TIL: there are OVER 100 different Fediverse software which uses the
#ActivityPub protocol
WOW.
I was expecting not more than 30-40.
Been busy this evening, with a chain-reaction of events.
I got my #3DPrinter working again - nozzle was blocked, and I couldn't get it unblocked, so I ordered some replacement ones, which arrived nearly a week ago. For multiple reasons, I haven't had the opportunity and/or energy to fit it, until tonight. Got a great test print run off, first try with the new nozzle, so tomorrow I'll be able to set off the ~15 hour print I was trying to do when it blocked.
Also been thinking about a re-spin of the #MakerSpace concept that hopefully won't be so fkn horrible to run. I've been ruminating on this for the last couple of years - especially since I rage-quit running my local makerspace in the summer of 2023, when I had an #AutisticMeltdown due to having to leave our premises because the landlord was a rogue. Tonight I was able to actually get some good ideas down, some basic principles: virtual; non-hierarchical; no committee/board; distributed inventory; premise-less; nomadic - meeting in various venues around the area; organised online (pref using something federated); self-organising; plus a bunch of other things.
As a result of *that*, I ended up looking at #ActivityPub based applications, looking for things that might help with the "virtual makerspace" idea. Found three that I feel I need to check out: Hubzilla, Mobilizon, and NodeBB.
Looking at those three, NodeBB stuck out as it actually mentions FreeBSD as a supported platform, so *that* made me update my #FreeBSD-based mini-NAS, so I could test it. So I've just got it back up to scratch, because it WAS running FreeBSD 14.1-RELEASE-p5 GENERIC, but after running freebsd-update, I found it's now no longer supported. While I've been typing this, it's just finished installing 14.2-RELEASE-p3.
Oh, and also been talking with my wife about how her #AutismAssessment went this evening.
And posting about British Chips and Mushy Peas.
#Messenger Apps mit #XMPP-Protokoll
Na ja, es ist ja nur ein Protokoll, genau wie das #ActivityPub protocol fürs Fediversum.
Das war mal überfällig--Übersicht über mögliche Apps:

Ich vermute mal, die können auch alle miteinander komunizieren.
Mich würden die aktiven Nutzerzahlen interessieren, aber nachdem 95% der Apps nach dem 3. Monat nicht mehr genutzt werden...

I wonder if the new version of Digg will consider federation with the fediverse.
Will it be possible to get the same reach with the #ActivityPub #Wordpress Plugin? (Or Bluesky Bridge)
I am asking because for example one can not opt into Full Text Search am I correct? https://fedi.tips/how-do-i-opt-into-or-out-of-full-text-search-on-mastodon/

ActivityPub is great to connect your WordPress blog to the Fediverse. However, depending on the activity, it is possible to create an accidental DDoS against the own server.

Technically, this is where Mastodon shows a usability gap:
When suspended, you can export follows, but your followers are cut off. You can’t redirect them. They aren't notified.
Most of mine were mutuals so I can slowly rebuild. But even after reconnecting, I now see less of their discussions, because my new instance isn't yet well-federated.
That means losing not just access, but visibility to a community I cultivated over years.

Stanotte in preda alla vena creativa ho iniziato ascrivere una guida al #Fediverso. Poi mi sono accorto che devo ancora studiare bene come funziona #activitypub!
Quindi alla fine ho fatto solo la INTRO, abbastanza psichedelica!

I apologize if you keep seeing new follow notifications from me. I'm still exploring lots of platforms for both ActivityPub (Mastodon, Pixelfed, etc) and BlueSky. Some let me use my already existing credentials and some do not. I'm trying to keep my follow lists mostly the same on all of them right now - thus the multiple follows.
For my longtime friends following along and still trying to figure out Social Media 2.0:
I'm pretty happy with two so far. Friendica and Wafrn. They BOTH handle Mastodon AND Bluesky. Neither have the 300 / 500 character limits. Friendica is the most Facebook-like so far and Wafrn is a lot like old Tumblr.
Friendica is probably not yet ready for "prime time". It can be slow at times and prone to timeouts when loading pages. (I mean Facebook can do that too sometimes). But for me, it most closely fills the Facebook void. It is what is always up on my computer and most of the posts you've read from me on bluesky have been made from it for the last couple months.
Wafrn is fun and silly much like old Tumblr (I've been on Tumblr since the early days). I'd recommend it to any of my friends that have not yet set up a Bluesky account. You can turn on Bluesky in the settings which gives you a "new" Bluesky using the Wafrn domain. The default is ActivityPub (Mastodon). It is fast. The interface is simple and things are mostly as you expect. You don't really have any control over the feed settings - I think it is set to "Recent Activity". I'd eventually like some basic controls over the feed. I prefer "Recent Posts" to "Recent Activity". But that is not a deal breaker for me. It has gained my eyeballs the second-most. Usually have it open in a tab alongside Friendica.
I'm working on an equivalent to #BookWyrm but for films (an alternative to #IMDB, #TMDB, #Letterboxd, etc.). I already have a very simple but usable code.
Anyone want to help me with the #ActivityPub stuff?

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 […]https://hamishcampbell.com/rebooting-the-openweb-in-a-good-way/
I believe this is possible and can be built over the ActivityPub protocol, based on what we've learned from the library of things, makerspaces, commons, permaculture, alternative currencies, and so many other amazing concepts and their incredible success stories...
I am currently drafting this project.
Let me know if it makes any sense to you...
Imagine a federated network of physical spaces where people can exchange knowledge, skills, tools, and dreams...
Imagine gathering spaces designed to foster local communities, local projects, and new innovative economic arrangements...
Imagine spaces for care, protection, and engagement with our neighbors as a citizen fellowship...
Imagine, as a result, a workforce of talented people dedicated to transforming their local realities...
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:
mastodon uno admin 
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!
