LOLA: an #ActivityPub data portability initiative spearheaded by @DTinitiative
https://swicg.github.io/activitypub-data-portability/lola

It's my fondest wish that we find more uses for #fediverse and make inventive ways of using the ActivityPub protocol.

I've mentioned the event/calendar idea before. But I'd also like to see a jobs site, with tools specifically designed around that activity.

Maybe like this:

#mastodon #fedi #FediJobs #jobSearch #webDev #ActivityPub

Preventing enshittification of platforms rests on credible exit for users and devs. #ActivityPub and #SMTP are not perfect but

a) are implemented und understood by many players,

b) enable freedom of choice of servers and clients,

c) implement #RightToMigrate as well as self/community custody

Many #p2p projects promise to remove servers but often promote and depend on a single implementation stack, have no spec and no interop among #p2p islands, and thus struggle to provide credible exit.

I have tried a couple of times and failed horribly - if I want to make a #WordPress site available through #ActivityPub, so that I can subscribe to all its contents, what do I need to install and set up?

We are a couple of people posting, from different WordPress accounts, but we do not want that to be visible from the ActivityPub side.

I tried the plug-in called wordpress-activitypub and while I can see the website itself (and "follow" it), none of the posts are visible.

#AskFedi

I'm just trying to check using #loops servers
https://loops.fediverse.observer/stats
#loopsvideo has 15k users.
But I did not understand
Why can a #closedsource application in fediverse have so many users without connecting to #activitypub ?

@mastodonmigration

Honestly the 300 character limit is the most annoying. Makes #FediBridge from #Mastodon to #BlueSky much less useful. I do think some of the incompatiblities with Activity Pub are by design to make the two systems not work together easily. Or to put it another way, I have never been convinced of the reasons for ATProto over ActivityPub. That money and energy developing #ATProto could have been spent making #ActivityPub work better.

A friendly reminder,

The Fediverse, the social network you're using to avoid Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or Blue Sky, is managed by real people, and not corporations. These real people, your administrator, pay for hosting so that you may share your thought, feelings, or just randomly sh-t post.

If you're financially able, take a moment to reach out to your administrator, and ask if they need help. Even a little bit can help.

#Meta is apparently blocking posts and accounts mentioning abortion pills. I really, really hope that EU makes a push and bans Meta here if they don't comply.

Could be a great chance to develop our own social media platforms, perhaps even using #ActivityPub and become the herald of open social media.

#Fediverse

In other words, what’s the best #ActivityPub software for a single-user instance?

somehow i have the feeling that mastodon has a lot of transient objects without id. too many. And many for which there is even an image url that does not appear to be transient.

or is it just my feeling that an icon of the actor should have an id ?

Hey, I’ve been wondering this. How come you can sign in with a #Pixelfed account using a Mastodon app, and not vice versa? Design choice on the Pixelfed app? Or is there a some technical reason?

It’s just the apps themselves deciding whether to support multiple #ActivityPub projects, is it?

Uma dúvida que eu tinha sobre o #PixelFed, como aplicativo utilizando o #ActivityPub, em relação à outros aplicativos que também usam o #ActivityPub mas que não tem a publicação de imagens como foco (por exemplo #Friendica e #GoToSocial) é qual o sentido de usá-lo.

Do que eu observei, como leigo, até agora, é a otimização!

Aparentemente a imagem que ele pega de outras instâncias para mostrar numa dada instalação é reduzida no tamanho do arquivo. O gerenciamento das imagens em cache também é otimizado, resultando em menor consumo de espaço de armazenamento e processamento.

Pra quem publica mais texto que imagens/pequenos vídeos, possivelmente não faça sentido ter perfis nos dois programas.

Valeria a pena testar se só usar o PixelFed para quem publica mais texto que imagens faria sentido em termos de otimização.

Ao menos a integração de textos publicados no PixelFed é, como era de se esperar, 100% com Mastodon, GoToSocial e Friendica, até onde pude reparar.

Just a few days ago, I lunched my new relay service for the #Fediverse and I'm really happy to see that there're already many ones connected to - more than 50 instances in just a few days!

But what makes me even really happy is to see, that my service [2] also gets linked in the release notes of #snac [1] / #snac2 - and I can recommend the usage of relay services (it doesn't matter which one!) to everyone. It provides more content from connected instances to you, but also brings your posts - from your local instance - up to other ones within the federated network where it can get much easier distributed around other instances.

#snac is the perfect way to host an own fediverse instance. Using the #ActivityPub protocol allows you to connect to all other instances. With the integrated #Mastodon API, you can also use most of your usual clients or web clients. Snac is light, fast, does not require any database and follows the KISS way - which the most of us BSD people are living. With relay services, it's the perfect match for singe-user instances and @grunfink is always open for ideas and to help! It does not always need to be #Mastodon, #GoToSocial etc!

And if you're using any other software, you may still benefit by using relay services. And if you're still looking for a guide, howto setup snac2 on #FreeBSD, my howto [3] might help you out.

You know #ActivityPub from a developer view? You want to have a forge that integrates with the #Fediverse? Then maybe https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/federation is a place for you :) Federation and #Forgejo :)

Pues ya he creado las traducciones 🌐 de #flohmarkt al español y al català, en este relajado viernes festivo.

Por si no lo sabías, flohmarkt es una especie de #Wallapop o #MilAnuncios pero #FOSS y con #ActivityPub. Sí, interacciona con Mastodon. 😍

Quick PSA about https://frequency.app:

1. It's not actually the unique platform it tries to make itself look like. It's a Mastodon fork.
2. *In violation of Mastodon's AGPLv3 license*, Frequency is proprietary, or at the very least does not provide any link to the source code.
3. They paywall signups.

This isn't anything particularly new and interesting. It's just yet another corporate leech on the fediverse...

#Fediverse #ActivityPub #Frequency #FrequencyApp

I have a #Fediverse #ActivityPub question:
Why doesn't my client ( #mastodon or #pixelfed ) automatically load the comments from the original page so that all comments are visible?
Is there a technical reason?

We got a draft going for our @nlnet proposal for #Limecast. We'll keep iterating on it, but for folks who have gone through this process if you have any pointer we'd love feedback!

It seems the "three slightly touching buttholes" symbol ⁂ is making the rounds again as people try to change the Fediverse :fediverse: logo that has nothing wrong with it.

The current Fediverse logo shows diversity and interconnectivity, the main features of Fedi.

The "asterism" is already used in writing to denote a change in time. It's a unicode character similar to how a billionaire asshole changed his companies logo to a unicode character and it was told to him many times why that's a bad idea, yet people want to copy him here?😑

Furthermore, it's all white and not connected at all. Which doesn't embody the values of Fedi at all. Last, but definitely not least, it looks like three slightly touching buttholes.

Don't change what isn't broken.

Thanks.
