I'm playing around with Offer activities in Fedify. The AP Vocab provides this, easy peasy.
✅ Alice OFFERS Book to Bob
✅ Bob ACCEPTS Alice's OFFER
Or:
✅ Bob OFFERS Rotten Tomato to Alice
❌ Alice REJECTS Bob's OFFER
----------------
But I'm not clear if this is right:
❓Alice ANNOUNCES OFFER of Labubu to Followers?
❓Bob OFFERS $10 for Labubu to Alice?
❓ Alice ACCEPTS Bob's OFFER of $10 for Labubu?
✅ Alice OFFERS Labubu to Bob
✅ Bob ACCEPTS Labubu
@smallcircles@social.coop @box464@mastodon.social oh super interesting!
@Bonfire I would like to support your current crowdfunding campaign but I do not want anything in return; also I do not want to share my postal address with Indiegogo. Is there a way I can just donate?
@smeikx@graz.social you can do so here, thanks! opencollective.com/bonfire-n...
@buzz maestro, gradisce un po' di cocaina?
@gino@sip.masto.host @buzz@sip.masto.host cé continuità!🤣
@liaizon@social.wake.st definitely! we're doing a presentation at the decentralised communication FOSDEM room tomorrow with that goal in mind!

🚄 The Bonfire team is rolling into Brussels for FOSDEM 2026!
Come find us at one of Europe’s biggest free software gatherings, with over 8,000 people, dozens of devrooms, and all things open source. We’re giving two talks this weekend (and both will be livestreamed at the links below, so you can join from anywhere, with recordings up afterward):
Building Modular, Consentful, and Federated Social Networks
🎥 Social Web devroom
🗓️ Saturday, Jan 31st, 17:10–17:30 CET
🌐 Local time where you are
Modular Communication Tools on the Open Social Web
🎥 Decentralised Communication devroom
🗓️ Sunday, Feb 1st, 14:45–15:15 CET
🌐 Local time where you are
We’ll be sharing more about the why and how of Bonfire and our ecosystem, hands-on demos, announcing new alliances, and real stories from communities using Bonfire today.
We can’t wait to connect with the open source and fediverse crowd, swap ideas, and meet anyone passionate about building healthier, more flexible, and consentful digital spaces. Whether you’re a developer, community organiser, or just fediverse-curious, come say hi!
FYI today's talk was moved 10 minutes earlier to 17:10 CET

We have our #CoSocial January Assembly this Thursday, Jan 29 @ 5 PT | 6 MT | 7 CT | 8 ET.
We have two topics:
🧤 Demoing services we offer our members:
Phanpy http://phanpy.cosocial.ca/
and Hedgedoc for collaborative notetaking https://pad.cosocial.info/
🧤 Launching Bonfire as an experiment rather than stable service for members to explore
RSVP: https://luma.com/hze3hdoe
Notes: https://members.cosocial.ca/t/january-cosocial-assembly-january-29-2026/797
@coop@cosocial.ca awesome! Eaeger to read notes from your #bonfire explorations ☺️
@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.
@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
RE: https://mastodon.social/@Edent/115916125220435439
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!
