Discourse forums can now select per category if it is federated, and thus followable by other fediverse software. It also shows what Discourse-to-Discourse federation looks like, allowing 2 forums to cooperate with each other. Federated forums require a mindset shift as have to get used to seeing forum posts in their microblogging timelines. Forum software like Discourse and NodeBB have made great strides in the technological capabilities regarding what’s possible with federated forums. Now people have to find out and experience what these technological features enable in practical use cases for people.

Bonfire slowly moves towards a 1.0 release

Bonfire is an upcoming fediverse platform, with a core functionality of microblogging with a focus on extensibility. In their latest update about how the platform is moving to a 1.0 release, Bonfire talks about the values and intentions of the platform, writing: “In a world of ‘move fast and break things,’ we’ve chosen a different tempo — one rooted in care, deep listening, and collective stewardship. Slow software means building for long-term resilience and meaningful participation, rather than chasing novelty, speed, or scale.”

Bonfire has taken a deliberate and mindful approach to software development, but their own description of “Slow Software” seems fairly accurate as well, as the team has talked about getting ready for a 1.0 release in the next few months since at least September 2023.

FediDB onboarding

Fediverse statistics site FediDB, operated by PixelFed and Loops creator Daniel Supernault, now has an onboarding tool to help people get started with the fediverse. It asks the user a few simple questions: first to select the type of content they are interested in, such as microblogging, video or forums. Based on that choice, it recommends various platforms. Based on the platform choice it asks for a few simple filters, such as region and community size, before presenting the user with a list of servers to choose from for registration.

The onboarding tool is sleekly designed, and streamlines the signup process by boiling it down to a few essential questions that the user needs to answer. However, this also showcases the issues that the fediverse has with onboarding new users: picking a platform and picking a server are meaningful choices that are hard to fully grasp the impact from as a new user. When it comes to picking a platform, the tool lists a few features for each platform, but comparing the relevance of these features is hard to do as an outsider. And when it comes to picking servers, the challenge is that servers themselves often do not publish relevant information that is needed to make an informed choice of which server to pick.

Mastodon: Giving Journalists Options Away From Big Tech

Saskia Welch from Newsmast writes about Mastodon and the fediverse at the recent International Journalism Festival. A consistent challenge remains to put all the lofty ideals about healthy social networks into practice, with Welch noting: “However, joining the platform continues to be a barrier for many users. A group of Italian women who attended the event abandoned their short effort to join the platform half-way into the presentation, confused about where to go and which app to use.” – WeDistribute/Saskia Welch

Owncast turns 5

The fediverse streaming platform Owncast turns 5 years this month, with a new merch store. One of the challenges of FOSS projects such as Owncast is the sustainability, and Owncast creator Gabe Kangas “at one point exhausted his personal savings so he could work on Owncast full-time.” Kangas says that now “people want to be around in meaningful ways. From the newsletter, core code contributions, the Roku app, people answering questions in chat, people brainstorming in GitHub, it’s important for it to be bigger than myself”. – Owncast Newsletter/Kit Rhett Aultman

Fediverse Report – #116

FediForum will be next month, Discourse talks about their fediverse integration, and an update on Bonfire.

The News

FediForum has a new date and a new board

The fifth edition of FediForum has been rescheduled, and will be held on June 5-7. The event was originally planned for early April, but got cancelled at the last-minute after transphobic posts by one of the co-organisers of the event were surfaced. FediForum held two sessions in the meantime with the community on how the event should move forward. One of the outcomes is that there is now an advisory board for FediForum with people from the community. For this edition of FediForum, I will be hosting a session on what’s been going on in the fediverse in 2025. The network is constantly changing and evolving, and this session is intended to get you up to speed on what’s been happening in the last half year. More information on that soon.

As 's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?

While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.

Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.

Still, I see potential as the grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.

I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?

Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

@firesidefedi@social.firesidefedi.live

I'm already getting very excited for tonight! For those that don't know, I'm going to be talking with @pluralistic , Cory Doctorow, tonight on Fireside Fedi! If anyone has any questions feel free to message me here.

If you'd like to watch LIVE, please come and join us! If you don't know Cory, you should, but you probably know the term "enshitification" which Cory termed. As well as having many many other accolades.

Please share this out, not for my own fame, but I see these opportunities as ways to introduce new folks to the Fediverse and get excitement about it.

Everyone have a wonderful day!

Like a pair of boots, a good social platform needs wearing in 🥾

We love that building community on the social web doesn't happen overnight.

When people first joined platforms like Twitter, they grew their community slowly and carefully. The open social web lets you grow meaningful community once again.

The longer we spend here, the more comfortable we feel.

As 's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?

While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.

Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.

Still, I see potential as the grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.

I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?

Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.

You should follow them. One of the mainstream protocols that make the Fediverse even possible, commonly used on Mastodon, CherryPick, Misskey, and Sharkey, is called, ActivityPub. They help write that protocol.

I'm exploring a new idea called FediOTP (codename): an authentication system that uses DMs to deliver one-time passwords, allowing any account to authenticate with web services. Unlike current solutions that rely on specific APIs (, ), this would work with any ActivityPub-compatible server, increasing interoperability across the fediverse. Would love to hear your thoughts on potential challenges or use cases for this approach.

@randompenguin@friendica.world

Is there a comparison somewhere of the resource requirements for hosting various Fediverse platforms?

I know some of them have pretty low minimum system requirements, but they can grow quickly into resource hogs the more active users you have. For example this Friendica.World instance I'm on seems to struggle handing less than 4,000 accounts but various Mastodon and Pixelfed instances have hundreds of thousands of accounts without any apparent difficulty. Though I don't know what resources they have available to them. Some platforms appear to be more scalable than others.

I've been reluctant to run a server myself for a variety of reasons, but the big ones are not knowing how much it will cost, what kind of hosting it would require, or which platform to run.

It should be obvious by now most people do not want to run their own server, they want to go sign up on the biggest server for a platform they can find and let someone else assume the expense and risks of running it. So does anybody know what the lowest resource, most scalable, most stable platform is that can handle the most active users/accounts? Is there a nifty comparison table somewhere?

How PieFed federates “flair” on posts and comments

On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.

However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in FEP 1b12 which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:

For flair on posts, the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:

{
"type": "Group",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta",
"name": "piefed_meta",
/* ... */
"lemmy:tagsForPosts": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",
"text_color": "#000000",
"background_color": "#dedede"
}
]
}

lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects.

So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:

{
"id": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Page",
/* ... */
"tag": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"
},
{
"href": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"name": "asdf",
"type": "Hashtag"
}
]
}

In this example the post also has a hashtag on it.

User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.

{
"id": "https://piefed.social/comment/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Note",
/* ... */
"flair": "PieFed dev"
}

This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.

It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too.

Let’s see how it goes.

So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:

{
"id": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Page",
/* ... */
"tag": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"
},
{
"href": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"name": "asdf",
"type": "Hashtag"
}
]
}

In this example the post also has a hashtag on it.

User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.

{
"id": "https://piefed.social/comment/1",
"actor": "https://piefed.social/u/rimu",
"type": "Note",
/* ... */
"flair": "PieFed dev"
}

This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.

It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too.

Let’s see how it goes.

For some months now I am actively hesitating to publish my work-related stuff on (or any other centralized social network for that matter) so I am thinking of using the for it.

Do you have any advice for using fediverse as your -related social network? My use case for such a network would be: inspiring others to do good work, building and maintaining my professional "brand," and helping myself or my employer attract new talent.

Some topics to consider: Same account, separate account? Server software (Mastodon, Pleroma, ...)? Discovering (potential) colleagues, being discovered by them? Pointing existing LinkedIn users to your fediverse account? Adjusting language/tone of communication based on fediverse nuances?

I am eager to learn. Boosts are appreciated.

How PieFed federates “flair” on posts and comments

On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.

However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in FEP 1b12 which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:

For flair on posts, the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:

{
"type": "Group",
"id": "https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta",
"name": "piefed_meta",
/* ... */
"lemmy:tagsForPosts": [
{
"type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",
"id": "https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever",
"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",
"text_color": "#000000",
"background_color": "#dedede"
}
]
}

lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects.

So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:

"display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"
},
{
"href": "https://piefed.social/post/1",
"name": "asdf",
"type": "Hashtag"
}
]
}

@youronlyone@c.im

I found this cool software called via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website.

fedidb.com/software/neodb?vers

It's a tracking / shelf platform for / , / , , and

Automated import from work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.

Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.

Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?

Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.

* Method 1: You can add the details yourself

* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items

* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance

Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in .

Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).

I found this cool software called via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website.

fedidb.com/software/neodb?vers

It's a tracking / shelf platform for / , / , , and

Automated import from work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.

Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.

Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?

Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.

* Method 1: You can add the details yourself

* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items

* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance

Commercial entities can operate on the , provided everyone is free to completely mute them and defederate from them.

But: it's highly unlikely I'll be interested enough to follow any account operating transactionally with its audience, or in a marketing capacity, or fake engagement, etc. So, if there's a significant number like me, commercial activity will have a much more difficult time on the Fediverse than on centralised platforms; and IMO that's as it should be.

@fedify@hollo.social

We're excited to announce that we've implemented RFC 9421 (HTTP Message Signatures) in , complete with our double-knocking mechanism to maintain backward compatibility with the draft cavage version.

This implementation includes both signature generation and verification, meaning is used when both sending and receiving activities. While we haven't merged the RFC 9421 implementation branch yet, we're currently conducting interoperability tests with development versions of Mastodon and other implementations. Once these tests confirm compatibility, we'll proceed with the merge.

As noted in the attached docs, although RFC 9421 is the final and official standard for HTTP Signatures, the draft cavage version remains widely used across the . Our double-knocking mechanism ensures maximum compatibility by trying the RFC 9421 version first, then falling back to draft cavage if needed.

Currently, we support RSA-PKCS-v1.5 key pairs for generating HTTP Message Signatures, with plans to expand to other signature types in future releases.

We look forward to contributing to a more standardized and secure fediverse!

HTTP Message Signatures

This API is available since Fedify 1.6.0.

RFC 9421, also known as HTTP Message Signatures, is the final revision of the HTTP Signatures specification. Although it is the official standard, it is not widely used in the fediverse yet. As of May 2025, major ActivityPub implementations, such as Mastodon, et al., still rely on the draft cavage version of HTTP Signatures for signing portable activities.

Fedify automatically signs activities with the sender's private key if the actor keys dispatcher is set and the actor has any RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pair. If there are multiple key pairs, Fedify selects the first RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pair among them.

NOTE

Although HTTP Message Signatures support other than RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5, Fedify currently supports only RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pairs for generating HTTP Message Signatures. This limitation will be lifted in the future releases.

Double-knocking HTTP Signatures

This API is available since Fedify 1.6.0.

As you read above, there are two revisions of HTTP Signatures: the draft cavage version and the RFC 9421 version. The draft cavage version is declared as obsolete, but it is still widely used in the fediverse, and many ActivityPub implementations still rely on it. On the other hand, the RFC 9421 version is the official standard, but it is not widely used yet.

To support both versions of HTTP Signatures, Fedify uses the double-knocking mechanism: trying one version, then falling back to another if rejected. If it's the first encounter with the recipient server, Fedify tries the RFC 9421 version first, and if it fails, it falls back to the draft cavage version. If the recipient server accepts the RFC 9421 version, Fedify remembers it and uses the RFC 9421 version for the next time. If the recipient server rejects the RFC 9421 version, Fedify falls back to the draft cavage version and remembers it for the next time.

We're excited to announce that we've implemented RFC 9421 (HTTP Message Signatures) in , complete with our double-knocking mechanism to maintain backward compatibility with the draft cavage version.

This implementation includes both signature generation and verification, meaning is used when both sending and receiving activities. While we haven't merged the RFC 9421 implementation branch yet, we're currently conducting interoperability tests with development versions of Mastodon and other implementations. Once these tests confirm compatibility, we'll proceed with the merge.

As noted in the attached docs, although RFC 9421 is the final and official standard for HTTP Signatures, the draft cavage version remains widely used across the . Our double-knocking mechanism ensures maximum compatibility by trying the RFC 9421 version first, then falling back to draft cavage if needed.

Currently, we support RSA-PKCS-v1.5 key pairs for generating HTTP Message Signatures, with plans to expand to other signature types in future releases.

We look forward to contributing to a more standardized and secure fediverse!

HTTP Message Signatures

This API is available since Fedify 1.6.0.

RFC 9421, also known as HTTP Message Signatures, is the final revision of the HTTP Signatures specification. Although it is the official standard, it is not widely used in the fediverse yet. As of May 2025, major ActivityPub implementations, such as Mastodon, et al., still rely on the draft cavage version of HTTP Signatures for signing portable activities.

Fedify automatically signs activities with the sender's private key if the actor keys dispatcher is set and the actor has any RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pair. If there are multiple key pairs, Fedify selects the first RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pair among them.

NOTE

Although HTTP Message Signatures support other than RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5, Fedify currently supports only RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pairs for generating HTTP Message Signatures. This limitation will be lifted in the future releases.

The draft cavage version is declared as obsolete, but it is still widely used in the fediverse, and many ActivityPub implementations still rely on it. On the other hand, the RFC 9421 version is the official standard, but it is not widely used yet.

To support both versions of HTTP Signatures, Fedify uses the double-knocking mechanism: trying one version, then falling back to another if rejected. If it's the first encounter with the recipient server, Fedify tries the RFC 9421 version first, and if it fails, it falls back to the draft cavage version. If the recipient server accepts the RFC 9421 version, Fedify remembers it and uses the RFC 9421 version for the next time. If the recipient server rejects the RFC 9421 version, Fedify falls back to the draft cavage version and remembers it for the next time.

@fedify@hollo.social

We're excited to announce that we've implemented RFC 9421 (HTTP Message Signatures) in , complete with our double-knocking mechanism to maintain backward compatibility with the draft cavage version.

This implementation includes both signature generation and verification, meaning is used when both sending and receiving activities. While we haven't merged the RFC 9421 implementation branch yet, we're currently conducting interoperability tests with development versions of Mastodon and other implementations. Once these tests confirm compatibility, we'll proceed with the merge.

As noted in the attached docs, although RFC 9421 is the final and official standard for HTTP Signatures, the draft cavage version remains widely used across the . Our double-knocking mechanism ensures maximum compatibility by trying the RFC 9421 version first, then falling back to draft cavage if needed.

Currently, we support RSA-PKCS-v1.5 key pairs for generating HTTP Message Signatures, with plans to expand to other signature types in future releases.

We look forward to contributing to a more standardized and secure fediverse!

HTTP Message Signatures

This API is available since Fedify 1.6.0.

RFC 9421, also known as HTTP Message Signatures, is the final revision of the HTTP Signatures specification. Although it is the official standard, it is not widely used in the fediverse yet. As of May 2025, major ActivityPub implementations, such as Mastodon, et al., still rely on the draft cavage version of HTTP Signatures for signing portable activities.

Fedify automatically signs activities with the sender's private key if the actor keys dispatcher is set and the actor has any RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pair. If there are multiple key pairs, Fedify selects the first RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pair among them.

NOTE

Although HTTP Message Signatures support other than RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5, Fedify currently supports only RSA-PKCS#1-v1.5 key pairs for generating HTTP Message Signatures. This limitation will be lifted in the future releases.

I think you could address this 'want' (for community feeds) by using relays.

A relay could represent a community.

And could selectively relay posts from specific users (across the Fediverse) that are part of that community.

I remember some people years ago saying that — they wanted to "subscribe" to the "server live feeds" on community servers different from the one that they are on

This is a way of following & perhaps even joining a community without necessarily being on that server

Which for example is useful if you wanted to be part of more than one community but use the same account

Some servers on the Fediverse represent a community.

Maybe a community of bird photographers, or a cognitive science community, or a community of open-source software developers, etc.

in the past days I have read many threads about the importance of facts in social networks and federating them.

My fear is that they will not only remove tax status but also target Jimmy Wales, contributors and in the end the org domains.

Another factor (for him) seems to be —

It was free for him to give Substack a try.

He didn't have to pay money to get started with or use Substack.

Another factor (for him) seems to be —

Once he was on Substack he was able to find an audience — who read his work, who subscribed to him, who commented on his posts, who favorited and who shared his posts.

Another factor (for him) seems to be —

He saw some of his peers join Substack and have success there.

So, he was inclined to do similar.

Another factor (for him) seems to be —

He perceived Twitter as being prone to censorship. Including politically motivated censorship. Censorship of individual posts, and even by suspending Twitter account.

And thus risky to build an audience on Twitter — since your digital identity could be taken away from you at any time (by Twitter)

He felt that Substack was not only much more tolerant, but had a policy of being anti-censorship.

One factor (for him) seems to be —

He seems to tend to prefer to write long-form content.

Long essays.

Even series of long posts that could be turned into a book.

I have an old friend who, when he left Twitter, went over to Substack.

He has an academic background. And, by profession is a ghost writer. He has also written a number of his own books.

If you are interested in growing and spreading the Fediverse, then —

Why did he choose Substack over other alternatives?

Bonjour Fedi friends!

I haven't been posting about #selfhosting lately because my entire life has been taken over by filmmaking – creating a promo video for the #Fediverse with the amazing @samaaberg and @TheLifeofTarzan

I miss Terminal, Linux commands and installing / updating things... but I am on a new learning journey. After nearly a decade of editing in Adobe Premiere, I am now moving to #DaVinciResolve. At this point Adobe's prices are extortionate... I will have to do motion graphics in AfterEffects but I won't be paying for multiple Creative Cloud apps.

The learning curve for DaVinci Resolve is a little steeper than expected but I'm having a lot of fun.

And yes, yes, I know, at some point I will try the #FOSS video editing software https://kdenlive.org. On my to do list for the summer!

I hope you're having a lovely day 🌞

The past few weeks I've been working with great pleasure on the proof of concept of a huge website. Inspired by @elena who pointed me to Yunohost.

The idea is a complete alternative to Google. So a website where you can go for search, email, cloud storage, maps, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, TikTok, translation function, XMPP chat function, etc.

Proudly, I am the youngest and hands-down the craziest member of the board—I joined our first meeting from @ilcubobeach, with a beer in my hand. 😎

Reach out if you have issues, questions, or ideas to raise. I am, we are, all ears.

There is no (explicit or implicit) Emperor, Shahanshah, or God-King of the Fediverse.

You don't wait for permission to affect the Fediverse. You just do it.

Want a new app? Create it.
Want a new protocol. Implement it.
Want a new UX? Design it.
Etc.

Don't have the skills yourself — advocate for it with people who do.

Fediverse Report – #115

PeerTube has a new update for their mobile app, the Mastodon team is growing, and more.

The News

  • PeerTube has officially launched their apps as a v1, some four months after the apps became available in beta. Some new features include the ability to log in with an existing PeerTube account (up until now you’d log in with a local account that only existed in the app itself), commenting from the app, and playlist and channel management options.
  • Mastodon announced some updates on how their team is evolving. The organisation is currently in the process of setting up a Foundation in Europe. Mastodon is also growing their team, and the organisation now consists of 15 employees. Mastodon’s news update is a followup on their announcement from January 2025, in which Mastodon said that current CEO Eugen Rochko would step down. A new CEO has not been announced yet by Mastodon. In the previous update, Mastodon also said that they would need a €5 million annual operating budget. There are some new team members related to fundraising, but Mastodon has not made a clear statement yet on how exactly they will raise the money needed for this budget.
  • Evan Prodromou of the Social Web Foundation has published a first version of places.pub. It is a service that “makes OpenStreetMap geographical data available as ActivityPub objects.” The goal is for other fediverse software to integrate with places.pub to have a standardised way to refer to geospatial objects via ActivityPub.

The Links

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

I’m really happy to have been asked to join the new FediForum Advisory Board that is helping to guide and steer the future of the event.

We are proud to announce the first-ever FediForum advisory board. We are very glad to have such an incredible group of committed and experienced Open Social Web pioneers and advocates come together to advise FediForum and help move the Open Social Web forward.

— FediForum (@fediforum) 2025-05-06T18:49:33.513Z

FediForum has been an important part of the development of the Fediverse over the past couple of years. It has provided a space for projects to share their latest releases and features, and also enabled the serendipitous sharing of needs and ideas. The Projects page on the FediForum site documents a few of the collaborations that have come out of the event already.

I particularly remember how Ben Pate came to share what he was building (Emissary), how several creators in the music space came together during the same event to discuss their hopes for new social channels to connect with their audiences, and how that evolved into both Bandwagon, and The Indie Beat FM. I’ve loved being a part of these kinds of conversations!

An unconference can be difficult to navigate to some people, but it can also enable exactly these kinds of unexpected, delightful fusions of shared interest and technical know-how. At the same time, there’s also a lot of value in more organised, formal events with agendas known in advance. My own belief is that there’s space for both formats to support the Fediverse community, and I hope to see these happen in the coming years. In the meantime, you’ll see some adjustments to the format of FediForum itself, in response to feedback heard at recent town halls.

I’ve helped to run various unconference format events in person in the past; I’m also a public speaker; and, I have been a community organiser myself. I know how complicated it can be to make events like FediForum happen! I’m grateful to have the opportunity to help keep this important shared space open, available, and valuable for the future. I’m also delighted about the wonderful group of people that are on the advisory board – we have a shared passion for the Fediverse, and more importantly, we care about the humans that are part of it.

Looking forward to seeing folks again at FediForum, June 5-7.

How hard would it be for a fediverse app to give me a daily or weekly notification about each of my saved drafts? So I can start a reply, decide it needs more thought, save it, and get reminded of it.

Bonus points for being able to schedule a reminder notification for each saved post. A day for this one, a week for this one, and so on.

GreatApe is a public conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo) — where an audience can listen to your conversation live.

Although we have been using GreatApe internally since the year 2023 (to create video podcasts) — we haven't done a public release of GreatApe yet (that everyone can use).

I think the first public MVP release of GreatApe will be soon.

We are just "polishing" it now. And, "cleaning up" minor things.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.

I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.

(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

Good morning Fedi friends!

Here is a sneak peek at the video I've been working on with @samaaberg & @TheLifeofTarzan. I feel super lucky to be doing this with them: they are brilliant! ✨

It's the 1st time in my life I'm in front of the camera - thank you Sam & Riyen for your patience (I'm sooo uncomfortable being on screen) 😅

You'll notice in the video has a cameo - along with awesome stickers by @andypiper @yunohost @Mastodon and @molly0xfff

a screenshot from the software DaVinci Resolve showing yours truly (woman with long brown hair wearing a red & white striped shirt) sitting on a couch in front of a computer. The lid is in focus while my face is slightly blurry. There is a bookcase behind me. On the lid of the laptop you can see multiple stickers: "I am part of the rebel alliance" "YunoHost" the Mastodon logo, an illustration of filmmaker Agnès Varda, "We can have a better internet" and "good vibes only". Plushtodon is sitting on the couch next to me

I am humbled and thrilled to be a member of the @fediforum Advisory Board!

It was formed to address the hard questions, and to make the most welcoming and ispiring gathering to push our beloved to a brighter future.

Proudly, I am the youngest and hands-down the craziest member of the board—I joined our first meeting from @ilcubobeach, with a beer in my hand. 😎

Reach out if you have issues, questions, or ideas to raise. I am, we are, all ears.

It’s so cool to collaborate with this group of incredibly skilled people!

Long live the Fediverse ⁂ ❤️

Fediverse Report – #115

PeerTube has a new update for their mobile app, the Mastodon team is growing, and more.

The News

  • PeerTube has officially launched their apps as a v1, some four months after the apps became available in beta. Some new features include the ability to log in with an existing PeerTube account (up until now you’d log in with a local account that only existed in the app itself), commenting from the app, and playlist and channel management options.
  • Mastodon announced some updates on how their team is evolving. The organisation is currently in the process of setting up a Foundation in Europe. Mastodon is also growing their team, and the organisation now consists of 15 employees. Mastodon’s news update is a followup on their announcement from January 2025, in which Mastodon said that current CEO Eugen Rochko would step down. A new CEO has not been announced yet by Mastodon. In the previous update, Mastodon also said that they would need a €5 million annual operating budget. There are some new team members related to fundraising, but Mastodon has not made a clear statement yet on how exactly they will raise the money needed for this budget.
  • Evan Prodromou of the Social Web Foundation has published a first version of places.pub. It is a service that “makes OpenStreetMap geographical data available as ActivityPub objects.” The goal is for other fediverse software to integrate with places.pub to have a standardised way to refer to geospatial objects via ActivityPub.

あと完全時系列のタイムラインでも、こんな時間差でリアクションいただけるのは文字通り Boost :boost_requested: バケツリレーして頂いてるからだとおもうのでありがたい(別に耳目を集めたくて投稿してるわけではないとしても)

あと、 から距離を置いててもアカウント削除までする人は意外と少数派なのかなやっぱり(投稿した内容はたぶんアカウントを残して人は意外と気づかないことというのもリアクションいただいたきっかけとしてあるのかな?

After reviewing FEP-5624: Per-object reply control policies and GoToSocial's interaction policy spec, I find myself leaning toward the latter for long-term considerations, though both have merit.

FEP-5624 is admirably focused and simpler to implement, which I appreciate. However, 's approach seems to offer some architectural advantages:

  1. The three-tier permission model (allow/require approval/deny) feels more flexible than binary allow/deny
  2. Separating approval objects from interactions appears more secure against forgery
  3. The explicit handling of edge cases (mentioned users, post authors) provides clearer semantics
  4. The extensible framework allows for handling diverse interaction types, not just replies

I wonder if creating an that extracts GoToSocial's interaction policy design into a standalone standard might be worthwhile. It could potentially serve as a more comprehensive foundation for access control in .

This is merely my initial impression though. I'd be curious to hear other developers' perspectives on these approaches.

That's an impressive statistic!

I didn't know allows only one hashtag per post! 🤔

The is mainly :blobcatgiggle:
Threads is so very different from it.

It doesn't have an algorithm, so one can't expect "virality" that can happen on other Main stream social media.

However, there are a few kinds of posts that work really well here. For eg.:

  1. Fuck Trump
  2. Capitalism bad
  3. Luigi is a hero
  4. Privacy important
  5. Zuckerberg Evil
  6. Cats
  7. Firefox/Linux is the best
  8. Viva la Ukraine/Palestine

These posts with the right kind of hashtags almost always do well. :blobcat: Mastdon may have just become the Left version of Twitter, just like .

Threads is more commercial. Moreover, most Fedi instances block/restrict Fedi lol.

Also, I wonder why you responded from your Mastodon account when I @ mentioned your Threads account. 😅

How has your experience differed b/w the two, in terms of interaction with the people?

@hongminhee@hackers.pub


최근 X(구 Twitter)를 떠나는 사람들이 늘면서 Bluesky에 대한 관심이 뜨겁습니다. Bluesky는 깔끔한 인터페이스와 과거 Twitter와 유사한 사용자 경험을 제공하며, 신뢰할 수 있는 이탈(credible exit)이라는 매력적인 개념을 내세워 X의 유력한 대안으로 떠오르고 있습니다. 하지만 Bluesky와 그 기반 프로토콜인 AT Protocol을 연합우주(fediverse)의 대안으로 보기에는 근본적인 차이가 존재합니다. 이 글에서는 Christine Lemmer-Webber 씨(@cwebber)의 날카로운 분석(〈Bluesky는 실제로 얼마나 탈중앙화 되어 있나〉 및 〈답장: 답장: Bluesky와 탈중앙화〉)을 바탕으로, Bryan Newbold 씨(@bnewbold)의 반론(〈Bluesky와 탈중앙화에 대한 답변〉)을 충분히 고려하면서 Bluesky가 어째서 X의 대안은 될 수 있어도 연합우주의 대안은 될 수 없는지 이야기를 풀어볼까 합니다.

메시지 전달 對 공유 힙: 근본적인 설계 차이

Bluesky와 연합우주의 가장 큰 차이점 중 하나는 설계입니다. 연합우주는 이메일이나 XMPP와 유사한 메시지 전달(message passing) 방식을 채택하고 있습니다. 이는 특정 수신자에게 메시지를 직접 전달하는 방식으로, 효율성이 높습니다. 예를 들어, 수많은 서버 중 단 몇 곳의 사용자만 특정 메시지에 관심을 있다면 해당 서버에만 메시지를 전달하면 됩니다. 비유하자면, 철수가 영희에게 편지를 보내려면 직접 영희의 집으로 편지를 보내고, 영희가 회신하고 싶으면 직접 철수에게 회신하는 것과 같은 방식입니다.

반면, Bluesky는 공유 힙(shared heap) 방식을 사용합니다. 이는 메시지를 특정 수신자에게 직접 보내는 대신, 모든 메시지를 중앙의 “릴레이”라는 곳에 저장하고, 관심 있는 사용자가 릴레이에서 자신에게 필요한 정보를 필터링하는 방식입니다. 이는 마치 모든 편지가 하나의 거대한 우체국(릴레이)에 쌓이고, 각자가 이 우체국에 방문하여 자신에게 관련된 편지를 직접 찾아야 하는 것과 같습니다. 이런 방식에서는 메시지가 직접 전달되지 않기 때문에, 답글이 어떤 메시지에 대한 것인지 파악하려면 모든 가능한 메시지를 알고 있어야 합니다.

이 설계는 데이터와 색인을 분리하여 유연성을 제공한다는 주장도 있지만, 필연적으로 대규모 중앙 집권화된 릴레이에 의존하게 되어 탈중앙화의 이상과는 거리가 멀어진다는 한계가 있습니다.

결국 Bluesky가 공유 힙 방식을 채택하고 중앙 집권화된 릴레이에 의존하게 되는 데에는 운영 비용이라는 현실적인 이유가 크게 작용합니다. Christine Lemmer-Webber 씨의 분석에 따르면, Bluesky에서 전체 네트워크 기록을 저장하는 릴레이를 운영하는 데에는 상당한 스토리지를 요구하며, 이는 빠르게 증가하고 있습니다. 2024년 7월에는 약 1TB의 저장 공간이 필요했지만, 불과 4개월 후인 11월에는 약 5TB로 증가했습니다. 상업용 호스팅 서비스 기준으로 이는 연간 수만 달러(약 $55,000)에 달하는 비용이 발생할 수 있습니다.

반면, 연합우주에서는 개인이나 소규모 단체가 Raspberry Pi와 같은 저렴한 장비로도 GoToSocial과 같은 소프트웨어를 실행하여 독립적인 노드를 운영할 수 있습니다. 물론 대규모 연합우주 인스턴스는 더 많은 비용이 들겠지만, Bluesky의 전체 릴레이 운영 비용과는 비교하기 어려울 정도로 저렴합니다. 이처럼 운영 비용의 현격한 차이는 Bluesky가 분산된 구조를 채택하기 어렵게 만들고, 결국 중앙 집권화된 릴레이에 의존하게 만드는 주요 원인이라고 볼 수 있습니다.

전역 뷰에 대한 집착과 중앙 집권화의 심화

Bluesky는 댓글 누락과 같은 문제를 피하기 위해 네트워크 전체의 일관된 전역 뷰를 유지하는 데 집중하는 것으로 보입니다. 이러한 목표는 사용자 경험 측면에서 긍정적일 수 있지만, 필연적으로 중앙 집권화를 야기합니다. 대표적인 예가 차단 목록의 전체 공개입니다. 네트워크 전체의 일관성을 유지하기 위해 누가 누구를 차단했는지 모든 앱뷰가 알아야 하므로, 차단 정보가 공개되는 것입니다.

이는 개인 정보 보호 측면에서 심각한 우려를 낳을 수 있습니다. 단순히 누군가의 게시물을 보고 차단된 사람을 추측하는 것과, 네트워크에 “J. K. Rowling[1]을 차단한 모든 사람”을 직접 질의할 수 있는 것 사이에는 큰 차이가 있습니다. 실제로 ActivityPub 개발 과정에서는 이런 문제를 고려하여 서버 간에 차단 활동을 전달하지 않도록 명시적으로 설계했습니다. 이는 차단한 사람이 차단당한 사람의 보복을 받을 위험을 줄이기 위함입니다.

반면 연합우주에서는 각 서버가 독립적으로 차단 정책을 시행하며, 사용자에게 더 많은 자율성을 제공합니다.

AT Protocol과 개방형 표준으로서의 ActivityPub

연합우주의 핵심 프로토콜인 ActivityPub은 W3C의 채택 권고안으로, 개방형 표준입니다. 이는 누구나 자유롭게 구현하고 사용할 수 있으며, 다양한 소프트웨어 간의 상호 운용성을 보장합니다. 현재 페디버스 커뮤니티는 FEP를 중심으로 활발하게 프로토콜을 개선하고 발전시켜 나가고 있습니다. 반면, Bluesky의 AT Protocol은 아직 특정 사기업에 의해 주도되고 있으며, 개방형 표준으로서의 지위는 아직 확립되지 않았습니다. 이는 페디버스가 가진 확장성과 지속 가능성 측면에서 중요한 차이점이라고 할 수 있습니다.

DM의 중앙화

Bluesky는 콘텐츠 주소 지정이나 이동 가능한 아이덴티티와 같은 탈중앙화 요소를 도입했지만, DM은 완전히 중앙화되어 있습니다. 사용자가 어떤 PDS를 사용하든, 어떤 릴레이를 사용하든 상관없이 모든 DM은 Bluesky 회사를 통해 전송됩니다.

이는 Bluesky가 아직 기능적으로 완전한 Twitter 대체품이 되기 위해 속도를 우선시했다는 증거입니다. Bluesky는 이 DM 시스템이 장기적인 솔루션이 아니라고 밝혔지만, 대부분의 사용자들은 이 사실을 인지하지 못하고 있으며 DM도 AT Protocol의 다른 기능처럼 작동한다고 가정합니다.

이러한 중앙화된 DM 구현은 “신뢰할 수 있는 이탈”이라는 Bluesky의 핵심 가치와도 모순됩니다. 만약 Bluesky社가 적대적인 인수나 정책 변경을 겪게 된다면, 사용자들의 개인 대화는 완전히 회사의 통제 하에 남게 됩니다.

이동 가능한 아이덴티티와 DID: Bluesky 방식의 한계

Bluesky는 이동 가능한 아이덴티티(portable identity)를 핵심적인 장점 중 하나로 내세우며, 이를 위해 DIDs, 즉 분산 식별자를 활용합니다. 이는 사용자가 자신의 계정과 데이터를 다른 플랫폼으로 쉽게 이동할 수 있도록 하는 중요한 기능입니다. 하지만 Christine Lemmer-Webber는 AT Protocol이 채택한 did:webdid:plc 방식이 여전히 DNS와 Bluesky社가 관리하는 중앙 집권화된 PLC 레지스트리에 의존하고 있어 완전한 사용자 통제하의 독립적인 아이덴티티를 제공하는지 의문을 제기합니다.

더 놀라운 점은 Bluesky社가 초기에 모든 계정에 대해 동일한 rotationKeys를 사용했다는 사실입니다. 이는 클라우드 HSM 제품이 키별로 비용을 청구해서 각 사용자에게 고유한 키를 제공하는 것이 금전적으로 비용이 많이 들었기 때문이라고 합니다. 이러한 접근 방식은 DIDs 시스템을 구축하는 근본적인 목표와 모순되는 것으로 보입니다.

중요한 점은 DIDs 기술 자체가 탈중앙화된 아이덴티티를 위한 잠재력을 가지고 있음에도, Bluesky와 AT Protocol이 채택한 특정 방식이 중앙 집권화된 요소에 의존한다는 것입니다. 블록체인 기반의 DIDs와 같은 진정으로 탈중앙화된 방식도 존재하지만, AT Protocol은 비교적 구현이 쉬운 did:webdid:plc를 선택했습니다. 따라서 사용자가 Bluesky 생태계를 벗어나 자신의 아이덴티티를 완전히 독립적으로 관리하고자 할 때 제약이 발생할 수 있습니다.

또한 현재 시스템에서는 Bluesky社가 사용자의 키를 대신 관리하고 있어, 사용자가 현재는 Bluesky社를 신뢰하더라도 미래에 신뢰하지 않게 된 경우에도 여전히 회사에 의존해야 합니다. Bluesky社가 사용자를 대신하여 이동을 수행하도록 신뢰해야 하며, 심지어 Bluesky社가 사용자에게 향후 신원 정보를 제어할 권한을 위임하더라도 Bluesky社는 항상 해당 사용자의 키를 통제할 것입니다.

한편, 연합우주에서는 이미 노마딕 아이덴티티(nomadic identity)라는 개념을 통해 이동 가능한 아이덴티티에 대한 논의와 연구가 활발하게 진행되어 왔습니다. 이는 단순히 계정을 이전하는 것을 넘어, 사용자의 데이터와 관계, 심지어 평판까지도 자유롭게 이동할 수 있도록 하는 더 포괄적인 개념입니다. 《We Distribute》에 실린 기사 〈오, Zot! ActivityPub에 노마딕 아이덴티티가 도입된다〉에 소개된 Zot 프로토콜과 같은 기술은 이미 연합우주 안에서 이러한 노마딕 아이덴티티를 구현하기 위한 메커니즘을 제공하고 있습니다. 또한, FEP-ef61와 같은 제안을 통해 ActivityPub 자체를 개선하여 더 나은 이동 가능한 아이덴티티 기능을 추가하려는 노력도 진행 중입니다.

그래서, 결론은?

결론적으로, Bluesky는 사용자 친화적인 인터페이스와 신뢰할 수 있는 이탈 기능을 통해 X의 훌륭한 대안이 될 수 있습니다. Bluesky는 콘텐츠 주소 지정 방식을 통해 노드가 다운되더라도 콘텐츠가 살아남을 수 있게 하는 등 연합우주가 아직 충분히 활용하지 못하는 몇 가지 강점도 가지고 있습니다.

하지만 중앙 집권화된 설계, 전역 뷰에 대한 집착으로 인한 부작용, 개방형 표준으로서의 한계, DM의 중앙화, 그리고 이동 가능한 아이덴티티 구현의 제한점 등 여러 측면에서 연합우주의 대안으로 보기는 어렵습니다. 연합우주는 메시지 전달 방식의 분산된 아키텍처, 낮은 참여 장벽, 개방형 표준 기반의 활발한 커뮤니티 개발, 그리고 사용자에게 더 많은 자율성과 통제권을 제공하는 철학을 바탕으로 구축된, 근본적으로 다른 종류의 탈중앙화 소셜 네트워크입니다.

또한, Bluesky社가 벤처 캐피털 자금을 확보함에 따라 “조직은 미래의 적이다”라는 그들의 자체 인식에도 불구하고, 투자자 수익과 플랫폼 성장이라는 상업적 압력이 진정한 탈중앙화 추구보다 우선시될 위험이 있습니다. 특히 유료 계정과 광고가 도입되면서 이러한 우려는 더욱 커질 수 있습니다.

따라서 Bluesky는 X를 대체할 수 있을지 모르지만, 연합우주가 제공하는 탈중앙화된 가치와 경험을 대체하기는 어려울 것이라고 생각합니다. 두 시스템은 근본적으로 다른 목표와 설계 철학을 가지고 있으며, 이상적으로는 서로를 보완하는 방향으로 발전해 나갈 수 있을 것입니다.

Is the really open for ?

In the last weeks, I noticed more & more messages from different instances/admins about moderation, banning and de-federations. Initially, people told the Fediverse is more open, not blocking and deleting content compared to other social medias. However, I think it shifted to the opposite where a single instance admin decides for the whole user base (which might not even be aware of it).

I like Tapestry for following Masradon, BlueSky and RSS feeds but have the problem that I can’t interact on it. I would love if there was a way to have posts open in a different app like Ivory when I want to start, share, or respond to a post. The current situation of it opening a web browser and having to log in is much friction.

Bluesky is cancelling accounts when foreign governments ask them to, and Threads is doing adverts soon.

The thing to understand about the corporate public messaging systems is that they do not exist to let you publish or to talk to people. That is not the point of them. That's at best just the bait laid to lure you into their trap.

They exist to make money for the shareholders. That's why Threads exists, that's why Blockchain Inc invested to keep Bluesky running.

Only one network exists in order to let people communicate as the point and reason for it's existence. Only one network has no shareholders and no owners.

Only one is fighting for the user, not the shareholder.

What should Process be about? et al? Or everything that vaguely represents ?

I took FEP codeberg chat to a thread that discusses how we can ensure and foster an open and grassroots ecosystem.

Imho the FEP Process should define its particular scope of protocols and technologies that are relevant, and that involves AS/AP and closely affiliated technologies.

FEP Process should NOT define what is. Leave that to Fedizens.

Early bits of of look how, I created one in one instance (verifiedby.maho.dev) for @lqdev and it got decentralized/federated to other instance (badges.vocalcat.com)

So, badges are coming to the .

In a technical note, I am using notes (so it gets published to mastodon), but adding the badge as "attachment" which is in the spec. Tried document type before, but it does not render in Mastodon. I am going to work in supporting openbadges as activitypub attachments as well, so you can bring your existing openbadges to the fediverse.

Early bits of of look how, I created one in one instance (verifiedby.maho.dev) for @lqdev and it got decentralized/federated to other instance (badges.vocalcat.com)

So, badges are coming to the .

In a technical note, I am using notes (so it gets published to mastodon), but adding the badge as "attachment" which is in the spec. Tried document type before, but it does not render in Mastodon. I am going to work in supporting openbadges as activitypub attachments as well, so you can bring your existing openbadges to the fediverse.

The people of the fediverse are so kind! Thank you to everyone who helped me today!

This is why I chose to bring my Critters application (aka my baby passion project) into the Fediverse!

Please take this photo of my cats as a token of my appreciation!
Keep being awesome <3

Throwback to this illust that took me forever bc my laptop was dying and Ps was too much for it. This is more than A DECADE old.


A red-haired girl follows deer tracks through a snowy forest, when she suddenly glances to her side and sees a towering shadow fall across the snow—antlers wide and gnarled like branches, the silhouette of a creature that resembles a colossal buck.

Hey fedi, I need some help!

I am trying to connect an application I am making with the Fediverse. When I search for an actor I am successfully able to get to the profile (yay) but when I search for a post I cannot find it.

I am receiving the GET request and am sending the response with the content type ("application/activity+json") (for example):

{
"@context":"w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
"name":"New Note",
"type":"Note",
"id":"critters.jpleite.eu/posts/1",
"attributedTo":"critters.jpleite.eu/users/1",
"content":"Hello there!",
"to":[]
}

Why would Mastodon not display the post?

"What about free speech?"

A common question, often misunderstood. This new IFTAS Connect Library article breaks down what free speech really means (especially in US contexts), how it's often misapplied in moderation debates, and why community boundaries matter.

I believe that and the represent some of the most important advancements in social networking design and technology. They have the potential to reverse the harms wrought by the monolithic social media platforms of yesterday.

But even more than that, Mastodon and the Fediverse can be so much more than what we are against. We have so much potential. I believe in all of our power to build and change the world. We start by building and convening in healthier online communities because we are strength together is far more than the sum of our differences. I believe in building technologies that help bring out the best in humanity; I believe in the amazing things we can do and be when we work together.

I love Mastodon. I love what we are and what we will be. Now let’s build a better world together 💞

@Mastodon it will be tricky to liberate people from legacy social media platforms. People that embrace the values and vision of the have already migrated years ago, despite the usability issues. New opportunities do come when there are major shocks, like political events but luck favors the prepared: grew a lot as of late because of a smoother UX and catering in particular to US users fleeing X/Tweeter.

Tough job but failure not an option 🙏😍😬🖖

🚨 From April 2025, Community Feeds are changing!

We’re slowly rolling out updates to our 62 Community Feeds.

Community Feeds bring together topical knowledge across the open social web. They won’t be going anywhere, don’t worry, but they’ll be getting a fresh lick of paint before we launch Channel.org - including changing their name from Feeds to Channels.

Question of the day, I have hosted on my halis.io domain, same for my instance, and it works without issues because one uses and the other

But, if I setup a instance on the same domain, as in without subdomain, it shouldn’t work, right ?

Would there be a way to converge both manyfold and mastodon under the same base domain ? Or do I have to use a subdomain for one ?

1. Mai Kundgebung in mit Plakaten!

Ein buntes Plakat auf einer Demo, mitten in einer feiernden Menschenmenge: "Fediverse – Netz fuer alle" und "Deine Macht im Netz" steht gross darauf. Andere Schilder fordern "Save Social Love Fediverse" und nehmen ironisch Bezug auf Elon Musk. Zwischen Konfetti, Sonne und Protest zeigt sich hier ein klarer Wunsch: ein offenes, dezentrales Internet jenseits von Algorithmenmacht, Profitinteressen und Plattformkontrolle. Das Fediverse steht dabei als Symbol fuer digitale Selbstbestimmung und Gemeinschaft – getragen von Nutzer:innen, nicht von Konzernen.

1. Mai Kundgebung in mit Plakaten!

Foto via

Ein buntes Plakat auf einer Demo, mitten in einer feiernden Menschenmenge: "Fediverse – Netz fuer alle" und "Deine Macht im Netz" steht gross darauf. Andere Schilder fordern "Save Social Love Fediverse" und nehmen ironisch Bezug auf Elon Musk. Zwischen Konfetti, Sonne und Protest zeigt sich hier ein klarer Wunsch: ein offenes, dezentrales Internet jenseits von Algorithmenmacht, Profitinteressen und Plattformkontrolle. Das Fediverse steht dabei als Symbol fuer digitale Selbstbestimmung und Gemeinschaft – getragen von Nutzer:innen, nicht von Konzernen.

Goodmorning and ☕️ Hope you're all doing well!

I just wanted to say how positively overwhelmed I am by all the responses from our community after our call for volunteers! 😊 Next week I'll figure out how to invite you all to Mattermost, and then we'll build a team. The 📣 call 📣 is still open, more responses are always welcome.

There's some discussion about how to learn from past situations, I promise that will be a longer blogpost in the future. For now, basics first!

I’ve worked in tech for many years, and one of the events that has been a constant part of the calendar is SXSW. I remember signing up for Twitter back in 2007 just after I heard about it while chatting in Roo Reynolds’ office at IBM, from a visitor who had been at SXSW where it first took off (referenced in a post back over here).

That was nearly 20 years ago now – and in all of that time, I never had the opportunity to go to SXSW for the tech part1 of the festival…

This year, our friends at Flipboard created a side event they called Fediverse House, as a eye-catching label for a series of talks and sessions around the open social web

[yes, it was broader than the Fediverse; some other platforms and topics were represented, too. It was great to be able to talk about the Fediverse]

I was excited to be able to join the event2, and even more so, I was honoured to be asked to join a panel moderated by the wonderful Mia Quagliarello all about building communities on the new social web. I briefly mentioned this trip on the most recent Mastodon blog post update for our updates during March, but I’m now able to include more about the content here.

Here’s the video of our panel discussion, available on Flipboard’s PeerTube – or, on YouTube for those of you that are not yet Fediverse-enabled, or who want to watch on your TV or something 🙂 I hope I did an OK job, representing the good people of the different communities on the Fediverse. I know that my own experience and perspective is not a universal one and I do my best to reflect that when I talk about our spaces.

As well as this panel, the event included some fantastic talks from folks such as Molly White and Cory Doctorow (clips are on PeerTube); it gave me an opportunity to learn more about the ATProto ecosystem from chatting with the nice folks from Bluesky; I was able to meet writers from one of the best publications on the web today, 404 Media; and, it also provided a chance to spend time IRL with friends from the Fediverse – including the excellent Jeff Sikes, and also people I greatly respect and appreciate from WeDistribute, Sean and Damon.

Anyway… I still haven’t actually been to SXSW 😄

This year, I did something better than that. Thank you to the Flipboard team for all your work in putting Fediverse House together!

Bluesky is cancelling accounts when foreign governments ask them to, and Threads is doing adverts soon.

The thing to understand about the corporate public messaging systems is that they do not exist to let you publish or to talk to people. That is not the point of them. That's at best just the bait laid to lure you into their trap.

They exist to make money for the shareholders. That's why Threads exists, that's why Blockchain Inc invested to keep Bluesky running.

Only one network exists in order to let people communicate as the point and reason for it's existence. Only one network has no shareholders and no owners.

Only one is fighting for the user, not the shareholder.

ThreadsでFediverse連携を視野に入れた規約変更が行われることについて、「自分の投稿が勝手に他のSNSに流されるようになる!Xとかに流されちゃうかも!!」といった誤った解釈が拡散されてしまって大パニックになっている。それに対して見当違いな対応策が流されてたりともうめちゃくちゃな状況🤪
いやFediverse共有の存在すら知らない人は何も心配することないのにw

しかし今年に入ってThreadsのFediverse対応に全く進展が見られなくなったのでやる気なくしたのかなと思ってたが、一応進めるつもりはあるんだろうか🤔

Shoutout to @aral for suggesting I use "Accounts" instead of "Users" in the new FediDB!

It may seem like a trivial change, but it really conveys the federated nature of the Fediverse better.

One person can have multiple accounts across instances, and "Users" implies a centralized system.

Small language shifts like this help reinforce the decentralized ethos we're building.

I'm not sure if I get Pixelfeed.

I like the idea, but most content is just images from Mastodon, which are taken out of context and displayed in an image feed.

Don't you want to have something that is solely dedicated to images instead of shoving you everything with an attached image from Mastodon onto your feed?

We’ve just uploaded a bunch of clips from @davidimel's Fediverse Corner panel at the Fediverse House at SXSW 2025, featuring @evan, @mmasnick and @pcottle

We know the sound is super rough 😅 but many of these snippets deserve to be heard. Thanks for bearing with us.
They talk about:

- Solving the cold start problem
- Taking control back from billionaires
- The deal with Threads’ federation
- Keeping vibes sacred (and whole)

Shoutout to @aral for suggesting I use "Accounts" instead of "Users" in the new FediDB!

It may seem like a trivial change, but it really conveys the federated nature of the Fediverse better.

One person can have multiple accounts across instances, and "Users" implies a centralized system.

Small language shifts like this help reinforce the decentralized ethos we're building.

Ich bin dieses Vorurteil, Mastodon sei kompliziert, so leid. Warum lässt die @tazgetroete Menschen über soziale Netzwerke schreiben, die offensichtlich nur Bluesky kennen und all das loben, was im realisiert ist, bei Bluesky aber nur eine Willenserklärung darstellt?

Goodmorning and ! ☕️

Just a quick update: I still intend on continuing Fosstodon and taking over admin tasks from @kev and @mike, together with some volunteers (more help is always welcome!). I spoke with K&M yesterday, they're very supportive of this. We have a longer meeting planned later this week.

I was a mod here a few years ago, so I have some insight in how things work. I'd like to keep things as is. I hope everyone will stay a bit longer while we work this out! 😊

Goodmorning and ☕️ Another update!

I had a call with @kev and @mike yesterday. They took me through the admin workload and whoo. It's A LOT. It's seriously impressive how much they do in order to keep Fosstodon running, nice, and safe. They will stay on for a bit to help train successors. K&M THANK YOU again for all the hard work 👏👏👏

It's not going to be easy, and it will take a team, but it's doable. Immediately after this toot I'll post what I'll need and next steps! 1/2

@rimu@mastodon.nzoss.nz

just added a multi-reddit feature, which we're calling "Feeds". It combines multiple Communities (actors of type "Group" in ActivityPub) into one.

Feeds can be followed from other PieFed instances, which will subscribe the follower to all the communities in the feed.

Try it out at piefed.social/feeds

It's similar to PieFed's concept of a Topic piefed.social/topics, except topics are maintained by the instance admins. Feeds are crowdsourced and federated topics.

It references "The Protocol" a LOT. In this case, it has to be the Fediverse.

More interoperability coming soon?🤔

When do we get to start asking "Is it the year of the #Fediverse yet?" And I mean that in the kindest, most sincere way.

I know a lot of folks see the Linux motto of "Is it the year of Linux on the desktop?" as a joke. I see it as hope. I see it as we've all kept fighting and we got one more fighter. I see it as we KNOW we're gaining ground every single day and we'll do it tomorrow as well.

SO!

Has anyone YET said:

Is it the year of the Fediverse?

Fediverse Report #114 - This week's news:

- Drama around a Fosstodon moderator, leading to the admins of the Fosstodon server stepping down. I take a closer look on what this says about how instance selection works on the fediverse, and why this means more servers should have a federation policy
- NLnet announces their latest round of fundings, with a grant for Peertube and a new project build on top of Bonfire.

Just because 10 people on the Fediverse have certain norms, fashions, traditions, preferences, and politics does NOT make these the culture of the Fediverse.

Not even if it were 100 people.

Not even if it were 1,000 people.

Consider what 1,000 people on the Fediverse represent — they are about 0.005% to 0.006% of the Fediverse!

No matter how loud this microscopic group of people scream, they still do not represent the (entire) Fediverse.

Fediverse Report #114 - This week's news:

- Drama around a Fosstodon moderator, leading to the admins of the Fosstodon server stepping down. I take a closer look on what this says about how instance selection works on the fediverse, and why this means more servers should have a federation policy
- NLnet announces their latest round of fundings, with a grant for Peertube and a new project build on top of Bonfire.

Things we can learn from the recent fosstodon moderation happenings.

The takeaway of the whole incident shouldn't be,

"THIS IS WHY MODERATION IS BAD BECAUSE MODS ARE BASICALLY SMALLER VERSIONS OF CENSORSHIP PEOPLE!"

Nor should it be takes like, paraphrasing here, but,

"I had to examine my stance as a moderator, and really examine the kind of community I want to foster, so as a result of this examination, I've concluded that the Fediverse is absolutely no different from anywhere else on the web because people start drama and people are passionate about things."

Despite those eye rollingly dull takes, we can learn something!

There's a few things we can learn from the whole thing.

1. Notifications are important. For offline people, having to wake up to an instance defederation one day seemingly at random isn't a good user experience. Defederations should be an option for email notifications people can check or uncheck.

What Fediverse projects have these kinds of notifications?

While not an email notification, still, glad to see others discussing this! github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

2. In app notifications are important. For this, I'd have placeholders where your friends mentions and stuff are, not home timeline, that say, this instance has been blocked, or this instance has been defederated, or something.

Again, I'd love to know what projects already do this, if any.

I did find this issue though about this very thing! github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

3. Taking time to craft a meaningful statement would be better than sharing Mastodon post links, well, unless you have an instance with a character limit such as mine. Seriously, instances should be giant walls of text. I'm not joking! It's been proven, over and over again, that short threads are just a bad user experience waiting to happen, but I've long since learned that tech people don't like to make things easier on users so, let's keep chucking on people! I'm sure it will all work out if nothing changes, but moving on,

I haven't found a listing that lists these kinds of instances/communities. Anyone know of such a database?

4. More projects should start pointing to well ran community wiki's on their homepages or similar.

Community documentation is especially good for things that need quick updates and people need to know where exits are. If you don't want to maintain your own Fedi documentation, link to strong community wikis.

Along that same line, if you literally built a Fediverse thing, provide links to strong, non-technical, documentation of your thing! That shows passion, and it gives back. I haven't seen any project link to the @FediTips website on any official websites and they do fantastic documentation work.

My underrepresented Fedi resource find of the weak is actually this one! thefedi.wiki/

If I have more thoughts, I'll edit this post. I've already read 3 blog posts on the subject by privileged dudes that painted this whole issue as drama, and they aren't worth linking to, honestly! You can find them really easily by just reading the hashtag though.

Just because 10 people on the Fediverse have certain norms, fashions, traditions, preferences, and politics does NOT make these the culture of the Fediverse.

Not even if it were 100 people.

Not even if it were 1,000 people.

Consider what 1,000 people on the Fediverse represent — they are about 0.005% to 0.006% of the Fediverse!

No matter how loud this microscopic group of people scream, they still do not represent the (entire) Fediverse.

Goodmorning and ! ☕️

Just a quick update: I still intend on continuing Fosstodon and taking over admin tasks from @kev and @mike, together with some volunteers (more help is always welcome!). I spoke with K&M yesterday, they're very supportive of this. We have a longer meeting planned later this week.

I was a mod here a few years ago, so I have some insight in how things work. I'd like to keep things as is. I hope everyone will stay a bit longer while we work this out! 😊

It's nice to finally see @kev and @mike make statements about the drama that happened on however, the sad part is to see that they are both likely stepping away. They will either shut the instance down completely or possibly let others take it over to keep it alive.

Regardless, there will be a lot of people that will end up needing/wanting to find a new instance to call home, and that's not a fun experience here on the

With regards to them both stepping away, regardless of how it's done, I get it, totally.

I ran along with @beardedtechguy and while it was a ton of fun at times, it was indeed a LOT of work, and it was quite costly, even as a small server with only a couple hundred users. I can't imagine the work and the costs associated with a server that has nearly 10,000 users and is almost 8 years old.

I certainly wish Kevin and Mike both the best of luck in whatever decision they make and I hope all of those that decide to move to another instance or may end up being forced to move to another instance are able to move without much hassle or issues. This is definitely one place Mastodon needs to get much better at if it ever wants to be mainstream and truly successful in a larger fashion.

For anyone who wants to read those statements I mentioned in the beginning, you can do so via the links below.

that is a fact. some of the liberty loving nerds are just as much racist, sexist, agist assholes as the next guy out there, they just pick a different target for a different reason, but the same cruelty and selfishness show through.

For those of you on Fosstodon (UPDATED)

UPDATE, April 30: there are some encouraging changes happening at Fosstodon. That's good! So, I've updated this post accordingly -- and added a new reply about the Nazi bar analogy

Still, even though things are much more hopeful now than a week ago, it's still too early to know how things will work out. So here's a few thoughts for people who are on Fosstodon ...

1) let your new admins know what direction you want to see the instance moving in -- and, if you've got the time, consider offering to help!

2) if you're still considering potentially moving, now's a good time to start exploring. It really is hard to pick a compatible instance, and you'll want to take the time to scope things out. Don't feel like your next choice is necessarily your permanent new home -- you can always treat it as an interim and move again if necessary. Asking friends for recommendations is a great place to start but not bulletproof (would you have recommended fosstodon if somebody had asked you about it a month ago?) ...Resources for choosing the right fediverse instances has links to directories and instance catalogs that can help you find out more

3) You can set up new accounts on other instances without moving -- so this is a good way to explore. One option is to export the list of people you're following (on the Preferences / Import and Export tab ), and import it on your new account. Or, if you feel like you're following too many people, this can also be a good time to experiment -- either start from scratch, or edit the CSV file before importing. You'll probably also want to export-and-import your blocklists, mutelists, domain blocks, and lists if you have any. Unfortunately there isn't any way to export and import your filters, so you'll need to recreate those manually.

4) If you're planning on "migrating" your account, make sure to read Cutie City's guide to Migrating Servers and Erin Kissane's Notes From a Mastodon Migration first to avoid unpleaant surprises.

It really sucks that Mastodon migration doesn't let you move your posts, but things are getting better. Check out Posty and Slurp

5) if you're up for having your own instance, it's really worth checking out GoToSocial. My experience with gotosocial.thenexus.today: setup and configuration were straightforward and well-documented, and upgrades have been smooth. There are also hosted options available. And, Slurp works really well with GoToSocial! If you decide to stay on Fosstodon, you can either keep it around as a secondary account ... or just view it as an interesting experiment and delete it.

that is a fact. some of the liberty loving nerds are just as much racist, sexist, agist assholes as the next guy out there, they just pick a different target for a different reason, but the same cruelty and selfishness show through.

Convincing people and organizations to join the can be a frustrating undertaking.

A variation of the XKCD "standards" comic (https://xkcd.com/927/):

Title: "Digital sovereignty—How it's going?"

Panel 1: "Situation: The Fediverse exists"
Panel 2: "The US platforms have too much power! We need a European social media plattform!" "Yeah!"
Panel 3: "Situation: Follow us on Bluesky! (In addition to X, FB and Instagram)"

I'm exploring a new idea called FediOTP (codename): an authentication system that uses DMs to deliver one-time passwords, allowing any account to authenticate with web services. Unlike current solutions that rely on specific APIs (, ), this would work with any ActivityPub-compatible server, increasing interoperability across the fediverse. Would love to hear your thoughts on potential challenges or use cases for this approach.

“Why did you choose Mastodon and not Bluesky?” This is my answer to that question. It begins with a law from the turn of the millennium that was initially described as a failure, takes a path through domain names I've owned for nearly three decades, a need to test the winds, and ultimately lands on the fact that right now, I prioritize “decentralized” over “decentralizable” as a matter of principle.

So, I built a new #GoToSocial instance and have migrated back. A few things have brought me back since my last GoToSocial instance:

  • Editing of statuses. This is one of the big ones and it arrived in v0.18.0. In the past, I had to delete and repost -- a lot since I make a lot of mistakes. Being able to edit is a big thing.
  • MFA. More security is always best.
  • Ivory support. Nothing that the GoToSocial folks control, but @ivory finally got support for alphanumeric post ID's which means that I can finally use it with GoToSocial.

This is on top of previous things that I liked about GoToSocial:

  • Ease of maintenance. It's so easy to install, so easy to maintain and easy to backup.
  • Low system requirements. I can run it on a low cost VPS.
  • Pretty profile page. I really like the profile page layout on GoToSocial vs #Mastodon. The GoToSocial profile is clean and is completely focused on the person. The Mastodon profile is a bit messy with instance stuff in the left and right columns; and profile in the center.

There's some stuff I'm still looking forward on GoToSocial. The biggest one would be the ability to prune posts, both personal and for instance.

I know most people dislike AI on the Fediverse, but we really do need an AI on the Fediverse to deal with the spam problems.

I work for Meta, and do you think we spend all day, every day, removing spam?

NO. - We have an AI for that.

The only time I see spam is when someone appeals. You'd be surprised on how entitled people feel to post, junk. Beyond that, we mostly deal with normal junk, and spam is generally a low issue.

With the recent release of GoToSocial v0.19.0 it was time for an uprade.

https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/releases/tag/v0.19.0

I am running GTS as podman container behind Caddy which does SSL termination (and all the LetsEncrypt magic!). And the upgrade procedure from v0.18.3 was as smooth as can be:

I stopped the current container, made a backup from my sqlite.db, upgraded the tag in compose.yaml and restarted the whole thing:

podman stop gotosocial
cp data/sqlite.db backups/sqlite.db-20250427

vim compose.yaml
# change tag from 0.18.3 to 0.19.0, save, quit

podman-compose up -d
podman logs -f gotosocial

Since I am running a small single-user instance all DB migrations were finished within seconds and I was able to log into my new settings panel to finally revoke old OAuth tokens that I had issued to all kinds of clients when I was looking for a decent web client that satisfies my needs. For me, this is a self-hosted installation of phanpy.social (which also had a new release!).

Esp. with all the ambiguous discussion around moderators/defederation on my prior instance I am happy to be selfhosting for a few weeks. This made it easier to now set up an official account migration notice redirecting to this one here.

This is definitely another advantage of the fediverse: The decentralised nature makes it easy to move accounts from one instance to another, it's built into the protocol!

A big thanks to the @gotosocial team, @phanpy and everybody who makes the fediverse a nice place to be. You rock! <3

大家好, 现在已经决定开源了,欢迎大家查看代码提交 PR。

Fread 经历了两年多的开发,从开始到现在一直免费使用,之前由于没考虑好到底是付费下载还是免费所以闭源,仓库里也有很多敏感数据一直没法开源,现在主要功能都开发的差不多了,也是时候开源出来了。

虽然这种项目大部分都是业务代码,但是 Fread 还是有些独特之处的,首先使用的是 Kotlin Multiplatform 和 Compose Multiplatform 做跨平台,目前像 Fread 这么复杂的产品使用这样技术栈的其实很少,并且这是比较新的技术,这点 Fread 有很多参考意义。
另外 Fread 因为要兼容多个社交平台以及混合 Feeds,所以架构设计上下了点功夫,目前可以从架构上兼容这些短博客协议。

总之,虽然确实希望通过 Fread 赚钱,但我更希望自己开发了这么久的 App 有更多的人使用和喜欢。

For those of you on Fosstodon (UPDATED)

UPDATE, April 30: there are some encouraging changes happening at Fosstodon. That's good! So, I've updated this post accordingly -- and added a new reply about the Nazi bar analogy

Still, even though things are much more hopeful now than a week ago, it's still too early to know how things will work out. So here's a few thoughts for people who are on Fosstodon ...

1) let your new admins know what direction you want to see the instance moving in -- and, if you've got the time, consider offering to help!

2) if you're still considering potentially moving, now's a good time to start exploring. It really is hard to pick a compatible instance, and you'll want to take the time to scope things out. Don't feel like your next choice is necessarily your permanent new home -- you can always treat it as an interim and move again if necessary. Asking friends for recommendations is a great place to start but not bulletproof (would you have recommended fosstodon if somebody had asked you about it a month ago?) ...Resources for choosing the right fediverse instances has links to directories and instance catalogs that can help you find out more

3) You can set up new accounts on other instances without moving -- so this is a good way to explore. One option is to export the list of people you're following (on the Preferences / Import and Export tab ), and import it on your new account. Or, if you feel like you're following too many people, this can also be a good time to experiment -- either start from scratch, or edit the CSV file before importing. You'll probably also want to export-and-import your blocklists, mutelists, domain blocks, and lists if you have any. Unfortunately there isn't any way to export and import your filters, so you'll need to recreate those manually.

4) If you're planning on "migrating" your account, make sure to read Cutie City's guide to Migrating Servers and Erin Kissane's Notes From a Mastodon Migration first to avoid unpleaant surprises.

It really sucks that Mastodon migration doesn't let you move your posts, but things are getting better. Check out Posty and Slurp

5) if you're up for having your own instance, it's really worth checking out GoToSocial. My experience with gotosocial.thenexus.today: setup and configuration were straightforward and well-documented, and upgrades have been smooth. There are also hosted options available. And, Slurp works really well with GoToSocial! If you decide to stay on Fosstodon, you can either keep it around as a secondary account ... or just view it as an interesting experiment and delete it.

Fediverse Report – #113

When FediForum got cancelled a few weeks ago, I heard from multiple participants that they were planning to showcasing some new features or products that they’ve been working on. The sudden last-minute cancellation has caused uncertainty on how to proceed, and there has not been a new date set for FediForum (nor is it clear in what format it will continue, if any). However, by and large participants have decided not to showcase or present their work outside of FediForum. This shows the influential role that FediForum plays in the fediverse development ecosystem. It is important avenue for developers to showcase their work to the rest of the developer community, with no clear replacement for it. As such, the news for the fediverse is especially slow this week.

The News

Two papers on the fediverse came out recently: Labour pains: Content moderation challenges in Mastodon growth talks about the challenges that moderators face on fediverse instances. Leading the Mastodon Herd: Analysing the Traits of Influential Leaders on a Decentralised Social Media Platform finds a relation between negative sentiment and influence on the network.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

Fediverse Report – #113

When FediForum got cancelled a few weeks ago, I heard from multiple participants that they were planning to showcasing some new features or products that they’ve been working on. The sudden last-minute cancellation has caused uncertainty on how to proceed, and there has not been a new date set for FediForum (nor is it clear in what format it will continue, if any). However, by and large participants have decided not to showcase or present their work outside of FediForum. This shows the influential role that FediForum plays in the fediverse development ecosystem. It is important avenue for developers to showcase their work to the rest of the developer community, with no clear replacement for it. As such, the news for the fediverse is especially slow this week.

The News

Two papers on the fediverse came out recently: Labour pains: Content moderation challenges in Mastodon growth talks about the challenges that moderators face on fediverse instances. Leading the Mastodon Herd: Analysing the Traits of Influential Leaders on a Decentralised Social Media Platform finds a relation between negative sentiment and influence on the network.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

I'm exploring a new idea called FediOTP (codename): an authentication system that uses DMs to deliver one-time passwords, allowing any account to authenticate with web services. Unlike current solutions that rely on specific APIs (, ), this would work with any ActivityPub-compatible server, increasing interoperability across the fediverse. Would love to hear your thoughts on potential challenges or use cases for this approach.

For those skeptical of DMs in : I'm also considering an alternative verification approach using ActivityPub's Question feature. Instead of sending numeric codes, the system could send a poll with several emoji options, and the user would select the one that matches what's displayed on their login screen. This visual authentication method might offer better security against certain automated attacks while still leveraging federation rather than platform-specific APIs. Would this approach address some of the privacy concerns around DM-based verification?

🤔 Warum sind wir als Universität Innsbruck auf Mastodon?

Einige Gründe:

🔸 Digitale Souveränität: Wissenschaftskommunikation auf unabhängigen Plattformen
🔸 & Third Mission: Wissen frei zugänglich bereitstellen
🔸 Gesetzliche Regulierungen: datenschutzfreundlich kommunizieren
🔸 Öffentliche Vorreiterrolle: digitale Infrastruktur mitgestalten

In the spirit of: “Ask not what the Fediverse can do for you, but what you can do for the Fediverse” here are some initiatives I’ll be undertaking, starting next week:

1) Production of a 5 minute video about the Fediverse

I’m really lucky to have the help of two interns for this project: a video introducing the key benefits of the Fediverse to people not familiar with it.Our goal is to have the video ready by May 23rd, in time for my talk at a FOSS conference (more details about it coming soon).Naturally, I will release the video on my brand new self-hosted PeerTube instance (aka the Fediverse’s answer to YouTube).

2) A new blog series: “People of the Fediverse”

For the next two months I will be busy planning, shooting and editing videos… and won’t have time to sit down and write 2,000 word, deep dives of Fediverse software for The Future is Federated. So, I had an idea: how about doing written interviews with fascinating people on the Fediverse, showcasing the interesting ways they communicate on it and the initiatives they’re spearheading? This project would allow readers to discover new interesting people to follow on the Fediverse – or to get to know better people they are already familiar with. And on my end, I could use the same blueprint for the interviews – and thus save a lot of time writing. Win/win!

3) Stock video: a collection of motion graphics animations showing Fediverse software

Earlier this year I created a Fediverse “stock photo” that journalists and bloggers could use to illustrate articles about the Fediverse… since most articles on the topic showed mobile phones with apps by Big Tech.Well, since I will be already creating motion graphics animations for my Fediverse videos, I thought: I could release these on my PeerTube instance and add a special Creative Commons license that would allow anyone to download and re-use my clips. I’ve noticed how online creators who talk about the Fediverse often use still images from websites… and well, my gift to the Fediverse could be cool motion graphics animations that look a little more polished and sophisticated.Hopefully when my little one will be a teenager, I will have stuff to show her: “Look at what mommy did to fight against Big Tech.” I’m trying my best, I really am.If you have any other ideas about how I could help the Fediverse – as a creative person – I’m all ears. And if you’re doing something similar, please let me know how I can support your initiatives.Thanks for being here,Elena

そもそも、分散化という意味では :mastodon: を比べるんじゃなくて、 :fediverse: をくらべるべきなのではという気もする。 の比較といったほうが良いかも。

:mastodon: の半分が最もメジャーなサーバー以外のサーバーに分散しているということは、 :fediverse: という単位でみたらもっと多くの割合が分散しているということになるはず :mastodon_mascot:

I’m still working hard on FediDB, and while I do have more important tasks to work on, I need to wrap this massive FediDB refactor up so I can focus on Pixelfed and Loops again.

I haven’t really touched FediDB this much since 2021, and it’s a valuable fediverse resource.

Aiming to launch the new frontend shortly!

@botkit@hollo.social

BotKit 0.2.0 Released

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, is a framework for creating standalone bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.

The Journey to Better Bot Interactions

In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.

Expressing Your Bot's Personality with Custom Emojis

One of the most requested features has been support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.

// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);

With this new API, you can:

Engaging Through Reactions

Communication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:

// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

  • Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
  • Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

  • More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
  • Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Looking Forward

BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

For complete docs and more examples, visit our docs site.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release through feedback, feature requests, and code contributions. The BotKit community continues to grow, and we're excited to see what you'll create!


BotKit is powered by Fedify, a lower-level framework for creating ActivityPub server applications.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.

I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.

(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

Bluesky is cancelling accounts when foreign governments ask them to, and Threads is doing adverts soon.

The thing to understand about the corporate public messaging systems is that they do not exist to let you publish or to talk to people. That is not the point of them. That's at best just the bait laid to lure you into their trap.

They exist to make money for the shareholders. That's why Threads exists, that's why Blockchain Inc invested to keep Bluesky running.

Only one network exists in order to let people communicate as the point and reason for it's existence. Only one network has no shareholders and no owners.

Only one is fighting for the user, not the shareholder.

You can now embed any Fediverse post in the WordPress editor—even if it doesn’t support oEmbed! When no oEmbed handler is available, we automatically fall back to our custom embed view.

Basically: if it’s on the Fediverse, you can embed it. ✨

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました!BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース()のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。

このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。

より良いボットインタラクションへの旅

BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。

カスタム絵文字でボットの個性を表現

最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。

// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);

この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。

リアクションによるコミュニケーション

コミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。

// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
  • 定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理

引用による会話

議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。

// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
  text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用
  • Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセス
  • 新しいBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理

視覚的な改善

コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。

  • ウェブインターフェースで画像添付ファイルが正しく表示されるようになりました
  • ボットのコンテンツがより見やすくなり、豊かな体験を提供します

内部改善:活動の伝播の強化

フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。

  • 返信、共有、更新、削除のより正確な伝播
  • 元のメッセージ作成者に活動が適切に送信されます

これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。

BotKit 0.2.0で最初の一歩を踏み出す

これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか?BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKitはTemporal API(JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能)を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。

今後の展望

0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。

完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。

フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています!

BotKit 0.2.0 릴리스

BotKit 0.2.0 버전이 릴리스되었습니다! BotKit을 처음 접하시는 분들을 위해 간단히 소개하자면, BotKit은 TypeScript로 개발된 독립형 봇 프레임워크입니다. Mastodon, Misskey 등 다양한 () 플랫폼과 상호작용할 수 있으며, 기존 플랫폼의 제약에서 벗어나 자유롭게 봇을 만들 수 있습니다.

이번 릴리스는 연합우주 봇 개발을 더 쉽고 강력하게 만들기 위한 여정에서 중요한 발걸음입니다. 커뮤니티에서 요청해 왔던 여러 기능들을 새롭게 선보입니다.

더 나은 봇 상호작용을 위한 여정

BotKit을 개발하면서 우리는 항상 봇이 더 표현력 있고 상호작용이 풍부하도록 만드는 데 집중해 왔습니다. 0.2.0 버전에서는 연합우주의 사회적 측면을 봇에 접목시켜 한 단계 더 발전시켰습니다.

커스텀 에모지로 봇의 개성 표현하기

가장 많이 요청받았던 기능 중 하나가 지원입니다. 이제 봇은 독특한 시각적 요소로 메시지를 돋보이게 하며 자신만의 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다.

// 봇의 커스텀 에모지 정의하기
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// 메시지에 커스텀 에모지 사용하기
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}은 Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}의 지원을 받습니다`
);

이 새로운 API를 통해 다음과 같은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다.

반응을 통한 소통

소통은 단순히 메시지를 게시하는 것만이 아닙니다. 다른 사람의 메시지에 반응하는 것도 중요합니다. 새로운 반응 시스템은 봇과 팔로워 사이에 자연스러운 상호작용 지점을 만들어 줍니다.

// 표준 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// 또는 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// 반응을 인식하고 응답하는 봇 만들기
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}님, 제 메시지에 ${reaction.emoji} 반응을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

이 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

  • Message.react()를 사용하여 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
  • 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreact 핸들러로 반응 이벤트 처리하기

인용을 통한 대화

토론에서는 종종 다른 사람이 말한 내용을 참조해야 할 때가 있습니다. 새로운 기능은 더 응집력 있는 대화 스레드를 만들어 줍니다.

// 봇의 게시물에서 다른 메시지 인용하기
await session.publish(
  text`이 흥미로운 관점에 대한 답변입니다...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// 사용자가 봇의 메시지를 인용할 때 처리하기
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}님, 제 생각을 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

인용 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

시각적 개선

소통은 시각적인 요소도 중요하기 때문에 봇의 표현 방식을 개선했습니다.

  • 웹 인터페이스에서 이미지 첨부파일이 제대로 표시됩니다
  • 봇의 콘텐츠가 더 보기 좋아지고 풍부한 경험을 제공합니다

내부 개선: 향상된 액티비티 전파

연합우주에서 액티비티가 전파되는 방식도 개선했습니다.

  • 답글, 공유, 업데이트, 삭제의 더 정확한 전파
  • 원본 메시지 작성자에게 액티비티가 제대로 전송됩니다

이러한 개선 사항은 다양한 연합우주 플랫폼에서 봇의 상호작용이 일관되고 안정적으로 이루어지도록 보장합니다.

BotKit 0.2.0으로 첫 걸음 떼기

이러한 새로운 기능을 경험해 보고 싶으신가요? BotKit 0.2.0은 JSR에서 받을 수 있으며 간단한 명령어로 설치할 수 있습니다.

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKit은 Temporal API(JavaScript에서 아직 시범적인 기능)를 사용하므로 deno.json에서 이를 활성화해야 합니다.

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

이 간단한 단계를 통해 최신 기능으로 연합우주 봇을 만들거나 업그레이드할 준비가 완료되었습니다.

앞으로의 전망

BotKit 0.2.0은 연합우주 봇 개발을 접근하기 쉽고, 강력하며, 즐겁게 만들기 위한 우리의 지속적인 노력을 보여줍니다. 이러한 새로운 기능들이 여러분의 봇이 연합우주 커뮤니티에서 더 매력적이고 상호작용이 풍부한 구성원이 되는 데 도움이 될 것이라고 믿습니다.

전체 문서와 더 많은 예제는 저희 문서 사이트에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.

피드백, 기능 요청, 코드 기여를 통해 이번 릴리스에 도움을 주신 모든 분들께 감사드립니다. BotKit 커뮤니티는 계속 성장하고 있으며, 여러분이 만들어낼 작품들을 기대합니다!


BotKit은 ActivityPub 서버 애플리케이션을 만들기 위한 하위 레벨 프레임워크인 Fedify의 지원을 받습니다.

BotKit 0.2.0 Released

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, is a framework for creating standalone bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.

The Journey to Better Bot Interactions

In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.

Expressing Your Bot's Personality with Custom Emojis

One of the most requested features has been support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.

// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);

With this new API, you can:

Engaging Through Reactions

Communication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:

// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

  • Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
  • Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

  • More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
  • Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Looking Forward

BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release through feedback, feature requests, and code contributions. The BotKit community continues to grow, and we're excited to see what you'll create!


BotKit is powered by Fedify, a lower-level framework for creating ActivityPub server applications.

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.

I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.

(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

While conflicts among humans in the real world might be set aside in the face of an extraterrestrial invasion, leading to cooperation, the ongoing rivalry between and users seems unending. Perhaps X’s decentralized protocol could be the key to ending this perpetual discord.

“We're facing an existential threat. We need a web that serves people not profit, a web built on protocols, not platforms…It's being built right now by people like you in communities like this one.”

Thank you, developers and denizens of the open social web.🙏🏼

I've currently been doing a tonne of work on Doorkeeper, a Mastodon dependency for OAuth, and currently that work is mostly uncompensated.

I'm also doing a reasonable amount of work on the standards side (W3C & IETF), which is also uncompensated.

I'm not making ends meet at the moment, so if you can spare €5-10 a month, please do consider supporting my work on Mastodon, Doorkeeper, standards, and the wider Fediverse.

I'm currently running a deficit of about €1000-1600 per month, which is completely unsustainable.

(there's also one-time, but ongoing support is what enables me to do this important work)

Fediverse Report – #113

When FediForum got cancelled a few weeks ago, I heard from multiple participants that they were planning to showcasing some new features or products that they’ve been working on. The sudden last-minute cancellation has caused uncertainty on how to proceed, and there has not been a new date set for FediForum (nor is it clear in what format it will continue, if any). However, by and large participants have decided not to showcase or present their work outside of FediForum. This shows the influential role that FediForum plays in the fediverse development ecosystem. It is important avenue for developers to showcase their work to the rest of the developer community, with no clear replacement for it. As such, the news for the fediverse is especially slow this week.

The News

Two papers on the fediverse came out recently: Labour pains: Content moderation challenges in Mastodon growth talks about the challenges that moderators face on fediverse instances. Leading the Mastodon Herd: Analysing the Traits of Influential Leaders on a Decentralised Social Media Platform finds a relation between negative sentiment and influence on the network.

That’s all for this week, thanks for reading! You can subscribe to my newsletter to get all my weekly updates via email, which gets you some interesting extra analysis as a bonus, that is not posted here on the website. You can subscribe below:

@thenexusofprivacy@infosec.exchange

The fedi discourse on Bluesky's verification is very frustrating Don't et me wrong, there's a lot to critique with Bluesky's approach of combining their own platform-level verification with initially annointing a handful of third-party verifiers:

To be fair, I am seeing a bit of discussion of some of these issues here. But I'm not seeing anything about consent, or community moderation, or equity. Instead, the vast majority of what I'm seeing is people saying hat the approach of external verifiers (run by entities other than Bluesky) and the Bluesky app attaching privileged semantics to the annointed ones isn't "decentraized."

Is that really the important thing here?

As someone who has developed several software implementations (Fedify, Hollo, BotKit, and Hackers' Pub), I believe one of the most frustrating features to implement in the is .

The challenges are numerous:

First, there's no standardization. ActivityPub specifications don't define how custom emoji should work, leading to inconsistent implementations across different servers like Mastodon and Misskey.

Rendering is particularly problematic. Emojis must display properly across different contexts (in text, as reactions, in emoji pickers) while maintaining quality at various sizes. Animated emojis add another layer of complexity.

Perhaps most concerning is the poor . Most implementations simply use the emoji code (like :party_blob:) as the alt text, which provides no meaningful information to screen reader users (in particular, non-English speakers) about what the emoji actually depicts or means.

What really dampens my motivation to implement this feature is knowing I'm investing significant effort into something that ultimately creates accessibility barriers. It's disheartening to work hard on a feature that excludes part of the community.

BotKit 0.2.0のリリース

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました!BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース()のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。

このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。

より良いボットインタラクションへの旅

BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。

カスタム絵文字でボットの個性を表現

最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。

// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);

この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。

リアクションによるコミュニケーション

コミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。

// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
  • 定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理

引用による会話

議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。

// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
  text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用
  • Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセス
  • 新しいBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理

視覚的な改善

コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。

  • ウェブインターフェースで画像添付ファイルが正しく表示されるようになりました
  • ボットのコンテンツがより見やすくなり、豊かな体験を提供します

内部改善:活動の伝播の強化

フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。

  • 返信、共有、更新、削除のより正確な伝播
  • 元のメッセージ作成者に活動が適切に送信されます

これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。

BotKit 0.2.0で最初の一歩を踏み出す

これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか?BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKitはTemporal API(JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能)を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。

今後の展望

0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。

完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。

フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています!


BotKitは、ActivityPubサーバーアプリケーションを作成するための低レベルフレームワークFedifyによって支えられています。

  • 元のメッセージ作成者に活動が適切に送信されます

これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。

BotKit 0.2.0で最初の一歩を踏み出す

これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか?BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKitはTemporal API(JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能)を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。

今後の展望

0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。

完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。

フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています!

As someone who has developed several software implementations (Fedify, Hollo, BotKit, and Hackers' Pub), I believe one of the most frustrating features to implement in the is .

The challenges are numerous:

First, there's no standardization. ActivityPub specifications don't define how custom emoji should work, leading to inconsistent implementations across different servers like Mastodon and Misskey.

Rendering is particularly problematic. Emojis must display properly across different contexts (in text, as reactions, in emoji pickers) while maintaining quality at various sizes. Animated emojis add another layer of complexity.

Perhaps most concerning is the poor . Most implementations simply use the emoji code (like :party_blob:) as the alt text, which provides no meaningful information to screen reader users (in particular, non-English speakers) about what the emoji actually depicts or means.

What really dampens my motivation to implement this feature is knowing I'm investing significant effort into something that ultimately creates accessibility barriers. It's disheartening to work hard on a feature that excludes part of the community.

A HEALTH-CHECK URL would, for example, make sure:

• the web-server is up,
• the database connection is fine,
• maybe query one or more important tables to make sure that still works,
• make sure any 3rd party APIs are working,
• etc.

If any of those things has a problem, then it would return "500 Internal Server Error".

Else (if everything was fine then) it would return "200 OK".

A lot of Fediverse software has a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

But not all Fediverse does.

It would be better if ALL Fediverse software had a HEALTH-CHECK URL.

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is a special URL that tell others if the system is running properly.

It would return "200 OK" if everything is fine. And return "500 Internal Server Error" if there is a problem

...

A HEALTH-CHECK URL is important to those who actual run and administrate Fediverse servers

BotKit 0.2.0 Released

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, is a framework for creating standalone bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.

The Journey to Better Bot Interactions

In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.

Expressing Your Bot's Personality with Custom Emojis

One of the most requested features has been support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.

// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);

With this new API, you can:

Engaging Through Reactions

Communication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:

// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

  • Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
  • Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

  • More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
  • Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Looking Forward

BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this release through feedback, feature requests, and code contributions. The BotKit community continues to grow, and we're excited to see what you'll create!

// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

  • Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
  • Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

  • More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
  • Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Looking Forward

BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

BotKit 0.2.0のリリース

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました!BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース()のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。

このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。

より良いボットインタラクションへの旅

BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。

カスタム絵文字でボットの個性を表現

最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。

// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);

この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。

リアクションによるコミュニケーション

コミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。

// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
  • 定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理

引用による会話

議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。

// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
  text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用
  • Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセス
  • 新しいBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理

視覚的な改善

コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。

  • ウェブインターフェースで画像添付ファイルが正しく表示されるようになりました
  • ボットのコンテンツがより見やすくなり、豊かな体験を提供します

内部改善:活動の伝播の強化

フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。

  • 返信、共有、更新、削除のより正確な伝播
  • 元のメッセージ作成者に活動が適切に送信されます

これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。

BotKit 0.2.0で最初の一歩を踏み出す

これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか?BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKitはTemporal API(JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能)を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。

今後の展望

0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。

完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。

フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています!

BotKit 0.2.0 릴리스

BotKit 0.2.0 버전이 릴리스되었습니다! BotKit을 처음 접하시는 분들을 위해 간단히 소개하자면, BotKit은 TypeScript로 개발된 독립형 봇 프레임워크입니다. Mastodon, Misskey 등 다양한 () 플랫폼과 상호작용할 수 있으며, 기존 플랫폼의 제약에서 벗어나 자유롭게 봇을 만들 수 있습니다.

이번 릴리스는 연합우주 봇 개발을 더 쉽고 강력하게 만들기 위한 여정에서 중요한 발걸음입니다. 커뮤니티에서 요청해 왔던 여러 기능들을 새롭게 선보입니다.

더 나은 봇 상호작용을 위한 여정

BotKit을 개발하면서 우리는 항상 봇이 더 표현력 있고 상호작용이 풍부하도록 만드는 데 집중해 왔습니다. 0.2.0 버전에서는 연합우주의 사회적 측면을 봇에 접목시켜 한 단계 더 발전시켰습니다.

커스텀 에모지로 봇의 개성 표현하기

가장 많이 요청받았던 기능 중 하나가 지원입니다. 이제 봇은 독특한 시각적 요소로 메시지를 돋보이게 하며 자신만의 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다.

// 봇의 커스텀 에모지 정의하기
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// 메시지에 커스텀 에모지 사용하기
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}은 Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}의 지원을 받습니다`
);

이 새로운 API를 통해 다음과 같은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다.

반응을 통한 소통

소통은 단순히 메시지를 게시하는 것만이 아닙니다. 다른 사람의 메시지에 반응하는 것도 중요합니다. 새로운 반응 시스템은 봇과 팔로워 사이에 자연스러운 상호작용 지점을 만들어 줍니다.

// 표준 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// 또는 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// 반응을 인식하고 응답하는 봇 만들기
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}님, 제 메시지에 ${reaction.emoji} 반응을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

이 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

  • Message.react()를 사용하여 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
  • 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreact 핸들러로 반응 이벤트 처리하기

인용을 통한 대화

토론에서는 종종 다른 사람이 말한 내용을 참조해야 할 때가 있습니다. 새로운 기능은 더 응집력 있는 대화 스레드를 만들어 줍니다.

// 봇의 게시물에서 다른 메시지 인용하기
await session.publish(
  text`이 흥미로운 관점에 대한 답변입니다...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// 사용자가 봇의 메시지를 인용할 때 처리하기
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}님, 제 생각을 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

인용 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

시각적 개선

소통은 시각적인 요소도 중요하기 때문에 봇의 표현 방식을 개선했습니다.

  • 웹 인터페이스에서 이미지 첨부파일이 제대로 표시됩니다
  • 봇의 콘텐츠가 더 보기 좋아지고 풍부한 경험을 제공합니다

내부 개선: 향상된 액티비티 전파

연합우주에서 액티비티가 전파되는 방식도 개선했습니다.

  • 답글, 공유, 업데이트, 삭제의 더 정확한 전파
  • 원본 메시지 작성자에게 액티비티가 제대로 전송됩니다

이러한 개선 사항은 다양한 연합우주 플랫폼에서 봇의 상호작용이 일관되고 안정적으로 이루어지도록 보장합니다.

BotKit 0.2.0으로 첫 걸음 떼기

이러한 새로운 기능을 경험해 보고 싶으신가요? BotKit 0.2.0은 JSR에서 받을 수 있으며 간단한 명령어로 설치할 수 있습니다.

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKit은 Temporal API(JavaScript에서 아직 시범적인 기능)를 사용하므로 deno.json에서 이를 활성화해야 합니다.

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

이 간단한 단계를 통해 최신 기능으로 연합우주 봇을 만들거나 업그레이드할 준비가 완료되었습니다.

앞으로의 전망

BotKit 0.2.0은 연합우주 봇 개발을 접근하기 쉽고, 강력하며, 즐겁게 만들기 위한 우리의 지속적인 노력을 보여줍니다. 이러한 새로운 기능들이 여러분의 봇이 연합우주 커뮤니티에서 더 매력적이고 상호작용이 풍부한 구성원이 되는 데 도움이 될 것이라고 믿습니다.

BotKit 0.2.0 Released

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, is a framework for creating standalone bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.

The Journey to Better Bot Interactions

In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.

Expressing Your Bot's Personality with Custom Emojis

One of the most requested features has been support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.

// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);

With this new API, you can:

Engaging Through Reactions

Communication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:

// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

  • Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
  • Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

  • More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
  • Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Looking Forward

BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

Mal ne Frage ans

Zum Thema Hörbuch.

Bislang habe ich es gemieden, mir Dinge einzuverleiben, die sich Bücher nennen und nicht aus Papier sind.

Was ich nicht will,

Einen extra Reader.
An einen Anbieter gebunden sein.

Was ich möchte,
Querbeet Hörbucher von verschiedenen Anbietern und auch aus Bibliotheken lesen können.

Einen zentralen Speicherplatz, der auch offline oder im Flugmodus funktioniert.

Am besten kostenfreier Reader.

Habt ihr ein paar Tipps für mich.

Bin gespannt

BotKit 0.2.0のリリース

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました!BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース()のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。

このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。

より良いボットインタラクションへの旅

BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。

カスタム絵文字でボットの個性を表現

最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。

// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);

この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。

リアクションによるコミュニケーション

コミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。

// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
  • 定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理

引用による会話

議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。

// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
  text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用
  • Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセス
  • 新しいBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理

視覚的な改善

コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。

  • ウェブインターフェースで画像添付ファイルが正しく表示されるようになりました
  • ボットのコンテンツがより見やすくなり、豊かな体験を提供します

内部改善:活動の伝播の強化

フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。

  • 返信、共有、更新、削除のより正確な伝播
  • 元のメッセージ作成者に活動が適切に送信されます

これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。

BotKit 0.2.0で最初の一歩を踏み出す

これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか?BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKitはTemporal API(JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能)を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。

今後の展望

0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。

完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。

フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています!

BotKit 0.2.0 릴리스

BotKit 0.2.0 버전이 릴리스되었습니다! BotKit을 처음 접하시는 분들을 위해 간단히 소개하자면, BotKit은 TypeScript로 개발된 독립형 봇 프레임워크입니다. Mastodon, Misskey 등 다양한 () 플랫폼과 상호작용할 수 있으며, 기존 플랫폼의 제약에서 벗어나 자유롭게 봇을 만들 수 있습니다.

이번 릴리스는 연합우주 봇 개발을 더 쉽고 강력하게 만들기 위한 여정에서 중요한 발걸음입니다. 커뮤니티에서 요청해 왔던 여러 기능들을 새롭게 선보입니다.

더 나은 봇 상호작용을 위한 여정

BotKit을 개발하면서 우리는 항상 봇이 더 표현력 있고 상호작용이 풍부하도록 만드는 데 집중해 왔습니다. 0.2.0 버전에서는 연합우주의 사회적 측면을 봇에 접목시켜 한 단계 더 발전시켰습니다.

커스텀 에모지로 봇의 개성 표현하기

가장 많이 요청받았던 기능 중 하나가 지원입니다. 이제 봇은 독특한 시각적 요소로 메시지를 돋보이게 하며 자신만의 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다.

// 봇의 커스텀 에모지 정의하기
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// 메시지에 커스텀 에모지 사용하기
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}은 Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}의 지원을 받습니다`
);

이 새로운 API를 통해 다음과 같은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다.

반응을 통한 소통

소통은 단순히 메시지를 게시하는 것만이 아닙니다. 다른 사람의 메시지에 반응하는 것도 중요합니다. 새로운 반응 시스템은 봇과 팔로워 사이에 자연스러운 상호작용 지점을 만들어 줍니다.

// 표준 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// 또는 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// 반응을 인식하고 응답하는 봇 만들기
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}님, 제 메시지에 ${reaction.emoji} 반응을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

이 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

  • Message.react()를 사용하여 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
  • 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreact 핸들러로 반응 이벤트 처리하기

인용을 통한 대화

토론에서는 종종 다른 사람이 말한 내용을 참조해야 할 때가 있습니다. 새로운 기능은 더 응집력 있는 대화 스레드를 만들어 줍니다.

// 봇의 게시물에서 다른 메시지 인용하기
await session.publish(
  text`이 흥미로운 관점에 대한 답변입니다...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// 사용자가 봇의 메시지를 인용할 때 처리하기
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}님, 제 생각을 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

인용 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

시각적 개선

소통은 시각적인 요소도 중요하기 때문에 봇의 표현 방식을 개선했습니다.

  • 웹 인터페이스에서 이미지 첨부파일이 제대로 표시됩니다
  • 봇의 콘텐츠가 더 보기 좋아지고 풍부한 경험을 제공합니다

내부 개선: 향상된 액티비티 전파

연합우주에서 액티비티가 전파되는 방식도 개선했습니다.

  • 답글, 공유, 업데이트, 삭제의 더 정확한 전파
  • 원본 메시지 작성자에게 액티비티가 제대로 전송됩니다

이러한 개선 사항은 다양한 연합우주 플랫폼에서 봇의 상호작용이 일관되고 안정적으로 이루어지도록 보장합니다.

BotKit 0.2.0으로 첫 걸음 떼기

이러한 새로운 기능을 경험해 보고 싶으신가요? BotKit 0.2.0은 JSR에서 받을 수 있으며 간단한 명령어로 설치할 수 있습니다.

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

이 간단한 단계를 통해 최신 기능으로 연합우주 봇을 만들거나 업그레이드할 준비가 완료되었습니다.

앞으로의 전망

BotKit 0.2.0은 연합우주 봇 개발을 접근하기 쉽고, 강력하며, 즐겁게 만들기 위한 우리의 지속적인 노력을 보여줍니다. 이러한 새로운 기능들이 여러분의 봇이 연합우주 커뮤니티에서 더 매력적이고 상호작용이 풍부한 구성원이 되는 데 도움이 될 것이라고 믿습니다.

전체 문서와 더 많은 예제는 저희 문서 사이트에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.

피드백, 기능 요청, 코드 기여를 통해 이번 릴리스에 도움을 주신 모든 분들께 감사드립니다. BotKit 커뮤니티는 계속 성장하고 있으며, 여러분이 만들어낼 작품들을 기대합니다!

最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。

// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);

この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。

リアクションによるコミュニケーション

コミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。

// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
  • 定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理

引用による会話

議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。

// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
  text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用
  • Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセス
  • 新しいBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理

視覚的な改善

コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。

  • ウェブインターフェースで画像添付ファイルが正しく表示されるようになりました
  • ボットのコンテンツがより見やすくなり、豊かな体験を提供します

内部改善:活動の伝播の強化

フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。

  • 返信、共有、更新、削除のより正確な伝播
  • 元のメッセージ作成者に活動が適切に送信されます

これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。

BotKit 0.2.0で最初の一歩を踏み出す

これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか?BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKitはTemporal API(JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能)を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。

今後の展望

0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。

BotKit 0.2.0 Released

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, is a framework for creating standalone bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.

The Journey to Better Bot Interactions

In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.

Expressing Your Bot's Personality with Custom Emojis

One of the most requested features has been support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.

// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);

With this new API, you can:

Engaging Through Reactions

Communication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:

// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

  • Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
  • Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

  • More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
  • Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Looking Forward

BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

BotKit 0.2.0 릴리스

BotKit 0.2.0 버전이 릴리스되었습니다! BotKit을 처음 접하시는 분들을 위해 간단히 소개하자면, BotKit은 TypeScript로 개발된 독립형 봇 프레임워크입니다. Mastodon, Misskey 등 다양한 () 플랫폼과 상호작용할 수 있으며, 기존 플랫폼의 제약에서 벗어나 자유롭게 봇을 만들 수 있습니다.

이번 릴리스는 연합우주 봇 개발을 더 쉽고 강력하게 만들기 위한 여정에서 중요한 발걸음입니다. 커뮤니티에서 요청해 왔던 여러 기능들을 새롭게 선보입니다.

더 나은 봇 상호작용을 위한 여정

BotKit을 개발하면서 우리는 항상 봇이 더 표현력 있고 상호작용이 풍부하도록 만드는 데 집중해 왔습니다. 0.2.0 버전에서는 연합우주의 사회적 측면을 봇에 접목시켜 한 단계 더 발전시켰습니다.

커스텀 에모지로 봇의 개성 표현하기

가장 많이 요청받았던 기능 중 하나가 지원입니다. 이제 봇은 독특한 시각적 요소로 메시지를 돋보이게 하며 자신만의 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다.

// 봇의 커스텀 에모지 정의하기
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// 메시지에 커스텀 에모지 사용하기
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}은 Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}의 지원을 받습니다`
);

이 새로운 API를 통해 다음과 같은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다.

반응을 통한 소통

소통은 단순히 메시지를 게시하는 것만이 아닙니다. 다른 사람의 메시지에 반응하는 것도 중요합니다. 새로운 반응 시스템은 봇과 팔로워 사이에 자연스러운 상호작용 지점을 만들어 줍니다.

// 표준 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// 또는 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// 반응을 인식하고 응답하는 봇 만들기
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}님, 제 메시지에 ${reaction.emoji} 반응을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

이 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

  • Message.react()를 사용하여 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
  • 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreact 핸들러로 반응 이벤트 처리하기

인용을 통한 대화

토론에서는 종종 다른 사람이 말한 내용을 참조해야 할 때가 있습니다. 새로운 기능은 더 응집력 있는 대화 스레드를 만들어 줍니다.

// 봇의 게시물에서 다른 메시지 인용하기
await session.publish(
  text`이 흥미로운 관점에 대한 답변입니다...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// 사용자가 봇의 메시지를 인용할 때 처리하기
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}님, 제 생각을 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

인용 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

시각적 개선

소통은 시각적인 요소도 중요하기 때문에 봇의 표현 방식을 개선했습니다.

  • 웹 인터페이스에서 이미지 첨부파일이 제대로 표시됩니다
  • 봇의 콘텐츠가 더 보기 좋아지고 풍부한 경험을 제공합니다

내부 개선: 향상된 액티비티 전파

연합우주에서 액티비티가 전파되는 방식도 개선했습니다.

  • 답글, 공유, 업데이트, 삭제의 더 정확한 전파
  • 원본 메시지 작성자에게 액티비티가 제대로 전송됩니다

이러한 개선 사항은 다양한 연합우주 플랫폼에서 봇의 상호작용이 일관되고 안정적으로 이루어지도록 보장합니다.

BotKit 0.2.0으로 첫 걸음 떼기

이러한 새로운 기능을 경험해 보고 싶으신가요? BotKit 0.2.0은 JSR에서 받을 수 있으며 간단한 명령어로 설치할 수 있습니다.

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKit은 Temporal API(JavaScript에서 아직 시범적인 기능)를 사용하므로 deno.json에서 이를 활성화해야 합니다.

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

이 간단한 단계를 통해 최신 기능으로 연합우주 봇을 만들거나 업그레이드할 준비가 완료되었습니다.

앞으로의 전망

BotKit 0.2.0은 연합우주 봇 개발을 접근하기 쉽고, 강력하며, 즐겁게 만들기 위한 우리의 지속적인 노력을 보여줍니다. 이러한 새로운 기능들이 여러분의 봇이 연합우주 커뮤니티에서 더 매력적이고 상호작용이 풍부한 구성원이 되는 데 도움이 될 것이라고 믿습니다.

전체 문서와 더 많은 예제는 저희 문서 사이트에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.

피드백, 기능 요청, 코드 기여를 통해 이번 릴리스에 도움을 주신 모든 분들께 감사드립니다. BotKit 커뮤니티는 계속 성장하고 있으며, 여러분이 만들어낼 작품들을 기대합니다!

One of the most requested features has been support. Now your bots can truly express their personality with unique visuals that make their messages stand out.

// Define custom emojis for your bot
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);

With this new API, you can:

Engaging Through Reactions

Communication isn't just about posting messages—it's also about responding to others. The new reaction system creates natural interaction points between your bot and its followers:

// React to a message with a standard Unicode emoji
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// Or use one of your custom emojis as a reaction
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// Create a responsive bot that acknowledges reactions
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

  • Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
  • Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

  • More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
  • Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Taking Your First Steps with BotKit 0.2.0

Ready to experience these new features? BotKit 0.2.0 is available on JSR and can be installed with a simple command:

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

Since BotKit uses the Temporal API (which is still evolving in JavaScript), remember to enable it in your deno.json:

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

With these simple steps, you're ready to create or upgrade your fediverse bot with our latest features.

Looking Forward

BotKit 0.2.0 represents our ongoing commitment to making fediverse bot development accessible, powerful, and enjoyable. We believe these new features will help your bots become more engaging and interactive members of the fediverse community.

BotKit 0.2.0のリリース

BotKit 0.2.0をリリースしました!BotKitを初めて知る方のために簡単に説明すると、BotKitはTypeScriptで開発されたスタンドアロンのActivityPubボットフレームワークです。Mastodon、Misskeyなどさまざまなフェディバース()のプラットフォームと連携でき、既存プラットフォームの制約なしに自由にボットを作成できます。

このリリースは、フェディバースにおけるボット開発をより簡単で強力にするための旅の重要な一歩であり、コミュニティから要望のあった機能を多数導入しています。

より良いボットインタラクションへの旅

BotKitの開発において、私たちは常にボットをより表現力豊かでインタラクティブにすることに焦点を当ててきました。バージョン0.2.0では、フェディバースの社会的側面をボットに取り入れることで、さらに一歩前進しました。

カスタム絵文字でボットの個性を表現

最も要望の多かった機能の一つがカスタム絵文字のサポートです。これにより、ボットは独自の視覚要素でメッセージを目立たせ、自分だけの個性を表現できるようになりました。

// ボット用のカスタム絵文字を定義
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// メッセージにカスタム絵文字を使用
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}は、Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}によって支えられています`
);

この新しいAPIでは、次のことが可能になりました。

リアクションによるコミュニケーション

コミュニケーションは単にメッセージを投稿するだけではありません。他の人のメッセージに反応することも重要です。新しいリアクションシステムは、ボットとフォロワーの間に自然な交流ポイントを作り出します。

// 標準のUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// または定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// リアクションを認識して応答するボットを作成
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}さん、私のメッセージに${reaction.emoji}でリアクションしてくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

この機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • Message.react()を使用してUnicode絵文字でメッセージにリアクション
  • 定義したカスタム絵文字でリアクション
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreactハンドラーでリアクションイベントを処理

引用による会話

議論では、他の人が言ったことを参照する必要がしばしばあります。新しい引用機能により、より結束力のある会話スレッドを作成できます。

// ボットの投稿で他のメッセージを引用
await session.publish(
  text`この興味深い視点について答えます...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// ユーザーがボットのメッセージを引用した場合の処理
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}さん、私の考えを共有してくれてありがとうございます!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

引用機能により、ボットは次のことができるようになりました。

  • quoteTargetオプションでメッセージを引用
  • Message.quoteTargetを通じて引用されたメッセージにアクセス
  • 新しいBot.onQuoteイベントハンドラーで引用イベントを処理

視覚的な改善

コミュニケーションには視覚的要素も重要なため、ボットの表現方法を改善しました。

  • ウェブインターフェースで画像添付ファイルが正しく表示されるようになりました
  • ボットのコンテンツがより見やすくなり、豊かな体験を提供します

内部改善:活動の伝播の強化

フェディバースでの活動が伝播する方法も改善されました。

  • 返信、共有、更新、削除のより正確な伝播
  • 元のメッセージ作成者に活動が適切に送信されます

これらの改善により、様々なフェディバースプラットフォームでのボットの相互作用が一貫性と信頼性を持つようになります。

BotKit 0.2.0で最初の一歩を踏み出す

これらの新機能を体験してみたいですか?BotKit 0.2.0はJSRで利用可能で、簡単なコマンドでインストールできます。

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKitはTemporal API(JavaScriptではまだ試験的な機能)を使用するため、deno.jsonでこれを有効にする必要があります。

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

これらの簡単なステップで、最新機能を使ってフェディバースボットを作成またはアップグレードする準備が整いました。

今後の展望

0.2.0は、フェディバースボット開発をアクセスしやすく、強力かつ楽しいものにするための私たちの継続的な取り組みを示しています。これらの新機能が、皆さんのボットをフェディバースコミュニティでより魅力的でインタラクティブなメンバーにするのに役立つと信じています。

完全なドキュメントと詳細な例については、私たちのドキュメントサイトをご覧ください。

フィードバック、機能リクエスト、コード貢献を通じてこのリリースに貢献してくださったすべての方々に感謝します。BotKitコミュニティは成長を続けており、皆さんが作成するものを楽しみにしています!

BotKit 0.2.0 릴리스

BotKit 0.2.0 버전이 릴리스되었습니다! BotKit을 처음 접하시는 분들을 위해 간단히 소개하자면, BotKit은 TypeScript로 개발된 독립형 봇 프레임워크입니다. Mastodon, Misskey 등 다양한 () 플랫폼과 상호작용할 수 있으며, 기존 플랫폼의 제약에서 벗어나 자유롭게 봇을 만들 수 있습니다.

이번 릴리스는 연합우주 봇 개발을 더 쉽고 강력하게 만들기 위한 여정에서 중요한 발걸음입니다. 커뮤니티에서 요청해 왔던 여러 기능들을 새롭게 선보입니다.

더 나은 봇 상호작용을 위한 여정

BotKit을 개발하면서 우리는 항상 봇이 더 표현력 있고 상호작용이 풍부하도록 만드는 데 집중해 왔습니다. 0.2.0 버전에서는 연합우주의 사회적 측면을 봇에 접목시켜 한 단계 더 발전시켰습니다.

커스텀 에모지로 봇의 개성 표현하기

가장 많이 요청받았던 기능 중 하나가 지원입니다. 이제 봇은 독특한 시각적 요소로 메시지를 돋보이게 하며 자신만의 개성을 표현할 수 있습니다.

// 봇의 커스텀 에모지 정의하기
const emojis = bot.addCustomEmojis({
  botkit: { 
    file: `${import.meta.dirname}/images/botkit.png`, 
    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// 메시지에 커스텀 에모지 사용하기
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)}은 Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}의 지원을 받습니다`
);

이 새로운 API를 통해 다음과 같은 기능을 사용할 수 있습니다.

반응을 통한 소통

소통은 단순히 메시지를 게시하는 것만이 아닙니다. 다른 사람의 메시지에 반응하는 것도 중요합니다. 새로운 반응 시스템은 봇과 팔로워 사이에 자연스러운 상호작용 지점을 만들어 줍니다.

// 표준 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
await message.react(emoji`👍`);

// 또는 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
await message.react(emojis.botkit);

// 반응을 인식하고 응답하는 봇 만들기
bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${reaction.actor}님, 제 메시지에 ${reaction.emoji} 반응을 남겨주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

이 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

  • Message.react()를 사용하여 유니코드 에모지로 메시지에 반응하기
  • 정의한 커스텀 에모지로 반응하기
  • Bot.onReactBot.onUnreact 핸들러로 반응 이벤트 처리하기

인용을 통한 대화

토론에서는 종종 다른 사람이 말한 내용을 참조해야 할 때가 있습니다. 새로운 기능은 더 응집력 있는 대화 스레드를 만들어 줍니다.

// 봇의 게시물에서 다른 메시지 인용하기
await session.publish(
  text`이 흥미로운 관점에 대한 답변입니다...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// 사용자가 봇의 메시지를 인용할 때 처리하기
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`${quoteMessage.actor}님, 제 생각을 공유해 주셔서 감사합니다!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

인용 기능을 통해 봇은 다음과 같은 작업을 수행할 수 있습니다.

시각적 개선

소통은 시각적인 요소도 중요하기 때문에 봇의 표현 방식을 개선했습니다.

  • 웹 인터페이스에서 이미지 첨부파일이 제대로 표시됩니다
  • 봇의 콘텐츠가 더 보기 좋아지고 풍부한 경험을 제공합니다

내부 개선: 향상된 액티비티 전파

연합우주에서 액티비티가 전파되는 방식도 개선했습니다.

  • 답글, 공유, 업데이트, 삭제의 더 정확한 전파
  • 원본 메시지 작성자에게 액티비티가 제대로 전송됩니다

이러한 개선 사항은 다양한 연합우주 플랫폼에서 봇의 상호작용이 일관되고 안정적으로 이루어지도록 보장합니다.

BotKit 0.2.0으로 첫 걸음 떼기

이러한 새로운 기능을 경험해 보고 싶으신가요? BotKit 0.2.0은 JSR에서 받을 수 있으며 간단한 명령어로 설치할 수 있습니다.

deno add jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0

BotKit은 Temporal API(JavaScript에서 아직 시범적인 기능)를 사용하므로 deno.json에서 이를 활성화해야 합니다.

{
  "imports": {
    "@fedify/botkit": "jsr:@fedify/botkit@0.2.0"
  },
  "unstable": ["temporal"]
}

이 간단한 단계를 통해 최신 기능으로 연합우주 봇을 만들거나 업그레이드할 준비가 완료되었습니다.

앞으로의 전망

BotKit 0.2.0은 연합우주 봇 개발을 접근하기 쉽고, 강력하며, 즐겁게 만들기 위한 우리의 지속적인 노력을 보여줍니다. 이러한 새로운 기능들이 여러분의 봇이 연합우주 커뮤니티에서 더 매력적이고 상호작용이 풍부한 구성원이 되는 데 도움이 될 것이라고 믿습니다.

전체 문서와 더 많은 예제는 저희 문서 사이트에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.

피드백, 기능 요청, 코드 기여를 통해 이번 릴리스에 도움을 주신 모든 분들께 감사드립니다. BotKit 커뮤니티는 계속 성장하고 있으며, 여러분이 만들어낼 작품들을 기대합니다!


BotKit은 ActivityPub 서버 애플리케이션을 만들기 위한 하위 레벨 프레임워크인 Fedify의 지원을 받습니다.

BotKit 0.2.0 Released

We're pleased to announce the release of BotKit 0.2.0! For those new to our project, is a framework for creating standalone bots that can interact with Mastodon, Misskey, and other platforms without the constraints of these existing platforms.

This release marks an important step in our journey to make fediverse bot development more accessible and powerful, introducing several features that our community has been requesting.

The Journey to Better Bot Interactions

In building BotKit, we've always focused on making bots more expressive and interactive. With version 0.2.0, we're taking this to the next level by bringing the social aspects of the fediverse to your bots.

Expressing Your Bot's Personality with Custom Emojis

    type: "image/png" 
  },
  fedify: { 
    url: "https://fedify.dev/logo.png", 
    type: "image/png" 
  }
});

// Use these custom emojis in your messages
await session.publish(
  text`BotKit ${customEmoji(emojis.botkit)} is powered by Fedify ${customEmoji(emojis.fedify)}`
);

bot.onReact = async (session, reaction) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for reacting with ${reaction.emoji} to my message, ${reaction.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

This feature allows your bot to:

Conversations Through Quotes

Discussions often involve referencing what others have said. Our new support enables more cohesive conversation threads:

// Quote another message in your bot's post
await session.publish(
  text`Responding to this interesting point...`,
  { quoteTarget: originalMessage }
);

// Handle when users quote your bot's messages
bot.onQuote = async (session, quoteMessage) => {
  await session.publish(
    text`Thanks for sharing my thoughts, ${quoteMessage.actor}!`,
    { visibility: "direct" }
  );
};

With quote support, your bot can:

Visual Enhancements

Because communication is visual too, we've improved how your bot presents itself:

  • Image attachments now properly display in the web interface
  • Your bot's content looks better and provides a richer experience

Behind the Scenes: Enhanced Activity Propagation

We've also improved how activities propagate through the fediverse:

  • More precise propagation of replies, shares, updates, and deletes
  • Activities are now properly sent to the original message authors

These improvements ensure your bot's interactions are consistent and reliable across different fediverse platforms.

Rendering is particularly problematic. Emojis must display properly across different contexts (in text, as reactions, in emoji pickers) while maintaining quality at various sizes. Animated emojis add another layer of complexity.

Perhaps most concerning is the poor . Most implementations simply use the emoji code (like :party_blob:) as the alt text, which provides no meaningful information to screen reader users (in particular, non-English speakers) about what the emoji actually depicts or means.

What really dampens my motivation to implement this feature is knowing I'm investing significant effort into something that ultimately creates accessibility barriers. It's disheartening to work hard on a feature that excludes part of the community.

Falls es jemand interessiert, sagt Bescheid.

PS:
Leider ist der Rest alles aus den USA gefördert.
Das ist dort, wo bei einigen Open Source Projekten Entwickler*innen „verschwinden“, und dort wo gerade die Förderung dichtgemacht wird.
Ich finde es schade, daß wir (15 Menschen) in Europa immer nur abgelehnt wurden.

I think my main issue with deleting my Facebook account at the end of the month, aside from the obvious loss of many contacts, is that there's no real replacement for it right now. For Twitter, we have Mastodon. For Instagram, we have Pixelfed. For Reddit, we have Lemmy. I know that Friendica exists, but I wouldn't really call it a proper replacement. In my mind, a fedi service that you can use to build a profile, add others as friends, and link out to everything else would be ideal.

Apropos of this, but I can't help but think about how cool it'd be if SpaceHey was added to the fediverse.

As someone who has developed several software implementations (Fedify, Hollo, BotKit, and Hackers' Pub), I believe one of the most frustrating features to implement in the is .

The challenges are numerous:

First, there's no standardization. ActivityPub specifications don't define how custom emoji should work, leading to inconsistent implementations across different servers like Mastodon and Misskey.

Rendering is particularly problematic. Emojis must display properly across different contexts (in text, as reactions, in emoji pickers) while maintaining quality at various sizes. Animated emojis add another layer of complexity.

Perhaps most concerning is the poor . Most implementations simply use the emoji code (like :party_blob:) as the alt text, which provides no meaningful information to screen reader users (in particular, non-English speakers) about what the emoji actually depicts or means.

What really dampens my motivation to implement this feature is knowing I'm investing significant effort into something that ultimately creates accessibility barriers. It's disheartening to work hard on a feature that excludes part of the community.

@ben @thisismissem making it easier to spin up community moderation and management would be a great improvement for the too, but that’s a mostly separate/ non-technical issue. To that point I’m heartbroken that @iftas isn’t able to continue some of their efforts in that direction at this time

just an idea

(not an original one):

the problem with on is that they can be manipulated

on the why not have a menu of algorithms that anyone can write (audited so they are genuinely manipulation-free)?

people can freely choose one, and they can sink into their stupor

if that's what they want

is there harm in that?

i'm not saying they *have* to do that

I’m watching the discussion that’s taking place today on this page, and people are saying that this platform was never made for long form content. It’s always been shorter form content. I legitimately do not understand the reasoning behind not allowing administrators to change the character limit without complicated configurations. I know this is supposed to be micro blogging, favoring shorter posts, because it’s continuously pointed out, to me, and others, that this platform is not a blog but it’s very clear to me that nobody really wants short post to be locked in for everybody. They just want the ability to change it. You can have your flagship instances that keep character limits at 500. That’s totally fine. You can even pretend like instances with 90,000 character limits simply don’t exist if you don’t want to acknowledge them, which, it seems like there is a extreme dislike of instances customizing things to meet the needs of their own communities. None of these rebukes are holding up and it frankly doesn’t make any sense whatsoever because if nothing was meant to change, the option for even increasing or even decreasing the character limit would not exist at all, even via code. Let the admins easily setup the character limits · Issue #12265 · mastodon/mastodon github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

I'm curious, is the recent decline in Fediverse users and activity due to people moving to BlueSky? What other factors might there be?

I'm sure there are ebbs and flows over time. But I do hope the overall trend continues to be upward.

The other day I finally got it. Why #Bluesky is so popular with "regular people" (aka non-techies). It's because it's CENTRALIZED (of course the Bluesky folks would never admit it out right).

One name: Bluesky.
One official URL to join / browse / post messages
One official app: "Bluesky Social" on app stores

In this post-literate society where people have been trained by commercial social media for 2 DECADES to choose the easiest, most frictionless option, of course they will pick Bluesky over the #Fediverse.

Try introducing the concept of servers / instances and names like Mastodon, Sharkey, Pleroma, GoToSocial, Friendica, Pixelfed, PeerTube, Lemmy to people not familiar with them. They'd think you're speaking a foreign language.

The Fediverse is made up of thousands of independent servers. You can't log in to https://joinmastodon.org or https://joinpeertube.org to browse Mastodon or PeerTube. Conversely, when you log into Bluesky you see messages by Bluesky members.

People need to be educated first about defederated options and their numerous advantages.

I get it now. I'm still 1000% in when it comes to the Fediverse but I understand.

And I'm tired.

And I'm posting this here on my GoToSocial account because I wanted to say my piece in one go and I would have run into Mastodon character limits.

How many people have I convinced to join the Fediverse in my 9 months advocating for it through a blog? TWO. How many people are still active on it? One.

Off I go play with LEGOs with my little one - in 12 years, when she's old enough I will set up her own instance. So Fediverse, you gotta be thriving in 2037.

Some questions for all the #GoToSocial users out there.

How many gigabytes of disk space (roughly) does your instance use?

How long has it been online?

And does the growth in storage slow down after the first seven days (on the default configuration), when cached images start clearing out?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Internet Con by @pluralistic

Ever since I was a teen and started to use/think critically about , I've been a fan of Cory Doctorow. One of my favourites back in the day was Pirate Cinema, and it instilled in me a kind of ethos that is brought to light in this new book. That is to say, I read this as a kind of manifesto.

And since you're all here on the , I'd bet you gain something from reading this.

Another cool ActivityPub project I came across today - BadgeFed.

From the point of view of your regular Fediverse instance - I could foresee this being used to recognise members for financial contributions, being moderators, Creating x number of Peertube videos, y posts on Mastodon, winning community contests, stuff like that. Really cool and I will definitely look into this further a bit further down the line.

:fediverse: Fediverse Sprechstunde!
🗓️ am Donnerstag 24.04.2025, 19:30 Uhr!
ONLINE!

Bist du oder in der Welt des Fediverse? Kein Problem! Wir helfen dir bei den ersten Schritten: Profil einrichten, Sicherheitstipps, Posten und Vernetzung. Sei dabei!

Hauptthema: mit @Ranslite .
Ich freue mich darauf und hoffe es werden weitere Nutzer von Lemmy dabei sein.
Lemmy ist wie ein föderiertes Reddit aufgebaut: Der Fokus liegt auf Themen-Communities, in denen Beiträge (z. B. Links, Texte, Bilder) gepostet und kommentiert werden. Die Diskussionen sind eher threadbasiert und themenzentriert.

Eingeladen sind ebenso alle, die bereits Erfahrungen mit Mastodon, Friendica, Pixelfed, Misskey, Hubzilla oder anderen Anwendungen haben und ihr Wissen gerne weitergeben möchten.

:fediverse: Wissensaustausch: Deine Kenntnisse im Fediverse könnten anderen Teilnehmern sehr nützlich sein, besonders denjenigen, die noch neu in der Community sind.
:fediverse: Networking: Dies ist eine hervorragende Gelegenheit, sich mit anderen engagierten Mitgliedern der Gemeinschaft zu vernetzen und neue Kontakte zu knüpfen.
:fediverse: Ideen und Inspiration: Deine Perspektive als erfahrener Benutzer oder Betreiber einer Instanz kann dazu beitragen, innovative Ideen zu fördern und die Zukunft des Fediverse mitzugestalten.

Der Raum wird 10 Minuten vor Beginn geöffnet.
Der Link: dus.webinar-welt.de/rooms/il6-

Das Online-Treffen findet auf unserem BigBlueButton-Server statt. Du benötigst keine zusätzliche Software, sondern nur einen Browser – vorzugsweise Firefox oder Chrome – ein Mikrofon (es handelt sich schließlich um eine Sprechstunde) und, wenn du möchtest, eine Webcam. Wir freuen uns auf einen lebhaften Austausch! 🎙️ 🙋‍♀️

Der Ablauf der Sprechstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Zu Beginn geben wir Tipps und Hinweise für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Anschließend geht es um Ratschläge für Instanzbetreiber und Moderatoren. Ein solcher Austausch ist wichtig und notwendig für eine gute Vernetzung untereinander. Die Welt des Fediverse ist Größer und vielfältiger. Mehr Miteinander statt Gegeneinander.

Je mehr mitmachen, desto besser!







Fediverse Sprechstunde am Donnerstag 24.04.2025, 19:30 Uhr
via Web-Konferenz (BBB) - öffentlich
sehen - hören - sprechen - zeigen - mitmachen
Jeder ist dazu eingeladen sich an der Talk-Runde zu beteiligen um gemeinsam über Fediverse zu sprechen.

We’re rolling out updates to our 62 Community Feeds.

Community Feeds bring together topical knowledge across the open social web. They won’t be going anywhere, don’t worry, but they’ll be getting a fresh lick of paint before we launch Channel.org - including changing their name from Feeds to Channels.

Keep an eye out for updates on Channel.org. It’s coming very soon 👀

Since I have a pretty decent outreach, I propose creating the ultimate "where do we go now" thread.

In it, I suggest:

👉 Discussing what to do next and why there's no need to panic

👉 Where you can register a new account

👉 How you can "migrate" to a new account

👉 Discussing hosting your own personal server

👉 If possible, bringing up any questions not yet addressed in this thread that may be bothering you

#️⃣ I also suggest using the hashtag #LorshMigration for anyone who wants to talk about this now or find each other after the server shuts down, in case something goes wrong. I'm already following it and posting under it with my thoughts on the move or sharing useful info.

📔 If you'd like, you can participate in a subthread for a "census" of people who've moved, stating where you moved from and where to.

ℹ️ Please remember that this thread is not communication with support staff, but just a chat with people who decided to help out on their own initiative.

🫡 Thanks to all the users. I wish you all a cozy new home.

⚠️⚠️⚠️
DON’T FORGET that Mastodon has a migration feature, and you can take all your followers with you. You don’t need to start from scratch and lose your connections! To learn more – keep reading the thread!

⚠️⚠️⚠️ LOR.SH - ЗАКРЫВАЕТСЯ ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Как уже было написано в объявлениях, это произойдёт через пару-тройку месяцев.
В связи с этим я уже не первый раз вижу то как все создают треды "куда бежать".

Так как у меня достаточно неплохой "outreach", предлагаю сделать ультимативный тред "куда бежать".

В нём предлагаю:

👉 Обсудить что теперь делать и почему не нужно паниковать

👉 Где можно зарегистрировать новый аккаунт

👉 Как можно "переехать" на новый аккаунт

👉 Обсудить хостинг своего персонального сервера

👉 По возможности обсудить не поднятые в этом треде вопросы, которые вас волнуют

#️⃣ Также предлагаю хэштег #LorshMigration для тех, кто хочет сейчас что-то обсудить по теме или после закрытия сервера найти друг друга если что-то пошло не так. Я уже подписан на него и сам пишу под ним посты о своих впечатлениях о переезде или делюсь информацией по теме.

📔 Если есть желание можете поучаствовать в субтреде переписи переехавших указав откуда и куда вы переехали.

ℹ️ Пожалуйста, помните, что этот тред - это не общение со службой поддержки, а просто переписка с людьми, которые по своей инициативе решили вам помочь.

🫡 Всем пользователям lor.sh - спасибо. Желаю вам найти себе уютное новое пристанище.

⚠️⚠️⚠️
НЕ ЗАБЫВАЙТЕ, что в Mastodon есть функция миграции и вы можете унести всех подписчиков с собой. Начинать жизнь на новом сервере с нуля и терять связи - не нужно! Чтобы узнать подробнее - читайте тред дальше!

Dear selfhosting enthusiasts running their own GoToSocial instance, I've got a question about web-based UIs:

I am running my own instance with my solitary account (this one) as only user, and I would like to set up my web UI to have a four-column layout:

  1. Accounts I follow
  2. Federated timeline (fosstodon.org)
  3. Hashtag #selfhosting (public if possible, otherwise via fosstodon.org)
  4. Notifications & Mentions

So far, only #phanpy seems to be able to do this. I personally prefer the more classic layout and style of masto-fe, but there's no way to show the federated timeline from another instance, is there? It will filter for posts from accounts I follow on the other instance instead of showing its public timeline.

By the way, how do instance admins handle take down notices?

Say you receive a legal request to take some content down because it's illegal in country X, how does that work?

Hello, friends. I've been known as "Newfangled" on Twitch and just did a re-brand of my channel. It's now called "Positive Notes" which is the name of both the channel and the show.

I'm no longer calling myself "Newfangled", but using my first given name (Dallin) as the host of my new show. So I figured I'd stop using my Newfangled account over on Universeodon and start using this account that I've had for a while but never used much.

I have been using Mastodon for years across various servers and accounts and really enjoy it. It's how social media is supposed to be. The is amazing.

I love . Listening, playing musical instruments, and sharing. On my program I share good music from my collection and good messages and stories to bring a little joy into people's lives.

I am also interested in , things, and .

Fediverse Report – #112

This week is a bit of a shorter Report, it’s a relatively quieter news week and some other work is taking up most of my attention this week. Still, there is a PeerTube roadmap for 2025, some more updates on how FediForum is moving forward and more.

The News

Framasoft has published their PeerTube roadmap for 2025. Last year, PeerTube’s big focus was on the consumer, with the launch of the PeerTube apps. This year, PeerTube’s improvement is on instance administrators. The organisation will work on building a set-wizard, making it easier for new instance admins to get started and configure the platform. Framasoft will also work on further customisation for instances, allowing admins to further tune how the instance looks for the end-users. There is also a lot of work being done on video channels, with the new features being the ability to transfer ownership of a channel, as well as having channels that are owned by multiple accounts. Framasoft also mentions they are working on shared lists of blocked accounts and instances, where admins can share information with other admins on which instances to block. And now that PeerTube is available on Android and iOS, other new platforms that PeerTube will come to is tablets and Android TVs.

The planned FediForum for early April was cancelled at the last minute. A group of attendees held the Townhall event that was held in its place to discuss how to move forward, and listen to people’s perspectives. The notes of the FediForum Townhall have now been published. Last week, the FediForum account posted: “Planned next steps: another townhall likely next week, and a rescheduled & adapted FediForum in May.” The organisers posted a survey for attendees on how to move forward as well. Jon Pincus has an extensive article, “On FediForum (and not just FediForum)” that places the entire situation of why FediForum was cancelled, in its larger context.

PieFed now allows people to limit who can DM them. By default only people on the same instance can receive DMs from each other. The Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin network has seen a rise on spam DMs which send gore images, and this is a helpful way of dealing with this harassment.

IFTAS wrote about how they are continuing their mission. The organisation recently had to wind down most of their high-profile projects due to a lack of funding. This is not the end of the entire organisation however, as IFTAS will continue with their Moderator Needs Assessment, the CARIAD domain observatory, which provides insight in the most commonly blocked domains and more, as well as the IFTAS Connect community for fediverse moderators.

A master’s thesis on the fediverse, which looks at the user activity and governance structures, with the main finding: “The findings reveal that instance size and active engagement—such as frequent posting and interacting with others—are the strongest predictors of user activity, while technical infrastructure plays a more supportive role rather than a determining one. Governance structures, such as moderation practices and community guidelines, show a weaker but positive correlation with user activity.”

Sean Tilley from WeDistribute writes how his work on ‘Integrating a News Publication Into the Fediverse’. Tilley has over a decade of experimentation on building journalistic outlets on fediverse platforms, and in this article he reflects on all the different case studies he has done over the years, and where WeDistribute is headed next.

Building a blog website on Lemmy. This personal website uses Lemmy as a backend for a personal blogging site, where the site is effectively a Lemmy client that looks like a blogging site.

GreatApe is a conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo).

Here is what the GreatApe login screen looks like on a mobile-phone web-browser.

With GreatApe you do NOT have to create a separate GreatApe account.

With GreatApe you use your existing account on Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube to login.

(We plan to support more Fediverse and DeSo logins later.)

I hate to tell Zuck this but if FB has changed so that it is “no longer primarily about connecting with friends” it’s because the algorithms FB has implemented no longer allow for it. People still want to connect & engage with friends & family, as well as make new connections. The difficulty in doing finding & connecting with friends across multiple instances is one of the greatest hurdles Mastodon & the faces/needs to overcome. Discovery is easier on 🦋 but the plethora of feeds can make that platform challenging for newcomers seeking a streamlined experience & space for longer content. No platform will ever be perfect for everyone, but we seriously need to stop throwing up constant roadblocks to use benzinga.com/25/04/44807557/ma

If you tap the "Login With Mastodon" button, you will be taken to a screen that looks something like this.

A few popular Mastodon servers are already listed.

But, if your Mastodon server is not on that list, you can also choose it, by telling GreatApe the URL to your Mastodon server.

Here is the login screen.

You don't have to create a separate GreatApe account. Instead, you use your existing Fediverse account.

Right now, you can log into GreatApe using your Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube account.

(We plan to add support for logging in with other Fediverse and DeSo software, too.)

I hate to tell Zuck this but if FB has changed so that it is “no longer primarily about connecting with friends” it’s because the algorithms FB has implemented no longer allow for it. People still want to connect & engage with friends & family, as well as make new connections. The difficulty in doing finding & connecting with friends across multiple instances is one of the greatest hurdles Mastodon & the faces/needs to overcome. Discovery is easier on 🦋 but the plethora of feeds can make that platform challenging for newcomers seeking a streamlined experience & space for longer content. No platform will ever be perfect for everyone, but we seriously need to stop throwing up constant roadblocks to use benzinga.com/25/04/44807557/ma

GreatApe is a conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo).

Here is what the GreatApe login screen looks like on a mobile-phone web-browser.

With GreatApe you do NOT have to create a separate GreatApe account.

With GreatApe you use your existing account on Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube to login.

(We plan to support more Fediverse and DeSo logins later.)

Ok, ich fasse zusammen: die ganzen Internetversteher*innen sind wegen Musk von X weg zu , und ziehen jetzt wegen weiter zu . Darunter viele Firmen, Unis, Politiker*innen und Journalist*innen.

Ich habe da Fragen, vor allem: was ist an dem Konzept „durchgeknallte Tech-Milliardäre“ so schwer zu verstehen, dass man denselben Fehler drei mal macht?

Another cool ActivityPub project I came across today - BadgeFed.

From the point of view of your regular Fediverse instance - I could foresee this being used to recognise members for financial contributions, being moderators, Creating x number of Peertube videos, y posts on Mastodon, winning community contests, stuff like that. Really cool and I will definitely look into this further a bit further down the line.

On FediForum (and not just FediForum)

This article discusses ways FediForum and others can make progress and take advantage of these opportunities.

The overall framework I'm using is the "Four A's" (acknowledgment, apology, amends, action), which I first saw in Teh Portly Dyke's 2007 post How to Fuck Up. As well as applying the Four As to three specific items mentioned under "Issues of representation and inclusion" in the FediForum draft summary notes, I relate this to broader challenges – and potential learning – in the broader ecosystems. In an appendix, I also discuss challenges – and potential learning – in the broader ecosystems. See the attached table of contents.

It's very challenging to write about intersecting oppressions without stepping into any minefields, and it can also be hard to write about institutional problems without unintentionally making it seem like I'm criticizing individuals. So apologies in advance for any mistakes I've made, feedback welcome!

A last-minute cancellation has a big impact.

Acknowledgment, apology, amends, action.

"The Fediverse was built by many trans and nonbinary
people”.

"Underrepresentation of marginalized communities".

"Anti-Black incidents and lack of follow-up".

Now what?

Appendix: FediForum's response.

Terminology notes.

Notes (with additional references, examples, deeper dives
into related points that I don't want to clutter the main
post up with, and occasional snark)

I'm obsessed with a futuristic techno utopia, where direct democracy flourishes and thousands of people share presidential power, with every citizen being a parliamentarian. It's a kind of country. Here is my newest short story set in such a world.

lolwe.org/the-grey-girl/

My next feature film has this theme; a young woman invents direct democracy technology but faces off with a dictator who uses gene-editing to hold on to power.

However, assuming we understood the PeerTube docs accurately — we have something very non-ideal happening with it.

It seems as if you have to ask for the PeerTube password. I don't want to do that. But — and again, assuming we understood the PeerTube docs accurately — we don't see an alternative way to do that.

I wonder if PeerTube intends to add OAuth support later.

I previously mentioned that — you don't have to create an account on GreatApe. That instead you can use your Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, or PeerTube account.

The login with Mastodon, and login with Pixelfed flow are very smooth. And, GreatApe never sees you password.

I wanted a nice graph to show just how decentralized the Fediverse is, so I built this one from latest data at instances.social. It's actually a lot more decentralized than last time I looked (in 2022); the top 30 instances now house 85% of the users. In 2022 it was about 95% of users on the top 5 instances.

A curve with 30 points going up from 12% to 85%, showing the cumulative fraction of users housed on the largest instances in the fediverse. The x-axis is labeled Fraction of instances (%) and runs from 0.01 to 0.18. The y-axis is labeled Fraction of users (%) and runs from 0 to 90.

Fediverse Report – #111

A new security fund for the fediverse, and the Lemmy developers held an AMA.

The News

The Nivenly Foundation, the organisation that administers the Hachyderm.io instance, is opening a new security fund to sponsor contributors who disclose security vulnerabilities. All software has security vulnerabilities, and the fediverse is no exception. The recent Pixelfed vulnerability, which affected non-Pixelfed servers, is a clear example of how fediverse software can make software vulnerabilities more complex due to the interaction between different software platforms.

The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund will sponsor $250 USD for vulnerabilities that are rated as high risk (7-9 CVSS score) and $500 USD for vulnerabilities with a critical score (9+ CVSS). The program will run until the end of September 2025. Nivenly members “hold a member vote to determine if we want to continue the program, and to establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program.”

Last week, I wrote how Pixelfed’s vulnerability actually showed three different problems: The main problem is Pixelfed’s software vulnerability itself, but there were also two other problems: other software like Mastodon do not make it clear which risk comes with their private posts feature. And once a leak like this one happens, very few fediverse software admins communicated to their users that they might have been affected.

A security fund contributes to combating software vulnerabilities, but it can also help with communication to the rest of the fediverse once a vulnerability is found. It incentives that standard industry practices regarding software vulnerability get followed, and make communication clearer to a wider audience. For example, if Pixelfed’s recent vulnerability had gotten a CVSS classification, it might have been easier to make the severity of the vulnerability explicit to other fediverse software admins. In turn, this might have made it more likely that server admins would communicate the situation with their users.

In last week’s email essay I also wrote about how the fediverse is missing governance infrastructure that connects the various independent nodes and communities. One way to view the fediverse is as a response to centralised Big Tech platforms. These platforms have centralised governance, and are under the control of few people. The fediverse’s response to this is to build a social network that consists of tens of thousands of independent communities, all with their own governance structure. The fediverse has been successful in decentralising the single entity that oversees a social network into many pieces that all oversee a small portion of the network. But it has struggled to build a governance structure that ties all these individual pieces together again.

The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund is a good example of this problem: software security impacts all the thousands of independent fediverse communities, but there is no overarching structure to collaborate and improve the security. It took one server taking the initiative into their own hands and provide a service for the entire network, at their own cost. Ideally, communities would collaborate on such a security fund instead. Nivenly’s announcement does leave space for such a future direction of the fund, saying that they are open to “establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program”.

Note: if you sign up for my email newsletter, you get a weekly essay about the open social web that I do not publish anywhere else. You can sign up right here:

The Lemmy developers, Dessalines and nutomic, held an Ask Me Anything recently, and here are some of the answers that stood out to me:

  • Lemmy is working towards their 1.0 release. This is currently expected to be in the fall, although nutomic also says that “these things always take longer than expected”. He also expects some instances like lemmy.ml already to upgrade some months before.
  • One of the main features for Lemmy 1.0 is private communities, where only approved accounts can browse and posts to the community. This type of closed group functionality is in high demand, and both Mastodon and Pixelfed have tried to implement it. Mastodon got a grant for it, but the proof-of-concept code has been sitting there since 2022. Pixelfed has announced and teased a group feature multiple times over the year and showed screenshots of it, but it also is not publicly available yet.
  • Lemmy posts are interoperable with Mastodon, but the interoperability is not great: a Lemmy post appears on Mastodon as the title plus the URL. There has been many conversations about how Mastodon handles content from other platforms, with no changes so far. In this AMA, nutomic is explicit in saying that it is up to Mastodon to change this. While Mastodon seems open to the idea, and has been in conversations with developers from platforms like Ghost and NodeBB on how to show their content better on Mastodon, there has been little indication that Mastodon is taking steps towards making Lemmy content also better visible on Mastodon.
  • On the subject of how Lemmy can grow, Dessalines describes it as an organic progress, saying: “niche communities on reddit will keep getting fed up with the changes, and migrate to lemmy.” Nutomic describes a similar dynamic for fedi and Bluesky more broadly, saying that he expects that over the long term the fediverse might grow in a similar manner: “when the Bluesky admins make decisions that the community doesnt like, and then there may be another migration wave to the Fediverse”. Both replies indicate Lemmy’s vision of how the project can grow in the long run: stay consistently working on your product, and because platforms like Lemmy are not beholden to investors, they can have a longer lifespan, and outlive platforms who are beholden to shareholder expectations.
  • Grouping of communities (similar to PieFed’s topics or Reddit’s multireddits) “will be implemented soon“.

Ahoy! is a one-day conference for the European Social Web, and will be held on April 24th 2025 in Hamburg, Germany. The conference is mainly focused on Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and has some super fascinating speakers of people who are in the forefront of building new communities on the open social web. If you’re around I can definitely recommend it. I’ll be doing some interviews with people there, so if you are considering joining, let me know and we can say hi!

Interested in

I found some active accounts from organisations but it seems to be harder to find accounts representing persons.

Can you recommend me any accounts from Switzerland or accounts focussing on AI? :)

@id@fedi.4x31.dev

Now that I've set up a #selfhosting GoToSocial instance, let's start with an #introduction to the lovely #fediverse!

Thinking. Sketching. Writing. Crafting. Philosophy. Mental Models. Curiosity. Language. Variety.

My name is Axel Knauf, and I am an IT professional specialising in software development & architecture, service design with a focus on digital products & services, consulting and technical leadership. I’ve been working in the industry since 2005 and am usually staffed as tech lead and delivery principal on interdisciplinary software development teams.

Having started out as a tech-focused developer, I now love working with people, esp. as a facilitator in workshop / group settings.

There are so many topics I am interested in (see list above, it doesn't stop there), mostly driven by the desire to understand the world and people in a better way: From quantum field theory, through physics, chemistry, biology, anatomy & physiology up to its effects on the psyche, cognition and individual psychology and then further to group dynamics, social psychology, sociology and finally systems-thinking bringing it all together.

Oh, and did I mention astronomy? And art? And FLOSS? Linux? Hand-crafting? And heavy metal (music, not chemistry)? And artificial languages? And video games? And gardening? And fermentation? Baking sourdough bread? ..

As dire as times seem to be, this world is a splendid place to live in. And I am a radical optimist who believes in a bright future for mankind. Yes, this may be a little bit delusional nowadays. But if you zoom out and look at humanity's trajectory, you will see that just 150 years ago the average life would end after ~40 years, and 50% of children would die before the age of five.

There will be setbacks, there will be disruption and suffering. But there is also a silver lining and a bright future ahead of us (and I am not talking about AI). Let's build it together!

I wrote up an article on my personal (Ghost-powered!) blog about some of the work I’ve been doing to integrate our news publication at We Distribute into the #Fediverse.

This is the culmination of years and years of experiments, and we’re almost to a point where most of our ideas have been realized.

Tomorrow (Sunday, the 13th of April) will make two weeks since I moved into my new solo GoToSocial instance.

I'm really quite happy with it. It's fast, stable, and has worked without a hiccup other than that one incident where my disk allotment filled up and I didn't realize what was happening 😊

There are several nice webapps that work with it on my Linux powered PC, and at least three good iOS apps that work very well indeed. Ivory, FediText and Tusker seem to be the cream of the crop, IMO.

I'm going to advocate for small instances in the 'verse, where possible. It just seems to me that this will make everything much more resilient for the long-haul, even if more challenging from a technical perspective.

GTS actively helps those small instances come to life, and that's a good thing!

I have been thinking that — having a regular DEMO DAY for Fediverse developers might be desirable.

Maybe something once a month, where Fediverse developers get together (online), and —

• show what they have been working on,
• talk about Fediverse development issues,
• etc

Not a conference. Just something quick.

(It could be under existing "banner" that already exists. Doesn't necessarily have to be something new.)

have a hard time trusting ppl, especially Black folks that want us to live in these digital silos. After the Civil Rights era digital activism has been one of the primary ways to hold ppl accountable. #metoo #blm & many others wouldn’t have had the impact if it was gated behind #fediverse instances. I get that there’s a lot of white people here so it’s not really a thought, it’s easier to just block out and isolate and pretend the bad stuff isn’t there. Black and Brown folks don’t typically have that luxury & it’s not usually just the threat of mean words but fairly often the threat of physical harm

Decentralized Social-Media, such as the Fediverse, not only takes advantage of network-effects, but also has a solution to the cold-start problem.

This is similar to what historically happened with the IBM PC and the PC Clones.

I've looked through all the settings, and there doesn't appear to be one change that.

Is there a way to get replies or boosts to appear there too?

I was able to secure the last Gold tier Mastodon pledge! 🎉

About time, I owe so much to Mastodon and their iconic journey of decentralizing Twitter.

I don't think Bluesky, Pixelfed or Lemmy would exist without Mastodon. Their project gave us a blueprint for what's possible.

Kudos @Mastodon & @Gargron, you inspired a whole generation of dreamers like me. Standing on the shoulders of giants ❤️

I am creating a minimalistic implementation of a badge system similar to Credly, built using and leveraging the

I have issued a first badge, the idea is to decentralize the verification systems, and allow organizations to self-certify. It is incredible that organizations like Microsoft or Non-Profits pay thousands of dollars to companies like Pearson to just provide "verified" badges. Similar to mastodons installed in social-dot-something, thinkg of badges<dot> mozilla<dot>com , certifications<dot>myschooldistrict<dot>com. Or even a podcast emitting a badge for its guests, with the verification in the domain.

ActivityPub already offers a secure way to sign artifacts and interact between actors. The fediverse already have people with profiles, a social graph as @mike says, ready to use. Think of how LetsEncrypt disrupted that market of few actors selling certificates for websites.

I have a functional poc,
@fediverse is not a mastodon, pledora or blog, it is an actor in a badge system, but you can follow it in Mastodon. Its badges will show in but they are not notes or articles.

The number one cause of Fediverse servers crashing seems to be the storage drives filling up with cached Fediverse user data — posts, profiles, avatar images, header images, etc.

But, Misskey and the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish, Sharkey, etc) also have an additional challenge that fills up their storage drives —

A nice side-effect of using a Fediverse caching server is — for some Fediverse software, it would enable the Fediverse software to run on a less expensive computer.

(For example, compressing and shrinking images can make the computer needs higher. If that is delegated to a caching server, etc, then the Fediverse server doesn't incur that higher computer needs. Which makes hosting less expensive.)

I think a good strategy to broadly address this is — for Fediverse software to have a concept of caching-servers they could delegate to, to do the caching for them.

These caching servers could even be shared.

...

I have been working on such a Fediverse caching server.

But the various Fediverse software out there would need to be modified to use it.

I can tell you from experience of hosting many people's Fediverse server instances for a number of years now that —

Many Fediverse software (at least currently) do a poor job of cleaning-up their various caches

Caching other people's profiles, images, posts, etc

And, this often ends up filling up the storage drive

And as a result, this is a very common thing that causes down-time for people. Probably the most common

Okay, help me decide: Self-hosted Mastodon or GoToSocial? What's the pros and cons of each?

Recently, I set up a VPS running YunoHost.

I've been meaning to set up a personal single-user Fedi instance on it, but life's gotten in the way a bit.

I strongly considered Friendica, but it's not there in terms of UX.

So I've narrowed it down to GtS or Masto.

My understanding is that GtS is far more lightweight, but misses some key features. Masto is more resource hungry.

Will I need a relay server for a single-user instance?

Any other key things I should be aware of before diving in?

Fediverse Report – #111

A new security fund for the fediverse, and the Lemmy developers held an AMA.

The News

The Nivenly Foundation, the organisation that administers the Hachyderm.io instance, is opening a new security fund to sponsor contributors who disclose security vulnerabilities. All software has security vulnerabilities, and the fediverse is no exception. The recent Pixelfed vulnerability, which affected non-Pixelfed servers, is a clear example of how fediverse software can make software vulnerabilities more complex due to the interaction between different software platforms.

The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund will sponsor $250 USD for vulnerabilities that are rated as high risk (7-9 CVSS score) and $500 USD for vulnerabilities with a critical score (9+ CVSS). The program will run until the end of September 2025. Nivenly members “hold a member vote to determine if we want to continue the program, and to establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program.”

Last week, I wrote how Pixelfed’s vulnerability actually showed three different problems: The main problem is Pixelfed’s software vulnerability itself, but there were also two other problems: other software like Mastodon do not make it clear which risk comes with their private posts feature. And once a leak like this one happens, very few fediverse software admins communicated to their users that they might have been affected.

A security fund contributes to combating software vulnerabilities, but it can also help with communication to the rest of the fediverse once a vulnerability is found. It incentives that standard industry practices regarding software vulnerability get followed, and make communication clearer to a wider audience. For example, if Pixelfed’s recent vulnerability had gotten a CVSS classification, it might have been easier to make the severity of the vulnerability explicit to other fediverse software admins. In turn, this might have made it more likely that server admins would communicate the situation with their users.

In last week’s email essay I also wrote about how the fediverse is missing governance infrastructure that connects the various independent nodes and communities. One way to view the fediverse is as a response to centralised Big Tech platforms. These platforms have centralised governance, and are under the control of few people. The fediverse’s response to this is to build a social network that consists of tens of thousands of independent communities, all with their own governance structure. The fediverse has been successful in decentralising the single entity that oversees a social network into many pieces that all oversee a small portion of the network. But it has struggled to build a governance structure that ties all these individual pieces together again.

The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund is a good example of this problem: software security impacts all the thousands of independent fediverse communities, but there is no overarching structure to collaborate and improve the security. It took one server taking the initiative into their own hands and provide a service for the entire network, at their own cost. Ideally, communities would collaborate on such a security fund instead. Nivenly’s announcement does leave space for such a future direction of the fund, saying that they are open to “establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program”.

Note: if you sign up for my email newsletter, you get a weekly essay about the open social web that I do not publish anywhere else. You can sign up right here:

The Lemmy developers, Dessalines and nutomic, held an Ask Me Anything recently, and here are some of the answers that stood out to me:

  • Lemmy is working towards their 1.0 release. This is currently expected to be in the fall, although nutomic also says that “these things always take longer than expected”. He also expects some instances like lemmy.ml already to upgrade some months before.
  • One of the main features for Lemmy 1.0 is private communities, where only approved accounts can browse and posts to the community. This type of closed group functionality is in high demand, and both Mastodon and Pixelfed have tried to implement it. Mastodon got a grant for it, but the proof-of-concept code has been sitting there since 2022. Pixelfed has announced and teased a group feature multiple times over the year and showed screenshots of it, but it also is not publicly available yet.
  • Lemmy posts are interoperable with Mastodon, but the interoperability is not great: a Lemmy post appears on Mastodon as the title plus the URL. There has been many conversations about how Mastodon handles content from other platforms, with no changes so far. In this AMA, nutomic is explicit in saying that it is up to Mastodon to change this. While Mastodon seems open to the idea, and has been in conversations with developers from platforms like Ghost and NodeBB on how to show their content better on Mastodon, there has been little indication that Mastodon is taking steps towards making Lemmy content also better visible on Mastodon.
  • On the subject of how Lemmy can grow, Dessalines describes it as an organic progress, saying: “niche communities on reddit will keep getting fed up with the changes, and migrate to lemmy.” Nutomic describes a similar dynamic for fedi and Bluesky more broadly, saying that he expects that over the long term the fediverse might grow in a similar manner: “when the Bluesky admins make decisions that the community doesnt like, and then there may be another migration wave to the Fediverse”. Both replies indicate Lemmy’s vision of how the project can grow in the long run: stay consistently working on your product, and because platforms like Lemmy are not beholden to investors, they can have a longer lifespan, and outlive platforms who are beholden to shareholder expectations.
  • Grouping of communities (similar to PieFed’s topics or Reddit’s multireddits) “will be implemented soon“.

Ahoy! is a one-day conference for the European Social Web, and will be held on April 24th 2025 in Hamburg, Germany. The conference is mainly focused on Bluesky and the AT Protocol, and has some super fascinating speakers of people who are in the forefront of building new communities on the open social web. If you’re around I can definitely recommend it. I’ll be doing some interviews with people there, so if you are considering joining, let me know and we can say hi!

Some idle questions just out of curiosity, none of them really connected

1) Why does load everything faster than when I log in through my instance?

2) I made a account for @rainbowrodeomag. I use the same social media scheduler for my Mastodon account. Same posts. Same content. Same images. But the Pixey account has more interactions. What's up with that?

3) I set up a federated account using Ghost's beta (index[at]rainbowrodemag[dot]com) but I can't find it when I search?

I've already got separate Mastodon and Threads accounts so I'm not planning to rely on this...it seems like it's really Ghost's attempts to create an ecosystem similar to Substack's app without actually building an app (which imo is really smart)

Thanks for your time!

I was able to secure the last Gold tier Mastodon pledge! 🎉

About time, I owe so much to Mastodon and their iconic journey of decentralizing Twitter.

I don't think Bluesky, Pixelfed or Lemmy would exist without Mastodon. Their project gave us a blueprint for what's possible.

Kudos @Mastodon & @Gargron, you inspired a whole generation of dreamers like me. Standing on the shoulders of giants ❤️

At a non-tech event!

Definitely my scene. Definitely where Fediverse conversations should be happening!!!

Also, I presented in the astounding main room for another event three years ago, and I talked about the Fediverse, too! It wasn’t recorded 🫤

Aaaargh I wish I was there so badly.

Please @andypiper @ben @ share this earlier next time, so that I can make plans! I should have listened to @melaniebartos when she got in my mind the idea to go.

This is also a lesson for me because I should have proposed to @valigiablu to host a workshop before the CfP closed.

Fediverse, can you help? I'm growing weary of constantly fighting this fight in my campaign groups and seeking other effective articles and resources to tackle antifascists' justifications for remaining on Twitter and such because "we must go where people are." You can call it a Nazi bar, but their counter is "a bunch of us are still on there and we aren't Nazis." Sigh. Thanks in advance! @fedizine

@jon@vivaldi.net

When I talk about the importance of going all in on the Fediverse, I speak based on experience.

At Opera we built a massive user community. When I quit, we had something like 35 million registered users and 35 million monthly visitors.

The new Opera management did not see the value of that. They believed it was cheaper and better to just use Facebook and that investing in your own community was a waste of money. So they closed down MyOpera and built a following on Facebook and Twitter instead. Then they got caught by the bait and switch when Facebook changed and you would no longer reach your audience, without paying. Later on Twitter changed as well.

This is important to explain to companies and institutions as they go shopping for social media sites to invest in. The best investment is clearly in your own site, being part of the Fediverse. It is not even all that expensive to do. It may take longer to build, but at least it is your own.

Not saying you cannot build a following on those other sites, but your long term strategy should be the Fediverse with your own server.

We try to lead the way here and thus we build Vivaldi Social. Not just for our selves, but to make a point and support the Fediverse.

Fediverse Report – #111

A new security fund for the fediverse, and the Lemmy developers held an AMA.

The News

The Nivenly Foundation, the organisation that administers the Hachyderm.io instance, is opening a new security fund to sponsor contributors who disclose security vulnerabilities. All software has security vulnerabilities, and the fediverse is no exception. The recent Pixelfed vulnerability, which affected non-Pixelfed servers, is a clear example of how fediverse software can make software vulnerabilities more complex due to the interaction between different software platforms.

The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund will sponsor $250 USD for vulnerabilities that are rated as high risk (7-9 CVSS score) and $500 USD for vulnerabilities with a critical score (9+ CVSS). The program will run until the end of September 2025. Nivenly members “hold a member vote to determine if we want to continue the program, and to establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program.”

Last week, I wrote how Pixelfed’s vulnerability actually showed three different problems: The main problem is Pixelfed’s software vulnerability itself, but there were also two other problems: other software like Mastodon do not make it clear which risk comes with their private posts feature. And once a leak like this one happens, very few fediverse software admins communicated to their users that they might have been affected.

A security fund contributes to combating software vulnerabilities, but it can also help with communication to the rest of the fediverse once a vulnerability is found. It incentives that standard industry practices regarding software vulnerability get followed, and make communication clearer to a wider audience. For example, if Pixelfed’s recent vulnerability had gotten a CVSS classification, it might have been easier to make the severity of the vulnerability explicit to other fediverse software admins. In turn, this might have made it more likely that server admins would communicate the situation with their users.

In last week’s email essay I also wrote about how the fediverse is missing governance infrastructure that connects the various independent nodes and communities. One way to view the fediverse is as a response to centralised Big Tech platforms. These platforms have centralised governance, and are under the control of few people. The fediverse’s response to this is to build a social network that consists of tens of thousands of independent communities, all with their own governance structure. The fediverse has been successful in decentralising the single entity that oversees a social network into many pieces that all oversee a small portion of the network. But it has struggled to build a governance structure that ties all these individual pieces together again.

The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund is a good example of this problem: software security impacts all the thousands of independent fediverse communities, but there is no overarching structure to collaborate and improve the security. It took one server taking the initiative into their own hands and provide a service for the entire network, at their own cost. Ideally, communities would collaborate on such a security fund instead. Nivenly’s announcement does leave space for such a future direction of the fund, saying that they are open to “establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program”.

Note: if you sign up for my email newsletter, you get a weekly essay about the open social web that I do not publish anywhere else. You can sign up right here:

The Lemmy developers, Dessalines and nutomic, held an Ask Me Anything recently, and here are some of the answers that stood out to me:

  • Lemmy is working towards their 1.0 release. This is currently expected to be in the fall, although nutomic also says that “these things always take longer than expected”. He also expects some instances like lemmy.ml already to upgrade some months before.
  • One of the main features for Lemmy 1.0 is private communities, where only approved accounts can browse and posts to the community. This type of closed group functionality is in high demand, and both Mastodon and Pixelfed have tried to implement it. Mastodon got a grant for it, but the proof-of-concept code has been sitting there since 2022.

Fediverse Report – #111

A new security fund for the fediverse, and the Lemmy developers held an AMA.

The News

The Nivenly Foundation, the organisation that administers the Hachyderm.io instance, is opening a new security fund to sponsor contributors who disclose security vulnerabilities. All software has security vulnerabilities, and the fediverse is no exception. The recent Pixelfed vulnerability, which affected non-Pixelfed servers, is a clear example of how fediverse software can make software vulnerabilities more complex due to the interaction between different software platforms.

The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund will sponsor $250 USD for vulnerabilities that are rated as high risk (7-9 CVSS score) and $500 USD for vulnerabilities with a critical score (9+ CVSS). The program will run until the end of September 2025. Nivenly members “hold a member vote to determine if we want to continue the program, and to establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program.”

Last week, I wrote how Pixelfed’s vulnerability actually showed three different problems: The main problem is Pixelfed’s software vulnerability itself, but there were also two other problems: other software like Mastodon do not make it clear which risk comes with their private posts feature. And once a leak like this one happens, very few fediverse software admins communicated to their users that they might have been affected.

A security fund contributes to combating software vulnerabilities, but it can also help with communication to the rest of the fediverse once a vulnerability is found. It incentives that standard industry practices regarding software vulnerability get followed, and make communication clearer to a wider audience. For example, if Pixelfed’s recent vulnerability had gotten a CVSS classification, it might have been easier to make the severity of the vulnerability explicit to other fediverse software admins. In turn, this might have made it more likely that server admins would communicate the situation with their users.

In last week’s email essay I also wrote about how the fediverse is missing governance infrastructure that connects the various independent nodes and communities. One way to view the fediverse is as a response to centralised Big Tech platforms. These platforms have centralised governance, and are under the control of few people. The fediverse’s response to this is to build a social network that consists of tens of thousands of independent communities, all with their own governance structure. The fediverse has been successful in decentralising the single entity that oversees a social network into many pieces that all oversee a small portion of the network. But it has struggled to build a governance structure that ties all these individual pieces together again.

The Nivenly Fediverse Security Fund is a good example of this problem: software security impacts all the thousands of independent fediverse communities, but there is no overarching structure to collaborate and improve the security. It took one server taking the initiative into their own hands and provide a service for the entire network, at their own cost. Ideally, communities would collaborate on such a security fund instead. Nivenly’s announcement does leave space for such a future direction of the fund, saying that they are open to “establish a longer-term committee to steward and maintain the program”.

Note: if you sign up for my email newsletter, you get a weekly essay about the open social web that I do not publish anywhere else. You can sign up right here:

The Lemmy developers, Dessalines and nutomic, held an Ask Me Anything recently, and here are some of the answers that stood out to me:

  • Lemmy is working towards their 1.0 release. This is currently expected to be in the fall, although nutomic also says that “these things always take longer than expected”. He also expects some instances like lemmy.ml already to upgrade some months before.
  • One of the main features for Lemmy 1.0 is private communities, where only approved accounts can browse and posts to the community. This type of closed group functionality is in high demand, and both Mastodon and Pixelfed have tried to implement it. Mastodon got a grant for it, but the proof-of-concept code has been sitting there since 2022. Pixelfed has announced and teased a group feature multiple times over the year and showed screenshots of it, but it also is not publicly available yet.

Some idle questions just out of curiosity, none of them really connected

1) Why does load everything faster than when I log in through my instance?

2) I made a account for @rainbowrodeomag. I use the same social media scheduler for my Mastodon account. Same posts. Same content. Same images. But the Pixey account has more interactions. What's up with that?

3) I set up a federated account using Ghost's beta (index[at]rainbowrodemag[dot]com) but I can't find it when I search?

I've already got separate Mastodon and Threads accounts so I'm not planning to rely on this...it seems like it's really Ghost's attempts to create an ecosystem similar to Substack's app without actually building an app (which imo is really smart)

Thanks for your time!

I think the same problem with representation among entries is pervasive among projects as well - including the :

Contributions are done by those who have sufficient free time to work on such projects, which usually means having a stable, comfortable existence. Thus, the majority of contrirbutors tend to be white men - and they bring their own biases with them.

This is a problem - while the concept of the Fediverse is great, our user base is not very diverse. in the old days blew the Fediverse out if the water, in this regard at least.

We need to include a lot more different people for the development of the Fediverse, from all over the world, instread of the crowd if largely white Europeans and North Americans we have now. Yet how can we include them, if the expectation is that the contributors should work for free - something much harder to do if you _don't_ have a stable source of income and a job that gives you sufficient free time?

I'm obsessed with a futuristic techno utopia, where direct democracy flourishes and thousands of people share presidential power, with every citizen being a parliamentarian. It's a kind of country. Here is my newest short story set in such a world.

My next feature film has this theme; a young woman invents direct democracy technology but faces off with a dictator who uses gene-editing to hold on to power.

Don't forget to support your Fedi admins in any way you can.

Fediverse isn't run by multi-billion dollar companies, and in a lot of cases, is simply run by kind folks who just want to have a nice social media platform.

Therefore, there's a high chance that the server costs come out of their pockets.

Support your admins. They help Fedi go round.🫶

After a little bit of reading up on the docs I've now set up my personal #fediverse instance using #GoToSocial - smooth sailing so far, esp. with the provided compose file for use with podman:

https://docs.gotosocial.org/en/latest/getting_started/installation/

I am using a #Caddy reverse proxy in front for SSL termination, since it does all the LetsEncrypt ACME stuff out of the box and the virtual host config is literally three lines long:

https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/patterns#reverse-proxy

This also includes WebSockets without additional parameters, so live updates from clients will work nicely.

Speaking of clients, I now settled with panphy.social. A modern web-based UI, highly configurable, and the #vim-like key bindings are lovely <3

国漢文混用体からHolloまで

本日、第8回FediLUG勉強会で「国漢文混用体からHolloまで」というタイトルで発表をしてきました。

私がなぜActivityPubサーバーフレームワークのFedifyと、シングルユーザー向けActivityPubサーバーのHolloを開発する事に成ったのか、その旅路を共有しました。

実は全ての始まりは、韓国語の「国漢文混用体」(漢字ハングル混じり文)に「振りハングル」を付けたいという単純な願いからでした。この小さな目標が、最終的にFedifyHolloという二つのプロジェクトへと発展したのです。

Ich weiß, lange Texte sind im Fediverse nicht bei allen beliebt. Manche betonen immer wieder, das sei doch kein „Microblogging“ mehr. Aber mal ehrlich: Seit wann ist das Fediverse eine reine Microblogging-Plattform?
Ich kenne nicht alle Zugangssoftwares, aber soweit ich weiß, unterstützen zum Beispiel , , , und auch lange Texte ganz wunderbar. Auch meine eigene -Instanz habe ich ordentlich aufgebohrt – mit ein paar tausend Zeichen, weil Mastodon ja leider immer noch an seinem 500-Zeichen-Limit festhält.

Und bitte versteht mich nicht falsch: Das ist kein Bashing gegen Mastodon! Es geht mir eher darum, den Blick dafür zu öffnen, dass das Fediverse viel mehr ist als nur ein Ort für Kurztexte. Es ist vielfältig, offen – ein Raum für alle möglichen Ausdrucksformen. Und dazu gehören eben auch längere Gedanken.

Neulich habe ich sogar gelesen, dass jemand alle Accounts blocken will, die lange Texte posten. Das hat mich echt irritiert. Warum diese Abwehr gegen Tiefe und Details? Ich persönlich liebe längere Texte – beim Schreiben ebenso wie beim Lesen. Sie geben mir die Möglichkeit, wirklich in Themen einzutauchen, mich auszudrücken, zu erzählen.

Das lebt doch gerade von dieser Vielfalt, oder? Lasst uns das feiern – in 500 Zeichen oder in 5.000. 💛

国漢文混用体からHolloまで

本日、第8回FediLUG勉強会で「国漢文混用体からHolloまで」というタイトルで発表をしてきました。

私がなぜActivityPubサーバーフレームワークのFedifyと、シングルユーザー向けActivityPubサーバーのHolloを開発する事に成ったのか、その旅路を共有しました。

実は全ての始まりは、韓国語の「国漢文混用体」(漢字ハングル混じり文)に「振りハングル」を付けたいという単純な願いからでした。この小さな目標が、最終的にFedifyHolloという二つのプロジェクトへと発展したのです。

It seems that in Germany, related matters are being covered by the news media. In Japan, brand thinking is still very strong, and it is difficult to reach that level.

⁂ New symbol version!

It is a crazy coincidence that a new Fediverse symbol proposal was advanced exactly one week after I published the first version of the Anti-Fascist Fediverse sticker with the “old” logo on it! No problem, if not that I just printed a thousand 5x5cm version 1 stickers… 🤯

Despite the terrible timing for the stickers printing, I am very happy about this new symbol proposal, I love it! 😍

Even though I am currently boarding a flight to Tallinn, where I will be moving for 5 months (😱). I quickly created with great pleasure a second version with the asterism symbol! 🚀

Thanks a lot to @FediverseSymbol, @liaizon, @raphael, and @nclm for this proposal!

The the Fediverse symbol (⁂) in red, partially covering the same logo in black. Both are inside a white circle, enclosed in a black circular stripe. On the black circular stripe, the writing “AntiFascist Fediverse”, in capital letters.

Trump and his new big tech autocracy: Trump, Musk & Co are trying to dismantle the state at high speed. A culture war has broken out. Is democracy in danger?

How dangerous is this and what can Europe do to counter it? Will the EU's democratic rules stand up to the superiority of US big tech?

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.

I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.

I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.

By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂

I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.

Thanks all!

This was originally going to be a session ... oh well. But why let the FediForum organizers' screwups sabotage a worthwhile conversation? We decided to go ahead with the discussion anyhow. Here's the notes.

Feedback welcome! There are some specific questions in the reply, or here's a CryptPad form if you'd rather give feedback anonymously, but I'm also interested in reactions to topics we discussed in the meeting -- and thoughts in general!

This is a program that I've been championing within @nivenly over the past year, after we noticed that security vulnerabilities weren't being disclosed responsibly, and not enough research was going into the security of Fediverse software.

You might remember my Pixelfed vulnerability from last year, where OAuth scopes weren't checked allowing for privilege escalation via the API (CVE-2024-25108), that was our very first test-case of this program.

I'm incredibly proud to be involved in launching the Fediverse Security Fund from Nivenly Foundation (a 501(c)4 not-for-profit cooperative)

Hello @MastodonEngineering,

I wanted to share some feedback on the documentation provided in the Highlighting Journalism on Mastodon blog post.

Specifically, in The technical section, the example code for the fediverse:creator meta tag is given as:

<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@Gargron@mastodon.social" />

Based on my testing (and that of others), Mastodon doesn't seem to recognize the creator link correctly when the leading @ is present in the content attribute. It only works when the @ is removed, like this:

<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="Gargron@mastodon.social" />

Following the blog's example directly led to some wasted time figuring out why it wasn't working. It would be great if either the example in the blog post could be corrected to reflect the current requirement, or if Mastodon's parser could be made more flexible to accept the handle with or without the leading @.

Appreciate all you do for !

Und es gab auch bissl Kritik über große Plattformen bei #Mastodon, die wie Königreiche geführt werden, wo einige Meinungen nicht erwünscht werden. Wobei ich hab das Gefühl, dass sich das bisschen gebessert hat. Hab zumindest seit langem keinen Shitstorm mehr mitbekommen.

GreatApe is a conversations platform for the Fediverse and decentralized social-media (DeSo).

After you log into GreatApe (using your Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey, PeerTube, etc account) — you either schedule live conversation for some time in the future, or have the live conversation happen immediately.

(Most will probably schedule it for the future.)

hey, fediverse friends - i'm excited that we're finally announcing our Fediverse Security Fund over at @nivenly to help make fedi software more secure.

we're starting off super small to see if the Fund is a thing that can help. along the way we'll learn and improve our intake/payout process. and if there's solid interest and we see good impact, we'll hold a member vote near the end of the experiment to decide if we'll renew/expand the program.

thanks to @thisismissem for her contributions and being the first disclosure to validate the process.

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.

I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.

I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.

By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂

I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.

Thanks all!

Organizers Log:

An update about the Fediverse Conference in Canada (FediCon) on August 1st & Saturday August 2nd I have been organizing.

I have paid the deposit to reserve the room chosen for the conference.

I also signed the contract for it.

The next thing I need to deal with is — catering, audio & visual requirements, room set up.

These will be additional costs.

(There are more things to do after those. But, that is what is next.)

Fediverse Report – #110

A vulnerability in Pixelfed caused private posts from other platforms to leak, a post-mortem on the CSAM scanner from IFTAS, and Fediforum has been cancelled.

Pixelfed vulnerability impacts private posts across most of the fediverse

The fediverse suffered from a significant breach for private accounts, that affects the large majority of fediverse servers, due to a vulnerability in the Pixelfed software. What is notable about the situation is that the software vulnerability is in Pixelfed, but the affected accounts are not exclusive to Pixelfed: accounts on Mastodon and other fediverse software with a form of private accounts are also vulnerable. The vulnerability was found by the independent developer Fiona, who wrote a blog post about the vulnerability and the disclosure process.

To understand the situation, a short explanation of two features of Mastodon and some other fediverse microblogging software, locked accounts, and follower-only posts. Together these two features make it possible to have a form of private accounts. Locked accounts means that you cannot automatically follow that account, it has to be approved instead. Follower-only posts means that the post will only be displayed to your followers.

When a locked account approves a follower, follower-only posts now get send to the server that this follower is on. Because the receiving server now has this follower-only post in their database, they need to correctly handle whom they show this post to and whom they do not. If another account on the other server also tries to follow the locked account, but the locked account does not approve, this third account should not be able to see the messages. This is where Pixelfed’s vulnerability comes in: Pixelfed was not waiting for a confirmation if a follow request was approved, it assumed that it was automatically approved. That is how any private posts made on (almost) any fediverse server could be leaked: if a Pixelfed server already had the private post (because of someone of Pixelfed followed the locked account with approval), it would show it to anyone else who also tried to follow the locked account, even if the locked account rejected the follow request.

Pixelfed’s vulnerability points to deeper issues with the fediverse, activitypub and private posts. If all it takes to leak private messages is another server to be misconfigured, than it indicates the huge security risk inherent in private posts via ActivityPub. Even more so considering that the network incentivises and encourages people to build their own software implementations, which increases the risk of security vulnerability and other misconfigurations significantly. For simplicity I’ll focus here on Mastodon, although it also goes for other microblogging fediverse software that offers a combination of follower-only posts and locked accounts. At its core, private posts via ActivityPub requires to trust other servers. This is how ActivityPub works: your server sends posts to another server. There is no way to enforce that this other server respects your preference on how they should handle this post. If you do not trust another server to handle your data properly, the only way to deal with that is by not sending your post to that server.

When you make a follower-only post on Mastodon, the UI prompt warns you that followers-only posts without setting your account to locked allows anyone to view your posts by simply following you. The documentation for Mastodon also reinforces this, saying: “To effectively publish private (followers-only) posts, you must lock your account–otherwise, anyone could follow you to view older posts.” The documentation makes it clear that Mastodon views the combination of follower-only posts with a locked account as private posts. But nowhere is it made clear that these posts being private depends on other servers being good actors and not having an error in their code. So using private posts on Mastodon comes with the risk of the private posts being leaked due to flaws in other software, without people being aware of this risk.

Once a leak like this one happens, it is unclear who is responsible for communications with affected users. It was a flaw in Pixelfed that caused the vulnerability, but it is other people on other fediverse servers that are affected. Pixelfed developer Daniel Supernault has only made minimal announcements, urging Pixelfed admins to upgrade, without further explanation to the people who are actually affected by the vulnerability. Personally I think Supernault should have handled communications significantly better. But it is the thousands of fediverse server admins who provide the actual social networking to people on their server. They are the ones who are offering a social networking site with a variety of features, including the ability to make private posts (as advertised by the Mastodon software), and are the ones who are responsible for handling the data of their users. I could only find one example of a server admin that has informed their users of the situation, even though it is the data of their users that is affected. I’m unclear if this is because the admins are not aware of what’s going on, or the admins view it as the responsibility of someone else to inform people that data they thought was private might potentially have been leaked.

Overall, it means that there actually three separate problems going on at the same time:

  • The first problem is that Pixelfed had a vulnerability which leaked private data from people on other platforms.
  • The second problem is that software like Mastodon and others promise private posts, without explaining what the risks are of using private posts, and that this depends on other servers behaving correctly. The Pixelfed vulnerability shows that these concerns are not theoretical or minor, but can happen to one of the biggest fediverse software/server.
  • The third problem is that when private data gets leaked, most fediverse server admins do not inform the people on their platform that they might have been affected by this.

It is still unclear to what the direct impact is of the Pixelfed vulnerability, and how many people’s private post have been accessed by others, and it’s unsure if that will ever be answered. But it is the indirect impact of the situation that I’m most interested in: will this change how people perceive private posts, and will it fediverse server admins take a clear position on when they should inform their users, and when the should not?

IFTAS’s post-mortem on their Content Classification System

IFTAS, the Independent Federated Trust And Safety organisation, has released a post mortem on their content classification system (CCS). The CCS project was a pilot project to detect and report CSAM for a small group of Mastodon servers, and lasted for half a year. The pilot was shut down after IFTAS did not manage to find the funding they were looking for, and the organisation had to shut down most of their projects this month.

CCS operated on 8 servers, which combined have around 30k monthly active users, and IFTAS found a total of 80 matches, averaging 4.29 matches per 100,000 media files. IFTAS writes:

“4.29 matches per 100,000 may not sound like a large number. However, to be clear, this is a higher number than many services would expect to see, and it includes a broad range of media, from “barely legal” minors posted publicly, to intimate imagery shared without consent, to the very, very worst media imaginable. In some cases, it was apparent that users were creating accounts on host services to transact or pre-sale media before moving to an encrypted platform, under the belief that Mastodon would not be able to detect the activity.”

The results show that there is a clear need for proper CSAM scanning and reporting services for the fediverse, and that IFTAS does not have the funding to provide such a service is a significant loss to the network.

On a note related to IFTAS’s funding: Erin Kissane gave a talk at the AT Protocol conference recently, in which she talked about ‘vernacular institutions’. She described vernacular institutions as emergent and local organisations, which solve practical needs on the ground. Kissane describes vernacular institutions as ‘more useful than legible’. She then mentions IFTAS as a clear example; it provides a need for local communities (as illustrated by the CCS project), but its illegibility made it hard for funding organisations to understand what IFTAS was doing and provide them with the funding they need.

Fediforum has been cancelled

Fediforum has been cancelled, to be rescheduled at a later date. The unconference about the fediverse and the open social web was scheduled for today and tomorrow, April 1-2. This was supposed to be the 5th edition of Fediforum, which consists of speed demos and sessions that anyone can run on any topic. Fediforum is organised by Johannes Erst, with Kaliya ‘IdentityWoman’ Young as the co-organiser. Transphobic tweets by Young had surfaced in the days leading up to the event, and various prominent community members announced that they were either withdrawing themselves from the event, or said that they personally would not want to go to the event. Ernst then announced on his personal account that Young would be “transitioning out of Fediforum”. A day later (March 31), the official Fediforum account confirmed that Young would no longer be involved. At this point, community trust in Ernst was damaged and the discourse had reached a harmful stage, and Ernst decided to cancel the unconference and reschedule it to a later date. WeDistribute has a more extensive writeup of the situation here.

An unconference like Fediforum depends to a large extent on community trust and good intentions, and it was clear that the vibe was not great for constructive conversation at the point that Ernst decided to postpone the event altogether. Still, Fediforum provided a great place for fediverse projects to do some promotion with the speed demos, and Fediforum said that they even had a waiting list for this edition. There is a clear demand for an (un)conference like Fediforum, but the fediverse has not managed to create other community events that allow people to showcase their fediverse project in the last few years, besides Fediforum itself.

At the time of publishing, Fediforum held a 90minute long townhall/roundtable discussion on the future of Fediforum and the broader issues. I’ll write more about this next week.

Pixelfed developer Daniel Supernault has only made minimal announcements, urging Pixelfed admins to upgrade, without further explanation to the people who are actually affected by the vulnerability. Personally I think Supernault should have handled communications significantly better. But it is the thousands of fediverse server admins who provide the actual social networking to people on their server. They are the ones who are offering a social networking site with a variety of features, including the ability to make private posts (as advertised by the Mastodon software), and are the ones who are responsible for handling the data of their users. I could only find one example of a server admin that has informed their users of the situation, even though it is the data of their users that is affected. I’m unclear if this is because the admins are not aware of what’s going on, or the admins view it as the responsibility of someone else to inform people that data they thought was private might potentially have been leaked.

Overall, it means that there actually three separate problems going on at the same time:

  • The first problem is that Pixelfed had a vulnerability which leaked private data from people on other platforms.
  • The second problem is that software like Mastodon and others promise private posts, without explaining what the risks are of using private posts, and that this depends on other servers behaving correctly. The Pixelfed vulnerability shows that these concerns are not theoretical or minor, but can happen to one of the biggest fediverse software/server.
  • The third problem is that when private data gets leaked, most fediverse server admins do not inform the people on their platform that they might have been affected by this.

It is still unclear to what the direct impact is of the Pixelfed vulnerability, and how many people’s private post have been accessed by others, and it’s unsure if that will ever be answered. But it is the indirect impact of the situation that I’m most interested in: will this change how people perceive private posts, and will it fediverse server admins take a clear position on when they should inform their users, and when the should not?

IFTAS’s post-mortem on their Content Classification System

IFTAS, the Independent Federated Trust And Safety organisation, has released a post mortem on their content classification system (CCS). The CCS project was a pilot project to detect and report CSAM for a small group of Mastodon servers, and lasted for half a year. The pilot was shut down after IFTAS did not manage to find the funding they were looking for, and the organisation had to shut down most of their projects this month.

CCS operated on 8 servers, which combined have around 30k monthly active users, and IFTAS found a total of 80 matches, averaging 4.29 matches per 100,000 media files. IFTAS writes:

“4.29 matches per 100,000 may not sound like a large number. However, to be clear, this is a higher number than many services would expect to see, and it includes a broad range of media, from “barely legal” minors posted publicly, to intimate imagery shared without consent, to the very, very worst media imaginable. In some cases, it was apparent that users were creating accounts on host services to transact or pre-sale media before moving to an encrypted platform, under the belief that Mastodon would not be able to detect the activity.”

The results show that there is a clear need for proper CSAM scanning and reporting services for the fediverse, and that IFTAS does not have the funding to provide such a service is a significant loss to the network.

On a note related to IFTAS’s funding: Erin Kissane gave a talk at the AT Protocol conference recently, in which she talked about ‘vernacular institutions’. She described vernacular institutions as emergent and local organisations, which solve practical needs on the ground. Kissane describes vernacular institutions as ‘more useful than legible’. She then mentions IFTAS as a clear example; it provides a need for local communities (as illustrated by the CCS project), but its illegibility made it hard for funding organisations to understand what IFTAS was doing and provide them with the funding they need.

Fediforum has been cancelled

Fediforum has been cancelled, to be rescheduled at a later date. The unconference about the fediverse and the open social web was scheduled for today and tomorrow, April 1-2. This was supposed to be the 5th edition of Fediforum, which consists of speed demos and sessions that anyone can run on any topic. Fediforum is organised by Johannes Erst, with Kaliya ‘IdentityWoman’ Young as the co-organiser. Transphobic tweets by Young had surfaced in the days leading up to the event, and various prominent community members announced that they were either withdrawing themselves from the event, or said that they personally would not want to go to the event. Ernst then announced on his personal account that Young would be “transitioning out of Fediforum”. A day later (March 31), the official Fediforum account confirmed that Young would no longer be involved. At this point, community trust in Ernst was damaged and the discourse had reached a harmful stage, and Ernst decided to cancel the unconference and reschedule it to a later date. WeDistribute has a more extensive writeup of the situation here.

An unconference like Fediforum depends to a large extent on community trust and good intentions, and it was clear that the vibe was not great for constructive conversation at the point that Ernst decided to postpone the event altogether. Still, Fediforum provided a great place for fediverse projects to do some promotion with the speed demos, and Fediforum said that they even had a waiting list for this edition. There is a clear demand for an (un)conference like Fediforum, but the fediverse has not managed to create other community events that allow people to showcase their fediverse project in the last few years, besides Fediforum itself.

At the time of publishing, Fediforum held a 90minute long townhall/roundtable discussion on the future of Fediforum and the broader issues. I’ll write more about this next week.

Fediverse Report – #110

A vulnerability in Pixelfed caused private posts from other platforms to leak, a post-mortem on the CSAM scanner from IFTAS, and Fediforum has been cancelled.

Pixelfed vulnerability impacts private posts across most of the fediverse

The fediverse suffered from a significant breach for private accounts, that affects the large majority of fediverse servers, due to a vulnerability in the Pixelfed software. What is notable about the situation is that the software vulnerability is in Pixelfed, but the affected accounts are not exclusive to Pixelfed: accounts on Mastodon and other fediverse software with a form of private accounts are also vulnerable. The vulnerability was found by the independent developer Fiona, who wrote a blog post about the vulnerability and the disclosure process.

To understand the situation, a short explanation of two features of Mastodon and some other fediverse microblogging software, locked accounts, and follower-only posts. Together these two features make it possible to have a form of private accounts. Locked accounts means that you cannot automatically follow that account, it has to be approved instead. Follower-only posts means that the post will only be displayed to your followers.

When a locked account approves a follower, follower-only posts now get send to the server that this follower is on. Because the receiving server now has this follower-only post in their database, they need to correctly handle whom they show this post to and whom they do not. If another account on the other server also tries to follow the locked account, but the locked account does not approve, this third account should not be able to see the messages. This is where Pixelfed’s vulnerability comes in: Pixelfed was not waiting for a confirmation if a follow request was approved, it assumed that it was automatically approved. That is how any private posts made on (almost) any fediverse server could be leaked: if a Pixelfed server already had the private post (because of someone of Pixelfed followed the locked account with approval), it would show it to anyone else who also tried to follow the locked account, even if the locked account rejected the follow request.

Pixelfed’s vulnerability points to deeper issues with the fediverse, activitypub and private posts. If all it takes to leak private messages is another server to be misconfigured, than it indicates the huge security risk inherent in private posts via ActivityPub. Even more so considering that the network incentivises and encourages people to build their own software implementations, which increases the risk of security vulnerability and other misconfigurations significantly. For simplicity I’ll focus here on Mastodon, although it also goes for other microblogging fediverse software that offers a combination of follower-only posts and locked accounts. At its core, private posts via ActivityPub requires to trust other servers. This is how ActivityPub works: your server sends posts to another server. There is no way to enforce that this other server respects your preference on how they should handle this post. If you do not trust another server to handle your data properly, the only way to deal with that is by not sending your post to that server.

When you make a follower-only post on Mastodon, the UI prompt warns you that followers-only posts without setting your account to locked allows anyone to view your posts by simply following you. The documentation for Mastodon also reinforces this, saying: “To effectively publish private (followers-only) posts, you must lock your account–otherwise, anyone could follow you to view older posts.” The documentation makes it clear that Mastodon views the combination of follower-only posts with a locked account as private posts. But nowhere is it made clear that these posts being private depends on other servers being good actors and not having an error in their code. So using private posts on Mastodon comes with the risk of the private posts being leaked due to flaws in other software, without people being aware of this risk.

Once a leak like this one happens, it is unclear who is responsible for communications with affected users. It was a flaw in Pixelfed that caused the vulnerability, but it is other people on other fediverse servers that are affected. Pixelfed developer Daniel Supernault has only made minimal announcements, urging Pixelfed admins to upgrade, without further explanation to the people who are actually affected by the vulnerability. Personally I think Supernault should have handled communications significantly better. But it is the thousands of fediverse server admins who provide the actual social networking to people on their server.

Pixelfed before v0.12.5 has a vulnerability where it could leak your private posts, regardless of whether you are a Pixelfed user or not.
Admins should update ASAP.

When following someone from a different server on the Fediverse, the remote server decides whether you are allowed to do that. This enables features like locked accounts. Due to an implementation mistake, Pixelfed ignores this and allows anyone to follow even private accounts on other servers. If a legitimate user from a Pixelfed instance follows you on your locked account, anyone on that Pixelfed instance can read your private posts.

I wrote a blog post about how I found the vulnerability, how disclosure coordination went and general ramblings about Fediverse safety:

Update after April 2.

I was able to determine that, at least, my social security is still intact! But still no deposit as of yet, but the good news is thanks to the I was able to cover April's rent and deposit will resume in May! I am 99% sure I was the casualty of some rapid database breaking somewhere. I probably won't update this post again, but if you do have social security, the best thing I can tell you is to prepare for what happened to me, to happen to you as well.

This means downloading all previous records and statements while you still can. No telling if it will help you, as a *LOT* of people in my country really really want social security to be privatize and this means purging just because they need to be so called efficient. People in my country *want* social security to run like a business rather than a public good, so make it easier to sue them if they deny you in the future, and this means keeping any documentation you can.

See earlier post below.

On April 1 I Woke up to no social security deposit and I use that to pay rent.

Thanks to the Fedi, April rent has been paid for! My social security is still intact, and I was told deposit would resume in May.

There was no notification, no email, no letter from Social Security, and this was a scary thing to wake up to!

Even though April is covered, I still need mutual aid as a preemptive measure.

Migrated to my own Mastodon. Looks like 27 followers haven't made it here yet, let's see if they arrive later.

I was planning to write my own ActivityPub server, and I even made some progress, but I didn't want to have a non-functional profile in the meantime, so Mastodon it is.

Hi folks, I'm trying to jumpstart federation on my little gotosocial instance and get a more full feed of things to read and interact with.

I could use your help. If you could boost this, I would appreciate it. If you see this and favorite it, I will follow you if your interests seem to align with mine.

I'm not asking for follows... rather I'm asking for you to help me shout out into the ether that I'M looking for people to follow. My main interests are going to be hashtagged below.

By the way, the way hashtags work here is that currently, if I search, I only see what my server is already knows about... which would mean just the folks I follow, since I'm a single-user instance. Not very helpful 😂

I will also be using one of my apps that can load the main feed from other servers, to see if I see something interesting. If you see a follow from me and come here to check me out... I mean you no harm and I come in peace.

Thanks all!

Hello @MastodonEngineering,

I wanted to share some feedback on the documentation provided in the Highlighting Journalism on Mastodon blog post.

Specifically, in The technical section, the example code for the fediverse:creator meta tag is given as:

<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@Gargron@mastodon.social" />

Based on my testing (and that of others), Mastodon doesn't seem to recognize the creator link correctly when the leading @ is present in the content attribute. It only works when the @ is removed, like this:

<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="Gargron@mastodon.social" />

Following the blog's example directly led to some wasted time figuring out why it wasn't working. It would be great if either the example in the blog post could be corrected to reflect the current requirement, or if Mastodon's parser could be made more flexible to accept the handle with or without the leading @.

Appreciate all you do for !

Hello @MastodonEngineering,

I wanted to share some feedback on the documentation provided in the Highlighting Journalism on Mastodon blog post.

Specifically, in The technical section, the example code for the fediverse:creator meta tag is given as:

<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="@Gargron@mastodon.social" />

Based on my testing (and that of others), Mastodon doesn't seem to recognize the creator link correctly when the leading @ is present in the content attribute. It only works when the @ is removed, like this:

<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="Gargron@mastodon.social" />

Following the blog's example directly led to some wasted time figuring out why it wasn't working. It would be great if either the example in the blog post could be corrected to reflect the current requirement, or if Mastodon's parser could be made more flexible to accept the handle with or without the leading @.

Appreciate all you do for !

Fedify: an ActivityPub server framework's avatar
Fedify: an ActivityPub server framework

@fedify@hollo.social

We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.5.0! This version brings several significant improvements to performance, configurability, and developer experience. Let's dive into what's new:

Two-Stage Fan-out Architecture for Efficient Activity Delivery

now implements a smart fan-out mechanism for delivering activities to large audiences. This change is particularly valuable for accounts with many followers. When sending activities to many recipients, Fedify now creates a single consolidated message containing the activity payload and recipient list, which a background worker then processes to re-enqueue individual delivery tasks.

This architectural improvement delivers several benefits: Context.sendActivity() returns almost instantly even with thousands of recipients, memory consumption is dramatically reduced by avoiding payload duplication, UI responsiveness improves since web requests complete quickly, and the system maintains reliability with independent retry logic for each delivery.

For specific requirements, we've added a new fanout option with three settings:

// Configuring fan-out behavior
await ctx.sendActivity(
  { identifier: "alice" },
  recipients,
  activity,
  { fanout: "auto" }  // Default: automatic based on recipient count
  // Other options: "skip" (never use fan-out) or "force" (always use fan-out)
);

Canonical Origin Support for Multi-Domain Setups

You can now explicitly configure a canonical origin for your server, which is especially useful for multi-domain setups. This feature allows you to set different domains for WebFinger handles and URIs, configured through the new origin option in createFederation(). This enhancement prevents unexpected URL construction when requests bypass proxies and improves security by ensuring consistent domain usage.

const federation = createFederation({
  // Use example.com for handles but ap.example.com for ActivityPub URIs
  origin: {
    handleHost: "example.com",
    webOrigin: "https://ap.example.com",
  },
  // Other options...
});

Optional Followers Collection Synchronization

Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now opt-in rather than automatic. This feature must now be explicitly enabled through the syncCollection option, giving developers more control over when to include followers collection digests. This change improves network efficiency by reducing unnecessary synchronization traffic.

await ctx.sendActivity(
  { identifier: sender },
  "followers",
  activity,
  { 
    preferSharedInbox: true,
    syncCollection: true,  // Explicitly enable collection synchronization
  }
);

Enhanced Key Format Compatibility

Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.

Improved Key Selection Logic

The key selection process is now more intelligent. The fetchKey() function can now select the public key of an actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. This enhancement simplifies key handling in common scenarios and provides better compatibility with implementations that don't specify fragment identifiers.

New Authorization Options

Authorization handling has been enhanced with new options for the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and getSignedKeyOwner() methods. This provides more flexible control over authentication and authorization flows. We've deprecated older parameter-based approaches in favor of the more flexible method-based approach.

Efficient Bulk Message Queueing

Message queue performance is improved with bulk operations. We've added an optional enqueueMany() method to the MessageQueue interface, enabling efficient queueing of multiple messages in a single operation. This reduces overhead when processing batches of activities. All our message queue implementations have been updated to support this new operation:

If you're using any of these packages, make sure to update them alongside Fedify to take advantage of the more efficient bulk message queueing.

CLI Improvements

The Fedify command-line tools have been enhanced with an improved web interface for the fedify inbox command. We've added the Fedify logo with the cute dinosaur at the top of the page and made it easier to copy the fediverse handle of the ephemeral actor. We've also fixed issues with the web interface when installed via deno install from JSR.

Additional Improvements and Bug Fixes

  • Updated dependencies, including @js-temporal/polyfill to 0.5.0 for Node.js and Bun
  • Fixed bundler errors with uri-template-router on Rollup
  • Improved error handling and logging for document loader when KV store operations fail
  • Added more log messages using the LogTape library
  • Internalized the multibase package for better maintenance and compatibility

For the complete list of changes, please refer to the changelog.

To update to Fedify 1.5.0, run:

# For Deno
deno add jsr:@fedify/fedify@1.5.0

# For npm
npm  add     @fedify/fedify@1.5.0

# For Bun
bun  add     @fedify/fedify@1.5.0

Thank you to all contributors who helped make this release possible!

I received a heartwarming about today!

@bgl shared in the FediDev KR Discord server:

I had trouble finding good resources explaining ActivityPub, but after reading through the Fedify docs from start to finish, I feel like I've actually digested it.

They also posted on their Hackers' Pub:

If you want to learn ActivityPub efficiently, just read the Fedify docs from beginning to end.

This makes all the documentation work worthwhile. Glad our docs are helping people understand not just Fedify, but itself.

The ActivityPub specification does not have an example of the "sharedInbox" field in use.

Although it does say "An optional endpoint..." — I suspect a lot of people won't know (with confidence) that it can go under the "endpoints" field. For example:

"endpoints": {
"sharedInbox": "https://social.example/inbox"
},

Especially if the person is still trying to understand ActivityPub, and isn't aware of the "endpoints" field yet.

sharedInbox

An optional endpoint used for wide delivery of publicly addressed activities and activities sent to followers. sharedInbox endpoints SHOULD also be publicly readable OrderedCollection objects containing objects addressed to the Public special collection. Reading from the sharedInbox endpoint MUST NOT present objects which are not addressed to the Public endpoint.

A reasonable ActivityPub / ActivityStreams API to schedule something to be posted in the future might be — to HTTP POST something to an account's outbox with the `published` field set to a date-time in the future.

Currently, the way I am determining if content is valid ActivityPub / ActivityStreams content is —

№1:

Determining if it is valid JSON.

№2:

Checking if it has a "type" field.

And that is it.

Dealing with JSON-LD would be easier in many ways if everything was defined inline.

Rather than having to get the content from a URL in the context, parse it, etc.

A reminder, the Fediverse cost money.

Yes, it is free for YOU to use, but your local administrator pays for domain registration, web hosting, storage space, CDN, and of course, bandwidth.

The busier and more active your Fedi site, the most it cost.

If you are able, consider reaching out to your admin, and asking how you can help. Even small contributions add up and make a difference.

Quite meta of me, but just for fun, I finished a instalove romance with a HEA between John Mastodon and the Fediverse Chick, but in my story she's called Jane Mastodon. Could anyone beta read? Spice is on page, and explicit, but the synopsis is below.

John Mastodon has just been fired from his job at Twitter. Tired of living in the city, he spots an online ad for a small town called ActivityPub and decides to take a chance on this new town and its inhabitance. Jane Mastodon has a simple job. She's a firefighter. She used to work for a corporate phone company but gave that up to be one of the many pillars of this community that calls themselves the Fediverse. Jane is lonely, and her newly dubbed nickname, the Fediverse chick, plays into so many misconceptions that guys get the wrong idea and pursue her without really seeing her. One day, she plows into John Mastodon at the store, wherein they have an instant connection. Even though their connection is fresh and vibrant, it isn't smooth sailing for both of them. Can they learn to love again after both have been knocked down by life? this story is 20,000 words with a happy ending, a cat named Goldfish, a diverse cast of side characters, brief on page smut, and no miscommunication but there is drama. I’d like beta readers. Is anyone interested?

I hear is glitching again and I wonder if the frequency of concentrated attacks is increasing. I think once they get over this wall, they will be a very strong centralized platform, but when they get over the wall, people may have left the place.

Ich habe mich mal testweise an Ghost herangetraut und wollte die ActivityPub-Funktion testen. Wer mag, kann meinen Erfahrungsbericht dazu auf meinem Blog lesen.

Fedify: an ActivityPub server framework

@fedify@hollo.social

We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.5.0! This version brings several significant improvements to performance, configurability, and developer experience. Let's dive into what's new:

Two-Stage Fan-out Architecture for Efficient Activity Delivery

now implements a smart fan-out mechanism for delivering activities to large audiences. This change is particularly valuable for accounts with many followers. When sending activities to many recipients, Fedify now creates a single consolidated message containing the activity payload and recipient list, which a background worker then processes to re-enqueue individual delivery tasks.

This architectural improvement delivers several benefits: Context.sendActivity() returns almost instantly even with thousands of recipients, memory consumption is dramatically reduced by avoiding payload duplication, UI responsiveness improves since web requests complete quickly, and the system maintains reliability with independent retry logic for each delivery.

For specific requirements, we've added a new fanout option with three settings:

// Configuring fan-out behavior
await ctx.sendActivity(
  { identifier: "alice" },
  recipients,
  activity,
  { fanout: "auto" }  // Default: automatic based on recipient count
  // Other options: "skip" (never use fan-out) or "force" (always use fan-out)
);

Canonical Origin Support for Multi-Domain Setups

You can now explicitly configure a canonical origin for your server, which is especially useful for multi-domain setups. This feature allows you to set different domains for WebFinger handles and URIs, configured through the new origin option in createFederation(). This enhancement prevents unexpected URL construction when requests bypass proxies and improves security by ensuring consistent domain usage.

const federation = createFederation({
  // Use example.com for handles but ap.example.com for ActivityPub URIs
  origin: {
    handleHost: "example.com",
    webOrigin: "https://ap.example.com",
  },
  // Other options...
});

Optional Followers Collection Synchronization

Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now opt-in rather than automatic. This feature must now be explicitly enabled through the syncCollection option, giving developers more control over when to include followers collection digests. This change improves network efficiency by reducing unnecessary synchronization traffic.

await ctx.sendActivity(
  { identifier: sender },
  "followers",
  activity,
  { 
    preferSharedInbox: true,
    syncCollection: true,  // Explicitly enable collection synchronization
  }
);

Enhanced Key Format Compatibility

Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.

Improved Key Selection Logic

The key selection process is now more intelligent. The fetchKey() function can now select the public key of an actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. This enhancement simplifies key handling in common scenarios and provides better compatibility with implementations that don't specify fragment identifiers.

New Authorization Options

Authorization handling has been enhanced with new options for the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and getSignedKeyOwner() methods. This provides more flexible control over authentication and authorization flows. We've deprecated older parameter-based approaches in favor of the more flexible method-based approach.

Efficient Bulk Message Queueing

Message queue performance is improved with bulk operations. We've added an optional enqueueMany() method to the MessageQueue interface, enabling efficient queueing of multiple messages in a single operation. This reduces overhead when processing batches of activities. All our message queue implementations have been updated to support this new operation:

If you're using any of these packages, make sure to update them alongside Fedify to take advantage of the more efficient bulk message queueing.

CLI Improvements

The Fedify command-line tools have been enhanced with an improved web interface for the fedify inbox command. We've added the Fedify logo with the cute dinosaur at the top of the page and made it easier to copy the fediverse handle of the ephemeral actor. We've also fixed issues with the web interface when installed via deno install from JSR.

Additional Improvements and Bug Fixes

  • Updated dependencies, including @js-temporal/polyfill to 0.5.0 for Node.js and Bun
  • Fixed bundler errors with uri-template-router on Rollup
  • Improved error handling and logging for document loader when KV store operations fail
  • Added more log messages using the LogTape library
  • Internalized the multibase package for better maintenance and compatibility

For the complete list of changes, please refer to the changelog.

To update to Fedify 1.5.0, run:

# For Deno
deno add jsr:@fedify/fedify@1.5.0

# For npm
npm  add     @fedify/fedify@1.5.0

# For Bun
bun  add     @fedify/fedify@1.5.0

Thank you to all contributors who helped make this release possible!

A reminder, the Fediverse cost money.

Yes, it is free for YOU to use, but your local administrator pays for domain registration, web hosting, storage space, CDN, and of course, bandwidth.

The busier and more active your Fedi site, the most it cost.

If you are able, consider reaching out to your admin, and asking how you can help. Even small contributions add up and make a difference.

The needs to come up with something big if its to be a factor in the social, political and economic turmoil we go through, but its not clear it can, at least not in the short term.

The experience of both and reaffirms the simple fact that "luck" (unexpected developments) favors the prepared.

But being "prepared" is a resource intensive thing. Not lone developers, but well supported teams that can pursue risky ideas for at least 2-3 years. But thats non-trivial

@evan

Truth Social was born out of Mastodon :blobcatgoogly:
And so were a lot of extremist instances which are still active and popular.

The nature of the Fediverse and by extension most FOSS is that they are open and unrestrictive with their software access/usage.

On the other hand, it did also give rise to a lot of political groups from varying parts of the political spectrum.

I think so social media platforms shouldn't lean towards one side of the spectrum. A diverse set of views and opinions should be welcome. But it almost never is the case. Each platform is known for having one kind of bias or the other.

Take Bluesky, it's filled with Left-leaning people who left Twitter because of Musk/Trump. There's a homogeneity to the politics of the opinions shared over there. Some would call it an "Echo Chamber."

Truth Social- Only MAGA idiots.

X- a bit of both.

Fediverse- Depends on the instance. :) One can interact with all kinds of people here, and I think that's a good thing as far as exposure & bias is concerned.

I had trouble finding good resources explaining ActivityPub, but after reading through the Fedify docs from start to finish, I feel like I've actually digested it.

They also posted on their Hackers' Pub:

If you want to learn ActivityPub efficiently, just read the Fedify docs from beginning to end.

This makes all the documentation work worthwhile. Glad our docs are helping people understand not just Fedify, but itself.

Good morning! Today is a bit of a grey and rainy day, which feels like the perfect pretext to share this illustration!

Prints available 🐸 evanskyarts.com 🐸 (now 10% off with the code BDAY10 !)

A frog is peeking out of the water, hands resting on a lily pad. A higher lily pad shelters it from the soft rain, but a sunbeam seems to have made its way through the clouds, hitting the sad looking frog. 
The frog is surrounded with blooming water lilies and many other plants, growing in and around the pond contained by red bricks and rocks, all dripping with water, as well as many critters such as snails, slugs and dragonflies. You can almost year the soft sound of rain.

Today is the International Open Hackerspace Day! 👾

I didn’t know about this (thank you for sharing your discovery, @liaizon), but it’s a wonderful coincidence that this very day at 15:00 I’ll be hosting Knitting Our Internet at the newly open SCIFT Makespace! The workshop will most probably be in Italian, but we’ll be open to switch to English if non-Italian speakers are coming.

See this event on Balotta, the local Gancio instance for Bologna 🤘

This is going to be the last stop of the Knitting Our Internet Italy Tour. After the workshop, I’m going to Queen Of Saba’s concert, in case you want to join and see one of the most incredible (and my favorite) artists!

A graphic in Italian, with red background.

Fedify: an ActivityPub server framework's avatar
Fedify: an ActivityPub server framework

@fedify@hollo.social

We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.5.0! This version brings several significant improvements to performance, configurability, and developer experience. Let's dive into what's new:

Two-Stage Fan-out Architecture for Efficient Activity Delivery

now implements a smart fan-out mechanism for delivering activities to large audiences. This change is particularly valuable for accounts with many followers. When sending activities to many recipients, Fedify now creates a single consolidated message containing the activity payload and recipient list, which a background worker then processes to re-enqueue individual delivery tasks.

This architectural improvement delivers several benefits: Context.sendActivity() returns almost instantly even with thousands of recipients, memory consumption is dramatically reduced by avoiding payload duplication, UI responsiveness improves since web requests complete quickly, and the system maintains reliability with independent retry logic for each delivery.

For specific requirements, we've added a new fanout option with three settings:

// Configuring fan-out behavior
await ctx.sendActivity(
  { identifier: "alice" },
  recipients,
  activity,
  { fanout: "auto" }  // Default: automatic based on recipient count
  // Other options: "skip" (never use fan-out) or "force" (always use fan-out)
);

Canonical Origin Support for Multi-Domain Setups

You can now explicitly configure a canonical origin for your server, which is especially useful for multi-domain setups. This feature allows you to set different domains for WebFinger handles and URIs, configured through the new origin option in createFederation(). This enhancement prevents unexpected URL construction when requests bypass proxies and improves security by ensuring consistent domain usage.

const federation = createFederation({
  // Use example.com for handles but ap.example.com for ActivityPub URIs
  origin: {
    handleHost: "example.com",
    webOrigin: "https://ap.example.com",
  },
  // Other options...
});

Optional Followers Collection Synchronization

Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now opt-in rather than automatic. This feature must now be explicitly enabled through the syncCollection option, giving developers more control over when to include followers collection digests. This change improves network efficiency by reducing unnecessary synchronization traffic.

await ctx.sendActivity(
  { identifier: sender },
  "followers",
  activity,
  { 
    preferSharedInbox: true,
    syncCollection: true,  // Explicitly enable collection synchronization
  }
);

Enhanced Key Format Compatibility

Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.

Improved Key Selection Logic

The key selection process is now more intelligent. The fetchKey() function can now select the public key of an actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. This enhancement simplifies key handling in common scenarios and provides better compatibility with implementations that don't specify fragment identifiers.

New Authorization Options

Authorization handling has been enhanced with new options for the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and getSignedKeyOwner() methods. This provides more flexible control over authentication and authorization flows. We've deprecated older parameter-based approaches in favor of the more flexible method-based approach.

Efficient Bulk Message Queueing

Message queue performance is improved with bulk operations. We've added an optional enqueueMany() method to the MessageQueue interface, enabling efficient queueing of multiple messages in a single operation. This reduces overhead when processing batches of activities. All our message queue implementations have been updated to support this new operation:

If you're using any of these packages, make sure to update them alongside Fedify to take advantage of the more efficient bulk message queueing.

CLI Improvements

The Fedify command-line tools have been enhanced with an improved web interface for the fedify inbox command. We've added the Fedify logo with the cute dinosaur at the top of the page and made it easier to copy the fediverse handle of the ephemeral actor. We've also fixed issues with the web interface when installed via deno install from JSR.

Additional Improvements and Bug Fixes

  • Updated dependencies, including @js-temporal/polyfill to 0.5.0 for Node.js and Bun
  • Fixed bundler errors with uri-template-router on Rollup
  • Improved error handling and logging for document loader when KV store operations fail
  • Added more log messages using the LogTape library
  • Internalized the multibase package for better maintenance and compatibility

For the complete list of changes, please refer to the changelog.

We’re excited to announce that, from Monday, we’re going to be the new admins of IndieWeb.social!

We’ve always loved how @tchambers has run IndieWeb.social. His direction has made it one of the best instances on the Fediverse!

Thanks to Tim for his trust in us to provide a safe and secure home for the server into the future.

We're excited to announce the release of Fedify 1.5.0! This version brings several significant improvements to performance, configurability, and developer experience. Let's dive into what's new:

Two-Stage Fan-out Architecture for Efficient Activity Delivery

now implements a smart fan-out mechanism for delivering activities to large audiences. This change is particularly valuable for accounts with many followers. When sending activities to many recipients, Fedify now creates a single consolidated message containing the activity payload and recipient list, which a background worker then processes to re-enqueue individual delivery tasks.

This architectural improvement delivers several benefits: Context.sendActivity() returns almost instantly even with thousands of recipients, memory consumption is dramatically reduced by avoiding payload duplication, UI responsiveness improves since web requests complete quickly, and the system maintains reliability with independent retry logic for each delivery.

For specific requirements, we've added a new fanout option with three settings:

// Configuring fan-out behavior
await ctx.sendActivity(
  { identifier: "alice" },
  recipients,
  activity,
  { fanout: "auto" }  // Default: automatic based on recipient count
  // Other options: "skip" (never use fan-out) or "force" (always use fan-out)
);

Canonical Origin Support for Multi-Domain Setups

You can now explicitly configure a canonical origin for your server, which is especially useful for multi-domain setups. This feature allows you to set different domains for WebFinger handles and URIs, configured through the new origin option in createFederation(). This enhancement prevents unexpected URL construction when requests bypass proxies and improves security by ensuring consistent domain usage.

const federation = createFederation({
  // Use example.com for handles but ap.example.com for ActivityPub URIs
  origin: {
    handleHost: "example.com",
    webOrigin: "https://ap.example.com",
  },
  // Other options...
});

Optional Followers Collection Synchronization

Followers collection synchronization (FEP-8fcf) is now opt-in rather than automatic. This feature must now be explicitly enabled through the syncCollection option, giving developers more control over when to include followers collection digests. This change improves network efficiency by reducing unnecessary synchronization traffic.

await ctx.sendActivity(
  { identifier: sender },
  "followers",
  activity,
  { 
    preferSharedInbox: true,
    syncCollection: true,  // Explicitly enable collection synchronization
  }
);

Enhanced Key Format Compatibility

Key format support has been expanded for better interoperability. Fedify now accepts PEM-PKCS format in addition to PEM-SPKI for RSA public keys. We've added importPkcs1() and importPem() functions for additional flexibility, which improves compatibility with a wider range of ActivityPub implementations.

Improved Key Selection Logic

The key selection process is now more intelligent. The fetchKey() function can now select the public key of an actor if keyId has no fragment and the actor has only one public key. This enhancement simplifies key handling in common scenarios and provides better compatibility with implementations that don't specify fragment identifiers.

New Authorization Options

Authorization handling has been enhanced with new options for the RequestContext.getSignedKey() and getSignedKeyOwner() methods. This provides more flexible control over authentication and authorization flows. We've deprecated older parameter-based approaches in favor of the more flexible method-based approach.

Efficient Bulk Message Queueing

Message queue performance is improved with bulk operations. We've added an optional enqueueMany() method to the MessageQueue interface, enabling efficient queueing of multiple messages in a single operation. This reduces overhead when processing batches of activities. All our message queue implementations have been updated to support this new operation:

If you're using any of these packages, make sure to update them alongside Fedify to take advantage of the more efficient bulk message queueing.

CLI Improvements

The Fedify command-line tools have been enhanced with an improved web interface for the fedify inbox command. We've added the Fedify logo with the cute dinosaur at the top of the page and made it easier to copy the fediverse handle of the ephemeral actor. We've also fixed issues with the web interface when installed via deno install from JSR.
