Started laying out a rough plan for implementing FEP-ef61: Portable Objects in #Fedify—server-independent #ActivityPub identities backed by #DIDs, multi-server replication, and client-side signing. It's going to be a long road (13 tasks across 5 phases, with a few open questions that need answering before we even begin), but I think it's worth doing right.

#Ramadan is the month of giving, mercy, and standing together 🤍🌙

Alhamdulillah, one food parcel has already been prepared and delivered to a family in need.
Another parcel is now being prepared… and many more families are still waiting.

Every donation — no matter how small — brings food to a table, relief to a mother, and hope to a child.
We truly need your support to keep going.

Anyone asked where the #ActivityPub dev community’s communication went to, can let a broad beaming smile come to their face, svivel their eyes skywards, then make a broad gesture with their arms, and exclaim solemnly “To the fediverse, my friend. To the fediverse”. And the dotted clouds high above in the steel blue sky will smile back at them, wave and gesture, and sing in a non-melodious cacophony “Here we are, come join us”.

And so we all do. It is a sight to behold. 🥹

Or with a tad less sarcasm, you might also say: Even though it is a medium that is not up to the task of holding a grassroots open-standards based ecosystem together, #Microblogging #SocialMedia has become the preferred channel for communication in the app-centric #fediverse. Majority of dev happens in the federated cloud and is driven by app owners.

Though luckily there is also a minority of ecosystem atmosphere custodians who help study the weather patterns of the future #SocialWeb.

Mensch du... Sonnenaufgang ueber Duesseldorf im Februar, hatte ich auch nicht zuvor!

Moin #Fediverse und euch einen gesunden Start in diesen Freitag. Alles wird gut!

I’m building a new tool and looking for volunteers to test it! A #fediverse linktree.

It’s designed for two types of people:

Normies / newcomers – Think of it like a free, privacy-respecting Linktree. No trackers, no ads. But here's the cool par: it's a Trojan horse for the fediverse. Your profile link is itself an ActivityPub actor. That means people can interact with it directly in the fediverse, and it encourages exploration of open platforms.

Fediverse users, If you have multiple accounts ( #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, Loops, a federated blog…), you know the struggle: sometimes you just want one persona to follow. This tool gives you that. It doesn’t post on its own (read-only), but it boosts all your other accounts and even has its own #ActivityPub inbox. PLUS it can receive and show your badges issued by @badgefed !

Interested in testing? Reply here.

Dear everyone.

If you post in more than one language, please remember to set the language of your post correctly. It's the only way the language translator works properly.

Many thanks.

Please consider boosting to raise awareness of this issue.

I was at an event last night and some people spoke about how without Fb they wouldn't have been able to reconnect with their school friends.
The #Networkeffect of the #socialgraph is so important to growth.

I am wondering how the #Fediverse could incorporate that in order to get more users.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@leavex/116138793186293277

In terms of alternatives to X, it's interesting to compare German and British universities. The former seems to prefer the Fediverse, while the latter prefers BlueSky.

How are things going in this regard with universities and research institutes in other European countries?
