#ActivityPub support in #Madblog

https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com/article/Madblog-federated-blogging-from-markdown

I am glad to announce that Madblog has now officially joined the #Fediverse family.

Madblog has already supported #Webmentions for the past couple of weeks, allowing your blog posts to be mentioned by other sites with Webmentions support (WordPress, Lemmy, HackerNews…) and get those mentions directly rendered on your page.

It now adds ActivityPub support too, using #Pubby, another little Python library that I’ve put together myself (just like Webmentions) as a mean to quickly plug ActivityPub support to any Python Web app.

Webmentions and Pubby follow similar principles and implement a similar API, and you can easily use them to add federation support to your existing Web applications - a single bind_webmentions or bind_activitypub call to your existing Flask/FastAPI/Tornado application should suffice for most of the cases.

Madblog may have now become the easiest way to publish a federated blog - and perhaps the only way that doesn’t require a database, everything is based on plain Markdown files.

If you have a registered domain and a certificate, then hosting your federated blog is now just a matter of:

And Markdown files can be hosted wherever you like - a Git folder, an Obsidian Vault, a Nextcloud Notes installation, a folder on your phone synchronized over SyncThing…

Federation support is also at a quite advanced state compared to e.g. #WriteFreely. It currently supports:

• Interactions rendered on the articles: if you like, boost, quote or reply to an article, all interactions are rendered directly at the bottom of the article (interactions with WriteFreely through federated accounts were kind of lost in the void instead)

• Guestbook support (optional): mentions to the federated Madblog handle that are not in response to articles are now rendered on a separate /guestbook route

• Email notifications: all interactions can have email notifications

• Support for quotes, also on Mastodon

• Support for mentions, just drop a @joe@example.com in your Markdown file and Joe will get a notification

• Support for hashtag federation

• Support for split-domain configurations, you can host your blog on blog.example.com but have a Fediverse handle like @blog@example.com. Search by direct post URL on Mastodon will work with both cases

• Support for custom profile fields, all rendered on Mastodon, with verification support

• Support for moderation, either through blocklist or allowlist, with support for rules on handles/usernames, URLs, domains or regular expressions

• A partial (but comprehensive for the provided features) implementation of the Mastodon API

If you want you can follow both the profiles of my blogs - they are now both federated:

• My personal blog: @fabio (it used to run WriteFreely before, so if you followed it you may need to unfollow it and re-follow it)

• The #Platypush blog: @blog

Hey @inkwell do you support #Markdown? I couldn’t figure out if you supported it or not. I do love the idea of this platform for non-technical writers to get into the #Fediverse but what is your #AI stance? Users have the right to know if they will wake up one morning and all of a sudden, there’s an AI feature because someone requested it

What's everyone's favourite GNU/Linux client for #Mastodon or the #fediverse? Looking for something to go with GoToSocial. I need something with a post scheduling feature.

I was using Tuba, which is fantastic, but it doesn't build on my distro anymore because the gtk version is too old.

I like @IceCubesApp but it seems like every time I rotate the app on my phone when writing a post, it freezes up and I lose the post. Anyone else having the same problem?

Ok, one issue less to worry about. 😁

Now I only need to find an anonymous and no clicks-generating, indirect link method to reference content from Big Tech and/or right-of-center media, social or not (e. g. YT, X, NYT, maybe even Truth (A)Social from the #LieATollah (built with Mastodon source code!).

RE: https://mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/116183535316096143

Some news from #HolosSocial development. The latest release moves media processing to the device. Videos are transcoded locally before upload. Users can store media on their own S3 or WebDAV server, and the resulting URLs are used directly in #ActivityPub activities. The relay server handles neither transcoding nor media storage. Each user brings their own resources to the #Fediverse.

Whoa! This is huge! This helps turn #WordPress into a more #Fediverse friendly site, especially for photo or video blogs. I guess this technically means that WordPress is blurring the line between a #Fediblog, a photo site (like #Pixelfed) & a video platform (like #PeerTube).

The only thing missing is an ability to “smoothly” import/export #ActivityPub sites, although that would probably require a whole separate process or another plugin.

Overall, this is great! https://mastodon.social/@pfefferle/116181160168023095

Ich habe mal eine Frage bezüglich des ativityPub Plugin in Wordpress

Im obrigen Beitrag habe ich das "follow" als Feld mit eingegeben, was auch angezeigt wird aber auch "rections", nur sieht man davon leider nichts auf der Webseite.
Muss ich da noch irgend wo einen Haken setzen, das Reactions auch angezeigt werden?

I've struggled with the #fediverse, and that's not the fault of the community or any of you!
I started out here because this was the community most relevant to my work & I felt most comfortable with. Turns out I have shifted away from #DigitalHumanities over the last 2 years & now write mainly about exlibris and Norway in English. Difficult: because there is only a tiny Norwegian community on Mastodon & even fewer like reading posts in English rather than Norwegian. #allheimen #norsktut 🤷

Eine großartige Besonderheit des #Fediverse begeistert mich immer wieder. Auch wenn es im 1. Moment selbstverständlich wirkt, so unterscheidet sich das doch positiv im Vergleich zu den kommerziellen Plattformen der Peoplefarmer:

Auf ganz normale öffentliche Posts, wie z.B. diesen hier, kann vollwertig aus dem ganzen Internet verwiesen und idR. offen zugegriffen werden. Links können direkt und frei von allen gelesen werden, die schlicht und einfach blos Zugang zum www haben. Man braucht hier gar keinen Account, muss nirgends eingeloggt sein und kann dennoch die Inhalte rezipieren.

Allein diese Tatsache müssten öffentlich kommunizierende Organisationen ja eigentlich lieben. Die mögliche #Reichweite ist im Fedi beliebig groß und frei, anstatt bewusst beschränkt und kontrolliert von Konzernen.

Organisationen, Vereine, Parteien, Bildungseinrichtungen, NGOs, Medien, Wissenschaftseinrichtungen usw., setzt bitte einfach mal auf das richtige Pferd! Kommt ins Fedi, dann sind und bleiben Eure Inhalte auch endlich frei.
Kluge Organisationen setzen übrigens gleich ihre eigene Instanz auf. Das gibts erstaunlicher Weise noch viel zu selten. Warum? Weil man den Mechanismus, sich blos irgendwo unterzuordnen, halt zu lange als Status Quo verinnerlicht hat? Dabei wäre es so einfach…

The #EuropeanCommission and other #EU institutions have been present on #Mastodon for some time.
However, there is still no reference to #fediverse #socialmedia on European institutional websites, while the traditional ones are still present.
Why not update these pages, highlighting an ethical policy choice?
