It was silent around progress on #federation in #forgejo .

The reason is - we found an issue - just in the last PR to merge. The reality showed us unexpected differences in implementations out in the wild.

If you are interested in the closer details and how we will proceed to nail down the issue, you can find here a short summary:

We will keep you informed here & every help is very welcome :-)

In that case, I have the perfect task for you (yes, you!): https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/9282

Retejo

I have been working on a new type of web-server for serving static web-sites.

I started working on it recently — on August 23rd. But, have had the idea for it for a number of years.

...

What is different about this web-server for static web-sites‽

Well, of course, it supports HTML.

But, it also supports Markdown, and ActivityPub natively!

Probably the biggest thing that motivated me to create Retejo now (as I've had the idea for this for a number of year) is —

So, I thought — what if I just ran my own web-server to server files from Codeberg.

And thus, Retejo was born.

But, while I am at it, I can also add automatic ActivityPub / ActivityStreams support to it.

№1:

The software powering Codeberg Pages seems like it isn't being maintained anymore beyond minor fixes

№2:

Although Codeberg is pretty reliable, Codeberg Pages doesn't that reliable.

So, I thought —

Although I've had a Codeberg account for a number of years — I recently started the process of migrating over to Codeberg (from GitHub).

Codeberg has something similar to GitHub Pages — called Codeberg Pages

One thing I am really looking forward to is the talk "Forgejo-aneksajo: a git-annex/DataLad forge" by Matthias Riße. In 2024 he briefly showed how git-annex could be integrated with #gitea during the unconference session. In the months after the conference, he ported this to #forgejo and now we have #forgejo-aneksajo deployments all over the place. A new centerpiece of the ecosystem.

Loudly shouting at Microsoft to stop forcing "AI" one Github users might lead to some sort of success. Until the next shiny thing comes along.

I took stock, understood what is really happening, that you are accepting to be locked in to a walled garden that you do not control.

So I silently packed up my stuff a while ago and moved to a place and community that accepts, respects and defends my freedom. My repos have moved to #codeberg, I am running my own #forgejo instance and build runners.

ActivityPub is going to be the main topic on what progress is being made.

That being said I was not very successful in finding recent progress in regards to how ie. "Forgejo is implementing federation." as it says on forgefed.org.

This is old...though not too old I hope...

"Add ActivityPub Person follow from distant #8720"

which was merged last month or Aug 3, to be exact.
