Just finished listening to an interview with @bsky.app CTO @pfrazee.com by @mike on the @dot_social podcast. Super interesting to hear how they both attempted an explaination around categorizing bluesky as a part of the fediverse. I am personally undecided as to what bounds to take with what gets to be called the fediverse and what does not...

The Fediverse is a range of different open source softwares, all based on the #activitypub and federated by this protocol which has been designed to allow a federation of independent and totally autonomous instances with full control by their administrators. That's called "decentralisation".

"This guide details hosting the Lemmy backend and frontend on different domains. This is useful, for example, if you want users to have a webfinger (user handle) without a subdomain, but want to host services on the same domain."

#HatTip to @LaurensHof for the link to the Lemmy update.

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.

I'm glad to announce the release of version 2.76 of #snac, the simple, minimalistic #ActivityPub instance server written in C. It includes the following changes:

Added Webmention support for links (Markdown-style or direct) written in a post.

Added new command-line options for list maintenance.

Display custom emoji in more places (contributed by dandelions).

Mastodon API: fixed infinite scroll in many clients (thanks to cheeaun for giving me the clue), added /api/v1/accounts/.../lists endpoint (contributed by dandelions).

Email notifications can now be sent via libcurl SMTP instead of spawning the /usr/sbin/sendmail program. To use this new feature, some additional server configuration is needed, see snac(8) (contributed by shtrophic).

If you find #snac useful, please consider buying grunfink a coffee or contributing via LiberaPay.

If you're a writer/blogger/press, a friendly reminder that the 17th Year Anniversary of the #Fediverse [social] network (**not** Mastodon® social network) is fast approaching.

May 18, 2008

So, if you want to publish a new article, you can start today. There are a hundred possible angles and scopes for that article. 😉

Anyway…

Just rolled out some fediverse-related improvements:

- Now you can follow Write.as blogs from Ghost! There was a tiny bug with this that we just fixed. (WriteFreely PR: https://writefreely.org/pull/1373)

- We now support the `preview` property as a fallback for Articles. This will make your posts look much nicer as more platforms support it! (WriteFreely PR: https://writefreely.org/pull/1374)

Wrote up an to get feedback on adding support to https://apply.coop soon after we launch. If anyone else has feedback it is certainly welcome! It does require a Codeberg account to comment, but we're open to email feedback as well.

I am not an ActivityPub expert so a lot of this was learning while planning this out.

so now that features are really starting to diverge between different #activitypub sites we really need a way to come together and decide how these little bits can fit together. for instance #misskey has a ton of features they have implemented recently like polls and reactions other then 'star',

the masto fork now.kibousoft.co.jp has implemented #bbcode in their instance and it looked like misskey is doing something similar with https://misskey.xyz/notes/5b7c8643894f8100445b1f28

I'm migrating to a self-hosted Activity Pub instance (Go To Social) , I'm not exactly sure on whether all the followers/follows would be migrated successfully.

In case I was following you, you might receive a notification that I followed you. I hope you'd approve it.

In case I don't follow you anymore, it must be a quirk with the migration and I will try to follow you if I see you in my feed.

Previous posts are gone, But overall I'm glad that now I have an instance under my control.
