Just connected the @SURF #PeerTube (pilot) video platform:

▶️ video.edu.nl (focused on research, science and education) with
▶️ @waag (focus on technology and society) and
▶️ @publicspaces (advocating for a better internet)

The process was incredibly smooth… no restarts or any bumps. In just seconds, we federated 3 platforms across the #Fediverse using #ActivityPub in live action and combining hundreds of videos from trusted partners!

#smooth #openStandards #stepByStep
Thank you @peertube ‼️❤️💪

@jwildeboer I mean, basically just an instance modified to serve different content based on who is asking?

That's a fun hack, but is it #ActivityPub related?

I think it's just important to be aware of it - in theory, the fediverse *you* see may be different from the one someone else gets if there's a malicious actor involved.

Sometimes I learn things about #ActivityPub and wonder “what the hell were they smoking?” https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/114058565002752078

A relay may complicate the above picture slightly. But if server Y in the above example is an isolated #GlobalSouth instance, or if it is running software (such as Hubzilla) not based on #ActivityPub, then the relay will most likely not be pulling posts from there, so the example will still hold.

In this context, remember many instances do not add relays because the additional posts pulled in through the relay increase the storage and processing costs.

Just published a guide on setting up Snac on an Ubuntu VM using NGINX Proxy Manager. Snac is an incredibly lightweight #ActivityPub server. A true nom nom among fediverse platforms.

And just for the record —

Just like everyone else I contacted about their 'discoverable' flag being defaulted to 'false' —

He wasn't aware of the 'discoverable' flag existing (just like everyone else I contacted).

He didn't want to be hidden (just like everyone else I contacted).

He changed it to 'true' (just like everyone else I contacted).

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

8/

As it is now, I think the 'discoverable' flag is broken.

And, I think the whole user-experience (UX) around the 'discoverable' flag is poor.

And, I think Fediverse software treating a 'false' value for 'discoverable' as "not discoverable" (rather than "not discoverable" or "no choice made") has hugely negative consequences for the user-experience (UX) of the Fediverse

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

7/

So now I have to DM Ben to tell him that his 'discoverable' flag is set to false

He (just like everyone else I contacted) will likely not even be aware that the 'discoverable' flag exists

And (just like everyone else I contacted) wished it wasn't set to false

And then (just like everyone else I contacted) struggle to find where he can set it to true

And then set it

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

6/

As it is now, the 'discoverable' flag seems broken to me.

Because 'false' doesn't actually mean 'false'.

'false' (in practice) means both "not discoverable" and "no choice made". And this is a very unfortunate situation —

Because the idea of a 'discoverable' flag is a good idea — but this problem with the meaning of 'false' and the UX consequences a big deal.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

5/

JSON and has a 'null'. That could have been used for the 'discoverable' flag.

We could have had so that:

'discoverable' set to 'true' meant that the user explicitly chose to be discoverable.

'discoverable' set to 'false' meant that the user explicitly chose to not be discoverable.

And 'discoverable' set to 'null' meant that the user has not explicitly made a choice.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

4/

With other conceptions, this lack of choice — this lack of setting a value — isn't as muddled.

With optional-types (which are also called "option-types" and "maybe-types") when something isn't assigned a value it is represented as 'nothing' / 'none'.

In relation-databases, this is represented as 'null'.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

3/

As it is right now, the 'discoverable' flag does not communicate whether the user actually made a 'true' or 'false' choice.

If it is 'true' we know they made a choice.

But if it is 'false' it either means the user chose 'false' or the user didn't make a choice. BUT WE CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

2/

There are a HUGE number of people who (unknown to them) have their 'discoverable' flags set to 'false' who —

№2:

Do NOT know that they have a 'discoverable' flag —

And do NOT know that their 'discoverable' flag was automagically set to 'false' —

And do not understand the consequence of having their 'discoverable' flag set to false.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSo #Discoverable #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #FediverseUX #JSONLD #Mastodon #SocialWeb

1/

A problem with the 'discoverable' flag (in Mastodon and any other Fediverse software that added it) is —

There are a HUGE number of people who (unknown to them) have their 'discoverable' flags set to 'false' who —

№1:

Did NOT set their 'discoverable' to 'false' themselves.

Mastodon assigned it for them without ever asking them before hand and getting consent.

There we go. #Snac2 up and running with the preferred installation process. Added custom styling to boot. One confusion point with styling is that it does NOT affect the root page (greeting.html) only the profile pages. So I thought I had done something wrong, but finally figured it out.

De la mano del muchache creador de #snac, y su inagotable optimismo con el amor y la vida, nos llega ahora una instancia #activitypub para saber si llega o no llega el meteorito de las narices.

an important addendum to my previous toot: to enjoy all the benefits of the Fediverse you only need ONE account – because projects "talk to each other" thanks to the magic of #ActivityPub.

That said, the 2 things I find really empowering are:

1) being familiar with major projects, so I can make an informed decision about which one(s) to use

2) being able to self-host. It's the greatest feeling when it comes to digital sovereignty

And I'm just a filmmaker / creative person with 0 dev skills

@luka After further investigation I've found out, that #gancio 📆 events were only federating with #pixelfed 🖼️ in late 2024 (when we set up the gancio instance) and they don't federate anymore with any of the pixelfed instances I have. I'll try to find a root of the issue (but I'd also be grateful for advice on how to investigate this federation issue) and open bug reports if necessary.

Could ActivityPub / ActivityStreams be used to synchronize files across separate machines / computers / devices‽

I think the answer is, YES.

❦

The inbox-outbox system could enable you to send messages between separate machines / computers / devices.

The 'messages' transfer the changed 'blocks' / 'chunks' that make up a file, notify about deletions, file creations, etc

Existing Activity Types might be sufficient to do this

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #JSONLD

Is any Fediverse software using or generating the 'View' activity-type?

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-view

You could create view-counts on posts, profiles, etc, using this.

Of course, there are privacy concerns with this.

And, also, what counts as a "view".

Although, I sometimes use a "Like" to indicate I viewed something. If a 'View' was something manual (such a pressing a button) that could be more semantically clean.

#ActivityPub #ActivityStreams #DeSe #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #Privacy

To me, it feels like the Activity Types should have been past-tense verbs, rather than present-tense verbs.

I.e.:

• "Accepted" rather than "Accept"
• "Added" rather than "Add"
• "Announced" rather than "Announce"
• "Arrived" rather than "Arrive"
• "Blocked" rather than "Block"
• "Created" rather than "Create"
• etc

Present-tense verbs feel like commands.

Past-tense verbs feel like events.

Activities are events not commands.

Each post can have more than one attachment from the web UI. The maximum number can be configured in server.json via the max_attachments value (default: 4).

Each notification includes a link labelled Context, that leads to a page with the full conversation tree the post is a part of.

Each followed hashtag has now a directly accesible link.

Fixed a search bug (some matches were missed).

Fixed more crashes (contributed by inz).

Fixed link detection in posts (contributed by inz).

Allow multiple editors for command-line posts (contributed by inz).

Separated maximum and default timeline entry count, allowing larger timelines to be requested without having to increase the default (contributed by lxo).

Turned message date into a link to the local post, so that it can be loaded into a separate tab for interacting with (contributed by lxo).

Special thanks to fellow developer inz for bringing my attention to code places where I should have been more careful.

However, "orderedItems" is mentioned in the ActivityStreams Core spec:

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/

Maybe the closest thing to a definition is:

"Collection are represented using the 'items' property while ordered items are represented using the 'orderedItems' property."

So, "orderedItems" is just like "items":

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#dfn-items

... except renamed and the interpretation is different

"orderedItems" also isn't in the ActivityPub spec:

"orderedItems" shows up in the examples in the ActivityStreams Vocabulary spec:

The #Fediverse is free, free of censorship, federated and full of great content!

Also the Fediverse - instance admins randomly blocking whole instances just because a single user feels offended of a post by a single instance user. Blocking whole instances is just a finger snip away, censoring unwanted content and parenting users of instances. Defederating just because of… ok no clue :) Using content warner for any possible content just to annoy or aeemmm make it more interesting to other users. Thanks, I’m old enough :) Seeing all the spam because it’s just a thing of 5 minutes automation to create randomly new instances on different domains (or subdomains from dynamic-ip hosters) and to fill the network with automated content.

Sometimes, pros can easily switch into cons… luckily more and more single user instances are raising up for exactly this reasons and can still easily federate by using relays…

And it’s a wrap for my first (EPIC) day at #FOSDEM.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible - and energizing - it feels to be around the creators of the #ActivityPub protocol, founders of #Fediverse software, admins of popular instances and developers of tools I use every day.

I took the opportunity to thank them in person for their incredible work 😊

It’s also been amazing to finally meet IRL lots of cool people I had been corresponding with for months on the Fediverse.

The best day 💛

The Ghost approach to #ActivityPub looks great. They get it. Real engagement and ongoing conversations not just broadcasting. I had a similar experience when Mastodon replies started showing up as comments in WordPress, but Ghost is really building this into the core with the reader view as well. “You can’t be on the social web without being social.” #FOSDEM #SocialWebFOSDEM

Looks like Pixelfed.social has briefly overtaken Mastodon.social to be the most active server in the fediverse!

Looks like m.s has reset their MAU counter, so this is only temporary, but such a cool milestone for the fediverse!

Being #1 doesn't matter though, its cool, but the real important thing to remember is compatibility.

ActivityPub allows you to interact with anyone across the network!

#HowTo install & run #snac on #FreeBSD - run your own #ActivityPub instance in the #Fediverse!

In the last days I often got asked about #snac / #snac2 as an alternative to #Mastodon and I can highly recommend it! I few months ago, I already wrote a HowTo about setting snac up on a FreeBSD instance - might be worth to share again :) if you’re using snac, you might also want to use my relay service at https://fedi-relay.gyptazy.com to make your posts more visible in the Fediworld.

https://gyptazy.com/install-snac2-on-freebsd-an-activitypub-instance-for-the-fediverse/

I think this would be an excellent idea for the #fediverse and showing what #activitypub can enable.

A social media platform with only voice notes, powered by activitypub.

Thoughts?

When I opened up Lemmy this morning I could not believe my eyes. The top story was a headline from Forbes stating:
« ‘Open Source And Ethical’ TikTok, WhatsApp And Instagram Alternatives Could Transform Social Media ».

The article mostly focused on #Pixelfed and did a fairly good job explaining how #ActivityPub works. But they spelled #Mastodon « Mastadon » over and over again with no links to it. Yikes.

B for the effort, but please editors do better!

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

Alt...

A flow diagram that starts at a webpage called jobs.social, A fediverse jobs site. It is then divided into three sections. The left side says Company, advertise your jobs. Register for an account 5$ per month 100$ a year. Acts like a social media account plus job tools. An arrow from the left side points to three sections: 1. can post a job using a form appears as a post from company@example.com 2. replies from fediverse are applications or questions, company can respond to. [Public or private] 3. The posting is time limited and hides itself after a set time, or if the company has found their worker. The right side says: Person, looking for work. Follow Sarah to find work: sarah@example.com this leads off with an arrow on the right: 1. sarah sends friend requests a private link with a short form to say what work they are looking for. 2. then sends private messages when jobs are posted that match the details submitted. e.g. Location, skills, filters situation, contract, full-time etc. 3. Info stored in friendship, unfollowing deletes all. This personalised feed sent directly to you, is where the main fediverse value is. The other functionality could be done in plenty of ways without social media. The final section is a Home feed. The arrow points to a Public list of jobs, with search and an example set of job results found.

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.

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.

After a long silence, Tumblr confirms it is still planning to join the fediverse.

> The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news.

A screenshot of a tumblr post from their official work in progress account (wip) Good news! While it is still on the list, the Tumblr to WordPress migration will definitely unlock ActivityPub for Tumblr! In fact, one big reason for the migration itself is to get us into the Fediverse. When that’s done, we’re in. The migration is still a work in progress, as we’ve previously detailed here, but we can say for sure that it will include support for WordPress’s existing ActivityPub plugins. We hope this comes as good news. Thanks for your question, and we hope it won’t be too long. Keep the questions coming!

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. 😍

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?
