After a bit of trial-error, got fediverse comments showing on a #nextjs site running #fedify. My personal fediverse-connected youtube mirror is now mostly feature complete.

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.

Introducing #Hollo. Hollo is an #ActivityPub-enabled single-user microblogging software. Although it's for a single user, it also supports creating and running multiple accounts for different topics.
It's headless, meaning you can use existing #Mastodon client apps instead, with its Mastodon-compatible APIs. It has most feature parity with Mastodon. Two big differences with Mastodon is that you can use #Markdown in the content of your posts and you can quote another post.
Oh, and Hollo is built using #Bun and #Fedify.
Exciting news for #Fedify developers! We've just landed a major milestone for Fedify 2.0—the #CLI now runs natively on #Node.js and #Bun, not just #Deno (#456). If you install @fedify/cli@2.0.0-dev.1761 from npm, you'll get actual JavaScript that executes directly in your runtime, no more pre-compiled binaries from deno compile. This is part of our broader transition to Optique, a new cross-runtime CLI framework we've developed specifically for Fedify's needs (#374).
This change means a more natural development experience regardless of your #JavaScript runtime preference. Node.js developers can now run the CLI tools directly through their familiar ecosystem, and the same goes for Bun users. While Fedify 2.0 isn't released yet, we're excited to share this progress with the community—feel free to try out the dev version and let us know how it works for you!

We're excited to announce that #Fedify has been awarded a service agreement by the @sovtechfund! The Sovereign Tech Fund is investing €192,000 in Fedify's development over 2025–2026 to strengthen the fediverse ecosystem.
This investment will enable us to significantly expand Fedify's capabilities and make it easier for developers to build federated applications. The commissioned work focuses on improving developer experience, adding comprehensive debugging tools, and ensuring Fedify remains at the forefront of #ActivityPub innovation.
Here are the key milestones we'll be delivering:
Web framework integrations: Official adapters for Next.js, Elysia, Fastify, and Koa, making it seamless to add federation to existing applications
ActivityPub debug & development tools: Real-time debug dashboard with WebSocket monitoring, federation lifecycle hooks, and implementation checklist CLI to make federation interactions transparent and debuggable
Storage & infrastructure enhancements: SQLiteKvStore for robust file-based storage across Node.js, Deno, and Bun, plus performance optimizations for production deployments
Comprehensive documentation & examples: Specialized tutorials for building federated blogs, social networks, and content platforms, with complete working examples and migration guides
Observability & monitoring: Full OpenTelemetry metrics, performance benchmarking tools, and federation health dashboards for production environments
Advanced features & standards: FEP-ef61 (Portable Objects) support and implementation of emerging Fediverse Enhancement Proposals to keep Fedify at the cutting edge
All developments will be open source and available for the entire #fediverse community to use, contribute to, and build upon.
We're sharing a public project board to track our progress on web framework integrations for #Fedify, work commissioned by the Sovereign Tech Fund ( @sovtechfund). You can follow along at:
https://github.com/orgs/fedify-dev/projects/1
The Sovereign Tech Fund invested in Fedify to expand its ecosystem through official integrations with popular web frameworks. This investment enables developers to add federation capabilities to their existing applications without changing their technology stack.
Notably, some of these integrations were completed between our initial application submission and the official kickoff of the #STF investment. This demonstrates both our commitment to the project and the community's active development momentum.
Already completed:
In progress:
Upcoming:
These integrations make Fedify accessible to developers across different JavaScript ecosystems and runtime environments. Each integration follows established patterns from our Express and h3 integrations, ensuring consistency and ease of adoption.
Fedify has been awarded a service agreement by the Sovereign Tech Fund for this work, with a budget of €32,000 and completion target of November 30, 2025. The Sovereign Tech Agency supports the development, improvement, and maintenance of open digital infrastructure through investments like this.
We believe in transparent development and welcome community input and contributions.
