We're thrilled to announce Fedify 1.8.1, a mega release made possible through the incredible efforts of contributors from South Korea's #OSSCA (Open Source Contribution Academy). This release marks a significant milestone in #Fedify's development, bringing major architectural changes, new packages, and numerous enhancements across the board.

Note: Version 1.8.0 was skipped due to a versioning error.

🎉 Major Milestone: Monorepo Architecture

Fedify has been restructured as a #monorepo, consolidating all packages into a single repository with unified versioning. This change streamlines development and ensures all packages are released together with consistent version numbers.

Consolidated Packages

All existing Fedify packages now live under one roof:

• @fedify/fedify — Main library
• @fedify/cli — CLI toolchain
• @fedify/amqp — AMQP/RabbitMQ driver
• @fedify/express — Express integration
• @fedify/h3 — h3 framework integration
• @fedify/postgres — PostgreSQL drivers
• @fedify/redis — Redis drivers

🆕 New Packages

This release introduces four new packages to the Fedify ecosystem:

• @fedify/elysia — Elysia integration for Bun-powered applications
• @fedify/nestjs — NestJS integration for enterprise Node.js apps
• @fedify/sqlite — SQLite driver compatible with Bun, Deno, and Node.js
• @fedify/testing — Testing utilities with mock Federation and Context classes

@fedify/fedify

Custom Collection Dispatchers

A powerful new feature that allows you to create custom collections beyond the standard ActivityPub collections. This enables implementation of domain-specific collections while maintaining federation compatibility.

Contributors: ChanHaeng Lee [#310, #332]

• Added comprehensive types and interfaces for custom collection handling
• New methods on Federatable interface: setCollectionDispatcher() and setOrderedCollectionDispatcher()
• Added getCollectionUri() method to the Context interface
• Full support for paginated custom collections

Compare-and-Swap (CAS) Support for KV Stores

Key–value stores now optionally support CAS operations for atomic updates, enabling optimistic locking and preventing lost updates in concurrent environments.

• Added optional KvStore.cas() method
• Implemented in MemoryKvStore and DenoKvStore
• Useful for implementing distributed locks and counters

Fediverse Handle Utilities

New utility functions make working with #fediverse handles more convenient.

Contributors: ChanHaeng Lee [#278]

• parseFediverseHandle() — Parse handles into components
• isFediverseHandle() — Validate handle format
• toAcctUrl() — Convert handles to URLs
• FediverseHandle interface for type safety

Enhanced HTTP Request APIs

Contributors: Lee ByeongJun [#248, #281], Hyunchae Kim [#51, #315]

• Added LookupWebFingerOptions.maxRedirection option for controlling redirect behavior
• APIs now support AbortSignal for request cancellation
• New DocumentLoaderOptions interface
• Added signal options to LookupObjectOptions, LookupWebFingerOptions, and DoubleKnockOptions

@fedify/cli

New Commands and Enhancements

The CLI has received significant improvements thanks to our OSSCA contributors:

fedify webfinger Command

Contributors: ChanHaeng Lee [#260, #278], KeunHyeong Park [#311, #328]

Look up WebFinger information for any fediverse resource:

• Supports handles (@user@server) and URLs
• --user-agent option for custom User-Agent headers
• --allow-private-address for local testing
• --max-redirection to control redirect following

fedify nodeinfo Command

Contributors: Hyeonseo Kim [#267, #331, #168, #282, #304]

Replaces the deprecated fedify node command with improved terminal rendering.

Enhanced fedify lookup Command

Contributors: Jiwon Kwon [#169, #348, #261, #321]

• Terminal-specific image display for Kitty, WezTerm, Konsole, Warp, Wayst, st, and iTerm
• -o/--output option to save results to files

Improved fedify inbox Command

Contributors: Hasang Cho [#262, #285], Jang Hanarae [#191, #342]

• --actor-name and --actor-summary options for customizing temporary actors
• Now displays object types contained in activities

fedify init --dry-run

Contributors: Lee ByeongJun [#263, #298]

Preview project initialization without creating files.

Better Terminal Support

Contributors: Cho Hasang [#257, #341]

Correctly handles color output based on TTY detection and NO_COLOR environment variable.

@fedify/elysia

Contributors: Hyeonseo Kim [#286, #339]

New Elysia integration brings Fedify to Bun-powered applications with a simple plugin interface:

import { Elysia } from "elysia";
import { fedify } from "@fedify/elysia";

const app = new Elysia()
  .use(fedify(federation, { /* options */ }))
  .listen(3000);

@fedify/nestjs

Contributors: Jaeyeol Lee [#269, #309]

Enterprise-ready NestJS integration with dependency injection support:

import { FedifyModule } from "@fedify/nestjs";

@Module({
  imports: [
    FedifyModule.forRoot({
      kv: new MemoryKvStore(),
      queue: new InProcessMessageQueue(),
      origin: "https://example.com",
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

@fedify/sqlite

Contributors: An Subin [#274, #318]

SqliteKvStore implementation compatible across all major JavaScript runtimes:

import { SqliteKvStore } from "@fedify/sqlite";

const kv = new SqliteKvStore("./fedify.db");

@fedify/testing

Contributors: Lee ByeongJun [#197, #283]

Comprehensive testing utilities with mocking support for Fedify applications:

import { MockFederation, MockContext } from "@fedify/testing";

const mockFederation = new MockFederation();
const mockContext = new MockContext();

// Track sent activities with full metadata
// Support custom path registration
// Multiple activity type listeners

Migration Guide

Updating from Previous Versions

If you're using separate Fedify packages, update all packages to version 1.8.1:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@fedify/fedify": "^1.8.1",
    "@fedify/cli": "^1.8.1",
    "@fedify/express": "^1.8.1"
  }
}

All packages now share the same version number, simplifying dependency management.

Breaking Changes

There are no breaking changes in this release. All existing code should continue to work without modifications.

What's Next

With the monorepo structure in place and new integrations available, we're excited to continue improving Fedify's developer experience and expanding its capabilities. Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being part of the Fedify community!

Soon, you'll be able to buy music on the Fediverse.

Bandwagon, the music-sharing platform built on Emissary, has seen a lot of success over the past few months. The site has grown to a catalogue of over 300 different musicians, spanning a wide range of different sounds and genres. After refining search and discovery features, project lead Ben Pate has decided to focus on introducing a payment system for music sales.

Hello, I'm an open source software engineer in my late 30s living in #Seoul, #Korea, and an avid advocate of #FLOSS and the #fediverse.

I'm the creator of @fedify, an #ActivityPub server framework in #TypeScript, and @hollo, an ActivityPub-enabled microblogging software for single users.

I'm also very interested in East Asian languages (so-called #CJK) and #Unicode. Feel free to talk to me in #English, #Korean (#한국어), or #Japanese (#日本語), or even in Literary Chinese (#文言文, #漢文)!

#introduction

Oh, you're posting "news"? "News" that consists of:

- the most hyperbolic language in the world ever. Ever!
- SHOUTY CAPS
- exclamation marks!!!!!
- all of the above, on a monetized platform that rewards hyperbole, outrage & exclamation

Yeah, no thanks.

Sadly enough in many of not most "Habbo Retro" servers the focus is still on "being rich" or having the most money etc

NOT on ours! I removed the money related scores and focus more on the social aspect

Everyone starts out with 100000 of every resource and gets 5K extra each X minutes so no need to spend real cash!

If anyone wants a #Fediverse badge, do login now so i can mass badge 😁

‘#OpenSource And #Ethical’ #TikTok, #WhatsApp And #Instagram Alternatives Could Transform #SocialMedia

from #Forbes
By Esat Dedezade, Contributor.
Esat Dedezade is U.K.-based journalist who covers Big Tech for Forbes
Jan 25, 2025, 12:23pm EST

[a very well-written article with a favorable yet realistic angle on the #Fediverse]

"At the heart of these alternative apps lies the Fediverse platform — a portmanteau of "federated" and "universe" that represents a radical reimagining of how social media can work. Unlike traditional platforms where users are locked into isolated ecosystems, the Fediverse operates as an interconnected network of independent servers that communicate with each other through a standard protocol called #ActivityPub."

I have no hesitation doing blatant advertising for my shop on corpo socials but do feel odd about doing it on the #Fediverse. And every time I mention that someone here is like “Give ‘er! Brother, get PAID!”

On behalf of struggling artists everywhere: thank you.

Another #Fediverse question: we have a lot of "kinda sorta" equivalents. Mastodon is sort of Twitter. Pixelfed is sort of Instagram. Lemmy is Reddit, Peertube is YouTube, Loops will be TikTok, and so on.

Is there a Fedi Facebook?

I've had requests for accounts to follow on here for specific countries/regions. There are many listed at:

➡️ https://fedi.directory/local-and-regional

This has accounts from most European countries, all US states, all Canadian provinces etc. (Some have fewer accounts than others though.)

To follow an account listed on the site, copy-paste its Fediverse address into the search box in Mastodon, then click follow.

To find out more about an account on the site, click its Fediverse address.

#Fediverse #Mastodon

So, 2025 is going to be a huge leap forward for the #Fediverse in general, and #Bandwagon specifically. I've finally made enough progress on the search engine that it's finally worthy of sharing a screenshot.

There's TONS more to do, but I'm so excited about getting this into your hands in January that I couldn't wait to share this now.
