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.

Bonfire isn’t easy to pin down, and that’s the point! We seek to enable a tapestry of social spaces, all built from shared building blocks but diverging in flavour, practice, and purpose.

We gathered a whole collection of answers from across the fediverse:

Want to help shape what comes next? Support and share the crowdfunding to join install parties, co-design sessions, and more:

🥳 Say goodbye to #YouTube - we've launched our official channel on #PeerTube!

🔗 Find (and follow) us here: https://video.edu.nl/c/bibliothecaris_channel

We're in the early stages, so expect more videos, refined descriptions, and fine-tuning coming soon.

A big thank you to @SURF for making this possible. This is an exciting step for us 🚀

Hey everyone,

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

Managed PieFed hosting with fedihost.co

If you’d like a PieFed instance of your own but don’t want to deal with setting up a server, installing PieFed, and maintaining it yourself, get in touch with the team at fedihost.co! They’re currently offering reduced-price PieFed hosting to a limited number of instances as part of a beta program.

They’re looking for a mix of new and established PieFed instances so they can better understand real-world resource usage and what people need.

Hey #fediverse people, I've an ask: If you appreciate all that I do for the fediverse and open social web, and you'd like to see me continue to do that work, please support my work financially.

Right now I'm having to look for work outside of the Fediverse because I simply cannot make ends meet.

I need €60-70k per year to support myself, with costs everywhere feeling increased (so that number may even be too low)

Right now, year to date, I've received a total of €20,170 in financial support from the community, and €22,450 from NLNet grants. I've also only had minimal freelance work this year, as I've been busy on grant work & try to focus on the fediverse & open social web.

So my total income isn't yet enough to be regularly sustainable. I've had problems being able to make rent payments this year because cashflow on grants comes in large chunks usually months after the work has been done.

So if you want to see me keep doing what I'm doing, please support my work!

What Is The Fediverse?

If you’re not familiar with the name “ #Fediverse” – that’s okay. It is is an open society of web services that is already serving millions of people all around the world. They do this through a common language called #ActivityPub that lets news and events flow from one site to the next. So, instead of checking in to 5 or 6 different corporate sites, you can find, follow, like, and share across many, many sources – all from your own, singluar Fediverse profile.

Hey everyone,

@joynewacc and I had the honour of speaking to two families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Nour🇵🇸❤️ Future Doctor ( @Nourfuturedr) – note that Nour is Joy’s sister but we have the same process for everyone so we still held the verification call :)
• Niveen💝 (@joudfamily)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):
