Just opened an issue for a major new task for #Fedify: building an #interoperability smoke test suite.

Nice :)

What if you could buy off the shelf a box based on #opensource software and hardware that you could plug into your internet connection. You could connect to via Wifi and it would allow an average person to fairly easily configure, via a guided setup, a self hosted Cloud Drive, Social Media server, home automation service, VPN end point, email server and other commonly useful software?

I’ve followed all the frequent posters on piefed.social using my mastodon.social account so we should be seeing a lot more PieFed content showing up there now. But unless you use hashtags, I’ll be the only one seeing it!

I just heard at @fediforum that @altstore is getting #Fediverse integration. When is @fdroidorg getting news and comments via #ActivityPub?

Alrighty, it looks like I tossed my name into the hat to assist here. We'll see where this goes.https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/issues/89#issuecomment-7587883#DNS #FEP #ActivityPub #Fediverse

🆕 blog! “Getting started with Mastodon's Quote Posts - technical implementation details for servers”

This is amazing news! Fedify has received a substantial grant for further development, including portability for fediverse objects and enhanced dev kits for ActivityPub. 🎉🎉🎉

As you may know NOSTR (Notes and Other STuff via Relays) is another protocol for the fediverse like ActivityPub. In order to allow AP folks to communicate with NOSTR folks there are [at least] two “bridges” (mostr.pub & momostr.pink) created to allow certain level of server, client interaction between the two.

»Signal Protocol and Post-Quantum Ratchets« signal.org/blog/spqr/?Fedizen. #Fedizen #Fediverse #ActivityPub #News

We’re excited to announce that #Fedify has been awarded a service agreement by the @sovtechfund@mastodon.social! The Sovereign Tech Fund is investing €192,000 in Fedify’s development over 2025–2026 to strengthen the fediverse ecosystem.

🌐 The #Fediverse, a digital ecosystem based on the #ActivityPub protocol, offers an alternative to traditional #socialnetworks by allowing users greater freedom and control.

RE: colours.bots.edent.tel/posts/6Hey you! Would you like to learn how #ActivityPub works?I have a *single-file* ActivityPub server which can be used to run bots.It supports quotes, mentions, hashtags, and most features of the modern #Fediverse.

Who on #Fediverse self-host #Indieweb static website with #ActivityPub #ActivityStream , with 3rd party webhook endpoint gateway, and use desktop client\script to send json REST POST replies in to remote #ActivityPub #ActivityStream INBOX ?

I’m going to register a protocol handler, so links to anywhere on the fedi will be opened in the user’s home instance.

Thinking about building “#Fedify Studio” (tentative name)—a web-based #ActivityPub debugging & development toolkit, like a supercharged version of ActivityPub.Academy and fedify inbox command. Imagine having a proper UI for testing activities, inspecting actors, debugging federation issues… Would this be useful for other ActivityPub developers out there?

#Pixelfed and #Piefed are not the same—and no, the similar names don’t make them cousins. They’re completely unrelated projects.<br/><br/>Pixelfed is for images. Think Instagram without Meta breathing down your neck.<br/><br/>Piefed is for communities. Think Reddit without the corporate overlords.<br/><br/>But here’s the beauty: both run on the #Fediverse, which means they actually talk to each other. I’ve posted from Pixelfed right into Piefed—something you’ll never see in the walled gardens.
