Just discovered Emissary. It’s a social web toolkit that’s “designed for end users, app creators, and hosting admins”. It’s a highly customizable and scalable ActivityPub-enabled server software with few dependencies.
Only two known servers currently use #Emissary, but one of them is highly prominent: bandwagon.fm.
This has lots of potential if you want to build federated social web software with a specific use case scenario in mind.
Here’s the website:
Here’s their Git repo:

Hey #Musicians, if you're on #Bandwagon, the time has come.
I'm prepping the #SearchEngine and giving you a preview of how it'll work. Just jump over to bandwagon.fm and hit "Discover" to check it out.
I'm really pleased with this first step, but it will still be a just dumb, empty shell until we can get all your music is tagged, and optimize the tags/categories together.
You can read my full post at https://bandwagon.fm/2025-01-22-Search-Engine for all the details.
I can't wait to hear what you think.
Je passe sur NOT WHAT I CALL RADIO BONKWAVE \o/ (https://not.what.i.call.radio.bonkwave.org/)
Une chaîne thématique de THE INDIE BEAT RADIO (https://theindiebeat.fm)
Elle-même alimentée par le nouveau bandcamp-like fédéré, BANDWAGON.FM (https://bandwagon.fm), qui permet notamment de s’abonner depuis Mastodon à vos musicien’nes préféré’es.
Magie musicale du #fedivers 🙌
I put the big news first, but I'll say it again so it doesn't get buried:
When you publish #Music on Bandwagon.fm (or other #Bandwagon servers that launch later this year) you can just check a box to add it to the streaming rotation on https://TheIndieBeat.fm
Open APIs FTW
As I write this, I'm listening to a digital mix-tape of music -- some I recognize, and some I don't -- all from fellow Wagoneers.
Awesome 🤘
* Streaming Stations: launching an ethical, opt-in API with TheIndieBeat.fm streaming radio
* Salute to Radio Free Fedi: the original Fediverse stream is going dark
* Free/Premium: my commitment to make Bandwagon.fm free forever.
* Search/Discovery: progress on a unique music-only search engine for the Fediverse
* Licensing: assign CC/Copyright licenses to your work
* Open Source update: more Bandwagon coming servers in 2025.
