@phillycodehound@indieweb.social We’re adding Mastodon API support, which will let you use Bonfire through any compatible client app. Aiming to include it in version 1.0.2!

I've been giving lots of feedback to the @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe guys. They're taking things up SUPER fast. It's been absolutely incredible.
I recommend folks try out Bonfire, because it's honestly shaping up to be the one stop shop platform for social networking, consuming news, eventually handling calendar events, etc.
They just let me know about the new Git they just put up about Bonfire Widget suggestions. What would YOU want to see in Bonfire?
@danielk@pkm.social we're working on it 😊 github.com/bonfire-networks/...

…I’m particularly enthused about where Bonfire Networks may go with their Community app.
How amazing it will be to have an option that isn’t Facebook or Nextdoor

I have a friend who is aiming to do interesting things with several hundred Facebook groups he owns. The gist of it is to try and leverage one of the worst companies in the world as a platform for carbon drawdown. We may see this year if that has legs. More on that some time.
But obvs, that’s still using Facebook as a starting place.
One of the great things to look forward to in 2026 is what @Bonfire are building: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwZZKSXbWX4

“Yes, the Fediverse is sometimes clunky, nerdy, uncomfortable. But it belongs to us. It’s not over-regulated, not driven by capital, not buggered up by algorithms. It’s what social media once aspired to be: A network of people, not brands.“ Via @hildabast
Hey @mayel@bonfire.cafe . i followed you and @Bonfire@bonfire.cafe but sitting at Requested. I've seen this randomly. I know some folks need to approve follows. Didn't know if this was the case or there's a bug.
@ozoned@btfree.social @mayel we fixed the issue in recent alphas, tomorrow we will ship the 1.0.1 for you to upgrade! lot of improvement esp in regard of performance!!
It's nearly 2026 so, what better way to look ahead than a blog post 👀

Happy holidays, fediverse!
I got you a megathrust earthquake, soil liquefaction, spine-tingling papers about the way our networks confound knowledge, and a PDF in a pear tree. It's my wrap on a year of trying to make sense of how we make sense of what's happening to us.
@Bonfire Quick question. Seeing the social flavor hit 1.0 I was wondering if I were to deploy that flavor once other flavors become stable could I add them to the existing instance without the need to reinstall with fresh database?
@muppeth@fe.disroot.org yes, you can easly switch from one flavour to another

⭐️ @Bonfire is a wonderful initiative for friendly community building. The project is focused on making things easy for people to create meaningful spaces to organize. It has good federation support, so people can participate from across the different networks.
They've launched a campaign to help launch it to a wider audience: https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community
I like the install party level, looking forward to getting an instance running with others! #Bonfire #Crowdfunding #Fediverse #IndieWeb #OSS

I'm so psyched about @bonfire.bonfire.cafe.ap.brid.gy's work on making the open social internet good for real communities by putting in the culture work right from the very beginning. I'm a scavenger and a pragmatist *and also* I think the way we do things matters.

"Today we're releasing Bonfire Social 1.0: a federated community‑first social network and the modular toolkit that powers it: a framework for building apps on the open social web beyond microblogging. We're pairing the launch with a crowdfund so communities drive what we build next. "

Harry says the entire network — the Fediverse — is an exercise in cooperation. True! #sfscon #fediverse #fediforum

I wrote about tensions and troubles for Bluesky on @techpolicypress.bsky.social and then I wrote about the TPP piece on wrecka.ge and now I am posting about it the post on Bluesky. Look at this cloud.
