RE: https://spark.box464.social/pub/objects/01K6QYSXP3QJKFM8Y8CH92G1SF
Bonfire pushed a big release last week, and I'm excited to try out all the new shiny things on my test instance.
Post migration and Quote Posts among them.
activitypub
The fediverse needs better developer resources. The kind ATProto has.
Fixing that gap: rich documentation, interactive examples, instant prototyping.
Built indie-style with FediDB, browser.pub and other community resources to create a better foundation for the next generation of fediverse developers.
Sometimes one spark is all it takes. Share if you care ✨
NodeBB v4.6.0 is out:
Yay! My #Flipboard account is federating: @darnell
Like #Threads & #Ghost, Flipboard is beta testing #ActivityPub on its main site.
I believe Flipboard will prove to be a counterweight to Threads and a prime location for news & pundits (as #Meta does not really desire the latter two on their platforms).
Transparency update: Web framework integration progress
We're sharing a public project board to track our progress on web framework integrations for #Fedify, work commissioned by the Sovereign Tech Fund (@sovtechfund). You can follow along at:
https://github.com/orgs/fedify-dev/projects/1
About this work
The Sovereign Tech Fund invested in Fedify to expand its ecosystem through official integrations with popular web frameworks. This investment enables developers to add federation capabilities to their existing applications without changing their technology stack.
Notably, some of these integrations were completed between our initial application submission and the official kickoff of the #STF investment. This demonstrates both our commitment to the project and the community's active development momentum.
Current status
Already completed:
Next.js integration supporting both App Router and Pages Router (completed before STF kickoff)
Elysia integration optimized for the Bun ecosystem (completed before STF kickoff)
In progress:
Fastify integration (PR currently under review)
Upcoming:
Koa integration
Comprehensive documentation for all integrations
Why this matters
These integrations make Fedify accessible to developers across different JavaScript ecosystems and runtime environments. Each integration follows established patterns from our Express and h3 integrations, ensuring consistency and ease of adoption.
Investment details
Fedify has been awarded a service agreement by the Sovereign Tech Fund for this work, with a budget of €32,000 and completion target of November 30, 2025. The Sovereign Tech Agency supports the development, improvement, and maintenance of open digital infrastructure through investments like this.
We believe in transparent development and welcome community input and contributions.
✨📸 Vernissage 1.25.0 is now available!
This update introduces several new features and improvements:
- Added Licenses management (API + settings pages)
- New "Supporter" tag for users
- "Administrator" and "Moderator" badges on profiles
- Fixed issue with max image limit in posts
- Refactored settings update endpoint
- Adjusted trending content limits and resolved SQL issue
Is anyone using https://fedify.dev? Has it been good for you in production? I have a tiny app idea that would be an excellent fit for activitypub, but I also don't want to spend too much time implementing the federation bits.
If I wanted to mess around with ActivityPub c2s clients what's a server I can host that has support for it?
Looks like there may well be a surge of users from Blacksky and the other "alternative" ATProto instances checking out the Fedi, or reactivating old accounts, given that they're now discovering that ATProto is a Potemkin Village of decentralization and that BSky still hold all the cards.
This time, can we please try not to act like assholes / the HOA while they find their feet.
Checking out Bonfire's latest release. This Federation Status dashboard is pretty cool.
And get this - it's not just visible to admins - end users can see the same, just filtered to their OWN processes.
That's really helpful if you're trying to debug an issue with another platform development team.
I'm thrilled about the launch of @altstore's support for ActivityPub. Welcome to the fediverse!
This integration will enable you to follow updates from your favorite apps and their developers right here on your fediverse timeline.
You can see their server's local timeline here, to get an idea of what that looks like: https://explore.alt.store/public/local
To me, this represents an innovative and exciting new way to spread the social web to new and different kinds of apps and services. What should we make social next??
And a heartfelt thank you from the @Mastodon team to AltStore for their generous donation 💞
I thought Mastodon's quote post controls were extensive...these are "boundaries" that can be set in Bonfire for your posts. Not to mention the roll your own "Custom Boundaries". Mix and Match!
I question how these boundaries federate, are they honored across platforms?
GoToSocial has some reply controls that basically just drop replies you don't want. So other platforms may not honor the request and still send them, but they are just ignored. I'm sure similar here.
#activitypub anyone know of any efforts to provide algorithm recommendations on Activity Pub? It could be a feed similar to #atproto, or it could users I might find interesting. As much as I like the people I come across here, superposters tend to drown out the chronological views

In case you missed it, the fediverse is under attack by a Pro-Russian Propaganda Network. You can learn more about it in the blog post from @iftas below.
Here are two things everyone can do to help combat this:
1. If you see an account posting or spamming Telegram links, report it. Many of the accounts are impersonating news outlets — check verification status, the account's follower count, or the outlet's website to confirm if the account is real or fake.
2. Donate to your local mods if you can, or at least give them a big virtual hug and say thanks. They've been working tirelessly around the clock to combat this and deserve our gratitude and support.
Stay safe out there, friends.

There should be an #activitypub client accessible from terminal.

It “only” took me a few years to find out that I don’t need to have a PeerTube or Lemmy account to interact with them; I just need to copy/paste the link in Mastodon search and then follow or reply.
Why no one is saying this little detail FIRST to all the n00bs coming from the Horror socials? After this you can explain the fediverse; Now Activity Pub makes so much sense to an atechnical person.

I added @pukkamustard #CPub project to the #ActivityPub C2S tracking list at..
https://codeberg.org/fediverse/delightful-fediverse-experience/issues/130
CPub was created as part of the https://openengiadina.net research, where also #ERIS content addressing spec originated.
See:

Current and past @NGIZero grants provided by the #EU via @nlnet has made this inspiring work possible.

Is there already an ActivityPub vocabulary for job openings, or cvs?
I'm trying to make my CV-webpage more visible, and also create a job-bot, that everyone can set up with their sources, and queries.
Obviously the idea is, to help people find jobs, and fill vacancies, without having to resort to a centralized network, like e.g. LinkedIn.
I'm aware of these efforts, though they're not ActivityPub related:

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!
Loops beta release is now available, you can self-host your own instance 🎉

Anyone have experience using #Snac2 for a small activitypub instance? Currently I use #gotosocial which is great but I'm curious about other options. Running a second instance with a different domain for friends or a second account is appealing to me.
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?
I'm excited to show off #Atlas - a social mapping server for the #Fediverse. In about two weeks, we've gone from crazy on I70 to a fledgling app that lets me annotate any location on the globe and share it over #ActivityPub
There's still a lot to do. But there's enough here for me to ask for your help. I would love to hear what you think of this short video, and to start talking to everyone out there who's interested in making maps on the Fediverse.
