Rebooting the #openweb in a good way

The #Fediverse exists, and more than that, it’s alive and kicking. Sure, it might be a messy, chaotic, a bit fragmented, and yes, still niche. But let’s not underplay it, this is the healthiest corners of the internet we’ve got. Tens of million accounts, hundreds of thousands active people, sometimes talking about how we build our digital spaces from the bottom up. Yep, there are the cat videos, the #fluffys and the #spikys. But also an in-group debate is bubbling away about who […]

📣 Exciting news! Fedify CLI is now available via Homebrew!

If you're using #Homebrew on macOS or #Linuxbrew on Linux, you can now install our CLI toolchain with a simple command:

brew install fedify

This makes it even easier to get started with building your federated server app. Try it out and let us know what you think!

unstable.fedify.devfedify: CLI toolchain | FedifyThe fedify command is a CLI toolchain for Fedify and debugging ActivityPub-enabled federated server apps. This section explains the key features of the fedify command.

@KazukyAkayashi @feudjais j'ai souvent entendu du bien de Movim côté UI/UX, peux-tu décrire ce que tu n'aimes pas ?

Sinon j'ai développé avec Libervia une passerelle ActivityPub <=> XMPP grâce à une subvention NLnet/NGi0 qui devrait fonctionner avec Movim. Je suis très pris et je n'ai pas encore pu faire une release officielle, mais des gens utilisent déjà.

"We found and resolved the issue eventually, but there are a lot of people out there right now who think they're following us and have subscribed to receive updates but, in fact, no longer are. Ouch.

So, if we can ask you a favor this week: Please share and repost this newsletter so that we may hopefully reach and regain some of our lost Fediverse companions."

"The New Yorker profiled Bluesky CEO Jay Graber.

It also includes a nugget that Graber and Mastodon founder Eugen Rochko met about having the platforms interoperate, but “each told me that the other seemed more interested in having the rival platform migrate onto their own protocol,” author Kyle Chayka writes."

#Fellowship in Kooperation mit dem SWR X Lab und Mastodon

Das #SWR X Lab untersucht die Potenziale des #Fediverse für den öffentlich-rechtlichen Journalismus.

In Kooperation mit dem Media Lab Bayern und der Tech-Plattform #Mastodon wurde dazu ein Fellowship entwickelt.

Ziel ist es, innovative Lösungsansätze für sechs definierte Herausforderungen im Umgang mit ActivityPub zu finden.

Media Lab BayernFörderung in Kooperation mit dem SWR X LAB und Mastodon★ 10.000 € Förderung ★ 6 Monate ► Finde neue Lösungsansätze für soziale Plattformen und entwickle mit anderen Expert:innen funktionierende Prototypen.

Don't forget to support your Fedi admins in any way you can.

Fediverse isn't run by multi-billion dollar companies, and in a lot of cases, is simply run by kind folks who just want to have a nice social media platform.

Therefore, there's a high chance that the server costs come out of their pockets.

Support your admins. They help Fedi go round.🫶

Storing #RDF or #LinkedData is the easy part (I am working on #activitypub client, so everything is JSON-LD anyway), but as soon as I need to formulate queries like "Give me list of the activities from all the actors who are on the following collection of my user, sorted by published/updated date", the amount of data mangling that I need to do is already making me think "ok, why don't I just push all of this to sqlite?"

#couchdb experts (@janl, @nolan), any suggestions here?

The following, should be available to anyone to register. However, some (see list) will require a "domain agent" if you do not live or own a business in these countries. Many domain registers are happy to be your "domain agent", but you should check first with the register.

.ai – Anguilla

.am – Armenia

.co – Colombia

.fm – Micronesia

.io – British Indian Ocean Territory

.me – Montenegro

.tv – Tuvalu

.cc – Cocos (Keeling) Islands

.ws – Samoa

.in – India

.to – Tonga

.bz – Belize

.uk – United Kingdom (will need a domain agent)

.de – Germany (will need a domain agent)

.nl – Netherlands

Varese.social fa parte del fediverso. Una rete di server interconnessi che comunicano tra loro tramite un protocollo chiamato ActivityPub.

Se non ti piace varese.social puoi trasferire il tuo profilo su un altro server senza perdere nessun follower! Ho aggiunto qui varese.social/about un elenco di server italiani. Dateci un occhio e se vi piace uno in particolare trasferite il vostro profilo!

Mastodon hosted on varese.socialVarese SocialUn'istanza Mastodon gestita da volontari e rivolta ai cittadini della provincia di Varese.

I did some changes to my almost static #activitypub enabled blog, which enables @blog and @badgefed so now it can show the real number of followers.

I have only updated the #badgefed one. I am planning to migrate @vocalcat to such format because having a bot account does not make sense for the #fediverse. I rather post real uodates.

I will edit my series in the following days.

This is how you run a Fedi website outside Us Jurisdiction.

mk.absturztau.be = Domain (.be) name is Belgium, while hosted in Switzerland, and the hosting provider is governed under the laws of Switzerland.

mastodon.au = Domain (.au) name is Australia, while hosted in Australia, and the hosting provider is governed under the laws of Australia.

Remember, Dot Com, Net, Org, Info, Us, and Edu is governed by the United States of America. Most word-based domain names, for example, Dot Social, managed by Corporations within the USA.
