It's official now: activitypub.rocks is transferred to ActivityPub community.

You might think that the recipient is #SocialHub, which is located on the socialhub.activitypub.rocks subdomain, but for some reason it's a different entity, the W3C Social Web Community Group. It's hard to find any information about the people who control resources related to this group, but it seems that the site is controlled by the organizer of FediForum (https://fediforum.org/).

Update 2025-08-31: I was informed that the transfer only involved admin access to the site; domain owner didn't change

One last thing: @cwebber@social.coop mapped the activitypub.rocks hostname to that GitHub Pages site, but still retains the domain name. None of the sub-domains, like social.activitypub.rocks and test.activitypub.rocks, are managed by the GitHub repo. So, that's good news!

@silverpill@mitra.social the site is managed by the Web Task Force of the SocialCG. @j12t@j12t.social is the task force lead, but in his personal capacity as a member of the Community Group, not in his capacity as the organizer of Fediforum.

Any CG member can join the task force and make contributions. Any person can become a member of the CG.

There are a lot of issues open there; pull requests are welcome. If you want to be part of the task force, I would really appreciate it. There's a lot of work to do!
