<p>After shutting down <a href="/tags/holosdiscover/" rel="tag">#HolosDiscover</a>, we're rethinking the approach with <a href="/tags/holosindex/" rel="tag">#HolosIndex</a>: users explicitly opt in by adding <a href="/tags/holosindex/" rel="tag">#HolosIndex</a> to their bio with interest tags, then submit their profile. No assumptions, no default settings.<br>This will power interest-based discovery across the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#Fediverse</a>, helping people find each other through shared interests. Still all through <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> of course, with real-time deletions and updates.</p>

<p>It's probably less of a problem now that the fediverse is much bigger (than it was 5 years ago). But one of the things I've heard puts newbies off alternative social apps/ networks is too much meta-discussion about development and deployment of the apps/ networks themselves.</p><p>Maybe we could agree on a standard way of tagging this stuff (eg <a href="/tags/devmeta/" rel="tag">#DevMeta</a>)? Then the DevMeta tag could be filtered out by default for newbies.</p><p>(1/3)</p><p><a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/fediversedev/" rel="tag">#FediverseDev</a> <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a></p>

<p>As someone who has developed several <a href="/tags/activitypub/" rel="tag">#ActivityPub</a> software implementations (<a href="https://fedify.dev/" rel="nofollow">Fedify</a>, <a href="https://docs.hollo.social/" rel="nofollow">Hollo</a>, <a href="https://botkit.fedify.dev/" rel="nofollow">BotKit</a>, and <a href="https://hackers.pub/" rel="nofollow">Hackers' Pub</a>), I believe one of the most frustrating features to implement in the <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> is <a href="/tags/custom_emoji/" rel="tag">#custom_emoji</a>.</p><p>The challenges are numerous:</p><p>First, there's no standardization. ActivityPub specifications don't define how custom emoji should work, leading to inconsistent implementations across different servers like Mastodon and Misskey.</p><p>Rendering is particularly problematic. Emojis must display properly across different contexts (in text, as reactions, in emoji pickers) while maintaining quality at various sizes. Animated emojis add another layer of complexity.</p><p>Perhaps most concerning is the poor <a href="/tags/accessibility/" rel="tag">#accessibility</a>. Most implementations simply use the emoji code (like :party_blob:) as the alt text, which provides no meaningful information to screen reader users (in particular, non-English speakers) about what the emoji actually depicts or means.</p><p>What really dampens my motivation to implement this feature is knowing I'm investing significant effort into something that ultimately creates accessibility barriers. It's disheartening to work hard on a feature that excludes part of the community.</p><p><a href="/tags/fedidev/" rel="tag">#fedidev</a></p>

<p><a href="/tags/fedicat/" rel="tag">#fedicat</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> support is made possible by admins running servers of various flavors (and interesting names) that I can test on, such as: wizard.casa, catodon.social, functional.cafe, gram.social, miraiverse.xyz, wienermobile.rentals, friendica.opensocial.space, plasmatrap.com, bytes.programming.dev, eggplant.place, and takahe.staging.django-cast.com</p>
<p>How PieFed federates “flair” on posts and comments</p><p><a href="https://join.piefed.social/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/flair_examples.webp" rel="nofollow">On the surface flair on PieFed functions very similar to how it does on Reddit</a> – on posts they’re community-specific tags that can be used to filter posts in a community. People can also add flair to themselves which is just a piece of text that appears next to their name whenever they make posts or comments in the community. This can be helpful for giving a hint about someone’s background, interests or expertise.</p><p>However PieFed is federated and there are copies of the communities on multiple servers (instances). The way to use ActivityPub to create and maintain those copies is described in <a href="https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md" rel="nofollow">FEP 1b12</a> which makes no mention of flair. I have made some minimal additions to that FEP, described below:</p><p>For flair on posts, <a href="https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5636" rel="nofollow">the Lemmy devs have already done quite a bit of work on this</a>, which I added a little to, so that flair can have colors. Community actors have an additional type of tag:</p><p>{<br> "type": "Group",<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/c/piefed_meta</a>",<br> "name": "piefed_meta",<br> /* ... */<br> "lemmy:tagsForPosts": [<br> {<br> "type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">piefed.socia1/c/piefed_meta/ta</span><span class="invisible">g/whatever</span></a>",<br> "display_name": "Some Post Tag Name",<br> "text_color": "<a href="/tags/000000/" rel="tag">#000000</a>",<br> "background_color": "<a href="/tags/dedede/" rel="tag">#dedede</a>"<br> }<br> ]<br> }</p><p>lemmy:tagsForPosts is a list of lemmy:CommunityTag objects. </p><p>So now all the different copies of the community will know which flair can be used there. When creating a post in the community we just need to add one or more lemmy:CommunityTag objects to the Page activity:</p><p>{<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/post/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/post/1</a>",<br> "actor": "<a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/u/rimu</a>",<br> "type": "Page",<br> /* ... */<br> "tag": [<br> {<br> "type": "lemmy:CommunityTag",<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/tag/whatever"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/ta</span><span class="invisible">g/whatever</span></a>",<br> "display_name": "Some Post Tag Name"<br> },<br> {<br> "href": "<a href="https://piefed.social/post/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/post/1</a>",<br> "name": "asdf",<br> "type": "Hashtag"<br> }<br> ]<br> }</p><p>In this example the post also has a <a href="/tags/asdf/" rel="tag">#asdf</a> hashtag on it.</p><p>User flair is simpler because it’s not managed by the community moderators and is not a fixed list. PieFed simply adds the author’s flair to every comment (federated as a Note activity) they make. When a Note is received the author’s flair is updated on the receiving instances.</p><p>{<br> "id": "<a href="https://piefed.social/comment/1" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/comment/1</a>",<br> "actor": "<a href="https://piefed.social/u/rimu" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>piefed.social/u/rimu</a>",<br> "type": "Note",<br> /* ... */<br> "flair": "PieFed dev"<br> }</p><p>This means that when someone changes their flair it will take effect immediately on their instance but until they write a comment it won’t propagate to other instances. As flair is primarily used on comments and the people using flair will tend to be posting a lot of comments this is kinda “good enough”.</p><p>It would be trivial to add a “flair” attribute onto posts too and have receiving instances read that. User flair shows up next to the author’s name on their posts so arguably it makes sense to send it then too. </p><p>Let’s see how it goes.</p><p><a href="/tags/asdf/" rel="tag">#asdf</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/lemmy/" rel="tag">#Lemmy</a> <a href="/tags/piefed/" rel="tag">#piefed</a> <a href="/tags/threadverse/" rel="tag">#threadverse</a></p>

<p>The fediverse now has a mobile-first personal server called Holos by @HolosSocial (via <span class="h-card"><a href="https://toot.fedilab.app/@apps" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>apps</span></a></span>). It's a full ActivityPub server that runs on your Android device (iOS coming soon). You own your identity with a custom domain and your followers live on your device.</p><p>Project URL: <a href="https://holos.social" rel="nofollow"><span class="invisible">https://</span>holos.social</a></p><p>Key features:<br>✅ Your server on your phone – Your identity, keys, and followers live on your device, not a giant shared server.<br>✅ Custom domain identity – Permanently own your handle (@you@yourname.com) and take it anywhere.<br>✅ True E2EE for DMs – Real end-to-end encryption for private conversations, a major privacy upgrade.<br>✅ Relay-based connectivity – Connects to the wider fediverse via relays, so a personal server is practical on mobile.</p><p>Open source, privacy-focused, and built to give you real ownership in the fediverse.
