I've been thinking about adding a debug dashboard to #Fedify that shows all #ActivityPub activities being sent and received in real-time. This would include filters by activity type, detailed inspection of JSON-LD content, signature verification details, and retry management for failed deliveries.

As a #fedidev, would you find this useful for troubleshooting federation issues? Any other features that would be helpful in such a debugging tool?

Just received word that @fedify wasn't selected for @nlnet's Open Call this round. While disappointing, I understand the competition was fierce with many worthy projects seeking limited funding.

The journey continues though— #Fedify development will move forward at its own pace. Thanks to everyone who's shown interest and support for this project so far. Building tools for the #fediverse remains important work, and I'm committed to seeing it through.

If you know of other funding opportunities that might be a good fit for open source #ActivityPub tools, I'm all ears.

As #Fedify's author, I'm contemplating its adoption beyond Ghost's #ActivityPub implementation. Finding potential users for ActivityPub tools seems challenging—perhaps I'm addressing a very niche need?

While the technical complexity of ActivityPub makes tools like Fedify valuable, I wonder about the actual market demand for federation outside specific communities.

Open, decentralized systems make sense to many developers, but businesses often prefer closed ecosystems that align with traditional models.

Still, I see potential as the #fediverse grows and digital sovereignty concerns increase. Fedify aims to lower the technical barriers to federation.

I'm curious: Which projects would benefit most from Fedify today? What would make federation compelling enough for platforms to implement?

Would appreciate perspectives from both developers and platform owners.
