@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu how did you try disabling locales?
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu In version 1.0.2-alpha.6 you should be able to set COMPILE_ALL_LOCALES=no in env

hey @Bonfire ! i saw this thread and thought you might be interested. there are currently solutions like OpenTracks for tracking physical activity statistics, but none have direct integration with ActivityPub for social sharing. A bonfire extension to integrate with an existing activity tracker could help many cyclists, hikers, runners, and more activity clubs migrate from Strava to communities on the fediverse 
That'd be a cool extension indeed! Have you also looked at wanderer.to ?
Anyone know the next place to look for what might be requesting these, or force them to be generated in turn rather than (it appears) concurrently?
Context: I don't know elixir, but for reasons I'm running my own @bonfire@indieweb.social instance on bare metal and I'm happy to mess in source code if needed.
@mavnn@bonfire.mavnn.eu how did you try disabling locales?
"sabato 24 gennaio mobilitazioni in tutto il mondo per difendere la rivoluzione del Rojava e il progetto del confederalismo democratico. Non è un appello rituale, né una convocazione simbolica. È una richiesta urgente di solidarietà mentre Kobane è di nuovo accerchiata, mentre la linea del fronte si avvicina e l’esperimento politico più avanzato mai nato in Medio Oriente rischia di essere schiacciato sotto il peso combinato di eserciti regolari, milizie jihadiste e cinismo geopolitico."

Bonfire shared inbox usage
Hi @mayel@sunbeam.city, does Bonfire utilise the sharedInbox value?
I noticed this come through my nginx logs today:
128.140.127.206 - - [21/Jan/2026:19:58:04 +0000] "POST /uid/1/inbox HTTP/1.1" 500 128 "-" "https://btfree.social - Bonfire ActivityPub federation" "-"
/uid/1/inbox is an endpoint specified in my user's inbox, but that actor also sends "endpoints":{"sharedInbox":"https://activitypub.space/inbox"}, so wanted to double-check that Bonfire uses it.

/uid/1/inbox is an endpoint specified in my user's inbox, but that actor also sends "endpoints":{"sharedInbox":"https://activitypub.space/inbox"}, so wanted to double-check that Bonfire uses it. It should, it helps reduce the number of requests to send if multiple users belong to the same server 
@julian@activitypub.space Hi yes we send to sharedInbox when there's more than one recipient on that instance, otherwise direct to to the user's inbox.
Amazing. W (I kid you not): A bunch of VC-funded European Big Tech assholes attempting to rewrite history by erasing the federated European alternatives that already exist to create their own centralised, surveillance-ridden X clone.
Same shit, different flag.
And I’m sure the usual fools will flock to it the moment it’s ready.
Fuck these people.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @nicolasvivant@colter.social i thought it was a meme 🫠
btw also bluesky is lobbying quite hard in EU afaik
In a new analysis by Corporate Europe Observatory and LobbyControl, we trace Big Tech's fingerprints on the Digital Omnibus proposals - a major deregulation of EU digital laws including the GDPR and the AI Act. They are helped in this attempt by the Trump administration and the European far right.
Hi everyone! We’re excited to share some updates:
Bonfire 1.0.1 is out! 🎉
This release is all about making your social web experience livelier, more connected, and truly yours. It brings features like following hashtags, scheduled posts, dashboard widgets, and more. This is the very first delivery from the maintenance work funded by your incredible support. Thank you for helping us reach this milestone and keep Bonfire thriving!
For details about the release see our latest blog post: Bonfire 1.0.1: Building Momentum
What’s next for crowdfunding?
If you're an existing backer, the pledge manager is now open. Please keep an eye out for updates there so we can start preparing rewards for you.
The campaign is open again for the next month. With core maintenance funded, every new pledge (or increased pledge from existing backers) now goes directly toward our first stretch goal: federated groups. Support or share our extended campaign to help fund community-owned, cross-instance spaces for real collaboration and self-governance.
Bonus good news: Thanks to a new grant, end-to-end encrypted messaging in Bonfire is now funded and in development!
Thank you once again for being part of the Bonfire movement! Your feedback, support, and community spirit make all of this possible. If you have questions or want to get involved, reach out or come say hello at FOSDEM if you’re in Brussels at the end of January!
With gratitude,
The Bonfire Team

If you like your sci-fi grounded in present day reality, I urge you to pre-order this. Sublimation is sublime.
@Edent@mastodon.social love your book reviews, i have in my list "How to speak whale" and "The bees" because of you, but i'm tempted to read this one first now 😊
@snowborn@mastodon.green @Casey@theforkiverse.com would be great to experiment 😊
More news about community features in the coming weeks!
@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!
Hello @ivan@bonfire.cafe, I have been testing Bonfire using this instance as a live environment, and it seems that the alpha .41 has problems threading activities.
If a user posts a reply to another user that's never been fetched, after fetching remote activities the parent reply shows up on the creator's profile but not in the thread.
Also, Bonfire does not progressively backfill context in a thread, nor will it search for new context if no one on the server follows anyone involved.
@PetroleumPredator@indieweb.studio yeah it's quite an outdated version, we are shipping the 1.0.1 which solved the bugs you are experiencing
@ntnsndr@social.coop happy to chat, i've been part of it for most of the time...
@mayel@sunbeam.city @Stacco@social.coop
that's a great splash screen to start a documentary

How many Fediverse software use Markdown as its default text format — rather than HTML?
I think both PeerTube and Lemmy are Markdown native — rather than HTML.
Anything else?

Has anyone ever given a #TED talk that could mentor me? I'd like to know how to submit a presentation that actually interests them, how to do the presentation, and what comes after.
what are some trusted resources to follow iranian news?
Should you find one, I'm curious if it requires use of its own web site or if it supports Mastodon API clients like GoToSocial.

@osma@mas.to @maikel@vmst.io mastodon api are in development github.com/bonfire-networks/...
Does anyone here know of a running Bonfire instance that has federation actually activated?
I want to try different platforms see if any other Activity Pub implementation makes better use of the actual protocol.
Already tried Sharkey, Pixelfed, Hubzilla, Friendica, GoToSocial and Akkoma.
@maikel@vmst.io we use it as our individual and project presence
