A while back I mentioned the idea of “Fedify Studio”—a web-based toolkit for #ActivityPub debugging and development. I've been quietly working on shaping that idea into something more concrete.

Nothing to announce yet, but it's looking like this might become a team effort rather than a solo project, which would be nice. We'll see how it goes.

I forgot how tedious it is to chase code coverage when writing tests.

However this was part of the reason that made me include the "boring" parts of building a robust library into the goals set for the #nlnet grant.

So after a couple of days of work I finally got the first of the storage backends for the #GoActivityPub library go past 80% test coverage.

I hope I can reuse some of the test logic in the other backends, as they need to perform identically.

In the past I've coded lots of things for blocking various things, which is all about excluding what we don't want.

I'm finding it much harder to think of ways to attract and promote things we DO want.

In an ideal utopia we'd be making social media that makes people feel better. Not neutral or the same as before and certainly not worse than before. I don't think we can get there by excluding bad things, we need to be including/nurturing/promoting good things too.

I have added Mastodon-style (FEP-044f) quote post compatibility to my @DailyRucks bot. You can now quote post the daily voice lines as much as you want! 🥳

This would be noteworthy on its own if there weren't already a bunch of non-Mastodon implementations, but I'm actually late to the party. WordPress, Bonfire, micro.blog, dotmakeup, and ActivityBot all got there before I did.

However, I think my approach is novel for being *stateless*. Thread incoming.

@bonfire have just released Bonfire v1.0 (big congratulations! 🥳) and are crowdfunding further development. Go help them out if you can!

I think the tools Bonfire offers are brilliant for both personal and institutional users alike, and will only strengthen the Fediverse.

Just opened an issue for a major new task for #Fedify: building an #interoperability smoke test suite.

To ensure Fedify-built servers federate correctly with the wider #fediverse, we're planning to run automated E2E tests in #CI against live instances of Mastodon, Misskey, and more. This is crucial for a framework's reliability.
