@jgbarah If that leads to more money for folk working on #ActivityPub applications, it will be a very good thing.

is anyone working on #Fediverse / #ActivityPub Git° hosting? it just seems like it would be a good fit, and given, well, ::gestures all around me:: …

Hey #Fediverse!

I'm building a Sound Library for Loops, my #ActivityPub video project, to let users add free audio to their videos.

I'm already looking into integrations with #FunkWhale and Bandwagon.

What other sources for free, libre, or public domain (CC-BY, CC0, etc.) music and sound effects should I check out?

#AskFedi #Loops #FreeMusic

Coming soon to #flohmarkt: FediAuth for any kind of #ActivityPub users. Simply send a DM to a flohmarkt instance you want to login to, and you will be able to create a user and upload small/classified ads.

#askFedi Does anybody know if there is an #ActivityPub software that *produces* multilingual objects leveraging the contentMap feature?

This is an extension of the discussion from Topic removal from a category/community.

In it, @rimu@piefed.social shared the Lemmy federation primer which details that Delete(Object) is federated whenever a post is removed from a community.

I needed a way to communicate when a topic/context (not the top-level post) is removed from a category/audience, but is not deleted. You might ask — how is removing a context different from deleting it? In this case, a removed context still exists and is still resolvable. A context can removed from an audience in NodeBB.

Note that Lemmy and Piefed don't have a concept of an audience-less context, so if a context is removed from an audience, it would simply be deleted. No additional logic required.

Anyhow — when a topic is moved into Uncategorized (which is a catch-all bucket for... you guessed it, uncategorized content), NodeBB will federate a Remove. It looks something like this:

{
	id: '<context url>#activity/remove/<timestamp>',
	type: 'Remove',
	actor: '<actor url>',
	to: [<public collection...>],
	cc: [<audience followers>,
	object: '<context url>',
	origin: '<audience url>',
}

This is live on activitypub.space already.

This goes hand-in-hand with topic moving, which would follow similar mechanisms, except it'd be a Move instead of a Remove.

I will likely write an FEP with technical details for both Remove and Move, and will include existing behaviours (Delete(Object)) as well.

You read it. You listened to it. You watched it. You thought it was great. You should boost it and not need to think about what service to use to do that. You also shouldn't have to think of a clever post to link to it with. Every bit of digital work should have #ActivityPub built in.

People criticized my decision to delay releasing Loops source. I made the right call.

With everything now public, admins + devs running the beta are loving it.

Heads up @dansup@lemmy.world the creator of these apps refuses to open source the projects stating (Loops): Not until it's stable Anyone who's followed any project of any kind knows that this is just a formal way of saying they just won't do it.

This is how the new Loops app Notifications screen looks like.

Notice the lack of webfinger addresses, and the instant action buttons like Reply and Like?

All of these notifications are from remote accounts, but we hide the complexity of federation and only show the relevant details.

Pretty cool eh?

New Loops app notification screen

Meet Loops — a new, federated TikTok alternative that’s open-source and self-hosted.

Every movement begins with a spark.

Loops is that spark — breaking down the walls built around creativity and replacing them with doors anyone can open, explore, and build upon.

Join us and spread the word!

https://joinloops.org

#loops #tikTok #activityPub

It’s not finished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. 🥹

Loops is now open, built in public, and growing every day — laying the groundwork for a future where you can build your own TikTok.

A future where governments can’t censor you. Where corporations can’t control the conversation. Where the social web belongs to the people again.

This is how it starts. ✊

https://joinloops.org/

#loops #tikTok #activityPub #freedom #federation

Not everyone can or should self-host, but there is a lot of middle ground between self-hosting and putting everything on #AWS.

Federated protocols like #XMPP, #ActivityPub, and #SMTP give you choice.

#Fediverse #Jabber

#ActivityPub project idea - Note-ify server that turns any activity into a Create/Note. So you can follow username%40domain.example@notiefy.example and any activities that username@domain.example creates are converted to Note objects and passed along.

I just got notified that my flight was delayed. In the airline's app and email. all our apps using #ActivityPub or #matrix would be more convenient.

Currently I am grappling with the specifics behind how to federate out the deletion of a topic in a category (or in ForumWG terms, the deletion of a context from an audience.)

For those unaware, a context is essentially an OrderedCollection containing all objects within its purview.

Deleting a note or other object is easy. If you are same-origin as the object, you Delete(Object), done.

Deleting a context is more difficult... you can't rely on other implementors to store references to your contexts, since it is essentially meaningless to them. Furthermore, if a context is deleted, then when a Delete(Context) is federated out, receivers will have no idea what they're seeing, will try to retrieve the object, and find a 404. So it doesn't even work at all.

Even worse, you can't really delete other peoples' contexts (or for that matter, their content) since you're not same-origin.

Finally, I realized I'm looking at this the wrong way — I'm not deleting contexts, I'm simply removing them from an audience. Remove works perfectly fine when the context continues to exist (as it can be referenced and duck typed). Remove also works for remote content; the same-origin check applies to the audience you're removing from.

If you're deleting a context, you have to be the same-origin, and you really should just federate out deletion of the local members in that collection, via regular Delete(Object).

I suppose federating out self-destruction of a context would be the most complete but it is quite difficult to do when it is no longer resolvable...

Getting started is easy:

• Visit our website to find your country and city - https://fedimeteo.com

• Follow your city's account (e.g., @roma@it.fedimeteo.com).

• Enjoy the weather updates!

#Weather #Fediverse #FediMeteo #ActivityPub

#Argentina #Australia #Austria #Belgium #Brazil #Bulgaria #Canada #Croatia #Czechia #Denmark #Estonia #Finland #France #Germany #Greece #Hungary #India #Ireland #Italy #Japan #Latvia #Lithuania #Malta #Mexico #Netherlands #NewZealand #Norway #Poland #Portugal #Romania #Slovakia #Slovenia #Spain #Sweden #Switzerland #Taiwan #UnitedKingdom #UnitedStates

There are simple services that exist that — when a user fills-out & submits a <form> on the Web that simple service e-mails someone that data.

These simple services are alternatives to more complex back-end with a database.

An alternative to this alternative could be — instead of e-mailing someone the submitted data, send that data via the Fediverse using ActivityPub.

ActivityPub them. (Can “ActivityPub” be a verb‽)

Probably as a private DM.

#ActivityPub #FediUX #Fedivese #FediverseUX

There is no way in #PeerTube to essentially 'boost' (retweet) a video from another instance, is there?

I want people to be able to go to my PeerTube instance and watch a video that I recommended without leaving my instance but all likes and comments should obviously go to the original source. (And the video itself should obviously be streamed from the original source as well.)

#askfedi #ActivityPub

@prahou @stefano @rqm This is why I wish #ActivityPub used the References header like SMTP, not just a simple In-Reply-To parent link. It would allow instances and clients to keep threads together even when there’s an unreadable post (whether due to visibility, blocking, unreachable instances, or anything else) in the middle.

Perhaps the #W3C and the instance software writers could extend AP with that? It would help making AP less unusable in practice.

"Real-time sharing of short text messages and links — so-called “microblogging” — is the heart of social networks from LinkedIn to Twitter. But articles and blog posts, with finer details, deeper thought and more analysis, are a crucial part of what the Web is for..."

the term microblogging is confusing. it's a social news feed. what's unique here is the "boost". not just posts/links, but just add #ActivityPub and any media can go viral. we decide together what deserves attention. #SocialWeb

Add ActivityPub Federation

You can now have Fediverse compatiblity on self-hosted Ghost-powered blogs. There are two different ways of doing this:

- Install your Ghost blog using Docker, more info at https://docs.ghost.org/install/docker and see the section on #ActivityPub at https://docs.ghost.org/install/docker#enabling-social-web-activitypub. There are no limits on this option.

- Use ghost.org's ActivityPub service, but this has limits for self-hosters of 2000 follows, 2000 followers and 100 interactions per day (more info at https://docs.ghost.org/hosting#hosted-activitypub-usage-limits).

Working based on interoperable specifications is value to users and developers. Development teams get the freedom to exchange component implementations which is beneficial to the user. Other developers can team up to replace a whole tool or app with another interoperable one, providing a second level of "freedom to exit". Its true for #activitypub and is true for our e-mail Standards and #openpgp based end-to-end encryption. Protocols are the fundamental source to provide freedom of exit.

Now here's a question! That makes a great subject for a FediForum session. We are non-partisan with respect to protocols, and want the entire open social web to succeed. And as it is an unconference, the discussion can branch out over several sessions if needed if an action plan were to emerge!

I have a Mastodon List of "Group Accounts", which makes for a good timeline of discussions around specific topics.

I have no idea how @phanpy would accomplish this, but it would be cool to have a type of "Catch Up" page where posts are organized by Group Account, sorted by date and thread.

I mean at that point you might as well just visit PieFed or NodeBB! But it would be nice. :)

Hey 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.

You can play around by uploading one PHP file and one .htaccess file to your website.

Get started at:
https://gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/

If you follow a Ghost site from Mastodon etc, it isn't just a one-way feed.

Ghost sites are actually on the Fediverse and they can interact with Mastodon etc accounts, they can favourite, boost and reply.

You can see Ghost site @sam replying to @FediFollows here: https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows/115293813549700275

This is two-directional, Fediverse-compatible websites can seamlessly talk with people on Fediverse-compatible social networks. This is how the open web is supposed to work.

Screenshot of some posts within a thread viewed from in Mastodon. There is a caption "This reply is coming from a Ghost-powered site which is on the Fediverse".

I'm excited to see what the Ghost-Fediverse integration goes in the months/years ahead." A reply below this post is from the FediFollows Mastodon account and says "Happy to share, you are running a lovely site! And indeed about the integration!

Would you like to see full default interoperability between #ATproto and #ActivityPub without a bridge? (what's preventing this...)

I've been busy wrapping up the final parts of Loops ActivityPub federation!

We will ship with two modes (Open and Lockdown), the latter allowing you to restrict federation with allowed instances only (and enforced via AuthorizedFetch)

You can also disable Federation support

I'll have a better ETA this weekend after some more testing ✨

Thanks to phpstan, this may even ship this weekend 🚀

The pending Loops federation code, 99 files and thousands of lines of code. I want to get it right this time 😉

Mastodon has a concept called "pinned statuses", which is a special collection attached to a Person actor.

https://docs.joinmastodon.org/spec/activitypub/#featured

It wasn't readily known how this collection is updated and federated (not without code achaeology), but @claire@social.sitedethib.com recently shared some additional info

• The actor itself will issue an Add activity targeting the collection with the status in object.
• This activity is sent to all followers of the actor.
• No activity is sent if the actor has no remote followers.
• A Remove is sent when a pinned post is unpinned.

This is what the Add looks like:

{
    "@context": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams",
    "type": "Add",
    "actor": "https://example.org/users/testUser",
    "target": "https://example.org/users/testUser/collections/featured",
    "object": "https://example.org/users/testUser/statuses/115266412340579560"
}

The corresponding Remove is identical except for type, which is of course, Remove.
